Nintendo Worshippers

yeah, you're probably right, but IF and only IF he did it without cheating at all, then that's impressive. I told a buddy about it and they pointed out about 5 times where he should've died, but I don't know if it was just barely avoided, or cheating

[Georg Prime]

Yeah you're right, it's hard to say, I mean I'm not saying he didn't but there's a big chance that he could be cheating in a few different ways. Yeah I saw a lot of times too where I thought he died, but I'm not sure if it's him cheating, or just the bad collision detection in the game. I've always considered myself a good mario player, but there's no way in hell I could do that. The first levels probably, but the later worlds are tough to run through like that so I gotta give him props if he really did do it.

[Darkwolf]

so, our pres is Kirk and our Vice is Dyluck.... well this MAY work out. lol
Well despite wii talk, which I kind of loathe because I still don't have one and am probably not gonna get one for a LONG while. So should I just shut up until I actually play the wii? I mean, all this talk about it is driving me crazy. I have a game boy micro, that's my newest nintendo system I have. So what's new for gameboy games? I hear there is gonna be a KH COM2, but that might not be on the gameboy. If anyone has any idea, tell me.

oh and to Kirk and Dyluck, don't let the power all go to your heads, because I have a baseball bat somewhere that I can bash em with. MUAHAHAHAHA*cough* ...umm.....whatever......

[Georg Prime]

Heh, yeah the newest Nintendo system I have is a Nintendo 64, so I know how you feel. I'll probably be getting a Wii sometime soon..maybe. Possibly after a price drop, then I'll be able to play the Wii games and the old gamecube games as well. I have played a lot of GBA games on a *cough*cough* emulator though.

I would definitely be busting out my SNES and Super Mario Allstars right now but I need a powercord for the system and I don't know where I can find one unfortunately. Because seeing that Mario video makes me want to try it for myself, I've always been a much bigger fan of Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World for the SNES though. I think those two are easily the best mario titles along with Mario 64.

I was catching up on my daily Chrono knowledge today, when I came upon this interview with Square-Enix's vice president, Hiromichi Tanaka. Among MANY things, the possibility of a Chrono Trigger remake and the game being released for the VC game up. I will quote that part of the article here.

AR: *Ahem* Recently Chrono Cross was mentioned in an interview with you and you stated there would not be a sequel to Chrono Cross because it would be too difficult to get the original team together again…? Does this rule out any possibility for the Chrono series in the future at all? Because Nintendo fans are always asking about a Chrono Trigger remake…

AR: It seems to be…the Chrono series seems to have a huge following across the Internet. People are always asking about Chrono Trigger, maybe it will appear on the Virtual Console for the Wii…?

HT: It’s a 50-50 possibility – we’re not sure yet. It contains a really difficult problem of copyright issues, such as Akira Toriyama’s artwork. We’re discussing with Nintendo, but haven’t really come to any conclusion.

LS: Do you think that, again given the original Final Fantasy games were on the Famicom, that they could equally be released on the Wii on the Virtual Console?

HT: *Laughs* It’s also difficult…

Just a small portion of the interview, people should read the whole thing, pretty interesting. He covers everything from FF III, to the DS and the Wii, and the Mana series among many things. Doesn't sound too good for CT being on the VC but atleast there is some possibility. The interviewer also brings up the idea of a sequel, which seems to be an even more far fetched idea since basically all of the CT/CC team doesn't work at Square-Enix anymore.

...oh yeah and I won't let the power get to my head..or will i?

Are you joking me... My favorite GBA game, ever, isn't on the list, what the hell is wrong with the world?

What is my favorite GBA game ever you ask? Why, Fire Emblem (The Blazing Sword for the ending that was never put in the English title), thats what. What in the hell are 4 Pokemon games doing on that list, honestly. Yeah, I can see some of the Mario games, but even so, I wouldn't include those, as they aren't original for the GBA, just re-releases, that ticks me off to no extent. AND CARS?! WHY?!!!!! Geez, what in the hell are people buying that crap for. Personally, I think those sales are pretty bogus, and shouldn't be even considered a list of the "top ten" for the GBA, as most of those particular sales come from parents, who have no idea about anything gaming, buying games for their kids, and no serious gamers going for the GBA, which is a pretty sad thing, as it was and still is a damn solid gaming console, I would like to say, even moreso than the previous handhelds, and moreso than the current DS, although, that may change in the coming years...

