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?
