Nintendo begins the process to fix the game crashing bug from Metroid: Other M by asking players who have a save file corrupted from the game to either mail the file on an SD card, the Wii if no card can be sent, or contact them for any other assistance.

Nintendo also confirms they will pay or reimburse for the postage paid to consumers mailing the card or Wii.

Nintendo also posted how the bug is produced and how it can be avoided on their game support website.

It is also assumed future batches of the game will have the fix already on disc or be part of the next Nintendo firmware patch.

BTW, sick of extreme claims to a games difficulty/competitive level. And I understand how simplistic certain DOA mechanics are, but like hell you're gonna win pressing back+free. Get serious.

"Just use ultras in SF4 to win."
"No strategy in Smash, anybody can win."
"Tekken's a button masher."
"Soulcalibur's a button masher with scrub ringouts."
"Thermal's for noobs."
"Reach's bloom is for noobs."
"Stand still and counter to win in DOA."

And so fucking on. Almost always from people who spent all of 8mins with the game. And what gets me is what is actually brain-dead and scrub shit never gets called out or is in fact celebrated. Aim bloom in Reach; "scrub shit". Flag juggling in Halo 3; "being strategic". Mega Crash in TvC, "scrub shit". Spamming assists in MvC2, "being skillful".

Not a rant specifically at you LoDown but god damn.
Right, playing my sister, either one of them are lucky to even figure out how to fire on a FPS let alone counter on a fighting game. I can beat just about everyone I used play DoA with regularly, except the one friend that has 95% of his button presses as counters. But if that and over exaggerated boob physics are your thing, then have at it.

No since all they are fixing is the save file from the game if the system was mailed and not an SD card. Only way this would occur is if someone is unable to buy or get an SD card but wants the fix.

It hasn't been documented so far that the save file also corrupts the Wii but I would assume if it did occur then Nintendo would replace the Wii with a new one.

BigDaddyCool 09-27-2010 05:38 PM
I don't have that game because I never like Metroid.

This is a DOA problem how?

Stop being predictable. Itagaki closed the counter window a few times over the course of DOA4 and made mid-counters two separate directions. If counter-spam beats you like that it ain't the mechanics doing you in, trust me.

Countering 95% of the time just wouldn't fly where I'm from. I don't think it would fly amongst a TPWW inv.

I have to agree with this. Countering is a bitch in DOA4. Worse still if you want to do any of the high damage, complicated ones. Plus the game i too fast paced now to be able to stand there hitting counters all day. Plus you could just throw him.

And in general fighting games are plagued with elitists claiming everything is scrub shit. Is it my fault that you jump in to the position a person needs to be in to get hit by an anti-air ultra in SSF4? Oh well, scrub a dub dub, that's your ass in the tub.

NBA Elite 11 vs NBA 2k11 ends with EA indefinitely delaying Elite 11. Bad reactions from the demo and realizing nobody wanted Elite but wanted NBA Jam contributed to the decision.

Previous free gimped version of NBA Jam for Xbox 360 and PS3 is now a paid stand alone title but no word on if its for XBLA/PSN or disc-based.

Basically EA goofed up badly since now there is no reason to pay $50 for the Wii version of NBA Jam with no online, NBA Jam for Xbox 360 and PS3 won't be free anymore with a price range between $15 - $60, and rebranding the Live series into the Elite series became a failure this year.

Only good news is NBA Live 10 to get an extra year or roster updates and Dynamic DNA mode for free.

If the 360 and PS3 versions have no offline multiplayer still, I'm getting the Wii one.

Good move by EA to delay a game that isn't up to scratch. I applaud them for that.

The demo for Elite came out today and I tried and didn't like it but loved...the idea of it. I guess.

The presentation is ESPN style so that will blow 2K out of the water, no doubt. Wish 2K could cut a deal with TNT but I think that other shitty game has a deal with them. Anyway, I always love TV-Style broadcasts in games and it looks like Elite will have the leg up on 2K. No biggie.

The controls... are different. Obviously. I think I love it but I dunno. I was a big MLL (Lacrosse...lol) fan a few years back when Arizona actually had a team. Tickets were on the cheap and our team was actually good and the games were fun to go to. I always wondered what a true game would be like and to have movement of the player with the LS and movement of the stick with the RS. This seemed so simple and a no brainer. Basically, what the NHL franchise has done the past couple of years. There is an indy LAX game, but it's pretty terrible. I'm getting off the point.

I loved the idea of controlling the player with two thumbsticks rather than buttons. So I was really psyched to try this out. But for me, it doesn't work. Not the controls themselves, but the presentation of the game. I think if you take away the sideline camera angle you lose a lot of feel to the game.

I think it was an extremely ballsy move by EA to go to a drop down camera and thumbstick controls. Really ballsy. There will be a lot of backlash (mostly from black people whose screen names are YoUnGjEeZy, GhostKillllA, oOX smoke XOo, etc) and it will be interesting to see how this is played out.

So, I'm giving a lot of credit to EA for doing this, but I don't think it will work. And besides, even if they did switch back to buttons, they STILL have the inferior game. I'm not bagging on the controls. I love them and can't wait to see how EA can expand with them. But it's still not as good as 2K

It takes some extreme balls to completely rehaul a sports like they did. Especially without any feedback from the community first.

Bobby Kotick, always good to laugh at. Here's what he's been talking out his arse about this week so far.