~TheDarkDragoon

[Georg Prime]

Heh, yeah that certainly is a lot of Pokemon games on that list! It'd be interesting to see the top GBA games of all time. I haven't played a whole lot of GBA games for sure, but I think both Golden Sun games would be on my list, those were really fun rpgs.

I'm really happy that FF VI Advance is now out, I don't own a GBA, and I've been wondering If I should go through the trouble of playing it through *cough*cough* emulation (like I have with all the GBA games I have played through), I think I mite but right now I have too many games on my plate. I'm happy to see that some of the dialogue has been reworked though not too much of it, so that it loses it's original Ted Woosley charm. It's been getting great reviews though, the only thing that seems to be bad about it is some occasional slowdown.

@Captain Kirk, that is great news about Okami even though right now it's just speculation! The wiimote would be perfect for the gameplay, it'd be a lot better using that to paint than some joysticks. Throw in some extra areas, new abilities, sidequests, updated graphics and hell we'd have quite the winner on our hands for the Wii.

Anyone who was worried about Clover Studios disappearing. There is already great news about the development team's come back! So their talent will be back in action sometime soon hopefully.

And that is wicked newz, the Wii has been doing amazing since it's release. Proved all the Nintendo haters/ ps3 fanboys wrong for sure! LONG LIVE NINTENDO!

[Kaiser Dragoon]

ACTUALLY (being the self proclaimed residential Fire Emblem geek of the Nintendo Worshipers club) it was the Sealed Sword, or Rekka no Ken that wasn't released to the US audience. The Blazing Sword was the one that was labeled for the American market as just "Fire Emblem". The Sacred Stones was also the final GBA release, just in case anyone was wondering . Also, if you all want to talk Fire Emblem, I started a thread yesterday about the new Wii title ^^.

Anywho, I am probably going to run to town either tomorrow or on Sunday and see if I can't get a copy of FFXII and FFVIA (you didn't think I would announce one without the other didja )

Oh, and Dyluck, what happened? I thought you were gonna get a DS? Seriously, you should get a GBA or DS, because there are a lott of GBA titles out there, and even though they can be played through emulation, (gets ready for rotten tomatoes) you are kinda gipping the developers of money, ya know ^^;; I can see emulating games that were Jap only, fan translated, or some games, because you are absolutely broke and want to try some of them(me for a damn while until I got this job). Just some words from me. Anyways, a GBA Micro is like 50 bucks, new, so, that might be a cheap solution until you can afford the DS, and FFVIA is 29.99, so, meh, up to you.

~TheDarkDragoon

[Georg Prime]

Oh yeah I'm still planning on getting a DS sometime soon. I have lots of cash lying around, plus it's my birthday soon so I'm probably going to be getting more. I've only played a small handful of GBA games through emulation though, and this was a long time ago. I think Golden Sun 1 and 2 are the only ones I have finished, I think I got pretty far in Advance Wars though. I'm definitely looking forward to playing Fire Emblem on the GBA though!

For more interesting Wii news, another interview from Suda 51 and the upcoming game "No More Heroes". I know you'll enjoy this since you are a fan of Killer 7, Ranger. The development team seems to really like the Wii and have even said they have no intentions of developing for the PS3 though their next game will be on the xbox 360. Apparently though, Suda 51 and Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear series), are working together on a new Wii games entitled "Project: S". Oh yeah, and he promises this game will be more violent than Manhunt 2, and that is saying A LOT (especially on a nintendo console).

Hope you enjoy that though folks and happy posting.

