That game was cool. If only there was a game like that but where you could just hop out of the mech whenever you wanted to just like how you can in GTA games and then go and gundam jack any other mech?

I always felt that whenever there is a mech based game a person should have the freedom to exit it or eject and then go and take control of another one rather than be forced to die in the cockpit. (like ejecting from a jet)

Do you guys ever think Lucasarts will re-release their classic Super Star Wars series from SNES onto the virtual console? I'd have thought now that the wii is selling huge numbers, it would be a great way to jump on board the wii-train and make some money off the old classics... Even Shadows of the Empire, which i really enjoyed, on the N64, could do with a re-release.

Probably won't happen, due to licensing issues.

Aha, I just realised that Dragon's Curse is Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap!

That game was awesome, the music rocks, even now so catchy still..!

Gonna buy some more Wii points and get that & Kirby on the NES I think..

Does Snap support the Wii Remote? Or do I need to use the classic controller?

I tried to tell people, but no one listened. Maybe not here though...

It really is the best game ever!

It uses the classic controller, the only wii functionality it has is the ability to send photos to friends. Which is still kind of cool...

Also, all Pokemon Snap completed, every pokemon photographed and Mew in a perfect pose.

Sure it's a short game but wow is it fun. Pity it only has one save slot though, my friend is playing through now, and it deletes all my hard work... so I am keeping the Mew pic on my wii.

:lol: I didnt know NES had a version of skate or die. Is it anything like the commodore version with the skate shop and different events on the main screen you had to 'skate to'?

Yep, that's the one. Bit easier to play with the ol' C64 joystick though.

Tell me how to get the secret passage in the tunnel.

Snap is great fun, if they had put Wii Remote functionality in it I'd almost say it's GOTY.

Man I see that Sin & Punishment is out now on the US VC, but as much as I want it I wonder if it'd be worth me buying it, with my Wii sideways I'm too lazy to open up the side of the Wii and bust out a GameCube controller.

Mind you I suppose I could just buy a classic controller. Anyone seen em' out cheap anywhere? $27ish going rate or somethign aye?

Are you talking about the tunnel with all the electric pokemon?

If so, where the magnetic pokemon are... (I can't recall their names) there is an electrobe to the left. Hit it with an apple and it will explode and open a new path.

Last week's release (not releases) was Donkey Kong Country 3 for SNES. Good game, too bad it was the only one.

Today's release (not releases) was Harvest Moon for SNES. Good game, too bad it was the only one.

That Harvest Moon is very tempting. However I already have the PSX and GC versions, why should I buy this one?
