The movie features many fucked up scenes. Such as 7+ minutes of two of the ‘main’ characters digging holes. You also have a scene every like second basiclly of this guy sitting under the bridge fishing. In the end he catches a bike.

The start of the movie is like Animal Crossing DS and the movie features a chick which seems to have more emotions than that guy which gives em’ out in Animal Crossing. It also features bunny suits and many more.

Mr. Reset appears when the girl Ai falls on the flower bed of some uptight character. He then also appears to bitch when the guys are digging holes.

You also have a huge side quest of finding fossils and ufo parts. Yay!

So many things are just ‘so true’ to the game. Anyway if you want to watch it you can find all the parts of the movie here.

On that note as well. New Comic on Trinest.Com. Ya know that new fold screen phone? Let’s say this is so what everyone is going to use it for.

Did I mention it’s a touch screen too?

Lets continue the idea, the idea which I’m doupt full would ever happen. But anyway.

The original idea was just a phone and GBC games to play. But I expanded it, why? Because the target market (GBC generation) is in their late teens to late 20′s. What do they want? Why business fuctions. Why? Because they are job age and work for it.

So like past phone ideas, I included my OS in the design;

Lets talk about the features.
It will feature full play back of both GBC and GB games by a download service simluar to the Virutal Console on the Nintendo Wii. It will also feature a slot so you can play the hard copies you own again.

It will feature a hard-disk about 2GB – 5GB + why? Because to store the games, also to store saves, the GBC and GB games you own are probably dead now, so lets make the hard-disk the battery for the cart and walla, you got your saves hard-disk afied. You can then also download saves off the next etc. for the titles.

Why no GBA feature? Because it dosn’t need one because the DS plays GBA games.

Include a camera? Why to have a camera is a priority these days in most good phones.
Also you could do something like another ‘GB camera’.

You have a PDA function, which offers word proscessors, internet, chat etc. Which will work lke channels on the Wii. The Shop channel will connect with your shop channel account on your Nintendo Wii.

As for this idea? I hope personaly it happens. How about you guys?

Also for the phone bit you could have it work just like Windows Mobile 5.0.

Also you could have a feature where the Pokemon you catch in the older ones can be sent to Nintendo and bemed to your DS game.

Update Some people are confused with other features. My idea does include wi-fi and bluetooth. For exmaple wifi for the interent and blue-tooth to send savs to your friends near by as well as other things.

Also I have been asked if the idea has a media player. I can say that most PDA devices have one so why not?

After all its only an idea…

Another feature I thought of was when your saving to the hard-disk it backs up the save so if the save is currupt or something you have the previous save.

Pokémon D/P came out recently and it was a great-ness again. We played to become the champion, shared secrets to become the champion.

Now a few weeks after the game came out I pulled out my old GBC. I slotted in one of the best games of all time; Pokémon Crystal for the Game Boy Color.

I thought all would change, I thought I would love D/P how I loved the GBC range of games. But it never happened. I looked at my Pokémon to find the following;
Politoed – Lv. 100
Suicune – Lv. 84
Entei – Lv. 47
Persian – Lv. 65
Sunkern – Lv. 14
Noctowl – lv. 23
Looking at the dimly lit screen of the GBC I then noticed something these stats are better than my D/P Pok̩mon. Granted I have D/P Pok̩mon more even around lv. 50 Рlv. 60. But in this game I had a l.v 100. I probably got it up to lv. 80 and then used the Rare Candy cheat, but granted I worked harder than I do on D/P I was shocked.

Politoed is one of the best Pokémon IMO, it’s my favourite Pokémon and well. I’m kind of depressed I can’t send it to D/P.

Now I look at the differences, I fly around a bit. I noticed the Pokémon is a proper sprite when you fly than in D/P and past games such as R/S they were just a blob.

I decided to go to one of the best areas in the game, The MooMoo Ranch. This ranch had some great times, it was my training area. I great one at that, I decided to enter the grass. Switching Politoed to the top persition I was shocked as I used a K.O. Unlike D/P where the health slowly shoots down, the K.O was sudden and impacted a shock on me. The Pokémon was K.O’d instantly. Not in 10 seconds, but 1 swift second.

Running around the MooMoo Ranch I absorbed the music, it was pure and creative. An army like sound, preparing you for what’s to come. I sat down for a bit listing to the music.

I get my Pokémon to fly me to the edge of Johto. I used surf on the edge of the map, re-discovering the adventure of going to the original region, my Pokémon once again was nicely spirited masterpiece. During my adventure I came across a Tentacrule, I attack with Politoed instant K.O and continue on my adventure.

I was now at a location with once again quite good music, Tohjo Falls, the link between Kanto and Johto. I fly to a town. I sit for awhile looking at while another region, the bits which were taken out. The game would have been much better with them in.

I then opened up the Poke Gear, remembering a feature which should have stayed. That is the phone. I ring my mum up to find I have lots of cash saved, I get prompted if I should keep saving. I say Yes of course. I then randomly call everyone else on the phone list.

Another feature in the Poke Gear was the radio. Another great feature which is truly missed. The channels play some awesome music and depending on what you are on tells you things you can do or see. Much better than the TV’s of Pokémon D/P because, you can use it anywhere, any time.

As soon as I left the radio I got another surprise of a great feature Nintendo should have kept in. That is I got a phone call. Telling me about Goldenrod Dept. Store’s bargain sale. If Nintendo kept this feature they could have beamed special features over Wi-Fi. Oh well Nintendo your loss.

I turn off my GBC color. Memories flood back.
Nintendo’s greatest hand-held was in my hands again. The DS is coming close, but the future seems bleak again.

