I think you're talking about a kid named "Ganon", his parents weren't aware of the Zelda character yet. They used Ganon 'cause it was a cool Irish name or something.
I remember reading a story about it on this site a long, long time ago. Some Nintendo fan with a kid named Link met them and Link and Ganon played together. XD
VCA: Mega Man: The Power Battle, Mega Man: The Power Fighters
Genesis: Mega Man: The Wily Wars
And last but definitely not least, I decided to save this for last even though it is in fact a SNES game: Mega Man & Bass as an import title. PLEASE Capcom, PLEASE? I'll give you guys my Wii Points...
Trivia: Pikachu's final smash in Brawl is actually Volteccer, and it's used the same way Pulseman uses it. Volteccer is known as Volt Tackle in the English versions of Pokémon. There's actually many references to Pulseman in the Pokémon series.
Even as a fan of the FPS genre, I couldn't get into the first Metroid Prime when I tried it a few weeks back. I'm probably going to pass on this one and maybe get The Conduit. ^^;
"No chance will I buy a PS3. a) The Money, b) the loyalty to Nintendo. Miyamoto and Iwata would never say something like this, nor would Reggie! None of these people have ever degraded the other consoles like Sony and Microsoft are constantly doing in (failed) attempted to thwart us."
Microsoft doesn't say things like this, it's only Sony from what I've seen. In fact Microsoft told us to buy Wiis back in 2006.
A good week. Two long-awaited WiiWare titles which I'll download when I get the chance, along with Clayfighter, which has a small following. I have memories of playing the SNES version, but I think I'll pass on this one, even if it was the SNES version.

You guys do realize VC N64 games use different configurations, right? Not all N64 games will play the with the same button layout with this controller...
Honestly, I'm not enjoying this game very much. I'll admit however that this is a milestone in ROM hacking - when it's expanded upon we should be prepared for something great.
The series has always been good. Sure, G/S/C marked the peak but I wouldn't compare the new games to Sonic's new games (which actually aren't as bad as people make them out to be). The only real problem with D/P is that the monsters themselves aren't as good-looking as the first two generations.
"I doubt even the 64 one will come out. It would still compete against the WiiWare game."
They'd both be 1000 points, so at the same price they won't be losing a thing. Heck, I'd buy the N64 version even though I already have the WiiWare version.

Re: Earthworm Jim Squiggling Onto WiiWare
Never was a fan of Earthworm Jim, but knowing Gameloft is involved makes me feel sorry for the fans.
Re: Rejoice! The DSi Gets a Virtual Console After All
I'm worried about this now...

Re: Review: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Super Nintendo)
This game is amazing. Trust me guys, no review can do this game justice.
Re: Nintendo Download: Art, Cards and Crystals Have Gamers Seeing Spots (US)
"Congrats, NOA, you have just reached an all-time low by our first ZERO game week. This is completely unacceptable !!!"
Actually, the week WiiWare came out we got no VC games.
Re: What Nintendo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?
Donkey Kong 64 is a MUST. Please Nintendo, get things worked out if Jetpac is a problem! I can't stress enough how much I want Donkey Kong 64!
Re: Nintendo Download: MUSHA, Smash Table Tennis, My Life as a Darklord and Puzzle League (EU)
I was hoping Puzzle League was a surprise Hanabi Festival release of Panel de Pon.
Actually, I'm fine with Pokémon Puzzle League, my favourite game in the Panel de Pon series.
Re: What Capcom games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?
NES:
Mega Man 4, 5, 6
SNES:
Mega Man 7, X, X2, X3
VCA:
Mega Man: The Power Battle, Mega Man: The Power Fighters
Genesis: Mega Man: The Wily Wars
And last but definitely not least, I decided to save this for last even though it is in fact a SNES game: Mega Man & Bass as an import title. PLEASE Capcom, PLEASE? I'll give you guys my Wii Points...
...Any amount of Wii Points for that matter.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Shines in 720p
Even games as early as the N64 can be rendered at these higher resolutions. This isn't just a Wii thing.
That's (part of the) reason why N64 games look so much better on the Virtual Console. (The other half is because N64 had bad hardware to begin with,)

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
@Captain Jack Sparrow "If this was reviewed by none other than Corbie it would've gotten a 9 PERIOID!!! "
Chill out, your post is an insult to the good community that is Nintendo Life. I think it woulda been given a 7 if Corbie reviewed it.
On a more serious note, that comment makes me really want to see Corbie come in and put his input in. What would you have scored it, Corbie?
Re: Mega Man Star Force 3 - Boss Trailer
I've followed the Mega Man series since I was born.
Red Ace or Black Joker... Which should I choose? What are the differences? I love the other two Star Force games...
@Corbie: Start with Battle Network 1 and 2.
Re: Box Art: Metroid Prime Trilogy
Even as a fan of the FPS genre, I couldn't get into the first Metroid Prime when I tried it a few weeks back. I'm probably going to pass on this one and maybe get The Conduit. ^^;
Re: Official Nostalgia Trailer Released
I totally agree with Corbie.
Re: Molyneux: Nintendo Made Rare Too Secretive
Rare has always been a secretive company. >>
Re: Capcom Not Ruling Out Wii Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter IV in the arcade runs on Wii hardware, much like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom arcade.
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. (Virtual Console / Nintendo 64)
"Actually, I have to agree with the 7."
This isn't surprising coming from Corbie.
Actually, as much as I love this game and will download it even though I have the original, I agree with the 7. :]

