Man I wish Nintendo was not wasting time with DS Zeldas so the Wii one could come out faster. Or if they were gonna do DS Zelda's, at least make them 2D. Cramming WW art into Phantom Hourglass is a disservice to the DS and the artstyle itself.

MJ tops the Billboard charts and smashes records. Again. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/michael-jackson-breaks-billboard-charts-1003989310.story Amazing, especially in this age of piracy.

I mean, they "care" in the sense that they will arbitrarily lift things from older games to play up the nostalgic effect. Wind Waker did this skilfully with the descent into frozen Hyrule, my personal favorite moment in any Zelda. Twilight Princess did it pretty egregiously throughout, in a...

No Navi please. It would be better if Nintendo focused on original themes instead of trying to steal even more things from Ocarina of Time. (replaying that right now btw. Still amazing.) EDIT: And Nintendo could not care less about a Zelda timeline. They've proved that very well for two games...

Anybody watching The Championships at the All England Tennis Club? I actually have the good fortune to be going this year! I'll be in England for the month of July and realized it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (note my location). I am going on Championship Sunday, hoping to buy a...

This game is addicting as hell. I started out shooting +14 or something terrible, but I've played quite a few rounds and my last round was even par. I was kicking *** at the British course where the British Open is going to be this year, but it was a match play tournament (which I won). Only...

This game looks AMAZING. And this thread needs more videos! God on a skateboard with a shotgun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3HXgvl8lp0 God vs. Kraken: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3HXgvl8lp0 This seems like one of those games with limitless possibilities. There's 220 levels, a sandbox...

I don't think either Natal or Sony's solution will be able to make a significant impact in the short term. Wii is already in 50 million+ homes. The number will probably be 75 million+ by the time competing motion controls are released. What will compel developers to produce content for a...

Word. It's interesting how totally complacent Nintendo is. You look at the first year of Wii and the first 2-2.5 years of DS and they were just firing on all cylinders releasing all kinds of great stuff. But now it seems they're just willing to totally fail the core market on both platforms...

Mario Galaxy = Game of the Century? Yeah, pretty much. http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/12985

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but buying Punch-Out is probably the best way you could ever spend five dollars. Easily my most satisfying purchase. I actually find that I regret a lot of my purchases right after I make them. For instance, I got A Link to the Past when it came out...

Downloaded Super Mario Bros. and Link to the Past tonight. Skeet! Looks like VC is going to start picking up in a big way. I'll probably get something else that I've never played before, maybe Castlevania or R-Type III. Any suggestions?

Nothing came out yesterday except Baseball and Urban Champion for NES. -_- Nintendo has to run out of ****ty NES games eventually...

Like Rockettrainer said, the games go on the internal memory. To give you soem perspective, the memory is divided into about 2100-2200 blocks. Mario 64 takes up 90 blocks and Gunstar Heroes (Genesis) takes up like 25. The saves for most games, VC and Wii, take up one or two blocks. So you'll be...

I am itching to talk about Virtual Console releases, but the official Wii thread is much too unwieldly for a sustained discussion. So I bring you...the Official Wii Virtual Console Thread (TM)! I just thought it would be a good idea to get some discussion going on these classics so people don't...
