BLU is currently suffering from debilitating lag. Nearly impossible to play right now.

Needs to come from her, not you, since she's the mixer this week. Just saying.

Oh Dave, you're such a funny guy. You think the game's over after beating world 8?

Fixed that.

They already did Mega Man, though.

Fixed it.

Scores and tallies are updated.

It's nine... ...with a possible TENTH ROUNNNND OMGGGGGG

It's nine.

Yeah you should keep it confined to this topic.

Round 5 mixes up for voting. Round 4 results/tallies will be done later tonight or tomorrow.

For the record, they don't. I don't actually care or pay attention to what people are asking for for Wily Tunes, and I basically pick the song like 2 minutes before I post it.

This week's Wily Castle theme is Mega Man 4 - Dr. Cossack's Fortress 2. Stamp out the Red Menace!

You beg to differ with that? I don't think you understand the word grandeur. Or chiptune for that matter.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but all PS3s are backwards compatible with PS1 games.

Just want to clarify something in case you misunderstood (not sure if you did or not): Paper Mario and Super Paper Mario are different games. The former is the original in the series and is a lot like Bowser's Inside story (it's a turn based RPG). Super Paper Mario is the newest game and more of a platformer. You can buy Paper Mario for the Wii in the Wii Shop Channel; it's in the N64 section. Just want to make sure you and your son don't miss out in case you think you already played it. I cannot recommend Super Mario 3D Land enough. I'm playing right now and it's amazing. If your son likes Mario games, he'll go ballistic over it. Don't worry about the 3D. You can adjust it and turn it off and even lock it out using parental controls, but even then, everyone has a different reaction to the 3D. I personally have never had a problem with it; I play Mario with the 3D turned all the way up.

The Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy is straight up waltz. It is basically Tchaikovsky's Waltz for Flowers for video games.

This is the newest Mario game, available for Nintendo's 3DS. Who else is playing this game? I can't put it down man, it's so good. There are SO MANY LEVELS in this game, it's awesome. Powers are super cool too; I love the boomerang suit. Highly recommended.

You've never seen a fake university shirt? There are literally hundreds of them.

You are probably blind. Or playing on a CRT TV.

You should check out the Paper Mario series. It's a bit of reading but for a 7 year old that's kind of perfect; you can play it together and he can practice reading. The original Paper Mario is available on Virtual Console (it was an N64 game), and Paper Mario 2: Thousand Year Door is available for Gamecube, so you can play that on your Wii also. Just see if you can track down a used copy. Also I don't know if this is on VC yet but Super Mario RPG for SNES is also a good one for little kids. I gave that one to Neblix when he was little and he got a lot of reading practice out of it.

Hey. Cut it out.

Well, that's what the Zelda series is, though. It's Nintendo's whimsical fantasy adventure series. It's about swords and magic and heroes and princesses. You take that away and it becomes Zelda in name only. Progress Zelda to a Victorian steampunk setting or something vaguely WWI-ish or even futuristic cyberpunk setting and you lose the setting that frames the idea of a boy with a sword and shield fighting monsters to save the princess. They aren't really creatively bankrupt though. Skyward Sword has great puzzles and dungeon design; its only real problems are the constant hand-holding (Fi) and the interface issues (treasures, shops, etc.). Even combat becomes a puzzle game about angles, and that's pretty cool.

I really love this game, but I've gotta say to all you guys who don't see an issue with the jagginess of the graphics, you're crazy. The art direction in this game is great but the fact that it's in standard definition is ass. I'm not done with it (did about 5 dungeons so far), but I've gotta say that it's a great game. I only have a few issues: 1. I know what a Jelly Blob (and every other treasure and bug) is. You don't have to tell me every time I load my save up. 2. Store interfaces are crap. Shopkeepers talk too much before letting you buy/upgrade an item. Too much menu-mess. 3. I love Fi's design and the way she dances around like figure skater/ballerina, but I don't like that she always reiterates everything and constantly tells me exactly what I need to do. What happened to subtlety, Nintendo? She's there on the down button if I need her. 4. JAGGY GRAPHICS STANDARD DEF

I'm not ruining the mood and I'm not killing any album sales. I moved a thread and gave a quick reason. Shaggy doesn't have a problem with it. Just drop it.