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th June 2009 (Japan)
I can just put .m4a files of all of those songs plus more on an SD card for crying out loud...
Re: Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver "PokeWalker" unveiled
It's called the PokéWalk, actually. And yes, it will be bundled with the games.
And it is very Digimon-like. Just look at that Sentret battle.
I wonder if it will take eggs so kids can hatch them while at school?
Re: Melee! Pokemon Scramble announced for WiiWare
@People mentioning this being like Smash Bros.: This isn't a Smash Bros.-style game. It's more like a classic top-down run and gun game.
Re: Mega Man Meets Super Paper Mario
Saw the old video of this a few months ago, and saw this video a couple days ago. The official website has more screenshots for Mega Man 2.5D.
Re: Introducing Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Fun fact: Sonic Shuffle was made by the same team that made Mario Party.
Re: Introducing Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
FINALLY
I've been wanting Sonic Kart since the early '90s! Add more Sega characters and it's a dream come true...
Just please, Sega, include the old Crush 40 songs from Nascar Arcade as an alternate soundtrack, okay? :]
EDIT: Upon watching the trailer...
YES, Tails in a plane reminds me of my favourite racing game, Diddy Kong Racing! I don't like the song though.
Re: WiiWare Poker Game Too Sexy For Australia
Good, games like this should never be made in the first place. Kudos to Australia!
Re: Ghostwire Coming To DSiWare
Whoa whoa whoa. That looks cool! I was going to buy it merely because the developers knew what the Astral plane was, but the screenshot sold me.
Re: Nintendo Download: Popstars, WiiWare Remakes and Clay Fighting (US)
A good week. Two long-awaited WiiWare titles which I'll download when I get the chance, along with Clayfighter, which has a small following. I have memories of playing the SNES version, but I think I'll pass on this one, even if it was the SNES version.
Re: Nintendo Fandom Downcast At Revelation That Miyamoto Is "Not God"
"It's very funny you should mention that Chicken Brutus,considering I just watched Life of Brian last night."
Yeah, I've been in a Monty Python mood lately too. ^^ Me and Drew were quoting Holy Grail on the bus all the way home. XP
Re: Nintendo Fandom Downcast At Revelation That Miyamoto Is "Not God"
"MIYAMOTO: You are all individuals!
NINTENDOLIFE: Yes, we are all individuals.
MIYAMOTO: You are all different!
NINTENDOLIFE: Yes, we are all different.
ALEXSAYS: I'm not...
CORBIE: Shhh!"
YES YES YES
You made my night. :]
Re: Capcom Looking To Port More Games To Wii?
Street Fighter 4 is definitely possible, considering the arcade machines are based on Wii's hardware.
Re: First Impressions: Let's Tap
...and it has good music.
Re: Don't Toss Those Old Controllers Yet
You guys do realize VC N64 games use different configurations, right? Not all N64 games will play the with the same button layout with this controller...
Re: Nintendo Download: Masks, Crystals, Chess and Art (US)
"Well, you've finally gotten Majora's Mask! Now what's the next game people will be seeing weekly complaints about? "
liek omg weres mario cart & super smashbros 64? >>
Honestly, I hope both Super Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. come out before game #350.
Re: Eternity's Child Status Update
This game is still Europe-only, right?
Re: Nintendo Download: Soccer, Pirates and Galaxies (US)
Corbie: I'm having trouble, I might have to call home.
Re: Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver officially announced
With all these retro fans excited... Could it even outsell D/P?
Re: OFLC Update: Super Mario Kart Finally Coming!
Hey, it's better than last year. XP
Re: Modders Build Mario 64 Expansion
Honestly, I'm not enjoying this game very much. I'll admit however that this is a milestone in ROM hacking - when it's expanded upon we should be prepared for something great.
Re: OFLC Update: Super Mario Kart Finally Coming!
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
About time!
Re: Nintendo Download: Clocks, Calculators, Penguins and Towers (US)
Majora's Mask will be here in a few weeks, hopefully...
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time Remake Coming to XBLA, WiiWare
I wonder if they'll keep the original arcade theme song?
Re: Nintendo Download: Clubhouse Games, Paper Planes, Platforms and Warring States (US)
It's not like the Wii downloads would be any different without DSi.
We've been getting one Virtual Console game and one WiiWare game for ages, guys.
Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (Game Boy)
@LinktotheFuture (@22): You'd probably like Pokémon in that case.
Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (Game Boy)
Digiki: What about D/P was slow?
The series has always been good. Sure, G/S/C marked the peak but I wouldn't compare the new games to Sonic's new games (which actually aren't as bad as people make them out to be). The only real problem with D/P is that the monsters themselves aren't as good-looking as the first two generations.
Re: Mr. T and Will Wright Vs. The Nazis?
This game is a MUST-have for me already. It sounds amazing. XD
Re: Nintendo Download: Clubhouse Games, Paper Planes, Platforms and Warring States (US)
Why? Where's Super Smash Bros.?
Re: Need Some Tetris Lessons?
That was... Interesting. Makes me want to practice my own skills. Maybe I could set up a similar course for Tetris or another game? XD

Re: Nintendo Download: Dr. Mario, Wonder Boy, More Magic Tricks and Crystal Defenders
We still need the NES Dr. Mario. ;-;
Re: Review: Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii)
Not all of us are idiots. ;-; You just dissed me, my girlfriend, and a number of my other friends.
