Doesn't anyone think this is a crappy release date?

Too late in the year, missing November. I really don't like this date. I was hoping Mario in October and SSBB in November which belongs to the biggest games traditionally. 

If someone attacks me for being anti Wii for this I will seriously never post anything about the Wii ever again.


It's over, Nintendo is finished.



Around the Network

Thus are the demographics of Gaming 

Casual
Casual gaming is about appealing to non-gamers.

Core
Core gaming is about innovating and reinventing gaming while providing immersive and creative gaming experiences. Core knows no Genre, no Age Level and no demographic.

Hardcore
Hardcore gaming is about appealing to current trends of popular imagery in mature subject matter specifically geared towards males ages 15-25. Game play is typically geared towards the simplification and streamlining of game mechanics rather than innovating or exploring them. The games themselves are aimed at providing immediate gratification and typically keep to time tested genres rather than taking risks with hybrid formulas. Over time these games become a blur of clones and copy cats.



End of 2007 Predictions:

Wii =18m

360=14m

PS3=7m

 

DS=64m

PSP=30m

Is it possible that the reason online was not announced for SMBB and the late release date was to give Sakurai time to properly implement online. If they announced it now but couldn't deliver later people would complain about it. But if they are able to get it to work and anounce the online aspect a month or two before the release, it will add alot of hype and press just befor it is released.

Hmmm thanks for correcting me! Where did you find those release dates. I can't seem to find it anywhere where it explicitly says Pal-release.

Perhaps I had to wait for it so long that it seemed longer hehe. I'm pretty sure I bought a Zelda game around Easter once though...


Well, as a long time Nintendo fan I don't have to find those release dates, I remember them.

Gamefaqs is a good source if you are looking for release dates of games:

A Zelda game around Easter, huh? That would be "A Link to the past" for GBA then, March 2003? This is the only Zelda game released in that time frame I can remember in the recent years. MM was November 2000, the Oracle games were October 2001, WW in May 2003, Minish Cap in November 2005 (interesting to note, this was 2 months before the american release), TP in December 2006. The spin-off Four Swords Adventure was released in January 2005.

And after all there is still the possibility that you picked up a Zelda game around Easter which wasn't exactly released at that time...

How dare you Rol. Advertising another site instead of the VGChartz Game Database. J/K

While it is not full yet, if more people contributed, we could have it full of information by the end of the year.

From what I see, Blones has done a magnificent job at adding Box Art. Many others have contributed as well. I have been working with the top ranked games, with colors, reviews, and walkthroughs when I find them. I would do more, but my computer is not that fast, and adding Box Art can take between 3-4 minutes on just that.

Nah. Online will be the daily dojo update on the day Smash is released.

 I personally prefer the term Traditional rather than Core but it works either way.

And, there needs to be a distinction between casual gamer (3 games: 1 Madden, 2 GTA) and expanded gamer (brain games, nintendogs).
