Bryon15 commented on Power Rangers Megaforce Fighting Its Way Onto 3DS:

I might actually get this. I never stopped watching power rangers. But I admit the newer games are nothing like the ones for snes and sega genesis. Also you can in fact play those old games on the Wii. But it requires hacking.

Bryon15 commented on Nintendo Gives US Government Recommendations o...:

I personally don't think it's wrong to pirate games that nintendo no longer makes money off of. This includes everything from nes to gamecube. Another thing to think about is the rareness of a game. Metroid prime trilogy and xenoblade chronicles both sell for $100+ on eBay and amazon. The average person can't afford that. I can't. And if a person does pay that price, nintendo won't see any of that money since it's a used game. So people should be able to pirate them in that situation. Anyway this won't work. They tried to shut down megaupload and it came back a year later. This is a nice effort but I doubt it'll do anything.

Bryon15 commented on Microsoft Almost Purchased Sega In Order To Co...:

I am so glad this did not happen. I would've hated it. I'm a die-hard nintendo fan, but I've always loved sonic as well. I mainly bought all of my sega systems just to play sonic. If this had happened it meant I would have had to buy microsoft's systems too! No thanks. I've never been interested in xbox.

I put down Star Fox U for most wanted upcoming game. I hope that rumor about retro studios making it is true.

Bryon15 commented on Talking Point: Wii U and the Importance of Bac...:

I'm sorry but I still think that Nintendo really has no excuse for the Wii U not having Gamecube BC support.Let me explain.

I have detailed here, how it is possible for Nintendo to have GC compatiblity, and Not add to system cost. It requires no more emulation that Nintendo has already programmed for Wii compatiblity.
Also, just because there would be physical compatiblity, that doesn't mean GC games would be off limits to the Virtual Console.

Wii Specs:

PowerPC CPU @ 729 MHZ
ATI GPU @ 243MHZ

Memory

24MB Embedded into CPU
3MB Embedded into GPU
64MB RAM usable by any component

Gamecube Specs:

PowerPC CPU @ 486MHZ
Exact Same ATI GPU @ 162MHZ

Memory

24MB Embedded into CPU
3MB imbedded into GPU
16MB to buffer DVD drive and for Audio Processor
The only remaining differences are I/O and of course the DVD drive itself.

As you can see the Wii and Gamecube are very much the same, save for some overclocking and a RAM upgrade.

Here's how the Wii gets compatiblity: (From what I can decipher) 48MB of RAM is disabled, and 16MB is used as a DVD buffer and reserved for audio. The processors are then clocked down from 1.5x speed to 1x and run at Gamecube spec.

Now if the Wii U can already run Wii games without issue, what is preventing Gamecube compatiblity?

You may say "what about controller ports and memory cards?" Well nintendo could release a new wireless wavebird controller for that. And for memory cards they could release a memory card adpator so we can transfer our current cards to the Wii U internal memory.

Bryon15 commented on Mega Man Fans Troll Capcom Following iOS Socia...:

I agree with those fans. This game is a travesty. I don't know what the hell capcom is thinking. In 2003 for megaman's 15th anniversary we got 6 new games. So wtf happened this time? It's like they don't give a damn about megaman anymore. If this is the case then why not just sell the megaman license to another developer who can actually do it some justice? F*** you, capcom!

Bryon15 commented on Rumour: GameCube Coming to Wii U Virtual Console:

I'm sorry but this is something I refuse to do. I'm not paying $20 for a game I already own and originally payed $50 for just because nintendo is too greedy and cheap to have made the Wii U backward compatible.

Bryon15 commented on 3DS System Update Locks Out a Lot of Flashcard...:

Really I think the main reason why people pirate is because games are becoming too expensive. Handheld games that used to be $30 are now $40 (3DS) and $50 (vita). Console games that used to be $50 are now $60.

I thought nintendo's showing this year was just as bad as E3 2008. I mean seriously what the f***? They didn't show anything new. We already knew about pikmin 3 and super mario U. Where the hell was retro studios with star fox! No zelda, no metroid, no star fox, no f-zero, no kirby, no ssb4. I'm extremely disappointed. I don't think I'll be getting a wii u this year. And they didn't even say the price or release date for it anyway. F*** you, nintendo!!