[Kaiser Dragoon]

Got my copy of FFVI Advance, looks like they totally redid the translation for it :/. None of the main characters names have changed, it looks like the script, the items, and the monsters have totally been redone though, its like playing through another game.. *sigh*

I am also playing through all three games I got for myself, pretty much simultaneously, FFXII (Collectors Edition ), FFVI Advance, and Dragon Quest VIII .

Anyways, I think I am gonna hop back onto one of those games...

~TheDarkDragoon

[Taco-Calamitous]

Ladies and gentlemen, I just got karma'd.

I was at Costco today, and I decided to look at the PS2 games to see if they had anything I wanted. What should I see right next to the PS2 games, but a Wii package with Twilight Princess and Excite Truck? I literally whimpered out loud, because I already spent all the money I can spend on video games on the PS2 I just got. If I'd waited a little bit longer... "FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!!" ....ahem. I actually saw that in my head; the f-word, capitalized and in red, over and over again. Anyhoo, I was pacing around, thinking about it, and I finally decided to just go back and get it anyway. Guess what; it was already gone. I actually chuckled out loud then, too. Then I walked over to my family, to whom I had told this to, and my brother in law was like "that solves that problem." I just stared at him for a second, and said "...no, it doesn't." If I'd just been fuckin' patient... yeeaaAARRRGGGHH!!! Anyhoo...

My friend's actually playing the FF6 Advance right now, too. I saw it last night. Not too impressed with the sound quality, but its a handheld, so *shrug* I kinda want to play it too, though. Although I don't have any handheld system newer than a GBC. Just to see what the new translation is like, if for no other reason. Anyhoo...

People were talking about the Sonic game. We've been talking about that a bit over on the bumbleking forum, too. I don't know how Great Writer Fuji would react, otherwise I'd post a link to the thread in which they've been discussing it. There's a bunch of screen shots of the game and stuff, and there was this, too:

http://www.famitsu.com/fwtv/
Go down to the bottom of the page, and click the icon with the Sega logo. It is a longer version of the trailer, and this one shows levels we hav'nt seen before, more CGI, and more of the mini games.

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Georg Prime]

Greetings my fellow Nintendo Worshippers, Dyluck is out of commission for the time being, but I am taking his place here as the Vice-President. The name is Cyrus and you may know me from a certain SNES game by the name of Chrono Trigger.

WE HAVE A NEW ACTIVITY!

So Captain Kirk and I thought It would be a good idea to update our member's list with everyone's favorite Nintendo Game (right now maxpower and Taco are the only ones with entries). So with that in mind everyone, what are your top 5 favorite nintendo games and why? Remember your top pick will be listed with your username in the official roster.

..if you have a hard time thinking of 5, your top game would be fine but we are encouraging people to think hard here over all your favorite nintendo games. I'm going to edit in my favorites once I think it over some.

I'm looking forward to see everyone's choices, Happy posting!

[maxpower]

I guess I'll start this activity off. So here is my list-

1. Legend of Zelda - A link to the past
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Legend of Zelda - the wind Waker
4. StarTropics
5. Super Mario Kart

Runners up- Donkey Kong, Punch-out, Super Mario World, Excitebike, Earthbound, and Super Metroid.

I would have to go with the Legend of Zelda as my favorite franchise of all times! I really like those games. However I am also partial to Super Mario.

[Georg Prime]

Awesome list, I'm glad to see somebody will share my top game! Here are mine:

1.) Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past - My all time favorite Zelda hands down. The full realization of what Miyamoto conceived for the Legend of Zelda. It could be argued that this game brought the most change for the series.

2.) Earthbound - I have yet to encounter any RPG with the amount of humor, charm, and absurdness than Earthbound. It's a one of a kind game with great characters, funny enemies, loads of pop culture references and downright ridiculous situations. Too bad Nintendo never brought over Mother 3.

3.) Super Mario World/Super Mario Allstars - Alright, I definitely cheated the system here, but it is technically one game though It is a collection. All the great 2D mario games in one amazing package PLUS the lost worlds, what else do you need?

