Has anyone been able to save in "Classic" mode? I always have to start at the first level each time I play.

Nintendo Gaming / Ghosts 'N Goblins on the VC has me thinking...
« on: December 12, 2007, 07:24:25 AM »
There is something about Ghosts 'N Goblins that is incredibly addictive. It's always been one of my all-time favorite games. When I was a kid I blew tons of quarters on it in the arcade and I've had at least a dozen various incarnations of it on home consoles over the last 20 or so years. This morning I was thinking it would be cool if Capcom updated the game for 2008. I'm picturing something along the lines of Viewtiful Joe. Anyone else with me on this one?

Nintendo Gaming / Any news on the September Wii Firmware Update?
« on: September 21, 2007, 02:40:19 AM »
It's September 21st, the month will soon be over and there hasn't been any word about this Firmware update since E3 back in July. Since it was rumored to be a huge update, I would think we would have heard something by now if it were still coming this month.

Nintendo Gaming / Nyko Classic Controller Grip
« on: June 18, 2007, 08:03:15 AM »
Has anyone seen the Nyko Classic Controller Grip? It looks interesting. My only concern would be that the Wii-Mote might get in the way mounted on the underside. I wonder if that's why Nintendo hasn't released a clip for the Wii-Mote to attach to the classic controller?
Has anyone picked this thing up yet?

Nintendo Gaming / Vigilante 8 (Luxoflux/Activision) on the Wii VC?
« on: April 13, 2007, 03:48:08 AM »
Destructiod posted a rumor that it appears that Vigilante 8 is being prepared for a future release on the XBox Live Arcade.
I used to love this game on the Nintendo 64 and with the rather tiny selection of titles available from the N64 on the Wii Virtual Console, hopefully it's just a matter of time before we start seeing some 3rd party N64 games hit the VC. What are our chances seeing maybe a simultaneous release of V8 for the N64 the same week (or week after) that it hits the XBLA?

Nintendo Gaming / When can we expect news from today's "Capcom Day"?
« on: April 12, 2007, 10:06:24 AM »
The title really says it all. I was just curious to know what's going on. Haven't heard anything about today's Capcom event. Did it take place already?

Nintendo Gaming / Did anyone pick-up one of those "Wii Charge Stations"?
« on: April 03, 2007, 03:04:20 PM »
I saw two different 3rd party rechargeable battery solutions for the Wii today. One made my Intec and the other by Nyko. I went with the Nyko just because it seemed to be built a lot better and the charger acts as a cradle for my Wii-Motes (the Intec unit appeared to only charge the battery packs, but curiously had both a USB cord and an AC power supply, though the packaging indicated that a wall outlet was required to charge).
Nyko Wii Charge Station
The replacement battery cover has a nice rubberized grip which feels very good in your hand. The grip is actually a medium-colored gray (like the bottom portion of the base unit) and not white as pictured.

Nintendo Gaming / Intec Component Cables for Wii
« on: February 10, 2007, 02:54:45 PM »
Just a quick heads-up, I was at Circuit City earlier this evening and they had the Intec Component Cables for the Wii. I picked one up and the price was only $19.99 - so if you're still looking for cables, I recommend trying your local CC.

General Gaming / Alright - so I'm now a "Wii60" owner...
« on: January 29, 2007, 03:38:14 PM »
I was at Best Buy earlier this evening and decided to have them price match the 360 bundle that Circuit City has on sale this week (360 Premium, Additional Wireless Controller, Charge & Play Kit and "Gears Of War" for $489.99 - $40 savings). They were sold out of "Gears Of War" so I was told I could choose any other game with the same MSRP ($49.99) and I chose "Saints Row".
Anyways, now that I have an XBox 360 does anyone here know what the trade-in value of an original XBox is currently at GameStop/EB Games?

Nintendo Gaming / Different versions of the Wii Opera Browser - Trial Version?
« on: December 28, 2006, 03:56:11 PM »
Does anyone know if there are multiple versions of Opera floating around the Wii Shop Channel? The reason why I am asking is because I downloaded the "Internet Channel" as soon as it became available last week (Dec. 22). A friend received a wireless router for Christmas and downloaded it this past Tuesday (Dec. 26). My version of Opera can recognize "keywords" so I don't have to type a full url (ie. I can just type in "ikea" to take me to "www.ikea.com"). On my friend's Wii, Opera returns an error if, at the very least, he doesn't include the ".com".

Nintendo Gaming / Mercury Meltdown Revolution
« on: December 13, 2006, 02:55:05 PM »
IGN's main story on their Wii channel is about the just-announced Mercury Meltdown Revolution. "Mercury" looked like an interestung game when it was released last year for the PSP and the developers claim that the Wii version features upgraded graphics, more levels and upfraded physics. The game will utilize the Wii-mote's tilt sensing for control which I imagine would be just like Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.
Has anyone played the PSP game and if so, do you think this would be a good game for the Wii?

Nintendo Gaming / Does this make me a bad person?
« on: November 24, 2006, 12:21:11 AM »
OK, so I find myself "kidnapping" all of the Miis that travel to my Wii and participate in the "Mii Parade". I grab them and send them over to my Mii Plaza. It's kind of like Pokemon - gotta catch 'em all!
So, does this make me a bad person? LOL

General Gaming / Did Sony lie about PS3 available in US retailers?
« on: November 17, 2006, 12:45:01 AM »
This morning I was watching my local news and they were at an area Best Buy to report on the PS3 line. Anyways what caught my attention is that they mentioned this particular Best Buy had 34 PlayStation 3 consoles in stock and ready for sale when the store opened this morning.
With all of the hype about most stores getting "8 or less" PS3s, this came as quite a shock to me. So now I'm left wondering if Sony purposely made the situation seem even more bleak than it really is to generate even more of a buzz and sales frenzy today? I wouldn't be surprised. God I hope the PS3 ruins Sony. Hopefully HD-DVD will be the victor over BluRay and everything else will fall into place.

Nintendo Gaming / Wii Media Blitz Tomorrow?
« on: November 09, 2006, 01:47:59 PM »
I assume that gaming media sites are still under some sort of embargo. IGN (Matt's Blog) has been teasing tomorrow for the last few days. Matt's most recent blog entry found HERE teases a bit more, showing the Wii component cables and joking trying to connect them to his GameCube. The entry ends with this quote...
"Tomorrow rocketh."

I'm a bit disappointed that Nintendo is not using a full-color silk screen on the Wii disc labels.

Nintendo Gaming / Did lack of on-line support contribute to GameCube's lack of popularity?
« on: August 07, 2006, 11:40:25 AM »
For the longest time, it never bothered me that the GameCube didn't have any on-line titles (except for Phantasy Star). I didn't think it was all that important, and it's certainly not as important as a solid single-player game. A few months back, I found a good deal for an XBox on Craig's List and bought it. I figured it would tide me over until the Wii came out, and it has.
After experiencing XBox Live, I no longer feel that an on-line multiplayer mode isn't important. While it's not as important as a solid off-line gameplay, the on-line element adds a lot to the overall experience. Believe it or not, the first ever on-line multiplayer game I ever tried was Metroid Prime: Hunters for my DS (so you can blame Nintendo, ironically, for getting me hooked on on-line gaming).
I was just thinking, since a lot of people have cited that the lack of on-line support for the GameCube turned a lot of people off about buying the system would things have been different if the ‘Cube had been on-line? I really don’t know.
Thoughts?