What would be nice is if some Indi service or Nintendo releases the GBC again, with a back light screen and a hard-disk. The hard-disk would be used to play games we can’t anymore because the battery died etc. It would also be used to download more games. In fact let’s make it a phone. I would love to see a phone using the GBC’s old ideas. Nintendo bring back the past, not the future because it has what we all loved.

What made the statement? Entertainment Weekly’s Geoff Keighley who asked the video game legend if he feels he’s losing touch with American gamers because games like Halo often sell more copies.

Miyamoto responded, “I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.”

What is interesting in that same interview Miyamoto says he thinks that Wii owners don’t want to play Zelda. As the title did poorly in most areas. I don’t think he has seen the Australian sale charts. Zelda is still in them most weeks.

Miyamoto’s strategy is to create games he likes, rather than what others like. It seems to do well. Maybe more people in the industry should take the risks. For Miyamoto it pays off.

But my rant for today seems to be based on the fact that Console and Handheld gaming is becoming more and more of a rip off. And when it comes to Console gaming the features you can do are becoming more like PC’s.

In the future people are going to have to decide if they want a PC or a gaming console. As handhelds become more like PDA’s and Consoles become more like PC’s. The idea you should have a PC just only seems to be if you rather the perks the generation of PC’s have at the moment.

But I think its going to go away soon…

As console and handheld gaming becomes more like PC’s I believe people are going to switch to consoles and consoles are going to become more like PC’s. A general ‘design’ which people must follow, and then if you have a console with ‘different hardware’ such as Console B has a DVD player and Console A doesn’t then you can ‘upgrade’ and have ‘less features’ like PC gaming. So Console A buyers will buy CD games etc.

Games should be cheaper and shorter. The game should start out as a ‘basic’ version of the game. Enough to enjoy and hate at the same time. Then downloads for a small fee should update the game to be bigger. Basically if games where more episodic their will be more hype? I don’t know. I haven’t given enough thought into the matter, but when I do. I’ll post my opions.

But back onto the topic of Consoles been more like PC’s. What we see now is things to come. With consoles able to do most ‘basic’ things a PC does. In the future we might see them doing more and more.

Recently Nintendo has started shutting down illegal torrents who are selling the ROMs they are re-birthing on their Wii console. While this is fine and all. They also remove games from their list if people downloaded it pior to release.

Nintendo should provide demos of their VC games to the public, because that is what most people use ROMs as a ‘try then buy’. If someone loves the game as a ROM, they are more then likely to go out and buy it the next day. While there are some who try…then keep trying after they enjoyed it. Most do it the ‘try buy’ way.

Now I’m not going to be all stale on Nintendo for this whole article. Say someone downloads a dead licence, say a million people do, loved the game etc. Game Companies should get this data say of where the person is such as America and then the game they downloaded. They can use this information to release the games again or make another one in the series. Then they can select the most downloaded region to day view the game first.

The blind eye is a gamers view which is seen so much. Mostly it is shown as fan boy-ism. Every gamer has a bit of fan boy-ism in them. No matter how much they say they are not fan boys of any company or game. They always seem to have a week spot for a certain company or developer. Sometimes this is just preference. But most of the time its almost a love, hate relationship with gamers and company’s.

Fan boy-ism is defined by most as someone who’s preference is shadowed by a blind experience with a company. In other words, someone who just has the one company or series of games in there collection.

Now some people may think this is just a small number of people. But in real life, the amount of people who are shadowed by there favorite company or are to reluctant to use other company’s products. This happens a lot in the gaming inderstry. People get blind of another company and don’t want to experience what others have to offer.

Basicly the down sides of been a fan boy is you don’t experience what others have to offer.

Other types of blindness to company’s mostly lie in catergrys of fan boy-ism. But there are different ranges of them. Kinda like the chilly chart. Chilly can be very very hot, or so soft its untestable.

It may not be fan boy-ism but some people have never touched some company’s games. Some titles such as Spliter Cell which Ubi soft produces. A few people I have talked to have mentioned that some Ubisoft franchise will be the first times they buy them. They are getting them on the Wii, but in most cases they have appeared on the GC as well, so it seems that if a developer supports it gets less and less basis fan boys towards their company.

I also suposse most don’t under stand how much it takes to develop a game. Oh well.

Some comments where basicly what you would expect. But one which captured me like a frog in a garbage bin. This comment was “We hate reviewers because they don’t understand the time it takes to develop a game and what is involved in that process” the fact is this also includes 80% of the video game players not just reviewers.

Many players don’t take the time to sit and think “I wonder how they made this game” or “Man this game sucks, but after all it took a lot of time to make”. For the last comment a lot of gamers think that because it took along time to develop it should be ‘perfect’. Where as all think ‘gah’ when they play a bad game and put it away for good.

But another thing which collides and basicly makes media reviewers look bad, is that when they think bad game. They don’t think that someone could see ‘good game’. Also with media reviewers a lot of ‘good games’ are ones which had a lot of media hype, and if they just so happen not to like the game. Whoooshhhhh there goes a good review.

But the fact is these days gamers don’t respect the development times and that developers don’t respect gamers as a whole no more, in terms of support and interacting with the community. But there are ones which still do this, and there are gamers which understand development times.

I think soon one day, video game developers and the community will be one again. Acting as one body. Getting what the gamers want, so they get good profit and adding new ideas so new gamers come into the scene.

But this will never work. Because people are a species which likes to work alone when it comes to their ideas or creations. They work as a team with their team, not the community. Keeping their idea, ‘their idea’ thus making it their dream, their emotions not someone else. Which is a good way to do games, because then the game designers passion is engraved in the creation. Reviewers should tighten into this world as it seems its the best way, and if game designers loosen up into the community then the balance of gamer and creator will be one again.
