The only things missing are:

cucarachas.
los luchadores.
Montezuma (which happens to be Mo-C-tezuma!!).
El Seņor Gato (as Sylvester is commonly known by mexican mice).
And Of course the "Sorb-Capra aegagrus hircus" commonly known as the Chupacabras.


Halo DS ... never existed?

May 14th 2007 3:09AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
@Aero:

Nintendo OWNS Metroid. and every variation of that game, they give the job to Retro to do it, because they are a western developer that works for Nintendo, not the other way. Nintendo could easily give it to anyone if they wanted to.

Microsoft owns Bungie so they own Halo and everything related. proof is that "Halo Zune" coming soon. AND "Halo 2 for Windows Vista Edition" The used to make games for the GB, GBA and probably were going to make for the DS but they also want to make a portable console, that's why they stopped releasing Microsoft portable games.

That was this game was going to be, but Microsoft isn't sharing the profits anymore, since they now see Nintendo as their main competitor.

Everyone loves that game. I rather play old game remakes than their new X+ titles

Why would you need adapters if you are only going to use it once??

SSX Blur: Analyzing the controls

"The Wiimote is a step backwards in the evolution of gaming, its a blatant gimmik that attempts to appeal to those who don't know any better, the casual gamers. Casual gamers are looking for an excuse to immerse themselves in the virtual worlds that hardcore gamers have been enjoying for years, but they fear the fact that it takes actual work to compete with the big dogs."

Ok. I don't get it. Are you somekind of industry analyst because you sound as crazy as those guys...

How old were you when you first heard 'Nintendo?'

Mar 16th 2007 6:34PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I started playing Atari 2600 around 1985,Since here in Mexico it was only available in the black market and very expensive The console was around $130 dollars and games were around $30. it was pretty much "underground" until about 87 when everyone had one and we traded games for a week. I had maybe like 5 games but were pretty good: Pacman, Robotron, Missile Commander and Joust I think...
one day I went to a cousin's house and they were playing this game about some crabs and turtles and it was a two player, it was called "Mario Bros." was very fun and like the art on the sticker so I decided I had to have it. How can you have a game no one else has and these guys didn't care about it AND was impossible to fins another? I stole it! hahaha. Guess now that I think about it, Nintendo almost turned me into a criminal since the first one is just a warning hahaha.

One day my dad decided I was going to be pretty good with computers (kind of imposing) so he got me an Atari Xe to start learning BASIC and he got two games for me, "Donkey Kong Jr." and "Hangman" but it came in a cassette tape and since it got chewed by the tape player in like week just played Donkey Kong Jr. and then I realized "hey I know that monkey on the cage! it is from that game in the arcade! the one with the throwing barrels thing next to Burger Time!... the plot thickens. I dropped out of gaming once I started with BASIC programming at age 12, until one day I was in the arcades and they had a new game called "Super Mario Bros", I was like "I've heard that name before, was it a cartoon? I'll rather play Street Fighter..." But then my neighbor totally rocked the whole town! he got a "Nintendo Entertaintment System" with that game from the arcade... but he had another game that rocked my world Punch Out! then I started thinking... "Hey that game is named like another one in the arcade, but this one looks cartoony and the arcade one looks very expensive with that green wires transparent guy... could they be from the same company? what is this Nintendo?" A year later I finally got my own NES and I had already mastered Super Mario Bros before even buying my own... I started to get bored but one day a rare thing happened, A Nintendo TV commercial, about Super Mario Bros 2, the sequel! "Holy shit!! there's another one!!!!" adn then some guy told me, "did you know you can rent these ? you don't have to wait until the store finally sell them, this guy I know in this rich neighboorhood has tons of them and you can rent them like Beta movies!" (here in Mexico we never had VHS just Betas, funny...).

After all this I've come to the conclusion the first time I heard Nintendo I was around 12 years old, but started played Nintendo games since like 5, but I didn't know they were Miyamoto games, I was born 1979 by the way...

PS3 Folding@Home launches this month

Mar 15th 2007 3:06PM (Engadget)
First, Sony stuff isn't build to run 24 hours a day. Second, what advancements have been produced wit this software? Last I remember folding wasn't working on cancer, but working on vaccines for toxic weapons. Very patriotic but not a priority for the rest of the world that doesn't like the american army.
