Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition Gets an Extra Life

So it is "Limited" to the Wii life cycle and not in the sense of quantity. Maybe it is just limited until they re-port the game into another media. I think they could have maintained a bit of integrity to the term limited for the box product if at this point they were to release it on the virtual console for the people who still want to play it.

If life were like an RPG all we would have to do is look for an opponent with loot to drop and repeat until we get what we want. Too bad real life gets in the way and suddenly there are assault, theft and possible breaking and entering charges and jail time especially for repeat offenders.

Agreed. Just thinking back over the last year of games and Nintendo delivers a lot of bonus content in game. SMG2/240 stars, DKCR/Temple levels and Mirror mode, Pokemon HGSS/16 badges and red, Kirby's Epic Yarn/furniture and collectibles, etc. I'm not going to complain about the lack of achievements when on other consoles a lot of that could have been easily paid for DLC.

At least we won't have any "You Got Killed by a Goomba" 0G or any of those other stupid ones. Also we won't have low to no score records for games we don't like and never want to admit to trying showing up for the world to see. No aggravation over achievements we should have received and failed to register.

I like not having to worry about them.

Re: Zoonami: Nintendo Not Generating Enough Interest in Downloads

I'm not surprised. look at the long history of under supported stuff that Nintendo makes. The zapper for nes, mouse for snes, hey you pikachu mic, gcn broadband/modem adapter, wii speak, gba eReader, ect. Nintendo make a lot of great stuff but usually only a couple titles use them and they are then no longer supported. Pokemon ranch doesn't support Heartgold/Soulsilver and its not that they can't update dlc on the wii because even the wii browser got a couple of updates now and then.

As for me I don't like the idea of Wiiware and Virtual console tiiles is because they are stuck on that device and probably won't be transfered to the next console you buy. the DSi XL was a good example because those who already owed a DSi couldn't transfer them to the XL.

At this point there are more advantages to having a physical game disc.
