I do agree with juliopalio above though. Different color WiiMotes would be nice. Like the different colored N64 controllers, it would be nice to have different colors for the different players. It would also be nice if the color of the WiiMote showed up on the screen, too. You know, if you have a green remote, your little hand cursor showed up green. That way, in case someone forgets, they don't have to ask, "Who was number 4?" They can just see a red hand, look for the red remote, and they know. Sorry, random idea rambling...

Hand Helds make more sense to me as far as having different colors, because they are meant to be taken out in public and will be seen. Might as well have one that looks nice or is different in some way.

But that's just me...

What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW.

On a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

Superman vs. The Hulk
Batman vs. Spiderman
Wonder Woman vs. Iron Man
Red Skull vs. Lex Luthor
Aquaman vs. Oh, nevermind, who wants to fight Aquaman?... Greenpeace?

My plan is to open up all my consoles and stuff them with granola, humus, Birkenstocks, spotted owls, baby seals, and gray whales. Let's see Greenpeace complain about what's in my console, then!

@lost_in_hollywood: I also have several old (not-disposed-of-in-a-landfill) consoles hooked up in my house. (12 hooked up and useable, 1 useable not hooked up, and 2 broken) I ain't throwing away anything!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to find out where I can buy some baby seals...

90% of the player characters in the game will be male.

Prediction:

Of all the time spent in character creation, 90% of it will be creating females.

Moral: Although most players will be male and want male characters, they will spend about 10 minutes creating their male character and about an hour and a half looking at boobs.

I just keep having flashbacks to the movie "Weird Science."

Then I've got about 12 corpses in my living room...

I like Indiana Jones, too. And I like Castlevania. I have nothing against people who want to cosplay.

But Koji looks like he just tied someone up in his basement.

I imagine the J-dome becoming the Vomit-dome.

I game when I can. I stay up after everyone else goes to bed for a few minutes. I game at their nap time. Just grabbing a few minutes here and there. It's probably why my gaming has shifted more towards Shmups and less to games like Zelda or RPG's. Shmups require far less time for a quick fix.

I have never finished a Legend of Zelda game because of this. I get to a point where I'm kinda bored with the game, so I stop playing for a week or two. Then, when I pick it back up, I don't remember what items I gotten already, what quests I'm working on or what the next step was... I usually end up just starting a new game from scratch. Then the same thing happens again. I get bored, stop playing...

I've probably started Ocarina of Time about five different times. Just can't stick with it.

I agree that there is a problem with difficulty spikes. Especially if the spike is an area that must be completed or passed to continue with the game. There is a part in Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance for the GBA that I cannot get past. Cruised along pretty well, enjoying the game until I got to that one room, and I have navigate a room faster than a large iron ball. If I beat the ball, I get the items I need to continue, if I don't, I have to try again. I cannot seem to get there faster than the ball after probably hundreds of tries and as a result, I gave up on the game. Haven't played it in over a year. Can't get past that, can't go any farther, the game might as well be over.

But I like difficulty spikes if they are not necessary to continue the game. The challenge comets in Super Mario Galaxy are an example of this. If I can't get the star on a comet level, it's okay, there's other levels I can go and complete. I can come back to the comet and try again later if I feel like it. A difficulty spike does not end the game in this case.

Didn't get: V, Q, R, U, I, W, G

Although I knew it was Mario, I couldn't figure out why he was S.

G could have been many things: Galaga, Galaxian, Gyruss, Gradius (my guess)

Indiana Jones looks more like a cowboy than Indy. Others have mentioned Ico as a better option, I was thinking Ikaruga would be good. Just don't do Irritating Stick...

My dad plays spider or something like that.

I remember my dad won a Atari 2600 and like 5 games as a door prize at a supermarket grand opening. Since we already had an Atari, the new one went in the top of the closet and we only got to keep one of the games (Yar's Revenge). I don't remember my mom or dad ever playing a console game past a home Pong-clone we had when I was like four years old or something.

I'm now daydreaming about how wonderful this would be to actually have portals like this in bars. If the tender does exactly as the illustration depicts...

...processing...

No sir, I don't like it.

1. I don't want the bartender/barkeep filling up the same mug I just drank out of, I want a new frosty one.

2. The mug isn't angled, I'm predicting a lot of foam and not enough beer.

3. A portal like this would be a reason to cut out the middleman. Namely, the waitress. I like the waitresses.

A definite positive would be employing the portals to allow for fewer trips to the urinal... But that leaves the question of, how do you sanitize a portal?

Also, the part in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for the GBA where you have to race through a room and get to a certain part of a room before a giant rolling ball blocks your path. I've probably tried to get past that room about 200 times. Using just about every time saving, speed-increasing strategy I can think of. My inability to get past this one room has resulted in my giving up the game. I haven't played it in over a year.

There is a place in Metroid Fusion that is very similar where the bad Samus is chasing you. I always die.

These two instances are frustrating because it is like hitting a wall. I was doing fine progressing through the games and suddenly there's that one part that seems impossible.

I know there are other games. I specifically remember throwing controllers at my PS1. And I have tooth marks in one of my TurboGrafx controllers as physical evidence of frustration with games there. But, perhaps, like someone who experiences a traumatic event, I have blocked the details from my memory.

Darius Gaiden on Saturn
Gate of Thunder and Soldier Blade on VC
R-Type and Raiden on TG-16

I like the red.

The controllers are okay. I'm sure they aren't comfortable but the original controllers weren't either.

I've seen some people dissing the top-loader NES. Why? It's still an NES. So what if it isn't the finicky, flashing front loader. I have one of each. The top loader works like a charm. The front loader is leaned against the wall (along with a Master System) and no longer works.

I had the flashing screen. Ordered the pin connector to repair it. While waiting on the connector to be delivered, one of the cats decided to pee on the NES. I get the connector and realize the feline urine issue. Take it apart, clean it up the best I can, replace the connector, put it all back together... and it still won't work.

I'm hoping the controllers are wireless, they need to be changed to the dogbone controllers that came with the top loader.

But this one just doesn't look that fun to me. It moves a bit too slow, and reminds me of the bubble stages in Super Mario Galaxy. I don't like those stages.

Just not interested.

I have a Wii. =(

Damn.

Oh, and I used to work in retail. The customer is NOT always right. The customer is often rude, unreasonable, and a liar.

It also reminded me of the GBA Metroid games. I think it looked great in a retro way...

*random thought warning*

I was thinking about how Bionic Commando was remade for XBLA, and was thinking they should do a remake of an old Metroid game. But, being a Nintendo property and not a third party, it would never be on the X-Box, it would have to be on the Wii. So I thought, fine, remake the original 8-bit Metroid and put it out for Wii Ware. But then, the original Metroid is already emulated on Virtual Console. So why would they essentially have the same game, twice? So, it will never happen. Bastards. Why couldn't I live in some odd parallel universe where Metroid was made by Capcom or something. But then, if it were made by Capcom, it probably would have been a 2-D fighter and there'd be games like Metroid vs. Marvel or something and since I hate 2-D fighters, I would never have played Metroid. And in that weird parallel universe I would probably be lamenting the fact that there would never be a updated remake of Bubsy or some other crap. So parallel universes suck, too. Damn you Stephen Hawking.

*random stream of consciousness thoughts end*

I had to deal with about four or five kids asking me if I had seen Iron Man yet (I'm a teacher). They all know I want to see it because I have an Iron Man background on my computer. All of them wanted to tell me about it.

A friend of mine had come over to my house and I wowed him with the TurboGrafx-16. Then we went back over to his house and I got my ass handed to me playing Tecmo Bowl.
