Really ? NO... the Xbox version is better in every possible way ! But... i think the reason i still own (the N64 version) is because it cost me like $90 when it first came out. Not to mention how rare it is now...
I remember buying this game as a kid and spending HOURS playing it until finally completing it. Yeah... some of the levels do seem to blend together a bit but if your in the mood for a good, LONG, platformer... you can't go wrong. A solid 3/5 from me.
C'mon... Conker better on N64 ? I've played & finished BOTH versions and there is really no comparison : the Xbox version completely and utterly DESTROYS the N64 version... that being said... i only own the N64 version. Ironic i know
@ Mr. Cheez Yes this is basically the same as Wonderboy III except the main character is different. Other than the enhanced graphics (over the SMS version) it's identical.
Ok... i played till level 23, died, and chose not to restart the level. The next time i went to play, it didn't save the level i was on. What gives ??? Do you have to choose quit game instead (from the pause menu) in order for it to save the last played level ? Or... do you have to start over every time ?
I like Wiiware so far as well (just finished Lost Winds - pretty cool) but i must admit XBLA PWNS Wiiware. Period. At least they have demos so you can try before you buy. Online play as well. Nuff said.
Another reason for price discrepancy: Many retailers purchase games from a wholesaler at a set/export price. Therefore, in some cases, they must raise the price of their games a little to compensate so they can actually make a profit.
I think a HDD solution is the way to go as long as we don't have to deal with any of the DRM BS like on the 360. But for simplicity, yeah letting us play off SD or a flash drive must at least be considered.

Re: My Pokémon Ranch
^ LOL... Nintendo should have called it : Our New Pokémon Cash-In™ but i guess that would've been too obvious...
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in America (6th August)
My Pokémon Cash-in™ ... er... i mean.. Ranch ! Gotta SNAP 'em all............ in HALF LOL !!!!
EDIT: Still #1 really ? Oh well I guess all the Pokémaniacs really have migrated to the Wii now....

Re: Splatterhouse 2
@ ALDAWGZ
Absolutely... this is one of my favorites for the MD/Genesis too ! But yeah... part 3 is the best hands-down. Can't wait for the new 3D remake !!!
Re: Nintendo Responds To US Release Date Queries
@ Bass XO
Yeah i'd like to see some 32X stuff too ! Virtua Fighter especially...
@ timp29
RARE on VC... the chance of that happening is about as good as Nintendo actually giving us reliable release dates for VC games LOL !!!
That said... i would love to see it though.
Re: The Mascott speaks about the Virtual Console!
@ Objection_Blaster
I would love to see some more N64 titles on the VC too ! I could finally get back some of the gems i foolishly sold over the years.

Re: EU VC Releases - 27th June - Super Fantasy Zone
It's funny how almost every discussion turns into bickering over SD cards, storage issues, or SMRPG ! LOL.
Re: Strong Bad - Homestar Ruiner - Trailer #3
@Jupiter Adept
Ok... so just finish one, delete, and download the next. LAME i know, but there is always the "good" ol' SD card LOL !

Re: Review: Protöthea
@ Objection_Blaster
Yes...older games remade to be quite good... Dr Mario & Toki Tori just to name a couple
Re: 100 WiiWare Games Currently In Development
No... unfortunately not all of us are nice. Let's hope Nintendo gives us an answer (about storage space) at E3 other than “Just use an SD card...”
Re: Toki Tori Coming To America On Monday!
Like Mr. Calvert said: NO WHINING PEOPLE ! It's a one dollar difference... get over it !!!

Oh... and The Whopper PWNS The Big Mac... easily.

Re: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - More media!
I will postpone your pummeling... FOR NOW ! ... LOL ...Can't wait for this.
Re: Ninja Combat
This was one of my fave arcade games. An instant download !! Hope it comes here...
Re: US VC Releases - 28th April - Double Dragon
The NES version of this wasn't very good. Here's hoping for the Genesis version
