1) Pikmin was never a big hitter. At the end of the day, in spite of the Nintendo effect, it's still an RTS and its characters are not as iconic as some in Nintendo's stable.

2) Hardware variations boost sales, but won't suddenly turn an unpopular console popular

3) I think NSMB is the kind of series now that you buy once you've committed to a hardware purchase, rather than one you buy the system for. Same with DKC. Besides, the series has been mishandled by the company, mostly because they've done very little to differentiate each entry from its predecessors.

Pikmin 1 and 2 are the 10th and 11th best selling gamecube games in Japan, It's not far behind something like Resident Evil there.

point 2 and 3 are spot on. All this shows is that the Pikmin audience is mostly part of the main Nintendo audience which already picked up the system.

So, my room isn't ready. Now to wander around the city for an hour and a bit until a lunch meeting with a mate.

You stumbled on one hell of a day to wander around the city. Probably the best weather we've had in months. Shame it won't hold for the weekend

As long as there were no stabbings or decapitations then we're all good.

So which side of Beer DeLuxe are we meeting at tonight? Flinders St or on the inside square area (just checking it out now?).

 

[Rahk]

Free wi-fi in my room. Should have brought my laptop.

There's really only one side, Out the front would be an answer. People should be floating around there unless it's raining then maybe inside.

Outside should be the first place.

 

[Jintor]

I'm still in sydney domestic

god damnit

 

[Rahk]

Why'd you get there so early? What time is your flight?

 

[Jintor]

I board at 2:30 :T

I forgot that you don't need to allow for an extra two billion hours for domestic flights, since i never take them

I wish my laptop could play civ v

 

[evlcookie]

Free wi-fi in my room. Should have brought my laptop.

Should head down to south melbourne market and get some dim sims, meant to be amazing.

I don't eat em!

 

[Kritz]

Heya Melbourne

I think my group want pancakes so we're going to get pancakes now. I guess. Then beer or something.

 

[Planet_JASE]

I really hope no one tries this, or glomping, at PAX.

AusGAF attendees, you know what to do. Do not disappoint me.

Infinity + 2

Infinity + Infinity +2?

Don't start. Combustible today.

I hope your day gets better; we don't want you going off.

 

[Jables Swan]

Our group heading over tomorrow morning. Pumped for the boys trip.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Anyway, you coming to PAX?


PS. AusGAF: Should I take Monday off as well? How pissed are we expecting to get Sunday night?

Hey! PM your address so I know where to leave my car! Lol

 

[bodyboarder]

Free wi-fi in my room. Should have brought my laptop.

Hand in your nerd badge.

[reptilescorpio]

Fucking raining here in Geelong :/

Catching the 2:50pm train, hop i can jump a tram down to Flinders!

 

[markot]

Apparently Melbourne went from one of the best cities in the world to tired with Mogadishu. Wonder what happened.

So what are you guys up to?

 

[Kritz]

Did somebody not tell Melbourne it's winter? Why is it 21 degrees

 

[reptilescorpio]

Lotta radiant heat and geek sweat gets trapped down there in the dungeon

 

[Clipper]

So, I'm in ny hotel room at last. It's not that great, but it's extremely cheap, so I'm not complaining. It even has a table suitable for gaming if we want an alternate venue to the boardroom at PAX... or want to get some gaming on after Beer Deluxe .

 

[reptilescorpio]

So upstairs Beer Deluxe is the plan if it pours rain? This damn storm has chased me all the way from Warrnambool and I don't think it's going to stop :/

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

MELBOURNE TRAIN UPDATE!

One woman has been confirmed dead, with a Victoria Police spokeswoman saying a woman had died after being struck by a train between Yarraville and Seddon stations, on the Werribee line. The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
Shortly before midday another person was hit by a train on the Pakenham line between Dandenong and Berwick. All trains to the area have been suspended and bus services are being arranged, according to Metro Trains.

Don't worry, that same rain is heading in towards Melbourne. You won't be left out.

That's how Melbourne welcomes you. Nice weather on the day you arrive, piss rain and wind the rest of the week.

[Kritz]

3G in hotel is hot garbage. That's how they get me to buy wifi then...

Rez will head down to beer deluxe once my 3rd friend gets to hotel.

Also please don't hate me if when these guys drop a f/n bomb. I will warn them casual homophobia/racism is a nono.

 

[Rezbit]

Do you know what turntables look like? Like a dj? Also wearing grey jumper, sunnies on head

Kritz, not too worried about "fuck" and "numpty"

 

[Jables Swan]

How are we meant to know what you look like!

He'll be the best looking human in the place. No word of a lie.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Yo Kritz, ducky wants to know where/when the meetup is.
