With Wii, you can't possibly think the sell-outs will continue for a full year or more from now. What does Wii have coming that's going to be so amazing this year? The only games I'm aware of are Mario Kart and SSBB that are anywhere soon. Really, when the price gap closes things should change. Or when the people that all wanted Wiis get them, or the people that are buying them for ebay stop getting enough profit from selling them.
Mario Kart? They're making a Mario Kart for the Wii? I have to get that game!
Why wouldn't they be making Mario Kart? 😛 I know I've seen news about it being in development, but really it was a given. Mario Kart is a hugely successful series for Nintendo.

True. I just didn't know they were making one.
So what all games are there to play on PS3? Other than DMC4 and MGS4, I'm really not interested in it at all [unless you we talk about the grill].
I'm not going to buy a PS3 just to try out a new game either. If I've never played it, the only way I can play it is if I either rent it or buy it. Of course that means I'll need to buy a PS3 as well, just to see if I may enjoy a game. No thanks. Sure I could stop by gametrailers, but that doesn't let me play the game.
If Wii Fit takes off here like it has in Japan, the Wii might sell out for another year. Plus, as good as Mario and Metroid are (the two big games from Nintendo for 2007), Smash Bros and Mario Kart are even bigger.
You know what AGN needs? A Smash Bros. Brawl tournament! We should have one after it comes out. If it ever does.
I think that sort of idea has been tried before but fails to work. There's never really enough people here to pull together a tournament.
Well this may be a lot easier to do with the new Smash Bros. game. As long as everyone adds any friend codes we post here, all we have to do is name a time and we can try to set it up. I know I would love to participate!

Dang. It would be fun.
Wait, this is post 999! I only need one more!

Point 1: I'm sure there ARE good games for the PS3. But I haven't really heard of that many (well...I guess I just don't keep current with the PS3 stuff).
Point 2: I'm sure Demand will slow down eventually. I mean, You can't ALWAYS have a buyer! That being said, I hope it does slow down a LITTLE bit so my options aren't limited to: a) No Wii or b) Camp outside at -25 degrees at 4 am.
And if there ever is a smash tourney on AGN, I hope I will have moved out, and have High speed internet. >_> If I DID go online with my current connection..., I'd be booted in less than a minute, and no one would face me in anything, due to the TERRIBLE lag I'd bring with my crappy Dial up.

Lag=Good. That way, I could see what move you are about to peform, and do just the right move to counter it. And I could do it slowly at my own pace, since the game would be going so slowly.
Did you hear Mario Strikers (the Soccer game) actually has online region locking? Apparently you can't play people overseas or something.
And lag doesn't work that way russadwan.
I would be happy to engage in any SSB/M/B tournament that took place here. I already know exactly who I'll be and what my tactics will be, and possibly who I'll be facing and who they will be using.
Will we be using custom stages though? I'd love to put that stage idea I had into motion and share it with everyone.

Custom stages would be neat. Maybe we could have a custom stage making tournament, and wichever one wins is the one the fighting tournament takes place on.
Wow, I'm actally a bit psyched for an AGN Brawl Tourny. Thats seriously awesome. Why don't we have more AGN online shit like this?

Actually, a demo for Devil May Cry 4 is out on the 360 marketplace. So that leaves Metal Gear Solid 4 and.....LittleBigPlanet?
Oh yeah, there was an interesting article on slacknews about a new FPS called Frontlines: Fuel of War. For those of you who have no idea what the game is, it's basically the first real game by the same group of people who created the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942, a mod that was so awesome that some people bought copies of 1942 just to be able to play it.
Now, they were planning to come out with a Xbox 360, PS3 and PC version. However, THQ, their publisher, wanted them to can one of the versions for cost reasons. Can you guess which port they decided to drop? Yep, they decided to KEEP the PC version and drop the PS3 version. Considering that nothing without a Blizzard Logo on it has sold very well on the PC in years, this is a pretty telling response if they would rather push forward with a PC version instead of a PS3 version.