4.) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - The Legend of Zelda making the great leap to 3D, and introducing new weapons, horse riding, automatic jumping and lock on targeting to Link's arsenal.

5.) Mario 64 Probably the greatest 3D platformer around, Mario's leap to 3D was nothing short of amazing. Big and well designed levels full of the old familiar characters, fun mini games, and a good amout of replay value.

*honorable mentions: Super Mario RPG, Starfox 64, Super Metroid, Mariokart, Super Smash Bros, Mario Paint, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Pokemon (Red/Blue).

And like Max, my favorite franchise is definitely Zelda, with Mario being in second place.

[Taco-Calamitous]

1. Super Smash Bros. Melee: All around awesome fighting game, which includes most of my favorite Nintendo all stars. There are very few things that beat beating people up as Fox, Falco, Yoshi, etc. Tons of replay value, here.

2. Pokemon Red/Blue: Oh, the joys of the first venture into the world of Pokemon. Traveling around with my favorite charmander, collecting those gym badges, exploring new areas, and finally catching that last elusive pokemon (I got all 150, eventually. Either the pokedex or Professor Oak shows you this little certificate saying "you are awesome," basically.) Dag, yo. That takes me back.

3. Super Mario RPG: An all time favorite that I've played through countless times over. I just loved the colorful worlds to explore, the cute characters to interact with/fight, and the battle system was a lot of fun, too, just as the Paper Mario games had fun battle systems.

4. Super Metroid: I'm not sure if I've yet to find everything there is to be found in this game. It was fairly massive for its time, eh? It was also colorful and action packed; running around and shooting things has rarely been done better, in my opinion. I might be full of crap, but ah well. Exploration = fun.

5. Super Mario World: Can't leave this one out. Another game that I've played through countless times, and when I go back to it after a long break, it's fresh and fun again.

I'm surprised I didn't put any Zelda games up there. I would think I'd at least put OoT or A Link to the Past. Oh well. I also didn't put any Star Fox games up there. I dunno; there's just so many good games! It's hard to pick out five of them. It'd probably be hard to even pick out ten.

However, if I had to pick an all time favorite series, simply for its variety (and mostly for the RPG entries) I'd have to pick the Super Mario Bros.

...although Fox McCloud can still totally kick Satan's ass. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

[Darkwolf]

1. Zelda, Ocarina of Time
this game was awesome, it even beats windwaker in graphics, when it's on a lower system. The 3d was great, and there was a fairly big world, and there are some secrets I still can't get.

2. Super Smash Bros.
This covers both, even though I've only played one. This game is perfect for having some friends over, because multiplayer is amazing.

3. Metroid fusion
This game is fun, especially when you're hiding from your clone o_O it has a pretty good story, about the hate between the metroids and the x things. I like how you unlock abilities until, at the end, you kill that bastard that you run from.

4. super mario bros 64
I don't know how anyone could hate this game, it's also on ds, but having it on the big screen is awesome. There are so many worlds, and so many bowsers. I love how many things you can do, like turn him metal and take him underwater.

5. Yoshi's story
I played this one when I was kind of little, so I don't remember it that well, but I remember it enough to say it's a great nintendo 64 game. ^^

one thing, in zelda oot, I don't know what the little theatre in the forest is for and I don't know what the secret room in the fire temple is for. please pm me the answers

[Yunie Lover]

The mine game list is.

1. The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii).
2. Pokemon Emerald (GBA).
3. Pokemon Leaf green (GBA).
4. Super Mario World (SNES).
5. The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64).

[maxpower]

Hey I am not sure if you guys are interested in Nintendo History but you should check out this commercial for Doki Doki Panic. It is the game they used to make the American Super Mario Bros. 2. I thought it was pretty funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPA1Yw_lkjA

It's funny how little was changed to make Super Mario bros. 2.

