Thanks for the encouragement. I've sent some suggestions to Nintendo, too, for whatever that is worth.
I suppose there is a chance at the upcoming E3 next week that Sega might have some surprises for Nintendo fans. Whatever happened to the Samba for Wii port/sequel rumored in EGM?
Hopefully by the time I get a 360 (for Shenmue III ) all the reliability and compatibility bugs will be taken out of it.
