I agree with you. There are a few really good games on it, but both the PS1 and Saturn blew it away.
I do see a lot of stuff like Donkey Kong Country Returns, new super mario bros, paper mario, ect.. im not really sure what the point of those would be if i already have the originals. Its just the same thing with spruced up gfx isn't it?
Not sure about DKC Returns, but New Super Mario Bros. Wii is definitely
not the same thing with spruced up graphics! It's a whole new game. Call it Super Mario Bros. 6 if you wan (New Super Mario Bros. on DS would be SMB5). If you like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, then you'd be nuts to pass this up.
Thank you for the answers on the video out and batteries. Thats kinda weak that it only does 480p, but it doesn't surprise me much. I guess i gotta buy component cables to do even that though. It is strange that theres no battery pack though. Does it only take regular AA batteries? Can you actually plug it into your wii, or is it battery only?
Just regular AA batteries. The rechargeables I have last pretty long, actually. There are 3rd party battery packs, but why bother?
although im not looking for games yet, i did have one question; When you guys say the new sin and punishment.. are you referring to a remake of that old N64 shooter that never made it to the states somehow? (one of the few good games on the system, and it didn't even get to the US, lol)
I'm not sure why you seem to think a lot of these games mentioned (NSMB, Paper Mario, this one, etc.) are remakes. This is a sequel.
I also saw someone mention gamecube games. Is the Wii backwards compatible? if so thats a plus, because i would have liked to get the fire emblem game. I borrowed my friends gamecube just to play that game back in the day =P
It's 100% backwards compatible. There's a flap on the top with 4 Gamecube controller ports and two memory card slots. Just buy a Gamecube controller, and maybe a memory card, and you're good to go! The Wii is actually just an upgraded Gamecube as far as hardware in concerned. It has a faster CPU and more RAM and... I think that's about it, to be honest. I don't know why other companies just don't do that, as it would make backwards compatibility much easier, not to mention making things easier for those making games!
Geez. Every post you make just screams of someone who is either a troll or the laziest person I've seen.
Pretty much, as all of these questions are easily solved by a google search. But... I somehow feel better about my self for answering these questions.
