[quote name='botticus']This is ridiculous... there's a used copy of this game at my EB already and yet GR does not have my preorder in.[/QUOTE]

How can anyone get a used copy that fast? Someone so impatient as to not give the game a chance?

No clue... EB probably gives what, a whole $10-$12 credit, since they're selling it for $24.99? So impatient and rich/stupid.

Knowing EB, he probably only got 50 cents for it vbg

either that or someone didn't realize a DS game dosn't work on a PSP.

Should have picked it up for me. My friend needs a copy, and I gladly would have paid for it.
 
well, I just made it to rank 116 >_< almost to my goal of being in the top 100 like I want to be... though I'm sure by the time most people read this, I will have dropped in rank like usual.

I haven't actually swung by the store, I just saw it in the store locator. I suppose I could pick it up for you if you'd like. I just want a copy to play myself... I'm going to bitch at GR today and make them look for it while I'm standing there.
 
Will anyone be on tonight? I'm showing my friend the game and I want to show him multiplayer with VOIP and everything.

I might be on later, depending on what I'm doing so who knows...
 
can anyone else confirm the $24.99 price for MPH used at EB? I wouldn't mind picking this game up for around $22 bucks after edge card.

don't worry, I'm on the same thing as you. I can't stand it. Usually I get 2 people to start getting connected, then they drop... then again 2 peopl, drop. Then 1 person and the game starts or i get an error... >_
 
[quote name='trunks982']how many energy tanks are there? sometimes i get lost in the game.[/QUOTE]


i think there's 9 of every type... alt. weapon plus, energy plus, and missile plus.

as for the errors, I'm guessing half of it is with the servers. They may be getting overflooded or they are having problems (even the nintendo wifi metroid site is buggy) and it's causing alot of mess ups for people. Today I spent a good half hour trying to get on a stabel game >_<

everythin gin the game seems fine except for non-game related online problems.

Oh...you don't have a copy yet? Then you should go get it an play online with us CAG's, I 've been looking for a cheaper copy for my friend which is why I asked, but you should get it (if they have it).
 
[quote name='Swingman']I've gotten so many errors on wifi it isn't funny.

Did they test the wifi before it went gold? lol[/quote]

Oh...my brother has been getting a lot all day today. So it's not just the router, that's good to know. I've been opening more ports and changing setting so he can play without problems, but I guess I'll have to wait it out.
 
im a newbie to this wifi stuff so i have a few questions:

why is it that i always get a 1 vs 1 match????

How do i host a wifi match????

If i change my name will my friends & rivals still see me???

thanks
 
1 vs 1 is hapenning toeveryone...

to host, you need to go to the friends wifi and create a game...

if you change your name, I don't know but I am almost sure that when they go online, their data on you will have it's name changed to your current one.
 
just checking out my post, im messing around withmy650 treo its confusing just like prime online??????!!!?!?!?!? anyone down for a friend game those run smoother??

If I try to just find random players, I'll never get more than one opponent. If more than one of the spots lights up, it either drops all two or three or (rarely) tries to start the game, resulting in an error. This is annoying, as a one-on-one game is vastly different than a match between three or four players and gets tedious much faster, especially when you're much better or much worse than your opponent.

Friends games, on the other hand, seem to work without a problem. I've never had enough people on to participate in a four-player match, but have had three on several occasions, with great success. VOIP also works flawlessly. Hopefully Nintendo will be able to get their server issues straightened out so the online experience is a little more consistent.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']Online GOOD....

I love the sounds the rumble pack makes. The one low sound sounds like an Atari bomb sound :)[/QUOTE]

That is it!! I was trying to figure out what that noise sounded like and you hit on the head!
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I haven't been online in the past days, but I'll be on in the near future.[/quote]
I haven't been on cause I'm struggling to just get on in the first place. Oh well, back to single player. Gosh these rehash bosses make me want to laugh. WTF happened yall (NST)? Couldn't just use Dark Samus from the Demo or a beefed up Guardian or something?
[quote name='SpottedNigel']Online GOOD....

lol, just lol. The rumble pack sounds like it's working so hard too. I wonder if it works better on a smaller, lighter, and shorter gba slot, DS Lite.
 
Sorry Rolento, Prime, and deadlite. I keep getting the 86420 error whenever I try and join your guys game so I gave up. I'm looking on the Nintendo tech forums and I see that's a common problem with trying to get 4 people in a game, but whatever. Maybe I'll play tomorrow than.

sometimes, it works if you turn off the DS and try again. Yeah, we were wondering where you were, but all was okay. We kept ourselves occupied.

As a side note, I'm 20 wins away from a 3 star rank :) I'm looking forward to being promoted :)
 
anyone else having trouble connecting? I can't see to connect and it's not my router:bomb:
Edit: I connect to nintend wifi its just that I get disconnected.

don't worry, it's a common problem.

I find that it's easyer to get a game going when less people are playing online. Last night at 3am I got two non friend/rival 4 player games which surprised me since it's rare for tat to happen...

also, 12 more points until I hit 3 star rank. I wonder how many points I will need for 4 star... >_
 
i need to get on wi-fi...i suddenly got super bored of the single player mode today. I like fighting the other hunters, but the adventure is just bland to me since it isn't all on one huge interconnected planet.

You can try out the bots too. I might do that more since people on wifi are too good.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']I'll be on in an hour or so so look for me then...

the bots are very good to play aroudn with and actually partially go toward your hunters license.[/quote]

I will concur. The bots are brutal at 3 stars. Their accuracy and the fact that they know what the mode is about (if it's Bounty and you have the octo* they will HUNT you down like a turkey during thanksgiving) unlike some people when you play online, makes them uber deadly. Although you'll probably still win, don't be surprised if you play something like Defender without teams and get your ass handed to you by the bots.
 
wifi is getting rediculus... I was so close to ranking up and now i was set back from 6 points to next rank to 12 points...? I'm realizing alot of players are abusing samus and sylux, and occasionally trace. Samus is starting to be cheap due to her homeing missiles. You can actually snipe people since they have homing ability from afar and do massive damage... thus being cheap. And sylux players abuse the shock thingy... i've only seen one or two sylux players who know how to play good without ever using the shock and dominating everyone. Trace can be cheap due to alt. form speed and the ease of sniping, but trace isn't as bad. I do say though that I have a ton moer repsect for Kanden, Weavel, and Noxus players since it's alot harder to be cheap with them.
 
you forgot weavel, he is abused like a dirty russian in boot camp, damn turret, i've only know rolento and maybe one other known to use him like fair and smart. RESPECT TO KANDEN USER NOT ALT fuckING. But there in the game and sometimes have to play cheap to beat dumb homo being a dumb homo.

yeah. I'm starting to realize that I am going to have to play between two characters from now on. It's going to have to be Kanden for 1 on 1 fights and Weavel for 3 player fights since Weavel is very limited in 1 on 1. I'm working on my kanden since his charged shot is great IMHO... superb damage and homing as well as view scramble is great.
 
Anyone familiar with wif-fi matches where your opponent runs into a wall and continues to run into it (and I've not been able to kill them while they're running against the wall) and then you're suddenly 'disconnected from the host'? This happened to me five matches in a row last night and I thought there might be some glitch that gives wins to these people doing it.
 
Every character except Spire and possibly Noxus has the capability for cheap shots. I've been guilty of it with Kanden's alt form.

Ever gone head to head with two people being Sylux? It's intense. You can shock each other continuously, sucking energy back and forth and it just becomes a matter of who runs out of ammo first...Then you just try to not take a missile to the face.
