Also, I would buy a game if I really really really wanted the experience of playing it on a TV, like say Earthbound, but I was promised that last week and I don't see it anywhere.

I like the news channel, though!

If you have a Hollywood Video anywhere around there's usually a GameCrazy attached to those. I tend to have better luck with them. If you have a Babbage's or an EBGames, same thing.

the remote interacts with infrared light, so make sure you don't have a big lamp or something right in front of the tv.

also, what the fuck is your point now? my CD-i can play TONS of games that you can't play on either PC or Wii! Clearly THAT is the superior system!

My point is fuck the virtual console because it's filled with games I can get for free

What games do you have for Wii, GW?

Also, what, in your opinion, should Nintendo have done with the Virtual Console? Re-release everything in their library for free download on their servers?

Twilight Princess :rolleyes

If you want a new game but don't have the money go sell your gamecube since your Wii can play the same games. That'll give you at least probably 30 dollars depending on where you sell it.

I'm just having a hard time figuring out who thinks $5 is an outrageous amount of money for anything

When the alternative is free it is I guess

Realistically though it's a lot cheaper and a lot more reliable than going out and buying an SNES and a hard copy of Earthbound :<

WHATEVER YOU DO GW DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE EVERYBODY VOTES CHANNEL IT MIGHT BE FREE BUT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE 800 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY AND A SNACK :eek

Someone who is not a big boy with a big boy job like you, jerk

Also, I have Wii Sports and Wii Play. I got it for the extra controller so don't give me that look, you gay

What is the everybody votes channel? Is it at least better than that freebie MP3 thing which did not even give me a demo so I could see if I like it?

Well jeez, no wonder. Those are the two gimmickiest games on the Wii.

Yeah, honestly I'd rather just have the games there on my wii channel where it's much easier for me to drop in and play a few things real quick using the same controller. The PC keyboard feels like a dick when you're playing anything retro (unless your only knowledge of consoles prior to the PS2 consists of roms, i guess), and you can download and re-download the games all you want from now on (like on steam).

And also spend your weekly allowance on any of the games I just mentioned and you'll like your game system a lot better, now that you'll have games to play on it.

SHIT, MY INBOX IS SUDDENLY FILLING UP WITH NINTENDO TELLING ME SHIT I ALREADY KNEW

HOW DO I GET RID OF IT

I use this for my PC gaming:

Shaped like and functions like a PS1 controller and is perfectly responsive. It also works with every emulator in the universe. So I get the full gaming experience.

The reason my library sucks so bad is because my dad bought it with no knowledge that I wanted MP3 really really bad, and because it came with an extra controller. HIS FAULT

And I have a gamepad for my emulation purposes, too.

you are the most spoiled kid ever ;<

says YOU, I bought all my PC crap >:

I bet he bought you another nunchuck, too :rolleyes

DID YOU KNOW IT WAS AN AVERAGE OF 62 DEGREES AND CLOUDY IN PORTLAND TODAY WITH A SOUTHWEST WIND OF 17 MILES PER HOUR

Haha, this console is all right guys

It still needs better games, though

Wait til after Smash Bros. is out. Then we'll start seeing the gold.
