Oh, my, god.
Wait, April 1st?Isn't that a little suspicious?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: weckar on 07, October, 2009, 03:08:00 PM
Maybe a little... Still, it is the start of a new quartus...

Post by: Sajin on 07, October, 2009, 03:48:00 PM
Either way, it's a good way to get the fans hyped up.
I just hope they don't rush the game...A sequel that took 7 years to be announced deserves to be 5 stars, right?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 07, October, 2009, 04:31:00 PM
Oh cool. I would say that 5 stars... Is not good enough for Golden Sun. Maybe, at least 9.8 stars (if out of ten).

Anyway, I just noticed, but... Bangaa avatar?

Have a nice day.

how ironic would it be if it came out on April 1St after all weave been through.

If it did come out on that day, I would lol BIG TIME XD
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 08, October, 2009, 05:22:00 PM
Yes. However, I somehow doubt that Golden Sun DS will be out that late... Considering that Camelot told everyone about it on June the 2nd, and also that Nintendo has it right beside Super Mario galaxy 2, and both of these games are only a few games later than the latest Zelda game (the one with the silly train), which is scheduled for December 7th.

My guess is either January or late February.

Have a nice day.

We better just wait for something more credible, I don't wanna get my hopes up for something that isn't gonna happen any time soon as I don't think we'll see GS DS until about half of 2010. (Don't get me wrong, the sooner it gets out the better.)

Off-topic: Yeah, I like moogles too but for some reason I've always been a bangaa fan since they first appeared (FFTA and FF12). Although they have fewer jobs compared to the other races. Wait, why are we even talking completely off topic?

On the subject of april 1st, all we need is one small delay, which most games get, to push the release off of it. Unless there is a REASON it's coming out that day... o-o
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Atrius on 12, October, 2009, 10:22:00 AM
I don't believe that's the real release date considering the only thing we've really heard about the game from official sources is that it's being made.
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: weckar on 12, October, 2009, 02:59:00 PM
well, there's graphical footage, doesn't that count for something?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Rolina on 12, October, 2009, 07:00:00 PM
How can there be a count down with no actual release date?  If one was announced, we'd have known it already.  Hell, I don't think they'll have one before we get more than a poster and a summon rushing demo.  Until we get more info, I doubt any date will be anything more than a placeholder.
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 15, October, 2009, 05:39:00 PM
True, but a guess for a due date is better than no idea at all. However, looking at the Nintendo Website, I would guess that it will be released some time in later January/early February. I know that both Golden Sun DS and Super Mario Galaxy are (or were, I have to check again) right beside each other on the Game List, and there were both only a few games later than Spirit Tracks (Zelda), which is coming out on December 7th. There is also a game or two coming out on Christmas day (I think) that are between Zelda and these two games.

And this is how I get my guess.

Have a nice day.

Edit: These two games are still beside each other, but they are now a few games after one that is coming out January 10th, so... I am guessing either early-mid February, or the last few days of January.

if I were to buy a DS for this, what type should I get?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 15, October, 2009, 05:50:00 PM
Hm... Well, most people would say (I think), the newest you can get, but...

I have Nintendo DS classic. This and NDS Lite can play GBA games, but NDSi can not. Lite also has more advanced lighting settings, as well as it being a smaller machine. However, I think NDSi has a camera, so... Your choice. Some of the older ones might be cheaper though.

Have a nice day.

A new kind off DS will be coming out in 2010, supposedly NVidia is providing the graphics card.

Needless to say, after being felt to have been forced into the DSi, I am NOT happy.
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Rolina on 26, October, 2009, 06:02:00 PM
...Umm, what?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 26, October, 2009, 06:07:00 PM
Role, my thoughts exactly.

Sorry MegaDarkNero, could you please tell us what you meant exactly?

Also, it depends on the rating system used. Technically, out of 5 stars, I wouls award 5, out of 10, I would give 10. Out of 100, probably about 97 or 98. If Yoshi were in it, even as a cameo, then it would be 99.5, and if it were longer (either with or without Yoshi), then I would make it 100.

