Wii U has Super Mario U on it. It also has Monster Hunter and Nintendo Land. These aren't sketching art games. They are actual games that you play on the TV in high resolution. I don't understand why you're complaining about the Wii U not being a games system. Nintendo historically focuses their hardware on gaming.

I have a Wii U and I'm pretty sure that what Xbox One is doing is completely different and looks a lot cooler. I've tried to use TVii a couple of times and I find it to be very sluggish and basically useless.

Not to turn this into yet another BC debate, but nobody "suddenly" stopped doing backwards compatibility. 360 didn't have full BC with XBOX. Most PS3s didn't have full BC with PS2. In fact Sony has only ever done full BC with PSX games. Nintendo only implemented BC with GCN > Wii, and then Wii > Wii U. Handheld fared better with Gameboy all the way through to DS Lite, and then DS > 3DS. BC is not a thing that we've consistently had, and it's not something that suddenly stopped. Sometimes it just isn't cost effective to develop hardware that supports backwards compatibility; it can drive up the hardware costs and/or put limitations on innovation and architecture. I'm fairly certain that if they could do it in an easy, cost-effective way, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft would all love to put BC into their systems, because having that preexisting library is obviously very valuable, but leaving out BC is sacrifice that the console makers are willing to make in order to push their system specs higher. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, but it's a consideration that the console makers take into account.

I thought it was pretty impressive. I like the name too. It makes sense. Interface stuff looked nice. Nice to have "recent" stuff right up there on startup. Price is obviously a consideration, but I'll probably get one.

Music is up. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, no reviews in voting threads. Review belong in this thread.

Matchups are UPDATED. Mixes due SUNDAY. I'll post the mixes later tonight or tomorrow for voting.

I'll announce matchups tonight. This week's mixing session will go Sunday-to-Sunday. First week was just an anomaly.

Your naming convention is fine. I'll make a new social group for the B4C2.

Yeah I saw that yesterday when I picked up my books. Glad we decided to include Wily Wars in the B4C2. also: Toxic Cave Zone

Yes, Libra Balance stage.

Not really no. But something upbeat is what I'm looking for.

Folks, still looking for a Star Force remix. Would like to see one for this track:

It's rendering 480 video while the console runs in an HD resolution. It's inherently applying anti-aliasing to the image. It's upscaling the signal. That's what upscaling is.

Yeah I read the article. Like I said, you posted an article that says that Wii U upscales Wii games. Yet somehow you're trying to prove that it doesn't?

You just posted an article that states that Wii U is upscaling Wii games.

No I personally consider Lava Reef and Hidden Palace similar enough. In any case, it's not really relevant because all the tracks have already been assigned.

Yeah I agree. I thought the thing with the Mandarin was great, and it made a lot of sense.

Twitter changed stuff ages ago that broke this. I don't think embedded tweets are coming back for v6.

Yeah. For stuff like Sonic 3 where Act musics are clearly just remixes, it's fine. But if you've got an Act music that is basically a completely different song, then it's no go.

No collaborations! We are live. Mixes due on Sunday. Get CRACKIN.

What version of Green Grove Zone do you want? Genesis or Saturn? They were different.

This is really wonderful.

Not to step on anyone's toes, but are you guys seriously not familiar with people shouting out "FREE BIRD!" at concerts and shows? This is such a universal "live music" joke.

I spent most of the day with MomSword yesterday. We'll start tonight.

Well it's not even that. It's just that aside from all the nickel-and-dime bullshit EA does as a publisher, the quality of their releases (aside from say, the recent SimCity) is pretty good.
