From what I hear a lot of the same hacks that plagued the first game still work here, like deleting another player's data or freezing their game.

I was thinking about playing this online with my woman on split-screen mode, but I'm kind of worried things will fall apart more quickly than they did with the first PSO. I guess I'll just have to wait and see..

Hey, does anybody know if both the Xbox and GC versions of the game are compatible?

I mean, If GC players can play with Xbox players?

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.

A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.

I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.

"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.

Surprisingly I really dont have any bad memories from playing pso ver 1 on DC (except for some loser that stole my precious double bladed light saber when I died while fighting the final boss, oh and the black screen of death, just happened once, but i knew what to do in case that happened.)
Never really encountered any hacks, except for a friendly fellow that welcomed me the first time i went online (gave me a lot of goodies, but hey maybe he was stinking rich and not a hack?

Anyway I like the split screen mode idea. Much needed on the DC.

By the way i think the XBOX community will be separated from the gamecube one, also you cant play with DC users.

The GC and Xbox versions of PSO are incompatable. Sonic Team mentions it on a recent interview at gamespot.com

Oh yeah, NCS reports that the Japanese version of PSO has a problem with "duping". Which is a bug that lets you duplicate any item in the game as many times as you want. Thus, it throws off the balance of any rare items.

There's a chance that the JPN version of PSO may be recalled, but Sonic Team is reluctant to do so just yet. I'm not sure if the "duping" problem will be present in US versions of PSO for GameCube.

Colorful language, along the lines of funk!

I sent an email to Nintendo to see if they will release that nifty ASCII controller or at least an adaptor for regular keyboards to hook on the GC.
Im expecting a "NO keyboard for YUUUUU, use canned answers!"

I would think it'd be necessary... it'd be a pain to type with the cursor. I couldn't imagine having fun back in the day... with PSO on DC without my keyboard.

The keyboard on the ASCII thing is kinda tiny, though. I used it at E3, and it was a little hard trying to hit the keys w/o hitting other ones by accident. And I have small hands. (no, I'm not a carnie)

I was thinking of getting the JPN version of the controller... heard it had hiragana symbols on it. Wonder if I could use it for US PSO GC?

CHINgado!

It should be necessary. I remember seeing a picture of the keyboard that had the GCN contoller parts on both sides. Is that what you guy were talking about when you said something about the ASCII controller?

Yeah I think i saw a picture at ign (i think) of someone actually holding the controller and noticing the small keys. I guess people would get used to the small keys if they have mo choice. I dont know maybe typing with your fingernails or something (must leave one long nail on my hand THE PSO TYPING FINGER!)

Im not a developer, but i dont think it would be too hard to get an everyday computer keyboard to work with the game cube right? Doesnt the gamecube has some sort of OS compability jibba jabba like the DC did?

Nice canned answer below. It basically answers the question of the keyboard with a sugar coated "maybe." ERRRGHHH.

information to share on announced games or other upcoming products, our web site is
the best official source!

Remember, any posted release dates are estimates and subject to change. When it
gets close to a product's estimated release date, you may want to check with your

Ok i just got the stupid keyboard shipped. Im crossing my fingers that will work with the US version of the GC PSO. And yes it also types ASCII characters so english shouldnt be a problem.

The question is, will the import ASCII controller will become an expensive paper weight?? or will it be a working device which i will use to mock people that type super slow!