Have a nice day.
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Charon on 26, October, 2009, 06:28:00 PM
*post deleted, do not count Role's post as a double post

Um, why exactly would Yoshi be a cameo in GS DS? :P
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 26, October, 2009, 06:39:00 PM
Don't worry, I rarely consider any double posts to actually be double posts unless they have been made together within three days or so (but I am still careful everywhere except for Yoshi's Lighthouse).

Oh no, sorry, for a second, we were talking about how many stars the first two Golden Sun games would get if we were to vote for them, but that was sort of out of topic.

Anyway, the video trailer is enough to rate the new game at least 80% of the total rating, once it gets one.

Have a nice day.

Come on, E3's in ONE WEEK, at least wait until after it's over before you start this stuff up again!

Quotesheez thats terrible by Camelot/Nintendo giving fans nothing... for a 365 days

(365 days)(8) = Seven years to include before the trailers (big deal, look at one of the swesome Twilight Princess trailers to see a legendary beta spider). The trailer was awesome though.

E3? Please tell us about it, okay (I don't watch television)?

Have a nice day.

You don't watch it on TV.  You stream it online.  All the gaming sites have it streaming, such as IGN and GameSpot.

Saw it last year.  Ask the neighbors.  They thought I was being attacked when GSDS was announced.  I had to reassure them that I was fine.

You probably had to reassure them that you were simply celebrating how awesome it was.

I remember... I dressed like Ivan to school after hearing about it. The day right after, actually. It was hilarious:

Beautiful costume. If I had one, I would have tried dressing up as Isaac or something.

School in the middle of June? Is that unusual or something?

Lol, cool! A huge smile was plastered on my face for a few weeks, could barely even remove it (I always have a slight smile, but this was abnormal). I was considering randomly yelling summons, but I decided that I liked my school too much to do that to them.

Ah. For myself, next week is my last before exams *cough*only two this year*cough*.

Have a nice day.

It was June 3rd. School went out then on the 15th. We start after Labour Day, so we end a lot later.

This year it's the 18th though ;_;

Technically, my last day is... Either Monday 28th or Tuesday 29th. However, that is only if I want to go in to see my marks after exams, which are on the week after next.

Luckily for me, E3 will not interfere with my exams, so I will have to stream them... Does anybody here know how to do it?

Have a nice day.

88 and a half for me. Guess that makes me a lucky bastard, eh?
Title: Re: Da countdown!
Post by: Salanewt on 01, September, 2010, 11:31:25 AM
Basically, but it is now 89 for myself (excluding today). If I am lucky, the stores will stock their shelves a day or two early to make some sales. Unfortunately for me, it is a school day! To be fair, the 26th would have been perfect. This would allow kids to be able to start playing it, and have plenty of time over the weekend. I am fine with getting a late birthday present though, only a 6 day difference. Perhaps I will consider getting something like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy near the end of October to tie me over, but it all depends on how I do at school.

Have a nice day.

Post by: Salanewt on 01, September, 2010, 05:12:13 PM
Oh yeah, North American copies are not compatible with European systems. I have barely any idea why they did not allow for maximum compatability between all Nintendo systems in every region, I would imagine that it isn't too hard. There is always piracy though... Maybe that is the reason. Anyway, I am very unlikely to download it online, at least unless/until there is an editor for it, no matter who makes it.

Dont think DS classic is limited either lol, I have a lite anyhow.. PSP is also fully regional, likewise the PS3...
My Wii after being modded can play multi region games also

Ooh, nice! Also, I just remembered something. When the game is released (or when the game file is leaked and someone here downloads it, etc.), I am going to leave GSHC until I complete it (I might leave my computer while I am playing as well). I suppose this means that I have at least 89 days before I take a short break from GSHC, and when Dark Dawn comes out.

Have a nice day.

Same here! I just wandered wherever I wanted to. Of course, this meant that I brought Piers with me to Airs Rock, I found all of the Trident pieces, and Eoleo's grandmother was so nice as to try to have my team killed when I already found the pieces. Might as well let Briggs rot for a little bit before releasing him, right?

Have a nice day.