[Georg Prime]

Ha, that is pretty funny Maxpower! I knew that game was based off of Doki Doki Panic, but it's pretty safe to say after watching that video that Super Mario Bros 2 IS Doki Doki Panic only with Nintendo characters. The levels all looked identical. I just wonder, are people glad we got Super Mario Bros 2 instead of the Japanese sequel, Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels? As much as it's the age old case of Japanese people thinking we are too dumb and inferior to play hard games like Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels, I actually enjoyed Super Mario Bros 2. I'm glad we got Lost Levels when Super Mario Allstars was released though. I still haven't beaten Lost Levels to this day (the only one out of the NES Marios I havent), one of the dungeons at the end of the game was ridiculous from what I remember.

Anyhoo, I'm liking everyone's game lists. I'm not sure who else has to post theirs, DarkDragoon hopefully will be around but I was just thinking that I haven't seen Setzertrancer around here (or TFF) for a really long time. I guess we'll wait and see though.

[Kaiser Dragoon]

So Captain Kirk and I thought It would be a good idea to update our member's list with everyone's favorite Nintendo Game (right now maxpower and Taco are the only ones with entries). So with that in mind everyone, what are your top 5 favorite nintendo games and why? Remember your top pick will be listed with your username in the official roster.

Oh, wow, a toughie list, this is really hard because of spanning, what, 10 consoles? And, even then, there are cross platforms, Nintendo only, third party developers, and stuff that comes straight from Nintendo. So, I am going to put forth some rules, that I don't expect anyone else to follow, but I will be following.

1.) Only one game out of a series
2.) Nintendo platform only, third party developers, but games released "Nintendo Consoles Only"

Now, for my list:

1.) Fire Emblem(7, The Blazing Sword, GBA)
2.) Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES, GBA)
3.) Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES, SNES, GBA)
4.) Metroid (NES, GBA, GCN[unlockable in one of the Metroid Prime games])
5.) Final Fantasy III (NES, NDS)

Anyways, with that out of the way, I have been playing FFVI Advance pretty hard, when I can, but, quitting my job today will probably boost that time by a lot. I also bought Tales of Phantasia for the GBA today (couldn't resist, 15.99). Seems a bit different than its SNES counterpart... Oh well, I need sleep ~.~...

~TheDarkDragoon

[Georg Prime]

Good job pointing out the rules, I definitely should have set them in stone. I guess when I said Nintendo games I meant first and second party games really. Your list does follow those rules, except Tales of Phantasia, which breaks your own rule because it was released for the PS and PSP.

I'm definitely liking the list though..and yeah the GBA version does look a lot different. I know for one it has Suzu as an extra character like the PS version did, but other than that I'm not sure of all the changes besides the obvious graphics and stuff. Tales of Phantasia is one of my all time favorite SNES rpgs though. It really set the blueprint for both the Tales series and the Star Ocean series as well.

It seems we have most everyone's list now though. Not enough people are active here anymore! Oh well I guess..us Nintendo Worshippers have to stay strong!

I was checking out this article awhile ago, IGN's Top 10 Underrated and Underappreciated Gameswhen a bit of Nintendo nostalgia kicked in. Two games on the list, Space Station Silicon Valley and Body Harvest were two classic Nintendo 64 games. And oddly enough, something I didn't know is that Body Harvest was the blueprint of sorts for the 3D GTA games because it was developed by the same team. Space Station Silicon Valley was an amazing and innovative platformer and I'd be overjoyed if they brought it to the VC.

Is there any game (obscure or not), that you really want to see come to the VC?

[Kaiser Dragoon]

! Why didn't I realize that *is ashamed*

I broke my own rules, haha! Anyways, I will clean up my list of that one game and see where it goes from there, thanks for pointing that out.

~TheDarkDragoon

EDIT: Added FFIII to above list

Also, I would like to say, Star Tropics is a very under appreciated game. Hard as it may have been, it was extremely good nonetheless! And I would definitely love to see it come to the VC, have a chance to play it on a real console again.

