Utter, utter bullshit.

Those R4-chip guys must be raking it in. Apparently there are over 18 million in circulation and have all been bought by people in America. I wouldn't even have thought even half of that figure would be even close to the amount of R4 chips that exist in the entire world.

More like 90% AREN'T pirates. Hilarious.

the fact that it is a tie in to the movies should already tell us how shit this game is going to be. think of all the awesome movies that have had shitty games tied to them, now imagine how shit a game tied to a shit film will be?

I saw the first Manhunt as a game version of Saw. Man trapped in crappy situation is forced to do awful things for some freak.

Kinda like how GTA: Vice City was basically Scarface.

The game sounds dumb. Most film licences have been poorly converted. Goldeneye was the only real stellar movie-tie in that I can think of while Spider-Man 2 was enjoyable but I struggle to think of any more beyond those. The best Star Wars games were all based on comic spin-offs or expanded universe stories, the actual tie-ins such as Episode 1, that Clone Wars shite and Revenge Of The Sith have been shockingly poor.

Saying that, I don't think you can make anything worse than Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game or E.T (widely considerred as the worst game ever made, and the cartridges are still buried in a desert somewhere in America I think).

The majority of the recent ones seem to have at least got competent (I thoroughly enjoyed both Harry Potter and Ratatouille though neither I would describe as great games).

Into the mix of better than half-decent movie-tie ins:

Ghostbusters on the C64
The original vector graphics Star Wars arcade game
Alien Trilogy on the PS1

Not easy is it?

Is this the real box-art anyone know? Or any idea of an official race start date?  

[luckysalt]

I believe it is the real box art

No idea on release date, I heard q2

I think we [europe] will end up getting this before smash bros

I admire your optimism salty, nintendo hardly have a track record (no pun intended) of treating europe well. I reckon xmas if you are lucky.

[luckysalt]

well all the time they've been quoting Q2 for this, but never gave Smash Bros a firm release date in Europe other than 2008

I think they plan on releasing this first before Smash here, actually we could get it before any other region, like we did Mario Strikers, they seem to like releasing online games in different regions to test the water

Its not only us who get a bum deal, they are only just releasing Metroid Prime 3 in Japan and we had it ages ago

[luckysalt]

oh yeah Smash Bros

heres the finishing moves video on youtube, shame that some characters have virtually the same [ie the starfox characters]

[minute5072]

snake's finishing move is awesome

played assasin's creed for a bit last night. was good but i think it could get tedious over time. altair is bad ass tho

the present day bits are so bloody annoying tho! its like "you're having fun killing people eh?...not any more. time to sleep"
