Erm too hard to say really. Out of the games I had back then for both consoles, I would have to say that the SNES edges it with games like Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, SM All Stars, Super Star Wars, Zelda and Mario Kart, but Megadrive was also amazing: I had a Sonic compilation with sonics 1 & 2 and mean bean machine, columns, italia 90, ms Pac-man. Ah... great times.

It won't be on until 9/10 pm American time, so it will be availabe to us Brits to download at something like 3am I guess.

That's a pretty stupid logic if you don't mind me saying. So it's gonna get a -4 reduction because of graphics? If you used that scoring system for every game, we would see games getting minus scores :P.

The other day he told me to: "stop resting me" :awesome: before throwing the controller at the TV. However, throwing controllers doesn't break them at all since they're very durable. Controllers only break internally. Out of 5 controllers, only 1 is still left (3 were 3rd party though). 3 out of those 4 broke because the joysticks screwed up: this is mainly because of smash bros and timesplitters. Constantly "tapping" the joysticks doesn't help them one bit, which must be done while playing smash.

People here are overrating Futurama. Don't get me wrong, I love the show but better than The Simpsons? No. Imo South Park is the greatest cartoon ever, but something that controversial would never have been put number one.

Resi 4 any good? And Smash Bros.

With a cigerette in his mouth.

I'd love it, but it would involve some kind of joystick attachment (smash just does not work with a d-pad).

Maybe someone might develop a freeloader, but for VC games. You could then "import" the VC game by buying an SD card with the NTSC game saved on it through ebay. Just an idea though. How about you buy the games you don't have. VC is an opportunity for people to play games they didn't get during that generation: I'm pretty sure you don't own the entire PAL N64 game library. And what if your NES/SNES is broken? VC steps in.

Nintendo are hoping that this will be wii's Nintendogs or Brain Training but I just don't think it will be very good at all. But who knows? Maybe the casuals will love it.

I think old classic simpsons was better than futurama, but now yeah, futurama is way better. Its definately not number 1 though, South Park and Family Guy are way better. And Tom and Jerry deserves to be be where it is. As a kid, it's probably my most watched cartoon after Dragonball z and Pokemon.

I know this is gonna be hilarious. Remember the PSP episode? Had me in stitches...

This was shown like... 2 years ago?

Some people may disagree with me, but I'm all for clones of existing characters. Imagine Wigglytuff: a fatter, slower but insanely more powerful jigglypuff, like ganon but with 5 jumps.

I would have thought 512MB of internal flash would be plenty anyway. Aren't n64 games 32MB? So it would take 16 n64 games to fill it. I can't see anyone downloading that many (in the first year anyway).

I'm very pleased by this news. Friend codes on DS are such a hassle, I just didn't end up bothering but this looks set to change with wii.

Ouch. At least it wasn't one of the better final fantasys.

I don't like the fact that there will be other NPC characters in the game. What I loved about prime was the immense sense of isolation, which I don't want ruined by whiney American voice-acting.

I don't remember entering this! Oh well... can I vote for myself so it isn't a complete whitewash?

The wii has a lot more features than people expected, so it definately seems worth the £180 pricetag. Now if I could only say the same for the controller...

Yeah I'm hoping for Chrono Trigger. Apparently it's quite good (hints The Bard).

Agreed. I mean it's such an amazing game, I couldn't believe all the negative responses this game was getting. I initially thought it ws even better than Mario 64 (but in hindsight I've reconsidered), quality platforming all the way through. I will mainly remember my cube thanks to it multiplayer moments. It was far and away one of the best ever consoles for multiplayer. Timesplitters 2, Mario Kart, F-Zero and Mario Tennis kept me and my mates going for ages. And don't even get me started on Smash Bros...

I only plan on trading in one of my gamecubes (I have two) so I'll still have one to put on the shelf smash bros stylee. If trading in one of my gamecubes means money off my wii I'm all for it.

Didn't Kojima beg nintendo to put snake in smash bros and not the other way round? Well that's what I heard.

So yeah, I thinking about just waiting til after launch and trading in one of my gamecubes for a wii at a reduced price, since I will have no use for them anymore. Do you think many stores will do this since they've basically stopped retailing any gamecube hardware/software? So basically do you think I should pre-order now or wait to get a better deal?
