Back in 1992, who would've thought that some 18 years later someone would actually write a review (about the length of a college paper) on The Addams Family SNES game?!
I understand the confusion. For the longest time, the Japanese had the business model that the mangers would never make more than 10 times the pay of an entrance employee, but it is true tha in recent years they have adopted more of an American model.
I think Miyamato could make more money if he wanted to, but with more money comes more restrictions on creativity so he settles for more creative freedom and a modest salary of a cool million dollars. I respect him for placing creativity beyond wealth which I think is a traditional quality.
Wii Sports seems like Final Fantasy compared to the depth of Kinect. True, that Star Wars game looked cool, but it's bascially like a rail shooter with a lightsaber. Sony' Move is way more impressive.
I even think Project Natal sounds better than Kinect.
Tower of Doom is the best reason to get this. I would rather play it than Zelda for the NES! It has tons of re-play value with its random generated dungeons. A very satisfying game to say the least. It's amazing!!
Space Battle, Pinball, Shark Shark, and Thunder Castle are great titles too.
The upcoming DS version will have over 40 games. So fingers crossed we will get the D&D and Imagic games.

Re: Review: Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
The Atari 7800 version is very good and addictive.
Re: Donkey Kong Stars in the Most Awesome Wedding Video Ever
What's up with all those gay jokes for the groom?
Re: Reggie Wonders Where Metroid: Other M Sales Went Wrong
I don't regret paying full price for this game.
Re: Review: The Addams Family (Super Nintendo)
We live in such strange and wonderful times.

Great job Jamie. This site rules!
Re: Super Mario Collection Special Pack Revealed
I agree with The Fox again.
Re: Even a Wii Remote or a DS Stylus Can Be a Sonic Device
Does it make that sound?
Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
Just got my copy today from Amazon.com! I will be playing this puppy later tonight!!
Re: Atari's Greatest Hits Hitting the DS in November
I'll probably get this. I hope it's only 20 bucks. Still, I usually prefer playing Atari games on my sweet 7800!
Re: Doctor Who to Land the TARDIS on Wii & DS
I love Doctor Who. Why can't this hit the States?
Re: Review: Aero the Acrobat (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Yea, this review's title is medicore at best. Sorry.
Re: Not Tetris Looks Like Tetris But is Not Tetris
What's the point?!
Re: Aero the Acrobat
I have never played this, but I would probably download it.
Re: Review: Ufouria: The Saga (Virtual Console / NES)
I didn't know Sunsoft had a mascot.
Re: Sonic Turns 19 Today but Brings No Presents for Nintendo Fans
I hate Sonic.
So I'm here to wish him a very un-happy birthday.
Because of him, Bonk went from being the #2 mascot to the #48 mascot.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto is Certainly Not Short on Coins
Talk about an unfair world.
We pay more money to the crooks who destroy our banks and oceans than a genius who tickles are imagination and makes us smile.
Blame the Americans for their greed not the Japanese for being responsible with their business leaders' pay .
Re: Reggie Confirms 3DS is Coming Next Year
Donkey Kong 64 was still like Donkey Kong Country!
Re: Stinger
I always wanted this, but could never find a copy. I remember seeing the ad in a Fanastic Four comic book.

I even think Project Natal sounds better than Kinect.
Re: Gawp at these First Ever Screenshots of Sonic the Hedgehog
I'm sure I had that issue!
Re: Ufouria: The Saga
Now this is my kind of rock n' roll!
Re: Military Madness: Nectaris
Does this have new levels?
Re: Only 8.8% of Japanese Consumers Want to Buy a 3DS
I still worry that the 3DS is another stop gap system and it won't be the true sequel to the DS.
Re: Review: Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube)
I like this and Lugi's Mansion more than SM64!
Re: Virtual Console Confirmed for DSiWare
Talk about a cruel joke!
Re: Virtual Console Confirmed for DSiWare
April Fool's Day!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Review: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (Virtual Console / Nintendo 64)
One of the few, third party games to get a 10!
Re: Review: Final Fantasy II (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
I love the GBA version!
Re: Last Ninja 3 Refunds Going Out Now
Where's my refund for Tower Toppler? There is a bug on the 5th stage you can't beat it!
Re: Review: Zaxxon (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
I would love to see Zaxxon 3D from the Master System arrive on the VC. My favorite MS shooter.
Re: Review: Zaxxon (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
Wow, you gave Zaxxon a 4! I love this game. Would you give Defender a 4 too?

Re: Zaxxon
It's a shame that Sega has forgotten the Zaxxon brand over the years. We need new Zaxxon games!
Re: Review: Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth (WiiWare)
Why is there no save feature? I love the game, but that really was dumb not to include it.
Re: Celebrate The Holidays With Cheaper Sega Virtual Console Titles
Nintendo should consider this too. I mean Urban Champion, Operation Wolf, and Donkey Kong Jr. Math need all the help they can get.
Re: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Getting Long Overdue Western Release
Great news! I already own a Turbo Duo copy, but I will still download it because it is awesome.
Re: Review: Space Manbow (Virtual Console / MSX)
But is it better than Defender.....
Re: Review: Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Nintendo 64)
Here's a crazy story. I paid $90.00 for this game in December of 96 at EB! I think I got ripped off.
Re: Feast Your Eyes On This Castlevania: ReBirth Footage
I'm just about speechless! The early Castlevania's were always my favorites and this game looks like a dream come true!
Re: More Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth Screenshots
Few things in life are as a sweet as a good Castlevania game!
Re: Review: A Boy and His Blob (Wii)
Wow, another slam dunk review from Corbie Kong! Give this guy a raise.
Re: Trent Reznor Big Fan of Nintendo
Trent's a smart guy and I think it's cool that he isn't afraid to say he prefers the so-called "kiddie" system.
Re: Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance
@Bass XO
Actually, three months later to be exact.
Unless, you are going by some strange metric system math that us Americans are unaware of....
Re: Toys R Us Get In On Wii Price Drop Shenanigans
As much as I love the Wii, it's hard to justify the 50 lettuce between it and PS3.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
Holy Cow!
I love anytime Corbie says "the kind of game that will remind you why you love playing video games in the first place."
Re: Castlevania Comes to WiiWare
I'm glad they are taking a break from the Metroidvania formula.
Re: Review: Midway Arcade Treasures (GameCube)
I prefered it more when Atari was the face of American video games instead of Microsoft with their broken systems and greedy practices.
Re: Review: Midway Arcade Treasures (GameCube)
"Roadblasters" is my favorite arcade game of all time. It's my "Defender."
I have no real complaints with this disc.
Re: R-Type
The SMS's R-Type is a magnificent 8-Bit achievement!
