Pirates remove any copy protection anyways so it's only a bother for the person who actually buys the game. I'm quite happy with Steam although I'm not sure what kind of security it uses besides login.

Ergonomics gone with the wind LOL

Lately I've been quite afraid of buying chinese plastic containers. Some have such high concentrations of lead (according to some news) that I'm afraid to use them with food. I wonder if I'm just being paranoid though?

Nice, wish I could draw more than stick figures.

Long live Chuck Norris! Chuck Norris doesn't age, 70 years is just a measure of how long he's been kicking ass.

Imagine using something like that for Excitebots! Madness!

The game is not very good. But the review has a point. It's the first Castlevania to attempt what we now know as Metroidvania games. We at least have to give this game credit for that. I wonder if anyone will make a hack with a change in the dialogue that will make more sense than the crap that is said by the NPCs.

1. Super Metroid 2. Sonic the Hedgehog (I, II, III) 3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 4. Donkey Kong Country (I, II, III) 5. Final Fantasy IV

No way! I didn't know about it until your post I'm shocked

I saw some of those games at the House on the Rock in Wisconsin. Man those were awesome. The care to make them and all mechanical. Very nice stuff.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GC) Splatter House (TG16) Silent Hill (PS) Fatal Frame (Xbox) Resident Evil (Any) The Uninvited (Nes)

I posted this in another forum but it's something that is bothering me so I want to post it here too. Lately I've been reading on different sites about how the Wii is weak and it's a casual game console. That the Xbox360 and PS3 are the real gamers console. Graphics this, graphics that. Why is it that games like Gears of War, Halo, and all the other spawns of the same style are "gamer" games? Too be honest along with sports it's the least type of game I like to play. I think the Wii is great, I think the Xbox360 is great and the PS3 is also great. I only own a Wii but thinking about buying a PS3. The Wii is great because it let's me relieve what I played back in the old days. That's what I like about it. I like to play all my Mario and Zelda games on the same console and be able to pick them from a nice channel menu. All of them lined up in chronological order. This all comes to my story in gaming. I've been gaming since I could hold a controller. I played Pac-Man, Asteroids, Phoenix, Space Invaders, Chopper to death on the Atari 2600. Then the Nes came along and played Mario, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Mega Man, The Legend of Zelda. Then I had to own a Genesis and get back into fighters, shooters and of course Sonic and Phantasy Star. We were not very wealthy so my Genesis was second hand and back then I always dreamed of owning a Turbo Grafx 16 or a Neo Geo. Then the Super Nintendo came along and I couldn't stay behind. Street Fighter, Donkey Kong Country, Mario World, F-Zero and of course Final Fantasy, and the other epic jrpgs. This kept up with the next generations while playing also everything good on the PC like Diablo, Ultima, Star Craft and all the fun RPGs. Being short on cash I would have to sell to be able to move forward. Something I consider a stupid move now but back then it made sense. So then I learned that Nintendo was releasing a new console called the Wii and it was not going to be very powerful, but then I heard the magic words "Virtual Console" and Game Cube play. I could now get all those games on one console. And now that I have a bit more money, not much but a little more, I want all of it back. So why am I telling you guys all this? Because after many forum threads and posts by people in Kotaku, Destructoid and other "gaming" sites. I came to the conclusion that to the new kids on the block I'm not a "gamer" I'm not a gamer because I own a casual console. Because I don't think Halo is the pinnacle of gaming. Because even though I appreciate the art in graphics I don't buy a game based on it. Because I could care less that the Xbox360 has a xx Ghz CPU, the PS3 a cell thingy and the Wii a mouse on a wheel. I know what they have, the specs, because I like games but it doesn't affect my gaming decisions. I'm not a gamer because I think the Dreamcast is one of the best consoles ever released even though it didn't stand a chance, but in my house it's right next to the Wii. I do not know now what I am, but I know that I'm not a what is no days known as a "gamer". I will buy a PS3 not because it's more powerful than what I own now, but because there are now games that I consider good enough to make the purchase worthwhile. I might be wrong but the only synonym I can find to what I consider people call a "gamer" is just a fanboy and I think most of us here that have been there done that are anything but a fanboy. So let's find a new name to what we are because we are more than just "gamers". PS I wanted to get my point across so I posted this same thing somewhere else

All the Phantasy Star games

Harvest Moon 2 GBC Long game, tedious but addictive.

I'm sure Nintendo has some sort of agreement with third parties to ensure that their games are not pirated or that Nintendo does it's best to stop such piracy in their consoles. I wouldn't develop games for a console that was easy to pirate for. No money in that. And most companies are business, they are there to make money. So I would be pushing Nintendo to do what it can to stop it.

Mine worked fine. It is doing it to the ones that have certain homebrew installed. Not all homebrew just some of them. If people can "read" they will see that Nintendo gives a warning that updating a modded console can cause it to malfunction. And that you should update only if your console is unmodded. Edit: I take what I've said back. The update can brick any Wii. It updates boot2, but the code is faulty and if for some strange reason the process doesn't write properly your Wii will no longer boot. It can happen with a modded or unmodded Wii. And Nintendo will only cover the cost of repair if your Wii is still under warranty and contains no mods. Which sucks.

Well for the Wii you just need a Game Cube adapter and you're set, just hook up your favorite classic controller

On another thing the Wii runs N64 games at 640x480 when the N64 ran them at 320 x 240, Ocarina of time and Mario 64 are a clear example. Article Also the composite output makes it really nice like I mentioned it before. There are many reasons to say emulators are better, but it's just not the same. There's something different when playing on the computer than an actual console. The Wii also saves your progress on most of the consoles even if the feature was not available at the time it was released. So if you take original consoles vs vc there is an improvement.

When you get into work and normal after college life you start to wish you had the time you had in college. :(

Reasons: You can delete and download again anything you have already bought. You can back them up on sd cards. I owned these games at some point in my life but I don't anymore so the Wii does a great job. Graphics look sharper. Everything is in a console no need to power up a pc or configure an emu. You can actually say you own the games. It's great at parties, emus are still sorta awkward to some people. Love the look of the channels lined up with series like Zelda. The prices are not very high on some games that extremely expensive in their original forms.

Hahahaha that's awesome I wish they would have shown all the way to Koopa.

Thanks for the link I'm voting Samus cause shes hot.

I could never get anywhere in this game. It would cheap shot you every chance it had.

He said "blow" and "wad" hehe hehe hehe

I just remember how frustrating the first game for the NES could get. Didn't play anything with the gauntlet name ever again.
