...if you buy any of these three games: I-Ninja, R: Racing Evolution or Pac-Man World 2. For those who didn't know, Myomoto(EDIT: Miyamoto), creator of Mario and whatnot, took the famous Pac-Man license and created a multiplayer version of it where one player plays as Pac-Man via a GBA, while the others share the TV screen and play with GC Controllers. It seemed like a really foolish idea to actually sell this game, but our fears that Nintendo was losing it were finally subdued with this announcement of just bundling it with some games. And I must say this is a pretty good idea. The best marketing they could get for this whole GBA-GC connectivity thing they're pimping. I just hope Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles does well, I want to see more titles like that.

Damnit! I always get it wrong! That's it, I'm calling him Shiggy from now on.

Hehe, you do that. That's what everybody else is calling him as well.


Oh, and your edit is still incorrect. :P

The problem with this is that you have to buy games like I-Ninja, R: Racing Evolution, and Pac-Man World 2 to get it. Games that normally, most people wouldn't buy.

I'd buy I-Ninja for GameCube. Well, if it wasn't exclusive to PlayStation 2 in Europe. Sony seem to have a way with grabbing companies' nuts and twisting them around. (Interestingly, Beyond Good & Evil is also exclusive to PS2 in Europe. Thank goodness it's coming to PC...)

That goes for all new Ubi games, in fact. Prince of Persia and XIII are the same way.

Ah.. good ol' shifty cyclops. Possibly the most emotive smiley to date.

It actually kind of bothers me that I DON'T have any problems understanding what ol' One Eye is trying to express.

That's a Capcom game, Pac-Man is from Namco....
But think GBA GC connectivity is worrying all the previous experiments were bland, all they did was unlock a level or aid the game a little, the Zelda one was decent... But the rest...

Yeah, the GBA GC connectivity has been pretty lax. That's why I hope people pick up on Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. It's just such a neat game from what I hear.