I like how you used the singular form instead of plural. You mean the Sony Defense Force, one of the most ridiculous and delusional fanboy groups this side of the Ron Paulsies? I'm pretty sure that the webmaster originally created the website as a joke and decided to keep it when some fanboys with more time than sanity decided to take it seriously.
Nobodoy in their right mind would ever buy a PS3 based on anything except brand recognition or wanting a cheap blueray player. Everyone who bought one to play games is a sucker, plain and simple.
Well like I said, I think the 360 (other than hardware dieing issues) is the better system. But PS3 has a special placement in this generation. All those japanese developers making next-gen games will be making them on the PS3 because the 360 is barely twitching in Japan. Perhaps that's Sony's few advantages. Bluray, and no competition in Japan for the next-gen market.
But things will change. Supposively Wii software hasn't moved near as well as hardware. I think it's a bad sign. And the PS3 isn't a complete turd, it's possible to make fun games on it too. Just look at the PS2. Once price isn't as much of an issue, and if they ever fix their "XMB" so you can have their equivilent of the Home button on Xbox in any game and such, it'll be better than it is now. And while it isn't as big of a market, Sony only has to share Japan with Nintendo.
I do agree though, buying a PS3 early on certainly was a bad move. But at the more reasonable 400$ it isn't as bad. But really 350$ or 300$ would be much better. And they should develop a software emulator for PS2 compatibility on the 40GB model which apparently is the only model BestBuy is carrying now. Atleast that's the rumor now.

We had a really fun Smash Bros Melee tournament at the 2005 AGN Con. It was myself (Link) and Goki (Roy) in the finale match. It was a great match, but Goki won out in the end.
In terms of Wii software sales, I don't think they're doing too bad: http://wii.ign.com/articles/847/847472p1.html
AGN Tourney? I'm in. Not sure weather to play with Meta Knight or Sonic as my main though. I'll try em out, see how they each feel.
(1800! 200 more)
Why has this turned into a PS3 debate? Seriously, Brawl all the way.
I swear to god though, they had better let us play music off our SD cards [for local battles that is, one Wii]. They did it with Excite Truck and atleast one other game [can't think of it right now]. I'm not kidding when I say I want Dragonforce playing. Facepalm me all you want. That or Blind Guardian. Epic meter is off the scale.
mmm....Dragonforce playing in Brawl...Niiice...
^_^ *hums "prepare for war" under his breath*
Dragonforce is pretty nice, and I can see how that could work really well. (Personally my favorite is "Heart of a Dragon", but that's not much of a fight song).
I wasn't aware that technology existed, but that's pretty cool. I hope they put something like that in. However, I think it's at the very least cool that there's an option of stage music of some sort already confirmed for the game (a few different themes for each stage, as I understood it thirdhand?).
Yeah, you can choose different music for each stage, kinda like how in Melee if you hold down L and R for some stages it plays different music. Except in Brawl, you can unlock new music for all the stages, and then choose which song plays when you pick the stage.

My roommate, a liberal, is convinced ron paul is so conservative, that he's actually liberal. My money is that he's seen all the damn signs and just jumped the band wagon. I live in wisconsin, and I swear to god, this fucking state loves his moron ass.

Say what? God, I need to boot up the ol' Melee and try this.

...That is, if that site isn't blocked for him. 😉
It works with just R alone. Hold R before and during hitting A to enter the Stage, and it'll USUALLY select the alternate music.
In Brawl, you'll have a bunch of sliders you can slide around to choose the likeliness of which music piece (That you've unlocked; generally via CD item pickups mid-match.) rather than it just being a standard and an alternate. So if you want only one music to play, set one to 100% and the others to 0%. Obviously, this means that you can't be in a Melee situation where you can choose between one or the other. It's TOO much of a manual control in order that that would happen.
Oh. Sadly, they specifically mentioned that we will not be able to load custom music off of an SD card or anything to that effect. It saddens me too, I know. :-/
