I played more VC-games than Wii games as well before I chipped. I have some NES and SNES games etc on my DS as well + PC, but there's something special with playing those kinds of games with a great controller on a TV, iMo

yup yup. especially since i tend to play with a lot of people --the idea of everyone crowding around a computer seems really lame to me.

that's why i dig on mariokart64 and goldeneye so much, becuase of the 4-way action. fuck, almost 10 years ago now my friends and i would all get stoned and have competitions all day on the big screen then get drunk, go out, drop e, and fuck bitches all night in the spa.

hahaha!
I still own most old gen consoles so i have a lot of the classics, but i downoaded:
Mega Man, legend of the mystical ninja, Kirby's Adventure, streets of rage 2, Donkey Kong country 2, Bonk's Revenge, Air Zonk, Wonderboy in Monsterland, Bomberman 93, shinobi 3 and Gunstar Heroes.
I only sort of regrert Wonderboy.

man, i'm jealous of your shinobi 3 -- it hasn't been released here yet. neither has mega man, actually, but i have the anniversary collection for my ps2.
is kirby's adventure as shallow as i remember it?

Hadn't played Kirby's adventure before and all the reviews won me over. It's not the great game i was promised but still rather good fun. The graphics are pretty sweet for a NES game.
I'm gonna get puzzlers next. I remember having a love/hate thing with LoLo and Solomon back in the days.
As for EU/USA release dates, i find it a bit frustrating. For every shinobi 3 there's a Super Metroid. We didn't even get the mega man collection for the ps2 here.

Mario & Yoshi is kind of a fun puzzler. gawd can't wait until geometry wars: galaxies hits the Wii. I need a shooter thing like that for the Wii to play a few minutes/hours here and there.

Yeah, though solomon's key is quite good. I remember Lolo really quite vividly, it was one of my most played NES games, ever.
I've never played fu man chu before, looks like it could be something.

chew-man-fu? i'm not a fan of the art style going by screenshots, which is enough to turn me and my superficial tastes away. tell me how it is if you take the plunge.
by the way, does bonk's adventure look really blurry to you? it's nowhere near as crisp as my other vc games. i'm wondering if it's a TurboGrafx-16 thing.

Pshaw. But yeah, I can't really be objective about that game. Too much nostalgia. Too bad there's not a rose-tinted glasses peripheral you can wear when you play these old games.
But Shinobi 3 is immortal. Oh my god, if I could go back in time and show my 1993 self the Virtual Console and how many great Sega games are on a Nintendo console... and Mario and Sonic in the SAME game (the Olympic thing)... 1993 Me would spontaneously combust and all my post at XLT would disappear.

nothing beats a game where you're fighting ninjas on a horse in one screen, and then suddenly in the next screen you're in a dinosaur robot factory. or the unforgettable jet-skiing level. it's pure action game bliss, maybe even better than gunstar heroes.

HE IS STRONGER THAN STEEL AND MOVES FASTER THAN A WHIRLWIND.
SOMETIMES HE HIDES IN MUD. OTHER TIMES HE TRANSFORMS HIS SHAPE LIKE AN EVER CHANGING CLOUD.
ALTHOUGH HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT BURNS LIKE FIRE, HIS BODY IS CALM AS STILL WATER.
SHOULD SHINOBI FAIL BEFORE COMPLETING THE MISSION, HE WILL DISAPPEAR BEFORE THE DAWN AND VANISH FOREVER.
KEEP THIS KNOWLEDGE IN YOUR HEART AND MIND.

OMG Shinobi 3 is up now! I'm not buying it again, but I hope billions do!
That game felt so good so control. The jumping, double-tapping to run, bouncing off walls, that missle dropkick... that game was the best ninja simulation of its era. You're way too unagile in the older Shinobi games, glad they got this up first.

But why would they send it to die against Super Metroid? :_-( This game deserved to be a ''centerpiece'' release.

My current one isn't noisy. My first one was though and that had a knackered disc drive on it (fairly common fault). I'd consider getting it looked at under warranty if it sounds like a dodgy drive.
