Which system do you guys think will win this
holiday in selling? (don't lie) Gamecube,xbox,ps2,GBA, or Dreamcast(lol, good
but won't sell) Thanks.
| BeckerMan2K1:
Playstation 2 will win the holiday season, but strong showings from the Xbox and
the GameCube will give it some run for the money, but with the largest installed
user base, and a great catalog of games (Grand Theft Auto III, et al) it will
win the season.
|
| Hairball: It seems
likely that the PS2 will win, but Xbox and GameCube are taking it to the limit. |
| Namek: PS2, I doubted
it at first, but it seems to compare pretty good to the other systems. the GCN
was a let down. |
| TWgamer: Playstation 2.
No Contest |
| Tiger: GameCube, PS2,
and GBA. Xbox has been selling well, but that console will falter IMO. |
| BigHornSheep: I think
it will ve either Game Cube or Dream Cast, because they are both great systems
at affordable prices. |

The GBA will never be a true success until an
original Mario adventure game is made for it.
Also, when you had the halloween decorations up, the title where it says "Super
Mario 128 Central" was all Luigi from Luigi's Mansion, and it looked really
good. Maybe you should change the original one.
| BeckerMan2K1: GameBoy
Advance is already a success, it is one of the fastest selling systems in
history, and with killer games like Golden Sun and Tony Hawk 2, it doesn't need
an original Mario title to be the best handheld system ever.
|
| Hairball: Despite all
the crap for GBA, it is still selling extremely well. We have a Christmas
graphic up at the moment, and after that I'll change it again... but I haven't
decided yet. |
| Namek: Okely Dokely |
| TWgamer: answer I
agree, Nintendo should stop the Lazy-ass porting. I also liked the Halloween
2001 decorations. |
| Tiger: Yay! HB isn't
THAT bad at graphic making.. ;) |
| BigHornSheep: Hmm, nice
thought about GBA. What wasn't SSB Melee kind of like that? |

What the hell is Nintendo doing letting panasonic
run operations, where do they get any power at all? This is the biggest mistake
that nintendo has ever made, especially when every other system coming out has
some sort of DVD. If the DVD compatible system is not released in the U.S. then
all Nintendo will ever be known as is a child's system. The DVD would not only
reach out to the adult audience but also the teens.
| BeckerMan2K1: Panasonic
is not calling the shots, Nintendo is, and they are very big on not allowing
their platform to be pirated. As of right now there is no way to duplicate a GCN
game because only mini-DVDs and mini-CDs will fit in the system and a mini-CD
only holds just over 100 MB, while you can't buy the 1.5GB mini-DVDs.
|
| Hairball: This is just
my personal opinion, but I think it seems more childish to have your movies
playing on a video game system, I would rather have separate DVD player for my
home entertainment system. Even if the GCN had DVD playback, the functions would
most likely be limited like the Xbox and PS2. |
| Namek: Yeah, Nintendo
should just try following the crowd and do what the other systems are doing.
They don't seem to be making very good decisions on their own. |
| TWgamer: Its annoying,
Nintendo could have made more, we all had high hopes when it was still known as
the 'Dolphin' |
| Tiger: Panasonic is a
good company, and if Nintendo lets other companies handle other operations, it
might free up Nintendo some time for other projects and improvements? |
| BigHornSheep: Come
again please? |

You know, this website looks very nice. All the
art work is cool looking, the site design is good, but there is one thing i
hate. Your writers, they suck, almost everyone. They have no idea what the hell
they are talking about in any of the "editorials" they post up. They pretty much
show that this is a website run by a bunch of loser kids who have no idea what
there doing, but the "proffesional" look saves it. I look in your message board
and there all a bunch of morons! It's crazy how many stupid people there are in
this world! And good lord, they have websites!!!!! The only person here who
seems to know what their doing is Hairball, all the rest of you are dumbasses
and should shut the hell up and never post anything on the internet again.
ESPECIALY that Guyingreen person, i mean really, go read his editorials. He is a
complete no name dinksuck who has no idea what he is talking about. I think we
should feast on the flesh of all the stupid people in the world. Yes it's true,
im a canibal! Well im done, Sucks to you and your dumbass writting "skilz" (not
you hairball, your alright)
| BeckerMan2K1: Your
saying that I suck at writing? Have you even read the editorials I wrote? Hello,
you are talking to a Journalism Minor here, I think I know a thing or two about
writing. Don't be so quick to judge all of us based on some of the other staff's
work.
|
| Hairball: Haha, that
was quite an interesting piece of journalism. |
| Namek: What about me?
If it's the design that keeps the site kewl, then i should get some credit. I
made it dammit. |
| TWgamer: Why dont you
try better then, you write every single article again on this site and we'll
rate it, smartass. |
| Tiger: "Loser kids?"
What are you doing in this website? :) I have to admit though, the writing level
here is much better than other fan websites. Sorry, we dont all hold a degree in
English, but our skills are sufficient to run a Mario website well. |
| BigHornSheep: Why thank
your for your ... comment. I have never written an editorial for Sm128c and
rarely post on the Message board, so I guess I am good.. Hehe. And btw, I am a
kid, so what's your point?! |

Do you get tired of fools writing in to the
E-Mailbag?
| BeckerMan2K1: You just
answered your own question. Just kidding, no, actually it is quite fun to see
just how many people in the world are mentally retarded, and this site seems to
be some sort of beacon.
|
| Hairball: Of course
not. But maybe the fools will get tired of writing anyhow. |
| Namek: I get tired of
the emailbag in general. |
| TWgamer: All the time |
| Tiger: Yes...and yes
again. |
| BigHornSheep: Yes, kind
of like what I am doing now? |

is not gay, I can't say the same for Hairball however, j/k.
|
| Hairball: I don't see
how a holiday like Christmas can be gay... |
| Namek: Cause he's a
happy woman. |
| TWgamer: Last time I
checked, Christmas wasnt gay. |
| Tiger: His "as gay as
christmas Hairball?" HB has a hairball? How come? Sorry, please rephrase that
statement. |
| BigHornSheep: I wonder
who might that be? |

