Seeing as I'm bored

I'm going to start posting random facts about Videogaming in general until i get bored again XD Every wednesday I'm going to post up 5 facts... (Maybe this'll be a good thing to have on the main site )

1. The Metroid series was the only flagship Nintendo title NOT to appear on the N64. It also has the longest time between a series being developed, with Super Metroid in 1994, and Metroid Prime in 2002.

2. The ending of Metal gear Solid (PSOne, and Metal Gear Solid: Twisted Snakes the remake on GC) is the longest FMV sequence in any videogame. It lasts an incredible 15 minutes.

3. The original Half Life is the best selling FPS of all time, with over 8 million copies sold.

4. The Crash Bandicoot series of games is the most successful non-Japanese made game in Japan.

5. Command and Conquer is not only the longest running, but also the biggest selling RTS game ever produced. 6 full games and 7 expansions are the reasons for its success.

There you go! 5 mroe facts next wednesday!

With a little help for the gamers edition of GBOR?

Heres a few facts of my own

1. Did you know SSBB is going to be the greatest game in history?
2. Europe are getting MKWII before US or Japan (EAT THAT B**ches!!!) with release date being 11th April 2008 (REJOICE)

This actually looks pretty fun!

The entire Half Life franchise, has, according to Wiki, sold over 15million copies!

Adding to the CnC thing, according to wikipedia, RA1 is the best selling RTS of all time (with 12 million copies sold), and sold over half the totals sales of all "2D" (pre Generals) CnC sales. RA rules! Bring on RA3!

Halo was originally an RTS for the Mac.

Also, ash, your 1 is opinion, not fact, lets not turn this into a flame war about it... xP

MKWII = Mario Kart Wii?

NO not opinion fact you know its true!
and also yes MKWII does mean Mario Kart Wii

Ash, just take it as opinion otherwise it's waaaay too much of a flamebait... I really can't can't be bothered to deal with another "this game is the best ever" argument.

I haven't actually seen Much about MKWii, I'll have to look it up later.

super smash games look boring, whats so good about it?

Japan get it on the 10th April.

Japan get everything first! Though we seem to get it over 2 weeks before NA, which is pretty good.

Anyway, this is menat ot be random facts, if you want to talk bout MKWii, you could create a topic for it!

Ok we get it before US. Thats two we got now

and to Skillers: It.was.a.joke Get a sense of humour

get a sense of humour. FACT

stat owned ^^

Ash, I'd already deleted one post that was a flame in response to your post. as I said, it's a flamebait, and I don't want a flamewar, though it seems you're going to flame me anyway for trying to keep peace

lol i wasnt flaming, it was a joke ^^

You were flaming, and the overall tone would easily start a flamewar.

Back on topic, perhaps?

well its not wednesday so we cant post random facts

and i think i no when im flaming

Well then discuss the facts posted on Wednesday, then. And it was flaming, well certainly read like it, but that discussion is over now...

Does anyone know why there were no N64 metroid games? I would guess that Ninty didn't originally have plans for a 3D version.

ok i turn on my comp and hl2 has installed itself, fact. how the hell did it manage that :O

Because it was already there? Or because Steam had been downloading itself?

it wasnt already there, i uninstalled it, and i would notice it dl it again. wtf is going on !!!! (MI5 r in my house :O)

Stop posting crap that isnt interesting here... :/ yes its flaming but I dont care, its pointless Spam..

I'm not a mod so I cant remove it... Wish I could...

Stick to the thread at hand for f***ing once, please.

Skillers, Nintendo had no plans for more Metroid Games. It ws only due to popular demand that the Metroid prime series was even considered.

~~ Please do not flame, especially since you know it as such. Two warnings. Next time it will be a ban, I want to see this kept as a friendly atmosphere- Met.

Ah, that's kinda what I thought. Wonder why they didn't want to bring it back :/

Fact: Mario has appeared in over 200 games! (Wiki again). He should really be a bit worn out by now!

Wheres the ones for this week?

Yeah, I was just thinking that (when I saw this thread).

Fact: Weekly threads are never weekly

OK, then it can be funky Friday!

Only because I feel funky, not because I am going to say something funky.

forgot :/

Didnt have time tbh :/ making wind tunnel and shiz like that XD Ill put them up later

AND STOP WITH THE GOD FUCKING SPAM!

Ah, should be interesting...

Fun Fact Friday? Alliteration FTW (seriously, half the names of things which are day of the week based use alliteration)!
