Title: Nintendo Power, just stop it.
Post by: Tupin on January 12, 2009, 03:21:24 PM
I'm not going to fall for this again. I know it's going to be something like some obscure RPG or a new Wii series game.

Still, there is that unnamed space game in their B-roll of 2009 games. And as always, waiting for a new Pilotwings.

Anyone else sick of Nintendo Power pulling this gimmick?

...that might come in handy on a road trip though, but why not just make a GPS for the DS

Just a gimmick to have people buy the next issue of Nintendo Power.

I don't mind it. Then again, I don't really read Nintendo Power...

LOL. But who knows... Last couple of times i've been pretty disappointed with it. Maybe this time they'll at least do something decent.

That wouldn't be surprising.  Having some sort of map/navigation tool for the DS.  I personally wouldn't buy it and I know a lot of others who won't.  So thats more money they throw down the drain.  If they are starting to get that ridiculous about stuff for the DS, then they need to stop!  That will only hurt sales and make the DS seem less cool.  There is a recession coming soon, and people are going to be more strict on what they buy and what not.

Well, there are three options:
1. A game we already know, thus not being any surprise save for the stupid five year olds who don't know how to use the freakin internet
2. A new game that was blatantly obvious that it was coming out (NiGHTS, Black Knight, etc.)
3. Goole Map channel for the Wii for some arbitrary reason

Actually...I might buy it, because I'm wtf-terrible with directions.
...Unless it's really expensive.

It will only work if you have the internet!  It probably be some application that requires you to have wifi.  For me, it wouldn't be too useful, as I don't have wifi in my car.  And I rather save the money.

Whatever was the game with the red moon and the shapes that I thought were Polkiemans?

Then get a new 2009 dodge ram.  For some reason, dodge put a mobile wi-fi hotspot in it.

But, then again, you could just buy a nav system and save you a car.

I haven't checked Starmen.net in months, but I think they learned to shrug these things off and expect nothing.

The castlevania was stupid and annoying but made some sense, they can't just say new rpg or something.

In case anyone was wondering, the hint turned out to be an RPG called Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

what a surprise a game we already knew about. This is why magazines/newspapers are completely obsolete.

Maybe if e-paper came when they said it would, it would have lasted longer.

Nintendo power seems to just advertise games, even if it isn't a nintendo game they always put alot of anticipation on a game and make it seem like it's really good. But when the review comes around they complain about how much the game sucks. Except if he game is made nintendo, then it always gets a 8.0+
