Not "more of the same."  It was "less of the good stuff."  Actually, it took away good stuff, and inserted lame stuff.

Hate.

SMB2 was incredible cuz it presented Mario Universe with lots of new tricks.

VGA is analog, just so you know.  Don't go touting niche custom cables as some sort of advantage.  GC and Wii were designed for TELEVISIONs.

Analog(YUV) is the natural output for these systems.  You converter box has to do an additional Analog(YUV) to Analog(RGB) conversion step to get VGA to work.  You're only LUCKY Nintendo left a gaping digital hole on the GC where some chaps figured out how to skip the Digital(RGB) to Analog(YUV) conversion inside the expensive GC component cables and go Digital(RGB) to Analog(RGB) suitable for VGA connections.

There are converter boxes that'll convert componet to HDMI without the quality downgrade you get from component to VGA, but that's something someone else's niche monitor problem would care about.

Stick to televisions.  They're more exciting to throw your Wiimotes into.  And stand up when you play.  Desks are lame.

Tell me what's Digital about GameCube component cables that a TV actually cares about.

Tell that to my eyes.

Played a regional Conduit match, did decent for a few rounds.. when I finally got lucky and Human weapons were picked, I "pwned" a full 12 player match with the pistol in the pentagon.

End score: 37k/5d
One 10k massacre
Two 5k massacres
One 3k killing spree

I'm getting better at my headshots and I have you to thank for the awesome control setup

You're welcome.

It's only an upgraded PSP game.  It doesn't use any unique features of the Wii.

The game is done.  You're not going to see it fixed.

"I want to absorb the atmosphere, but I seriously get afraid playing."

Good reason to absorb everything.  Find all the things that scary to you.  Explore the edges of your mind.

I spent 10 hrs the first time, absorbing the atmosphere and all the details (do this, Caterkiller).  My 2nd and 3rd plays were about 2 hrs each, skipping the common story bits, only paying attention to the altered cutscenes.

It was made on a strict budget and schedule.  It's old and new, what's old is now new, but can't make it too new just for the sake of being new new.

A game full of all this direct, free-pointing manipulation of the environment that Yoshi does was something I hoped would be in the first Galaxy game (and not just shoved into P2's role).  The Crystal Bearers beat Nintendo to it.
