Considering it is my favourite RPG, I'm all for it on 3DS.
It's not my fave RPG, but hell yeah I'd play another version.

Speaking of Final Fantasy, all this time I thought "Nasir" - the programmer of FF I/II/III and Secret of Mana - was the pseudonym of some Japanese man. Nope - it's an Iranian-American guy.

Does anyone else leave a console game running on their TV for more than 30+ minutes while they go do something else such as eating, browsing the web?

Nah I can't stand to do that. I don't even like to leave them running for minutes in my absence.

Speaking of consoles, I found an image of this online today:

Awesome.

Nah, I always find a point to stop or save. My brother will leave his console on for hours at a time without playing. Also there's someone on my PSN friend list that literally never shuts his system down. I have no idea why, but he does. :?

Totally depends on the game for me. Some games I'll just leave idling while I go do other things, especially online games with spectator modes like Counter Strike. Also older games with awful save systems (or newer ones like Dead Rising).

Sometimes I've done it with the Wii U but I keep forgetting to turn off the sleep timer so it shuts itself off after an hour whether I want it to or not. :lol:

On that note. I told myself I wouldn't go down this path. I told myself I was done collecting. Turns out, the Wii is really fun to collect for. Help me.

Oh yeah, having alot of fun with my Wii, it makes it x10 better when its modded and you can play ALL 8 and 16 bit games on emulator, and some 32/64 bit.

The Genesis Plus emulator for the Wii is fantastic, plays Sega CD games great, so i can play Snatcher, and Popful Mail with no problems.

I somehow lost the ability to play backups after I upgraded my Wii to 4.3 using bootmii or whatever the hack is called, even though I installed the IOSes and all the hacks. I even did multiple hacks.

I guess I will have to hard mod it, I hope they still sell chips for the Wii. The question is who will mode it though

Yikes. And I thought my Char's Red Custom Gamecube was rare + pricey. Holy shit.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Wish i could look at it, not sure what you mean by lost the ability to play backups, i use CFG USB Loader with priiloader for my Wii backup games.

I used the letterbomb method to install the HBC and i started with version 4.3.

Hard-modding just seems unnecessary, especially when you could find another Wii for like $50 or less. Probably sell the current one.
