YES!!

[EdenMaster]

YE....uh, what?

[A Black Falcon]

At least they gave it a corny-sounding name, but I doubt that'll have any impact on the game's actual quality... :)

[Sacred Jellybean]

How many people will be turned off by its campy name/premise? As long as the game rocks, though, word-of-mouth will likely allow it to prevail.

I need to get a Wii around my birthday.

[A Black Falcon]

The game is terrible, so the campy name is the only thing that might save it... :)

[Sacred Jellybean]

Confirmed to be terrible? Damn, sounded like it had potential. Oh well.

Clearly SJ has not seen any pictures from this game yet.

[A Black Falcon]

Probably so, yeah... :D

(so: N64 quality graphics, or Dreamcast?)

[Great Rumbler]

Anyone that thinks the N64 could do something even that bad [by today's standards] is fooling themselves. It is, at best, mid-range Dreamcast. Maybe.

I'd like to say that the bottom one especially applies to me. My insane tiled floor rules involve legal moves a knight can make in chess, and for an especially fun time, try figuring out not just technically legal but if it is possible, based on where a knight might be placed at a "starting location" and your current location to determine how to move from there.

The graham's number thing terrifies me... Let me put it this way. Those of you thinking about how big a "googol" is and how the universe may actually DIE OUT before we ever reach a googolPLEX (counting a number per second) are thinking PATHETICALLY TOO SMALL.

I'll give you that its texture quality is above N64 levels, but the poly count? It could have been done...

... Remember, some DC games also came out on the N64 -- Rayman 2, Rush 2049, Hydro Thunder, Gauntlet Legends, etc... most of those were released on PSX also, but not all (and anyway, the N64 versions looked better). Rush 2049-N64 looks surprisingly close to Rush 2049-GC (that is, the abysmal Midway Arcade Treasures 3 port of the DC version on Gamecube), I thought, after getting MAT3...
