Gaming NDS & Wii Titles Expected Week of April 14th 2008

[Hadrian]

I am more excited about Rondo. And for River King whenever it comes out.

I think Rondo will disappoint many people but I reckon I'll like it. River King is next week, though up against the developers Harvest Moon DS games (not Rune Factory which is good) I'm not expecting much though I loved RK on the GB/GBC.

Major props for highlighting super princess peach, its imo a very under rated title that gets ignored for its star character. I had a lot of fun with that title.

I don't think the cover helps either, its obviously aimed at the girl gamer but they should have chose someone else for the game.

The reviews say it's also a bit on the easy side... is that true?

That's the main reason I avoided it. I certainly have no problem with a female lead, but insultingly easy (which was what one reviewer called it) is another thing entirely.

 

[Bob Evil]

It is quite easy, yes.

It was one of the first rumble pak games, too.

 

[DarkSpace]

I like the coming week. And the rest of the month of April.

I'm really hoping for The World Ends With You soon...

Why was "The World Ends with You" released in EUROPEAN version today? (April 15)
And "Rondo of Swords" still hasnt been released?

 

[Curley5959]

Yeah, I know, I got it and its not as great as everyone makes it out to be!!

Whats so good about 'The Worls Ends With You'

Because, and you really should know this, European games always get leaked quicker, and the dates for US games are their shipping dates, not their in-store dates ...


As for, why is The World Ends With You good ... play it, and see

... if you don't like it, no-one can explain it to you, as it's all to do with this thing called 'taste', and how we all have different 'taste' ...

Well in Europe games get shipped before the release date so the stores could stock up and so on, and some stores are cheeky enough to put these on the shelves before they are supposed to so they can get ahead of their competition.

Rondo of Swords is a North American release and for some reason publishers mostly only say when a game is shipped, this maybe because some games can't make various stores in North America what with it being a fucking huge region. There is a little note at the beginning of my thread that explains "shipping dates".

Anyway , games are usually in stores AFTER the date given for them and usually appear on our interwebs Wednesday night UK time, unless its a big game that needs to be shipped earlier due so that it can reach all the big stores in time for the date given.

So many games are released earlier in UK. Got it. Thanks!

I've just realised the ds is the only console/handheld that doesn't have a pirates port. Although to be honest I'd be afraid they'd throw in way too many touch mini-games that are just mediocre.

Also Shame on you Dr. Reiner Knizia. With so many excellent Card/Board Games you could have adapted to the ds, you instead make a brain age clone. This saddens me.

I'm looking forward to Rondo Of Swords, That piratey game looks worth a shot, and I'll probably give the baseball game a try. Which is nice as my ds has been sorely neglected compared to my psp as of late.

Would like a Pirates! on DS too, loved the PSP version and of course most of the previous ones.

 

[neveras]

I still have, and on occasion play my NES copy of Pirates.
I loved that game to bits when I was younger, even if I sucked at it and barely survived past 3 years
