    Damn it, AJ, I thought you were above the "dust off your Wii" comments.

    As for the game, if you haven't played Kirby's Adventure that's the one you need to pick. #virtualconsole

I have no time to dust it off when i'm playing Muramasa, A Boy and his Blob, Ju-On, Dead Space: Extraction and Contra: ReBirth... not to mention Lost Winds 2, which I still have to buy... Fallout 3 GOTY Edition also doesn't help (both consoles are way too dirty!!) #virtualconsole

    THAT IS BY FAR THE MOST AWESOME NINTENDO ARTWORK I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE!

    That said, why is it that Ninty America won't use similar artwork like this again? The artwork out here look more like ongoing renditions on different takes of the staypuffed marshmallow man (or something.) #virtualconsole

    I purchased Mega Man 3. I'm intimately familiar with all of them except the third one, which I avoid because it just doesn't jive with me. I played through it last night....and I still don't like it. #virtualconsole

    @mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Well, to be objective, some of the weapon were lame (like Top Spin and Search Snake), but it still had some grade idea like Gemini Beam or Magnet Missile.

    I also like some design choices like bringing back Mega Man 2 bosses, stage design and the great music. MM3 is a great game, and its not that bad if you compare it to latter classic MM like 4, 5 and 6 (I don't want to talk about that xP).

    Well, that's my opinion anyway.

    @Hayabusa_San: I found four and five to be brilliant. And in terms of weapons, three had the least variety of all the games (Five probably had the best weapons set of any MegaMan game).

    The only things I like about MM3 were Snake Man (AWESOME stage) and Shadow Man's stages, and the MM2 bosses. #virtualconsole

    After deep consideration and deliberation, I settled on Final Fantasy. It was either that, or Kid Icarus.

    Mega Man II was also considered, but didn't quite make it. I'll just buy the two I didn't pick later. #virtualconsole

    @andrewwyatt: Good call. I have always felt that because of the length of RPG's on the NES (even crystalis) you definitely got your money's worth. Plus FF1 was one of the first games I had with my NES and I rememeber lots of playthroughs so I hope you enjoy it as it is a good choice. #virtualconsole

    I would definitely recommend Kirby's Adventure since you're already considering it. It holds up remarkably well by today's standards, unlike many NES games which are pretty inaccessible if you didn't play them twenty years ago. #virtualconsole

    "All you have to do is dust off your Wii..."

    Too true. My Wii is actually sitting in a dusty pile of cables, manuals, and other miscellaneous peripherals on top of a 360 box in the corner. There is absolutely nothing functionally or physically wrong with it. #virtualconsole
