No I'll wait until they throw in a game again. Let me know (anybody) if you see Target or Kmart offering a deal.

You don't need a game, Geometry Wars Evolved is only 400pts.

wiki lists Mario Kart 64 as having no conversion issues, so it should run at full speed 480p.

I'd ask on GameFAQs or something for a solid answer though

I noticed they couldn't get the ghost data working. I wonder why...

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 29 Jan 2007 04:50 pm

Seems they run in 50Hz but have been speed optimised. so no 480p. BOOO!!!!

selfish · Post by **selfish** » 29 Jan 2007 07:13 pm

so does it run at a higher framerate than on the 64 or not?

This thread is as good as any to say this -

DKC still looks FUCKING AWESOME today. Right now. Game blew my mind at the time and in a way still does simply because it's a humble Super Nintendo.

My all-time fav platform game. <3

I love the sweet animation frames when the apes running. DKC came at a time when people were just about ready to jump away from 16 bit consoles. And this game had ads every fucking afternoon to show the graphics with the reminder that it was only on the snes and not a pc or super duper new console. My only problem with DKC is how sometimes they would force you to make blind jumps if you want to find secrets or see something below. So there is a trial and error feeling to it just to see everything. But who wants to restart if they got it wrong and that little area below you was not a secret but some bottomless pit that kills you?

Rare kicked ass in the old days. Battletoads, KI, DKC, Goldeneye.

What I want is a next gen BattleToads with lots of cel-shaded cartoon violence and hard difficulty level which takes ages to master. Microsoft: force them to make a new one for me. Forget Conkurs BFD, PD, etc give me a new battletoads game.

4 games for today, 3 of them from the PS2 Mega Drive collection that comes out next week...

Comix Zone
Gain Ground
Bonanza Bros

and Gradius for the NES

If there was no MD collection due out Comix Zone and Gain Ground would be bought in a flash.

Sonic Jam · Post by **Sonic Jam** » 02 Feb 2007 11:09 am

BONANZA BROS IS AN INCREDIBLE GAME BUY IT NOW.

Though its probably ridiculously overpriced.

Play with a friend in co-op for maximum enjoyment.

Yeah I want to get it, but fuck me that price is a rip off.

I love DKC, and even today it still looks amazing, but i believe Diddy's Kong Quest (part 2) to be the best of the 3 DKC games on the SNES!

How much is it mech?

mech · Post by **mech** » 02 Feb 2007 12:34 pm

I think 800 points at the very least, which is what, $10 or more?

selfish · Post by **selfish** » 02 Feb 2007 12:39 pm

what IS it?

Sonic Jam · Post by **Sonic Jam** » 02 Feb 2007 12:42 pm

Part platformer, part robbery sim, all game.

Co-Op is an amazing experience.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 02 Feb 2007 12:48 pm

$10?

Sonic Jam · Post by **Sonic Jam** » 02 Feb 2007 12:52 pm

I thought it was $8 USD.

mech · Post by **mech** » 02 Feb 2007 12:55 pm

Yeah, US$8, 800 points, whatever that is in aussie. maybe $12.50? Not sure. But it's a fucking rort, no matter what, given you usually get games like this as part of a compilation for much, much less. At least Xbox Live Arcade titles have enhancements. This shouldn't have been more than $4, $5.

Pat · Post by **Pat** » 02 Feb 2007 01:20 pm

It costs $15 AUD for 1000 points.

N64 games: 1000 points, $15 AUD
SNES/MD: 800 points, $12 AUD
NES Games: 500 points, $7.50 AUD

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 02 Feb 2007 01:40 pm

$12.50?

NES games are decent value considering you couldn't find them now. N64 games are a rip off, you could probably find most of them at Cash Converters for $5.
