Pokemon for the GameCube
Author: Pappalink
Date: February 1st, 2010
Dear
GTM,
I
am a big time fan of the pokemon series (on the gameboy
mind you, not this crap they keep putting out for console,
except for of course puzzle league) and became excited when
I saw what I thought was a new poke RPG for the cube. It
turned out however to just be another stadium. What I would
really like to see is nintendo create a new pokemon RPG
for the cube and make it online, for one bad ass MMRPG.
What I would give to face off against some dude in Zimbabwe
with my collection of Uber-mon. Also they should make the
levels infinite, so that gameplay would never end. Maybe
you could even start your own gym or something, or become
a member of the elite trainers. Since Square and Nintendo
are dating again, possibly there could be a joint venture
between the two like 1996's awesome Super Mario RPG? Your
thoughts.

MegaGamer2010: I think the idea of an MMORPG is pretty
interesting. Especially now because of all the new pokemon
types that came with the newer games. It could work.
But
I don't see it happening anytime in the near future. If
they did decide to make the game it would take a few years
and would definately be released in Japan first like Final
Fantasy XI.
The
only problem I see is that especially in America, Pokemon
only appeals to the younger kids. I remember I used to love
it when I was little but as soon as I turned 12 or so I
just grew out of it. And I doubt pre-teen kids and under
have the kind of money to be paying monthly fees or even
understand the concept of an MMORPG. I don't think it would
be a huge success in America.
N65ultra: If only Nintendo wasn't so anal about online gaming.
In recent interviews with Iwata, it is obvious that they
aren't going to bring any of their systems online for a
while, and this is going to ruin them in the end.
This
is a perfect idea if Nintendo would wisen up, I say.
MegaGamer2010: Yeah, Nintendo has no clue how much they are
hurting themselves. Sony and Microsoft realize the potential
in online gaming. It makes games a lot more fun and makes
them last longer.
Seriously,
imagine being able to play Rogue Squadron, Mario Party,
Super Smash Bros, or Mario Kart online (ok, mario kart can
be with a program similar to xbconnect, but it's still not
all that great).

Dude, where's my dignity?

GTM,
The
other day I was watching TV and a new commercial came up
for the playstation title Final Fantasy X - 2. Now being
a long time fan of the final fantasy series and squaresoft
in general, I instantly got excited to see the previews
of the first final fantasy to actually be a sequal to another
FF. As I watched I stood in horror of the scene that fell
before me. The three main women from the previous game (I
apologize for not remembering any of thier names at the
moment) were dancing around in scantily clad uniforms, breasts
bouncing around in all thier pixelated glory, doing things
I hoped I would never see a FF character do.
Singing
pop songs on stage, running around like a Lara Croft rip-off,
and just generally looking like a Christini Slutulara music
video. I was astounded, shocked, and hurt. Now one can say
that squaresoft (err, square - enix) must change with the
times. But the final fantasy series didn't need changing!
Why oh gods of GTM, why is squar!
e doing this to their loyal fans! First Celda, then the
MicroSoft Ca$hBox, now this!! The world has seen better
days.

N65ultra: I feel your pain, Pappalink. With the exception
of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, it seems that nothing
really that great has come from the merger of Square Enix
just yet.
Lysonicstorm:
Unfortunately, the media, a bad licensing agreement, and
some horny kids like to push stuff around, and a good saga
can get owned. Look at poor 007, things are going sweet
with Goldeneye, Rare awed the world, and then EA ate the
license, and pumped out crap like a city sewage system.
And I can only fear the worst with EA eating Westwood, and
it's wonderful Command and Conquer games, Generals was pretty
good, but like I am fearful of the future. Time will tell.
Sorry about FF, I haven't played it.

Traumatized GTM Viewer

Dear
Games That Matter,
I was appalled when i recently visited your website, games-that-matter.com.
When I went to read the gamecube reviews, I expected to
see some legitimate opinions on some of my favorite games.
Instead, I saw that both Mario Kart & Mario Party are
nowhere to be found! As a female gamer, I expect that at
least the best games ever created should be on your website,
and the two games I mentioned deserve some respect. Thank
you for your time.

N65ultra:
I will have to admit, the lack of a Mario Kart Double Dash
review would be my part. I said I was going to review it more
than a month ago, and it just hasn't happened. Expect to see
a review up once I stop being so lazy.
Lysonicstorm: Yeah Jim, you never do any work on this
site you lazy piece of crap. Meh, get Monotoli or G_23 to
do it, they have it. You got enough to do. Well, Miss Hillaire
has a point. We do need to try to get especially the most
popular games reviewed. It is nice to hear from a female gamer
every now and then. Thanks for the mail.
G_23:
Obviously, there are a lot of reviews that aren't up because
unlike IGN and Gamespot, we can't get games as soon as they
come out (or earlier) and finish them in one week. I sure
as hell know I can't. And, I, too have been way too lazy
when it comes to this site. I did write up a review for
Viewtiful Joe a few weeks ago, but I pressed a wrong button
and my review got erased and I felt too lazy to retype it.
Lysonicstorm: Laziness is teh enemy men.

Fire Emblem?
Author: Karsten Treu
Date: December 14th, 2010
My
Fire Emblem review was accepted, but never put up. What's
the holdup? Maybe you should have more than one person (Jim)
putting up the reviews. Jim said he would edit it and find
screenshots, but I don't see that happening.

Requiem:
I can do this.
It
wasn't very good. You aren't part of GTM. It should go in
the "Reader Reviews" board. Have a nice day.
Lysonicstorm:
Uh, Jim should not be promising people stuff he can't do
though, we need to revamp the system for reviews.
N65ultra:
The main reason we aren't accepting reader reviews right
now is because we're still trying to work the kinks out
of the site. Later on down the road we will probably institute
it again.
