Retro Nintendo....

[Deadfyre]

So we got a Wii last week. Been playing up the games we got with it. I had a few beers and decided to see what the Wii shop online had.

Low and behold, its a retro players dream field. I was in heaven, browsing all the titles that I used to play back in the day. It didn't take me long to pop in and purchase 3000 Wii points. Picked up Super Mario 1 & Zanac from the normal Nintendo & Orciana of Time from the N64. I had never played the N64 Zelda game, still haven't, waiting till tomorrow to play it.

I used to be really, really good at super mario brothers and Zanac (its a scrolling flight space shooter thingee). Low & behold, I suck now that I am old and haven't played either since approx 1988-89. Now that I am older, I wonder where all that old gaming skill went.



I love the Wii, for games new & old.

They have great selection in the store. The cool thing is they add some every Monday. I am going to get a classic controller so I can catch up so of the old games that I enjoyed as a kid.
Imagine Duck Hunt on a Wii remote...no wires to get in your way!!!

Ahhh, but you don't need to spend so much money on a VC controller. Just go find a used GameCube controller, does the same thing for less money.

Hey is 007GoldenEye (N64 version) out for the Wii? or was I smoking something when I thought I heard that?

I dont remember seeing it last time I scrolled through.

What I hate is the complete lack of role playing games they offer.

Well, Zelda is there if you want it. Still...

I am wondering where all the popular RPG's and other games are.

[Deadfyre]

I was thinking might and magic, dragon warrior, final fantasy, bards tale... old school non zelda rpg's. :Z

Monster Party FTW! special suprise gory ending included.

Bionic Commando too if you want, it lets you shoot Adolf Hitler in the head with a bazooka in the ending.
