360's were really hard to find, for months. I think I got mine in February or March of 2006 (it came out in Nov 2005 if memory serves), and I had to buy a Sam's Club membership just to get it.slopeslider said:

Think of it this way, you are developing a fighting game, you've got one month until launch, which do you spend your last days on: making sure the game runs at a solid framerate so the gameplay is perfectly ported, or making sure a couple guys in the background are accurately shaking their fists? Gameplay trumps stupid things like animated characters in the background any day. And by making them non-animated, they could get away with only using one or two polygons each, so they didn't negatively affect the game's performance.daakusedo said:

Believe!
Oh, another Dreamwriter post! Should be fun to read!Dreamwriter said:Think of it this way, you are developing a fighting game, you've got one month until launch, which do you spend your last days on: making sure the game runs at a solid framerate so the gameplay is perfectly ported, or making sure a couple guys in the background are accurately shaking their fists?

All reports are that the gameplay *is* perfect, that the game's got solid online play that just works without any hassle or excessive lag, and is packed full of features. It's by far the most complete and polished third-party launch title. I think most people would be willing to sacrifice a few animated elephants for that

Good to hear you guys are okay over there. Godspeed y'all.Cheesemeister said:
I will admit, it's hilarious fighting in 3D mode next to a hippo with its gaping mouth open the whole time.Boney said:

Jolly OS? Sounds good!FoxHimself said:
A new trading sequence acutally sounds reasonable. The game also seems to already be using every feature of the system EXCEPT StreetPass (well, and the camera...WAIT! Maybe there will be a camera in Oot?Father_Brain said:
)The way Miyamoto said that there was new stuff in the Iwata Asks sounds a little too suspicious to be just the camera stuff.
