3/20/06 Scenario

Makes me sad the demo in OUR kiosk at work is for True Golf. WTF? Come on! Throw us a freakin' bone here! No customers that come in our store will want to play a golf game without the names Mario or Tiger Woods attached to it. Give me Tetris or Metroid!

Is metroid really that much more improved? The demo really is old. I'd like to see the updated version. See if it's any better at controlling. I'm not expecting it will be, but I'd like to see it in person. And use it in person too.

Urgh, I wouldn't buy either. Two games which a lot of fuss is made out of that I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever. I mean, you can already play Tetris and Metroid Prime on other machines if you want to.

I think you've pretty much missed the entire point of life.

And for the question, Metroid. I want Tetris, bad like... but some of the recent interviews with Metroid devs have me absolutely psyched for this game.

As mentioned earlier, the demo that came with the DS was a tech demo and nothing more, and it wasn't until past E3 that it actually got the go ahead for actual development. According to all the recent previews, the demo shipped with the DS isn't remotely representative of the final game at all. Plus multiplayer online is going to rule, which was one of the main reasons they waited so long to release. They wanted the WiFi service to be in place so they could do all the crazy Bungie-esque stuff with MP:H stats like they do with Halo 2 stats.

This is a good read about how far the game has come:

But I also agree with meancode. Oblivion, for sure. I'll wait on hunters and Tetris... hopefully with the 30 hours I'll be in the air next week i'll have some time to polish off some of my neglected DS games, and then I'll be able to rationalize Metroid/Tetris.

[Poofta!]

both of those games are bleh. get a good gba game instead.

[Yoshukai]

Depends on how Metroid reviews. Same goes for Oblivion. I have high hopes for it, but you never know. It's kinda hard to screw up Tetris, although entirely possible.

So, for right now I would say Tetris.

[njiska]

Tetris. Both the Demo and Concept of Hunters doesn't thrill me.

[Jasoco]

It's possible to screw up Tetris. Look at Worlds.

But DS Tetris looks pretty good. Not just the Nintendo character tie-ins and music but the new modes. The only thing I still don't see is a SCORE! Where's the SCORE! Whatever. I'm willing to overlook lack of a score for the Mascot stuff.

As for Hunters, I'll have to try an updated demo to give it a real chance. If the original demo is that much different it's the least I can do. I might like it. I might not. I'll decide when I play it. If I can't control it, it becomes a non-purchase. If I like it, hell, I might buy it WITH Tetris.


Edit: Also, dammit. Me and My Katamari comes out the day after. There goes my paycheck.

i would say Metroid. I mean Tetris is Tetris and i can go and play it on umteen million other systems allready.

But True Swing Golf is better than Tiger Woods or Mario Golf. Have you tried the demo? That game is amazing.

I'm hoping to import both within a week of their release. I just can't wait! Then there is Worms (on both DS and PSP), Lemmings (on PSP) and Outrun 2006 (I'm picking this up on PSP, as well). I've got Super Princess Peach arriving shortly (I hope), and I really want to pick up Electroplankton sooner rather than later.

The crazy month of March.

How can anyone really choose between Metroid and Tetris? Both are surely going to be fantastic additions to your DS library, and games you'll never want to take out. I realise some people may not like action games, or puzzle games, but if you like both - you surely have to buy both?

[videogameking26]

I'm getting both but if I had only one to choose it would be Metriod Prime: Hunters
