I really don't like it when this happens. even if I don't play a game online. sad to see online play for a game to go away. you pay for the game. all of the features should stay in the game. what does it take to run a server for online play? any man hours? if not, online servers for all games should keep running.
@KnightRider666 thanks! and of course I also totally agree with your reasons. I am also a collector. also, I have the world record for Demon Attack for Atari 2600.
thanks! I was going to buy the retail version, but instead I will buy this. for one thing, in most places the retail version is still $30. it is still $30 on amazon.
I got it. it's alright. kind of boring. the players are uninteresting. music is pretty good though. not nearly as good as King of Kong or Chasing Ghosts. but, Tetris is amazing. I play it every single day.
this is a great game. a classic. the score should be much higher. and the first time it is available on the go. sure, the price is high (it should be $1.99 imo), but the Wii VC NES games are $5
great read! I only wish the best for Gaijin Games. please continue the retro spirit in all of your games. btw, the Bit games are my favorite games on Wiiware.
congrats Blackflag82! looks good! also, I will have the shirts at Midwest Gaming Classic plus Doctor Kong dvds and some other surprises! http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/
I am thinking about trying the free 1 month trial. probably start nov 1. but, it is strange that they mention you can cancel anytime. isn't this only 1 month? it should just stop after 1 month. kind of sounds like a scam. where you have to cancel after 1 month? if you don't cancel then they will start charging you?
thanks GeminiSaint! I will do that. so, why did this update not have the usual "update" wording above the title? I would have not known about this update unless I was a member here.
Steve, wow congrats! that is awesome! it was a honor to meet you at Big Bang and thanks for making me part of the "team."
just for the record, I was in a room at Big Bang where Billy was being interviewed. 2 others were in the room besides me, Billy, the camera guy and the interviewer. and he mentioned that his Donkey Kong scores are much higher and that he goes only a little over the previous record just to keep the players playing and think they can beat him. so, I am sure Billy will be back soon.

Re: Netflix Channel Now Available From Wii Shop
I am thinking about trying the free 1 month trial. probably start nov 1. but, it is strange that they mention you can cancel anytime. isn't this only 1 month? it should just stop after 1 month. kind of sounds like a scam. where you have to cancel after 1 month? if you don't cancel then they will start charging you?
Re: Cave Story Update Now Available
thanks GeminiSaint! I will do that.
so, why did this update not have the usual "update" wording above the title? I would have not known about this update unless I was a member here.

Re: Classic Mario DS Games Get Reprints at Toys 'R' Us
@#3&28 - it is because Toys R Us is the world's largest toy retailer. they also own etoys.com, toys.com, fao schwarz and kb toys.
I want all 3, but will wait for a price drop or sale.
did not know that Super Princess Peach was out-of-print and rare. my Tru location always had a copy of the game.
@#30 - the sale is buy over $100 worth of Mario products and get a free $25 gift card. btw, the gift card is a special edition and only for this sale.
