Pieces of “Masterpieces” On Brawl

I really hope this leads to demos on the VC. They could possibly have demos on different game discs and just follow SSBB, but that seems pretty stupid. It would be better if they just had a channel for it like they’re supposed to have for the DS. I want their DS demo channel ASAP too, but hopefully I won’t need to play a demo for one certain game from the Advance Wars series, as I will have the full version.

Replying to Smash Bros to include classic Demos:

I really think they should have gone with full versions. But then that would hurt their VC sales, so no go there.

Rock Out With Your (what do you mean I can’t say that) Out

Am I the only person who likes the Rock Band guitar? I thought it was more responsive for star power, and I quickly got used to the quietness of the strum bar. Also, I was lucky enough to get a working one. And I found the Xbox 360 Guitar Hero 2 guitar to be rather uncomfortable to play, though it may be that the guitar I used had unusually stiff buttons.

Wait, So Electronic Arts are the Good Guys?

just goes to show you the “news” will tell you what they want you to hear, and not the truth. who knows what other stories they’ve reported besides video games that have been blantant lies.

Thanks for the heads up Wombat. I’m in the same boat - been avoiding the Rock Band bundle because of the poor quality of the stratocaster guitar so went with game only and GH3 guitars. Now I can look forward to finally getting the drums as well.

Replying to Rock out:

I prefer the Strat over the X-plorer as well. I love that it looks much less fisherprice and I never liked the clicky-clicky of the Guitar Hero series guitars. The effects switch, high-note buttons and huge, easy to press back/start are great additions too. If only it were compatible with GH2!
Congrats on your fast-approaching key to drum stardom Wombat. I look forward to a blog entry on you joining a rock band as drummer and going out on tour around Japan with CheapyD as your roadie.

yeah, I cannot wait for starcraft 2. Although the graphics are dated, the gameplay of the original still holds up and I still play it. I’m ready for another RTS to spend the next decade on.

Comment: "Wombat, all you had to to was pay an extra $30 and you could have gotten a nice new microphone and guitar(not so nice. Not only that, but you could have had your drums at launch instead of waiting."


Thanks for the contest.

Man I had this weird flu last week, it just lingered then hit me.
You get a bad cough too, but now im all better, but the cough just stays with you. Every now and then you feel like coughing up a lung.
Feel better wombat.
On the recent cagcast you didnt sound like you were sick at all, you must eat Apricot seeds.

Why halo thar, R.O.B :D
I’m not sure which commercial I prefer. I kind of like the spooky lightning, hahaha. I like how the speaker just “sneaks in” batteries not included and each sold separately. Though even if ever got the chance to see this as a kid, my parents never would’ve gotten it for me. Even Barbies were considered too expensive...and still are, really. Heh.

It’s not like the $80 price tag was unexpected, but I’m still waiting for the time when Harmonix can overcome its publisher’s desire to make 100% profit on plastic peripherals. They kept saying they wanted to include MIDI instrument support into Rock Band; it would have been nice for the few people who own MIDI drum kits to be able to use something a bit nicer, and more comfortable, than what they give you.

I just played through halo on the xbox- single player mode........................It wasn't that great, pretty plain FPS. I had more fun playing black and Far Cry for the xbox.Hope halo 2 is better!

I do own and love Advance Wars: Dual Strike and was planning on picking up Days of Ruin eventually anyway but if I could get it for free and along with a sweet shirt I'd definitely be happy about that.

Is this on the SSB disc or a separate disc? Either way, this is a good step in the right direction for Nintendo.
Unlike XBL, with Nintendo games, most of the older audience knows what they are getting when they DL a game from the VC. I know its not an excuse for Nintendo, but it seems they know this and have yet to but demos up on the VC.

"I would love if Nintendo would find a way to put old GB and GBC games on the VC. I’d love to play Metroid 2 on a lrge screen or maybe the zeldea GBC games. It’s probably not possible. But they did have the GB Player so who knows with proper emulation if it’s possible."

I want Advance Wars and a T-shirt that glows when I'm near easy women.

I too was a Sega Master System owner in the days dominated by the NES. At least I had two other friends who shared their love for the platform, so we got to play all kinds of great games like Alex Kidd, Shinobi, Phantasy Star, Miracle Warriors, and Ys. There was a point in my life where I could literally hit a home run on every at bat in Great Baseball with the Cincinnati Reds. I eventually bought an NES in the mid ‘90s, but the SMS always held a place in my heart.

Hey guys, Great CAGcast as always! I enjoy hearing what you guys say about all the latest games and your opinions on marketing trends and such, but I have to say that after listening to so many episodes it’s nice to hear all your personal stories as well. Cheapy with his Japanese experiences and Wombat, all your insight on living and working in New York, it’s really fascinating stuff =) Congrats to everything you guys have accomplished so far and good luck with everything in the future! I only see you guys moving up, up and up.

No Clever Title for Sick Men



Comment:

It was actually the Sega Master system that made me want a Sega Genesis. A friend & a family member both owned the 8 bit system and i remember playing it as much as possible when I visited. There were alot of cool games on the Master system, atleast for it's time anyway. Splatter House, Shinobi, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, and etc paved the way for many great sequels for their series on the Genesis.
 
I want Advance Wars: Days of Ruin because it reminds me of my childhood as a tank driver in a postapocalyptic, war-torn setting with touchscreen controls.

Sick’s not so bad if you’re not too incapacitated to mash buttons. Now, if you’ve got waggle capability, you’re just faking! Seriously though, take it easy and get better. We selfish batards need our podcasts.
