Actually, reading some of the posts, even they criticize Nintendo, but I see where you're getting at. If these games come here, something tells me all those fanboys professing they'd buy it, won't. Thus wasting everyone's time...

That's Linux for you...

Had a good time, thanks for giving me a link to the servers...

Thanks alot! I'll be sure to try a match or two when I get off from work today. And no idea on putting in silly gibs? Or is that something relegated to servers?

I know that it sounds silly, but do you guys know of how to have the gibs that show random stuff like rubber duckies, springs, or a boot, instead of the blood and body parts? I kinda like the idea of those silly things popping up. And also, how do I get in on the OC servers? I'd like to play along with you guys. Sorry I'm such a noob to PC gaming and multi-player on them...

No big deal, there's plenty of people like that. And there's plenty of people that are slowly starting to realize that as well...

Galaxies is a decent game, but I don't consider it the best Mario game. Mario 64, as archaic as it is, is still the best 3D Mario in my opinion. At least you could decide how to get to the stars in that game, Mario Galaxy forces you to go the directions they dictate to you....

I knew they weren't going to release these games. For one, they don't believe they'd sell. Just because you get a big supportive list on Amazon and a few other places, doesn't mean those same exact people will come out and buy it if it were released. Secondly, as weird (maybe not) as this sounds, Nintendo wants Zelda Avat...er, Skyward Sword, to be the "Swan Song" of the Wii. THEIR GAME, they don't want other games (or lack thereof) getting in the way of it. That, and as silly as it sounds, maybe they're intentionally starving the Wii, letting it be forgotten, and then BAM! Hey! Here's WiiU!! It's NEW AND HD! WE HAVE PORTS OF MAJOR FRANCHISES!!! I'm going to laugh at the launch of their next system. Those very same fanboys who say they're not going to buy the WiiU because of this, will instantly buy it the minute another 3D Mario or Zelda gets announced for it, guarantee it. Maybe this is a wake up call to fanboys....

Fair enough, I guess last year with the malfunctioning Wii-mote was more of something worth including. I'm just a bit miffed with Nintendo, even though I've decided to get a 3DS in the coming months.... I'll believe that third parties will support a Nintendo console when a year or two passes and they continue to do so. That's about when most of them quit trying. They'll go on a long spiel of how there's no "Hardcore" audience or Nintendo is too kid friendly or they can't compete with them or some nonsense like that. This is part of the Nintendo cycle, much like Sega with Sonic titles.

I agree with some people here, where's Nintendo? Their show was just as underwhelming this year as the rest of them.

Before I got rid of my 360, I invested more into the XBLA than physical games. I found few games that could be justified for their $60 price tag. XBLA games I highly recommend: Portal: Still Alive (if you don't buy Orange Box) Scott Pilgrim (a good beat-em up, good Anamanaguchi OST) Pacman Championship Edition DX Crazy Taxi (yeah, the "updated" soundtrack sucks) Super Puzzle Fighter Bionic Commando ReArmed Outrun Arcade Perfect Dark (60 FPS, much better than what N64 handled) Banjo Kazooie (same as above) Final Fight Super Meat Boy (If you can get a 100 % in that game I hate you) Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD REMIX (the soundtrack ) Castle Crashers Shadow Complex (Metroid rip off, but good) Beyond Good and Evil HD Plants VS. Zombies Doritos Crash Course (an actually good game, and free) Outland (okay, rips off Metroid, and tries to be Ikaruga also) I would have recommended Braid, but I realize now that game sucked. Don't bother with Comic Jumper, it tries to be funny, but comes off obnoxious.

So are a lot of things they waste money on...

Meh, didn't think it would go through. None of the bills that have ever been presented has passed. Any bills after this probably won't pass either. But I have to say, if it did, I would have loved to see them try and make games under the limitations that would have been imposed, if for the laughs. Especially to hear all the whining from the game making "artists"....

I would support this movement if I still had a Nintendo Wii, but a part of me still doubts NOA cares to acknowledge that there are still die hard Nintendo fans wanting GOOD games, or at least games with future sequel potential to release here. I won't be surprised when Reggie is asked and he basically says, "It won't sell, nobody is interested in it."

Great album!! Nice work!

I was using the latest version of MAME, guess I should use MAMEUI 64 if it's easier. I was reading that about the parent files and whatnot. But what's this with the BIOS? What do I do with it? I have a number of BIOS "files" that are for specific Arcade machines, do they need to go into the rom folder as well?

I'm not going to ask where to find roms, I know that's frowned upon of course. But I wanted to ask if any of you have experience with MAME and what version you use, and if you know of any places that provide good guidance on running games. Any help is much appreciated.

Half the time Destructoid posts garbage to get page hits or to seem funny when they really aren't. The only videos I ever watch is "Hey Ash Watcha Playin?" or "The Jimquisition" the latter because often times Sterling can have a good point in the video. Destructoid is Atlus ho for sure. They've been obsessing over that stupid Caroline game (I'm sorry I'm sick of hearing about it). I honestly can't wait for that game to flop and Destructoid blame it's readership for not picking it up. Braid was a hyped up bore fest that justified Microsoft's $15 price tags, and now that's considered cheap to their new junk.

Tell that to all the "enthusiast" and "journalist" press that thinks games need to be cinematic so that people will take their hobby/obsession seriously. You ever read the ridiculous stuff Game Inform, er, GameStop magazine writes? In the Editor's front page or the articles? It absolutely stuns me how ridiculous games seem to be getting.

As negative as I've been on Nintendo lately, I've actually started to take an interest in the 3DS, and I might try to pick this game up. I've given up on console gaming, I'm more interested in handheld gaming and PC.... I'm such a hypocrite....

As much as I have been negative about this new console, I'll give it a year AFTER it's been out, maybe longer before I would buy it. By then, there will be games worth owning...

Hopefully it won't be as hard to find as the 3DS!!

Why do people still believe that Square is going to do a FF VII remake? Why would you guys think Sony would allow them to port it to a Nintendo console? Didn't they milk that game to death enough with a stupid CG movie and games?
