WHAT'S THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NINTENDOGS AND POKEMON/DIGIMON OTHER THAN BATTLES ???


What Ric said. Digimon and Pokemon games bear no resemblence whatsoever anyway, and neither of them are like Nintendogs.

Unfortunally no, no canine sadism. That was the first question I asked, when I saw someone playing Nintendogs. Maybe I'm not too well in the head, eh...?

I'm a Sega fan, and I finally decided to buy an X-Box at the start of this year. Me and my mates have been playing Halo weekly for the last few years, and I finally caved in after KOTOR II came out for it. Bought my X-Box with Halo and KOTOR II - played through KOTOR II EIGHT TIMES and loved it. Now I have around 15 games for it, all of which I had the benefit of hindsight in knowing they were good. I am thinking very seriously about getting a Gamecube too, because they are small, inexpensive, and have tonnes of innovative and fun games.

Anybody get Metroid 2 yet?


I swear, Ninja Gaiden is one of the 10 best games I've EVER played. Period. I was incredibly daunted at first, but once I made it through the first few levels, I was hooked. Finished it 3 times with all the scarabs, so now I can play the original NES Ninja Gaidens 1-3 if I feel like it.

Sounds a lot like Seaman, which came out on Dreamcast in Japan a while ago. It was apparently a bit of a hit.

You can meet other dogs from other players using the wireless system, but they don't battle or anything. It's a "dog simulator".


BUT THE DOG SHOW COMPETITIONS COULD BE CONSIDERED "BATTLES."

Well, in a way, I guess. I don't know exactly how the dog show's work, but I know you can only go to a limited number before your dog get's too tired and has to wait a while. It's not like fighting opponenets to win fame or money like in Pokemon.

I have a question. In the Pokemon world, there are no animals, right? All they have is Pokemons. And Pokemons are clearly self-conscious and inteligent creatures, able to comunicate (in their own way, although some can speak as humans). Right? OK. Now, the people in that world, they are either ALL vegetarians... or they do slaughter some Pikachus or Jigglypufs or Bulbasaurs every now and then and eat those! And that's so cruel, because those are conscious beings, like regular people!
