    I remember in January Opera said the browser was finished and was just waiting for Nintendo to throw it up on the shop channel. So which is it?

    April now

    English version of the article JoeFu posted here

    Also, are we getting TMNT for the Virtual Console tomorrow in honor of the movie?

    you know what, video games really aren't that fun

    You know, I'm certainly not finding any fun in the Wii version of Twlight Princess. Mostly because I already played it on the GC and you don't have to do all those wacky motions just to get things done... that and the Wii's verison is flipped, screwing me up completely.

    I dunno, this just might be enough for me to trade my Wii and two games in for a 360.

    Twilight Princess, while a good game, is an awful example of a Wii game.

    Miyamoto's Keynote:

    ...

    Well that was a whole lotta nothin'

    Yes I know the whole imminent stock thing to prevent them from releasing anything big. If that's the case, why even have Miyamoto show up in the first place? Was he scheduled to talk about a bunch of new things, and then this stock news came in and Nintendo's like "oh well, just rehash the same speech you gave last time".

    I find The Wikipedia Article to be a much faster way to see what got added.

    Elevator Action though? That wasn't even on the upcoming list for the longest time and then suddenly appears and gets released. Castlevania? Metroid? Punch-Out!!? No, let's release a NES game that actually predates the system.

    "Would you prefer it if all downloaded Virtual Console games were organized within a single channel on the main menu?"

    Funny thing is, one of the original concepts had it laid out that way, but they figured it was an extra menu to have to go through.

    I think a Tivo-esque channel would be awesome.

    And you'd be able to record one half hour show*

    *given the stock 512MB memory, not counting SD cards or possible external HDDs

    The reason why Macs have trouble with games is b/c they lack the drivers Windows has. I'm hoping this is fixed in Leopard, but I doubt it. They really have no excuse with the Intel processors now, do they.

    I'm pretty sure it's because writing any sort of program for OS X is different than Windows ( I didn't say easier/harder, just different). Most companies don't feel Mac has enough of the market to warrant having to spend the time/money and have their development teams make software for it.

    Personally I'd love to see more games for Mac, I have one too. it seems to be the one thing stopping a lot of people from switching, but unfortunately it presents a catch 22.

    Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen boot camp do an early build a Vista.
