@gettinmoney662 i agree entirely, RE4 for the GC is a perfect example, second disc was way shorter than the first... I'll be honest, I was a bit dissapointed at first, thinking there was tonnes more content... but at the end of the day, they used two discs because they refused to compromise on their vision, they didn't limit the size, or over compress, and when it turned out that it needed 2 discs to store the content, they went with it.

same can be said with games with any number of discs, the last disc is generally the shorter one... I suppose what they could do, for the sake of consumer appeasement, is split it more evenly, or even make the last one longer.

But more on topic, xenogears used the discs as a sign for a change in tone, which is even more appropriate, even if not intentional.

@teamnintendo omfg mario and luigi was SOOOO GOOOD haha... now that I think about it... I'm not sure I finished the DS one

@EIranzer While I generally agree with your selections... and understand that you are showing them that way to indicate preference to certain games over others... really if you take what you said and simplify it a bit but not trading out then back in a game you get

Trade Yoshi's Island for Super Mario World.

Trade F-Zero and Mario Kart for the Metroid Zero Mission and Nightmare in Dreamland.

Trade Mario vs Donkey Kong for anything. Perhaps Pokemon (LeafGreen), as Pokemon seems to be glaringly missing.


so instead of the 6 changes you made it seem like (by swapping out and in Fusion and Mirror), its really only 4... Not that it necessarily changes the quality of the list... or the fact that zero mission is better than fusion (unfortunately I played zero mission first, then got fusion and was a bit dissapointed)... Anyways, I would also have liked to see golden sun, but since I never got the chance to play fire emblem, maybe that will make up for it.

@Slight of Ham not to mention if you happen to body them outright then you're out of luck... I`ve only managed to get one... and only from playing CTL, and letting the leader kill me five times before picking him up... but i figured itd be too slow to bother trying more that way

@jackal because the market is bigger for the established console, and a good looking game on an older system that outshines its peers will sell far better than a slightly better looking game released on a system that few people have that will age poorly as it wasn't optimized for the new platform...

I see what you're saying about wanting to realize your artistic vision, or maximize your graphical fidelity, but from a business standpoint it doesn't always make sense.

@copa Its a real shame... I was hyped, played the demo, didn't feel it... but then a friend played and got a better score, so I played it again just to one up him... next thing I know I 'got the game' in both the spiritual and spending dollahbonez way. Its a game you have to play a bit to really see if you like, because until you do, you don't realize the creativity, and the fun of teamwork killing online...

that said, once the gow3 beta came out it got shelved, and I honestly haven't played a game since the beta ended... competitive multiplayer seemed like a no-brainer to me... I realize that it would be harder, but it would be that much better... as you get thumped into the air by an enemy, suddenly combat could be so different as you could leash him up after you etc etc... saddening

@benjaminhc sorry for the double post... but to clarify, the Japanese original was Hero 30...

damn lack of an edit button :(

@Red Runner the original game was called Hero 30, so this is the sequel, Hero 30 Second (as in 2nd, related to the fact it is a sequel...).

That said... I want to rearrange it to 30 second hero myself every time i read it

@WhiteShield I realize what you were trying to get at... but when you said 'not everyone will get it on the 360' you failed to acknowledge that it is a bonus for some buyers, and the buyers who get in on the other console clearly didn't mind the lack of incentive... so the people who get it on something other than the 360 (ps3) are, in a sense, additional

@gatotsu911 I suppose that would work, except they wouldn't care, I doubt they are taking themselves that seriously... only the people calling them out would appreciate it, and to many, they would just appear to be missing the point...

if you want a drama, dont watch an action and complain its not drama.... etc

only those who take things seriously could be offended by mockery
