I would like to use this post to say that I do not pirate DS games, and have a hatred of it. That being said, I recently bought a flash card and some of the stuff you can do with it is cool. And yes, I do download GB/GBC games, but almost all of them I bought on cartridge too.
@ 16 There is probably some adaptor somewhere, but there is no mass-produced way of doing it.
@ E-160 I'm not a big fan of old games for obsolete systems, usually because I can play something better. New games have learned from the mistakes of past games, and it has nothing to do with graphics, but many old games are simply old. (Although Paper Mario and EarthBound spring to mind as exceptions).
Oh, this is no Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for GBC then. That was actually a good game if I remember right. That was the first licence video game I ever played...
"but if you're a multi-platform owner you can definitely do better in terms of FPS games."
I never expected to hear that from you Drake. Everyone here has a PC, and based on the fact you have as many Steam games as Gabe Newell I thought you would never call PS3/360 a great FPS console. Looks at console TF2
Wow, I can't understand why everyone's so excited about this. The G&W games are shallow and get boring quickly. Now if they released Game Boy games....
Daddy Newts... LOL! And I loved the voice you did for Drake's review. Oh, and I would just like to clear up that I do not think this is a bad podcast, and you have a great radio voice. But I LOL'd when I heard those^^ bits.
@ Swerd Murd Please don't tell me took it in to the computer repairman. If you did you paid him to insert a disc and play DS for the next 30 minutes....
I really want Earthbound to come out! I've already got it via "other means" (playing it on my DS right now, actually) but I want to give Itoi my money!
@ Tealovertoma If so, then why do game publishers license their games to rental places. You are aware they get like $200 per copy or a royalty from the video store, and as previously mentioned the publisher has to give permission to the rental place for them to do it. Piracy on the other hand....
That's sad. If you're Reading this Mr. Wada, I bought LKS about a week or so ago and I think it's up there with Nintendo's best. It would be my second favourite Wii game after Okami.
I don't really think censorship and licensing is an issue for region freeness. There has been no uproar in the West about Doki Doki Majo Shinpan, nor have the western anime companies (although "butchers" is a better term) complained about Jump Ultimate Stars. I think it has more to do with Nintendo charging PAL gamers more.
@ Damo #5 How DARE you compare that to Dungeon Keeper! My friend would call you an interesting combination of genitals, swear words and vers for saying that.
@ Yossarian I was just pissing off Kawaii. He has this principle hatred against the DSi because it's a stopgap system. I'm not buying a DSi either, because they cost more than double was a (second hand) Lite does.
@ Kawaii: You won't regret getting a DSi is got good games great music player & a pretty good web browser to take advantage of those hotspots I'm even using my DSi to type this right now
LOL, "Jump into an exciting advanced war." OK, me wants nao!! When does the WiiWare port come out? I refuse to pay for anything with an Apple logo on it.

Hmmm, it would appear so.

Re: Epic Games: Give Us HD Wii and We'll Talk
Why not play the superior versions (to the console ports) on PC - everyone has one of those.
Re: Nintendo DSi Hits 100,000 Units in Australia
@ Kawaii
Want to buy mine? Wouldn't mind getting a DSi, even if it means no more GBA and GBC games.

Re: Scribblenauts GameStop Preorder Bonus For The Birds
So we have to buy it from EB to get the hat?
It looks cool, but not worth the extra $20 - $50 depending on what deal JB HiFi do.
Re: Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (DS)
Oh, so I guess my stealth first was too stealthy. No-one noticed it...

Re: Podcast: Episode 6 - WayForward Interview!
Ah, thank you Prosody! The world needs more people like you!
Also, great Podcast. And I am still shocked that you managed to get Billy Ray Cyrus to agree to interview WayForward for you. Nice job!
And while I'm at it, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! (say in MK64 voice for extra awesomeness)

Re: Max & the Magic Marker Trailer and Screenshots

Re: Review: BlastWorks (Wii)
@ Corbie
I got a US copy of this lying around that I never play.
Wanna swap it for something?
Re: Incoming Trailer and Screenshots
Wow, nice homebrew. Oh wait...
Re: Game & Watch Games to be Released on DSiWare
Wow, I can't understand why everyone's so excited about this. The G&W games are shallow and get boring quickly. Now if they released Game Boy games....
Re: Interviews: Super Meat Boy - Team Meat
@ Swerd
Are you offended by swearing? Because the only people I know who use the word cuss are offended by it.
Re: Interviews: Super Meat Boy - Team Meat
@ Pinguy
It doesn't really matter. These people are cool so they will tell us that it's awesome in the comments too.
Re: Review: Let's Tap (Wii)
@ Sean
In Australia it costs AU$44 (about 20 pounds) from JB HiFi. We are PAL too, BTW (although I'm sure you know).

Please don't tell me took it in to the computer repairman.
If you did you paid him to insert a disc and play DS for the next 30 minutes....

Re: Mecho Wars Confirmed for WiiWare and DSiWare
How many points, Luc?
And Corbie, why would Luc bail?

He wasn't sure whether to give it a 3 or a 7.
In the end he just averaged them and posted that.

Re: First PAL Screenshots of LIT
@ Mickeia
What happened to Weegee's Mansion? Wiki doesn't mention anything.
@ Stuffgamer
Sonic the Hedgehog. Need we start this endless discussion of bugfixes vs. PAL issues?
Re: First PAL Screenshots of LIT
@ Djungel
PAL60 is (not noticeably) better than NTSC, but when we finally got it NTSC games were 480p. Oh, and don't forget Final Fantasy X.
Re: First PAL Screenshots of LIT
PAL and improved in the one sentence!?
The world has changed a lot over the years.
Re: Reggie Wants Your Dream Nintendo Franchise/Developer Pairings
Treasure Star Fox sounds great, actually!
Re: Reggie Wants Your Dream Nintendo Franchise/Developer Pairings
@ Slambert
God no, I would tear out my eyes if that happened.
But another Ouendan/EBA game, maybe with iNiS, or maybe Okami II with Platinum Games would be good.
And WayForward and Kid Icarus sounds really nice.

Re: Miyamoto Borking Super Mario Galaxy 2's Story
If you want a great story play TWEWY, if you want to jump on goombas play Mario. Personally, I play both.
