Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire US Release Date

JTex · December 5th, 2002

Nintendo has recently announced the North American release date for the newest games in Game Freak's flagship series, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, is March 17, 2003. One week before The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker's US release.

Ninjaa · December 5th, 2002

Blast. Why does everything always have to come out all at once? Do they think I am made of money?

Gamer1 · December 6th, 2002

man, i never get games the first week of release... i wait until i tested out the game and i know that it is good and if its on sale...

i'm such a penny pincher.... aka cheap b@st@rd.

I buy the games I know that I will want right away. The rest I usually give a rental.

I bought Rogue Leader, Eternal Darkness, Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil 0, and Metroid Prime in the first week of their launch.

Gamer1 · December 6th, 2002

i bought my cube in a smash bro. package for only $150 at target.

its probably one of the reasons my gf and i broke up... i'm a cheap b@st@rd. And i don't spend much money for myself anyway and that bothered her somehow...

also one of the reason why i like amd procs better than intel's. AMD performs better and its cheaper.

I'll probably get the pokemon games once its $20 or $15... hmmmm... now i'm thinking of getting it used....

same goes for most of my games

i bought (used) ZOE for $15
(new) onimusha for $20
(new) onimusha 2 for $35
and just guess the rest of my game collection on how much i paid for them....

Nintendo will not stop milking out Pokémon period.

And as for Pokèmon in general it gets very repetitve and due to that lags fun IMO.

The idea of it was fun at first, just all the stupid sounds and looks of the dumb things made it stupid.

LMFAO! Great reasons Reichfuher. I am going to have to remember that one.

RF · December 6th, 2002

I also noticed that all thoes shows: pokemon,digimon,ugioh, whatever it may be, the main characters always win. EXCEPT when they are about to be the best p0kedude in the whole world because then the show would have to end....

i dont think gamer1's gf brought up with him cuz he doesnt treat himself, i think its becuz u didnt spend enough money on her. buying games when the price is low isnt cheap. its cuz u dont wanna waste ur money when u can buy it for a cheaper price (i know these things

)
as for ruby n sapphire, i think its gonna be like the rest of the pokemon games. the first 2 was good but it gets too repetitive...

Heh. You know I can say that about TFC and CS too right?

Gamer1 · December 7th, 2002

I became a penny pincher at the age of 14, why... i had to get money for dates

. I spent 5 times more money on her everytime i was with her than what i treat myself in one week. believe me... i didn't spend enough money on her... i spend alot of money on her...

I'm a cheap b@st@rd for myself only... not anyone else. At least i got alot in returns

, if you know what i mean....

What i think bothered her is that i don't think of myself or something... and maybe my hatred towards rap, and i'm really into computers.

only a few people know that i'm a closet geek (my facade at school is just too great to penetrate through for them to even to think that i'm a nerd)... heck she didn't even know i knew how to work a computer. and i'm ever so closer to getting my CCNA certificate (Cisco Certified Network Administrator certification, hey... i gotta have backup jobs if i don't get a job as an Electical Engineer)

god, i gotta stop dumping my life story...
--------------------------------------

I am really intersted in the new pokemon... on the pictures that i saw, it looked liked you could control two pokemons at the same time... Very very interesting....

and on the repetitive part... i don't think so... look at the other games and see what repetitive really is...

list:
Megaman / Rockman
Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest / Dragon Warrior
Resident Evil
Gran Turismo (i still see no drastic difference in this series in every game)
any Sports game series...

LMFAO!!!! That's pretty bad when you can't figure out how to play Pokemon. I always wondered about you shahzaib, but now I know for sure.

I am going to be laughing about this one for years.

au contrair,

I can say that about mario games and Resident evil games. Even smash bros melee.

But that about sums up every game ever made so...
