I'm just happy to see a new Wii release.

Seriously, the Wii remotes get very good battery life — even on rechargeables. Is it that hard to just keep a stash of charged batteries on hand? That's what I do. Whenever a pair dies I charge them and swap them out with fully charged ones.

@misswliu81 I'm old enough to remember all three of those but can't remember these. Then again, I preferred toys that actually did something.

DLed it on the first day. I hope by some miracle it eventually pays off for him. At the very least he's gained some loyal followers.

Here comes the shovelware.

Since the human eye cannot even tell the difference between 30 or 60 FPS why do I care?

The Japanese Famicom was butt-ugly while the US release was unlike any other console before it in design. Seems like they flipped it around for the SNES: give Japan the elegant system and let the US have the Playskool version. The Genesis definitely won the battle in design — at least in the US.

These types of games scream to be played on an iPhone or iPad.

Slightly off topic, but if hackers in the mid-90s didn't start developing emulators for these systems I doubt the industry would have had the brains to recognize the demand. The emu scene was initially disliked by many big names, who inevitably profited from their work when they saw thousands of retro gamers downloading their favorite ROMs.

I feel sorry for the kid who gets this as a present.