[Georg Prime]

Cool, looks like everyone's lists are done. It was an easy mistake made DarkDragoon, since both the PS and PSP versions of Tales of Phantasia were Japanese only. Those are some good choices for the VC though! New Adventure Island is already released for the VC but I'd definitely like to see some of those old classic NES games. U.N. Squadron too, that was one of my favorite shooters back in the day from Capcom, and a pretty hard one at that too. I just hope that the old square RPGs make it to the Wii, because as of now that seems to be up in the air.

Well I'm pumped to say that I have ordered two new SNES controllers and an AC adapter since my friend lost mine. My old controllers still work, but some of the buttons are mashed in and overall they are just really worn out. Soon, I'm gonna be playing my SNES again like nobody's business! I also ordered Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64. So I'm gonna have a Nintendo party soon!

While searching Nintendo products on amazon I came across the FC Twin. Has anyone heard of this? It's a completely legal (patents on both consoles expired) game console that plays both NES and SNES games. Everything works perfectly, except for the fact that some NES accesories don't work with the console, like the light gun. All the SNES ones do though. You can buy the system new for like 40 bucks off amazon. It seems like quite the deal to me. I was thinking about investing in one, my SNES still works fine though, and I'd have to invest in a good collection of NES games too. Still, It's a good possibility.

Happy posting all!

[Kaiser Dragoon]

Lovin' the Power Ranger theme,

Anyways, back on topic, I would love to see a lot of OldSkool on VC, actually, But, I figured I'd mention an "obscure" one. Some others I would like to see are the "Super Star Wars" games, those were actually pretty fun, at least, I had a blast with them. Another game I'd like to see come to the VC... Biker Mice from Mars(SNES), haha! I dunno, I remember playing that game like 5 years ago and really liking it, but, of course, my taste in games has always been.. questionable . Also, any of the Ogre Battle games would be a welcome sight, SNES or 64. Oh, another, the TMNT(NES and SNES) games, haha, the platformers were awesome! I also wouldn't mind playing a few of the classics I missed, such as Earthbound, and... uh.... I dunno, but, I am pretty sure there are a few more out there >.>;;..

~TheDarkDragoon

Edit: Oh, and I found this Wiki article, looks like I didn't know as much about the SNES as I thought I had:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellaview

[Georg Prime]

Biker Mice from Mars..oh man I remember that! Yeah there are certainly a lot of classic SNES games I'd love to see on the Wii. How many of them make it to the VC remains to be seen though. Ogre Battle would be great, I've played the SNES version, but I have yet to play Ogre Battle 64 and if it was released on the VC, I'd finally be able to!! And who wouldn't want all the classic beat em up games like the TMNT games. I loved Turtles in Time and even the fighter, Tournament Fighters. I think Battle Toads in Battle Maniacs would be high on my list too, and Battletoads Vs. Double Dragon. (both Rare developed games!). Both those games were f***ing hard!

Oh yeah the Satellaview..another Japanese only thing. The only reason I've known about that is because Radical Dreamers, the side story to Chrono Trigger, was a satellaview game. Needless to say, being the die hard Chrono fan I am, I've played through the fan translated version and gotten every ending. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a really big Chrono fan since it is a text based adventure and Chrono Cross basically cancels out the events of the game. Chrono Cross is based on the game though, and it's interesting to see the differences between the two and the possible intentions the developers had that didn't transfer over to Chrono Cross.

I didn't know they had a remixed version of Zelda: Link to the Past though. It sounds like it's a master quest of sorts for the game. There are really a lot of decent sounding titles for the add on. It's too bad we never got it here. Here's a list of some of the games..I think these are only the Nintendo developed ones though since Radical Dreamers is not on the list. Looks like they had some kind of Fire Emblem thing though DarkDragoon!

Sony was actually working on a CD-ROM add on for the SNES..but that ended up being the Playstation. Very interesting indeed..

[maxpower]

Okay I have updated the first post to include all the active members and their top five games. Also I changed the rules to read that only members with over 150 posts need apply. Also I added the current leadership of the club and asked anyone interested in applying to contact Ranger. If I have left your old screen name in the "other" members list. Or should change something else please tell me.