On ex-Inifinty Ward staff

Quote:
"It shook my belief in two specific people, who were my friends," says Kotick, who says the IW founders used Activision for personal gain. "The frustrating thing about that is, the stuff that these guys did, I never would have expected them to do. We're a public company, we've got ethics obligations, and the things they did were ... I would go to jail if I did them.

"You can't use the company and the company's assets for your own personal benefit, and you can't use the leverage that you might have for personal benefit -- you're not allowed to do that! And so we didn't have any choice ...*That's one of those really difficult decisions as the CEO of a company, where you step back and say, 'No good is going to come of this. They're going to leave and probably have a really hard time ever being productive or successful ever again, and we're going to lose some talented people, and there's nothing we can do about it.' And there wasn't."
It is unfortunate that the laws of the land don't apply to ex-IW staff, but would be used harshly against Kotick. I'd put him on prison if I were a lawmaker.

Pretty sure that a Respawn game published by EA will be successful anyway. Speaking of EA:

Quote:
"Look, EA has a lot of resources, it’s a big company that’s been in business for a long time, maybe it’ll figure it out eventually," says the fire-kissed despair merchant. "But it’s been struggling for a really long time. The most difficult challenge it faces today is: great people don’t really want to work there.

"It’s like, if you have no other option, you might consider them ... But we have no shortage of opportunity to recruit out of EA -- that’s their biggest challenge: its stock options have no value. It’s lost its way. And until it has success, and hits, and gets that enthusiasm back for the company, it’s going to have a struggle getting really talented people, which is going to translate into less-than-great games."
What? Yeah, EA are the last resort when Activision has looked at your idea and pissed all over it. Isn't that how Brutal Legend got published by EA? Tim Schafer did call Kotick a prick ages ago. Koticks rebuttal?

Quote:
"Tim Schafer. The guy comes out and says I'm a prick. I've never met him in my life -- I've never had anything to do with him," explains the nefarious businessman.*"I never had any involvement in the Vivendi project that they were doing, Brütal Legend, other than I was in one meeting where the guys looked at it and said, 'He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.

"And do you know what? That seemed like a sensible thing to do. And it turns out, he was late, he missed every milestone, the game was not a particularly good game ..."
He does have a point on that one, but he did also prove Schafer right by answering him like a prick. So, anything positive? He does seem keen on motion control. Hooray?

Quote:
Kotick told Edge: "So as long as we think a peripheral is going to deliver something that’s compelling and interesting and innovative we’ll support it." He feels that both Move and Kinect are "superb" for dance games, and has been impressed with both motion controllers.

That said, Kotick still feels the need for specific types of physical interfacing for their games, and it sounds like they have a few more up their sleeves. He says that "we’re going to keep making physical interface products if we think that’s going to enhance the experience - and we have some really cool ones for next year."

As enthusiastic as he sounds about Sony and Microsoft's newest offerings, he does have one beef with Kinect: the price. Kotick told Edge in issue 220, "With Kinect… I love it as an idea, but [Microsoft has] got to get the price down."
Hmm, shouldn't have ended on such a sane note.

New details and screens released for Resistance 3.

Based on screens and video, most of the enemy and character models have been changed but not as drastic as was first expected when the studio said they were rehauling the visuals for the franchise.

Quote:
And what of the new protagonist? The screenshots call him Capelli, which makes him Joseph Evan Capelli, Nathan Hale's squadmate and helper of sorts from Resistance 2. It looks like Capelli will be taking up the fight where Nathan left off at the end of the last game.
The game is still set for a late 2011 release date.

More bad news for NBA Elite since analysts were only predicting about 1.5 million copies sold combined between Xbox 360, PSP, and PS3 with about a third of the sales comming due to the NBA Jam bonus and not the game itself.

To put that number in perspective, the NBA 2k series sells about twice the amount per console than NBA Live does and last year's 2k10 sales alone on the Xbox 360 was more than what NBA Elite combined sales were being predicted.

EA also goofed up badly by not making NBA Live 10 for the Wii since NBA 2k10 managed to sell 3x more than NBA Live 09 did and it was the 1st time the 2k series went on the Wii.

Quote:
Further, NCAA Basketball 10 had no direct competitor, unlike NBA Elite. "Once somebody switches over to NBA 2K, they are less likely to switch back, and EA risks losing them forever," Pachter noted. Wedbush Securities predicted sales of 1.1 million units for NBA Elite between now and the end of December, and another 550,000 between January and March 31. All of that could be wiped out by a delay or cancellation.

At the Nintendo press conference in Tokyo today, before turning things towards the new 3DS handheld console, company president Satoru Iwata took time out to mention the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.

While we already knew there would be a special Super Mario Collection coming to the Wii on October 21, Iwata also announced a new DSi LL (known as the DSi XL outside Japan) would be released to futher commemorate all things Mario.

As seen above via Nintendo's offical website, the new model is a deep red and includes images of a Super Mushroom, a Fire Flower and a Starman but not Mario himself.

The new "Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary" version will go sale in Japan on October 28th for 18,000 Yen, $214 at current exchange rates and the standard price for the Nintendo DSi LL.

---
If they released this here and it came with a Super Mario All-Stars cart, I'd buy it.

Harada tweets another shot of his teammate with a mention of Soulcalibur:

That's the second in so much time. I previously assumed that a new Soulcalibur would be prioritized after Harada's two Tekken games but I'm starting to believe something is brewing with the Tale of Souls and Swords.