Do you intend to add to the site the second part
of the History of Mario? Written by twgamer. As i found the first part very
intresting, and have been holding my breath for the second part to be added.
| BeckerMan2K1: People
get great ideas, then let them fall to the side and are never finished, I mean
look at Hairball's long (ha) lived Mario Story. Although I should talk...
|
| Hairball: It seems like
most of our specials are going down the drain... |
| Namek: Never! I dunno. |
| TWgamer: Sometime when
I feel the time is right to finish it. |
| Tiger: You have to ask
TWgamer that. |
| BigHornSheep: I don't
think the "specials" will ever be updated again. |

| Namek: It's probably

Learn to write. Your editorials blow.
| BeckerMan2K1: If they
blow so bad, tell me what is wrong with them cow-boy.
|
| Hairball: They blow
like the leaves of a tree on a mid-autumn evening. |
| Namek: HEHE |
| TWgamer: Yep, they blow
you away. |
| Tiger: How can
editorials blow? You can only read them. |

you write them! |

Nintendo has some of the ugliest chicks in video games. |
| Namek: Daisy |
| TWgamer: I dont perve
on pixels. |

the room temperature they are in.. |
| BigHornSheep: Choice
number three: Britney Spears |
Sam wrote:
The Game Cube is not as much of a "new generation
console" like the PS2 or the XBOX, mainly because of the lack of a DVD-Player.
Why? Why didn't Nintendo equip the Game Cube with a player?
| BeckerMan2K1: It's
about the GAMES people, not DVDs. Why would I want a DVD player (a less than
average one at that) on my GAMING console? I have a DVD-ROM on my laptop and a
set top DVD player I bought two years ago, I don't need three of them.
|
| Hairball: Most likely
because Nintendo is cheap. |
| Namek: I think Nintendo
would have been better off rereleasing the SNES. |
| TWgamer: Yeah? WHY? |
| Tiger: Console DVD
players suck. Get your own DVD player. PS2 DVD player is okay, but it doesn't
support VCDs, and it is glitchy on a lot of DVDs. Plus, if they included a DVD
player, it would hike up the cost to $300. Would you rather have a $200 w/o DVD
or $300 with? |
| BigHornSheep: Its
probably because of the new "thing" - DVD-RW, with those around they can really
lose alot of money by using normal DVD's. |

most pokemons are so short their legs are connected directly to their waist,
hence they do not I repeat do not have an ass. Except for maybe Snorlax being
the exception. |

I have a question about the gamecube. Can I use
the same RF Switch set from my N64 for my new gamecube? I am pretty sure I can,
because the gamecube one looks exactly the same as the n64 set. Please help me
out!
| BeckerMan2K1: Yes, the
new Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, and GameCube all use the same RF Switch.
|
| Hairball: It would be a
good idea to experiment with it. Umm.. anyway, they are all the same, you can
use them for the SNES, N64 and GCN. |
| Namek: Yes, you can. |
| TWgamer: I dont have a
GameCube. |
| Tiger: Hm. Try it out. |
| BigHornSheep: Probably,
because its the same interfaces. |

Because it didnt used to suck. So shush yer mouth. |

I looked on the GBA list of upcoming games at the
nintendo gameboy site, and there is an entry for Super Mario 3! Is this true
that my favorite game of all time is coming out for GBA? Or is this just another
rumor?
| BeckerMan2K1: It is
coming, be happy.
|
| Hairball: Yes, Super
Mario Bros. 3 is going to be re-released on GBA. |
| Namek: Tis true |
| TWgamer: Hopefully as
Super Mario Advance 3 (with Mario Bros AGAIN) |
| Tiger: Could be a
typo..but it WOULD be awesome if SMB3 came out on GBA. |
| BigHornSheep: Are you
sure it was called Super Mario 3? |

What the hell is the deal with the mario kart for
gamecube. When does it come out. What is it called? Can you hook GBA to it. And
what the fuck is Mario Sunshine gonna be called???
P.S. I masturbate more than you.
| BeckerMan2K1: It is
called "Mario Kart for GameCube" at the moment, and no release date is set.
Mario Sunshine is called "Mario Sunshine", duh.
|
| Hairball: I believe you
answered your own questions there. |
| Namek: Eh... I think im
sick. |
| TWgamer: (reads post
fast) Your GBA is a hooker and you masterbate over it in Sunshine with Mario? |
| Tiger: Mario Kart is
good enough for GBA and N64. There are no plans for Mario Kart for GC, but in
future games, you can hook up the GBA to the GC. And..Mario Sunshine is gonna be
called Mario Sunshine. Yes. |
| BigHornSheep: I am not
sure, that is nice to know. |

Basically you're asking a bunch of Nintendo

Nintendo fanboys, they need to get a life. |
| Namek: Gamecube will be
a failure unless it gets more adult games. |
| TWgamer: I am not a
Nintendo Fanboy. I am a Playstation 2 Owner. I dont like the GCNs chances. It
may die. |

How can you save your game in Super Smash Bros.
Melee without using a Memory card
| BeckerMan2K1: You
can't, with a disc based system, you have to save to a memory card or harddrive.
|
| Hairball: By spanking
your GCN so that it magically turns the SSBM disk into a DVD-RW, and then it
will save. |
| Namek: Dunno. |
| TWgamer: By remembering
where you are and playing up to it each time :P |
| Tiger: Nope. |
| BigHornSheep: That is
not possible, the memory card is the storage area. |