Also in case you have not seen this here is some music to enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldFCBpTwEGI

[Helter Skelter]

Ok. I'll finally ask if I'm eligible to join. I'd enjoy making my own Nintendo signature, too.

Well, first off, I was brought up playing the NES. Though I only ever had eight games for it, I loved the thing. It's suffered a lot over the past 15 years, and it has its share of battle scars, but I removed the thing from its dusty packaging the other night to see if I could get it to work. I couldn't, but only because my TV isn't compatible with it (my TV is PAL, the NES is NTSC; apparently the thing can only run on an NTSC television).

But I've also dug out the N64 from its dusty shelf recently too, and I've decided to make an effort at cleaning them off, setting them up (on the appropriate TV) and venturing on a trip down virtual memory lane. If I can.

I was never interested in Sega consoles in the 90s, although I did play them at friends' houses, and I never even saw a Playstation until 1999. I was also partial to the Gameboy, and I loved my Pocket system. I've also got the original issue Gameboy Advance, but I was never too excited about it.

Unfortunately, I never owned a SNES, but having loved playing it at my cousins' house in America, I think it still keeps me up as a worthy membership candidate.

[Kaiser Dragoon]

Haha, Interesting application, Helter, interesting indeed, all you need to do now is name your top favorite Nintendo (Only) games ! Anybody who likes Oldskool is good in my books

Oh, and Cyrus, I *cough* found a copy of Radical Dreamers, its an interesting concept, but, good grief, it was boring and difficult ^^;;. Text based isn't my thing, obviously, but, I can at least say I tried it XD.

I have also been trying to find (WORKING) copies of the different BS games. I, personally, had only played one before, and thought it was just a fan-remake, the one based on the original Zelda. I downloaded the four (yes, four) BS Fire Emblems from a site, but, I was only disappointed that none of them worked. I do wonder if the Satellaview games are restricted because of the voice acting that took place in some, that, according to the Wiki, was live. Anywho, cya all =D

~TheDarkDragoon

[Helter Skelter]

My favourite Nintendo games. I didn't have too many, so it won't be difficult.

In no particular order:

1. Super Mario Bros. 3 [NES]
2. Mario Kart 64 [N64]
3. Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire [N64]
4. Warioland 4 [Gameboy Advance]
5. Super Mario 64 [N64]

I was tempted to list Tetris, because it genuinely is a favourite

They'd probably change again once I'm reminded of their supreme qualities. I loved playing all of them.

[Taco-Calamitous]

Another game I'd like to see come to the VC... Biker Mice from Mars(SNES), haha!

I didn't know there was a video game for that. I remember watching the cartoon on weekday mornings, though. Heh. I also just found out recently that one of my favorite voice actors (Rob Paulson: Gusto Gummi, Raphael, Yakko Warner) was one of the biker mice. Although then again, that isn't really surprising; he was in everything, along with Tress MacNeille (Babs Bunny, Dot Warner, etc.)

Also in case you have not seen this here is some music to enjoy.

That is awesome. I love A Capella (I was in the class in High School, because I'm a NERD.) I actually saw that a few years back. It makes me feel very nostalgic, and a single tear runs down my cheek...

Anyhoo, yeah. I have not been an active member lately. I guess I have not been feeling very Nintendo-y lately. Although for some Old School games I'd like to see on the VC whenever I finally get my Wii, would be Crystallis (my favorite game, back in the day; the original, not the GBC version) and... I can't think of any others right now, because I suck. Anyhoo...

Also, welcome Helter Skelter. I like your face. Anyhoo...

Ohhh, yeah, how could I forget about Crystallis, too bad my copy came up missing some time between moves :/. Oh well, I need to find another copy, or, maybe it'll come out on the Wii

Yeah, Biker Mice from Mars was a game on the SNES, dunno about different consoles, but, that was the one I played, it was a fun little racing game, the top down third person type.

Anyways, I do believe I am really bored, and going to resort to playing FFXII to dull the boredom for a while, Ciao
