Also, fuck you EB Games!

I bought SO many of my NES games there at 99 cents a pop... and now I'm getting around to removing the stickers, 10 years later. WHY did you put price stickers ON the artwork so often? It's damn near impossible to take the stickers off, especially not without leaving residue. Then you're like "Welll shit, how am I going to get the residue off?" and the answer is -- YOU'RE NOT! At least not without doing at least SOME damage to the artwork. Siiiigh. So long story short, my ESPEEEENSIVE games are keeping their residue.

You can get it off without damaging the label using a hair drier and GooGone. Works pretty well.

I've even been able to take "permanent" stickers off DVDs this way.

Yes, sticker residue can be removed even from the cart labels if you spray the goo gone on a paper towel and then wipe and rub it off. The glossy labels seem to withstand the chemical.

You do need to be careful about the edges of stickers though, as it'll soak in pretty readily there regardless of lamination.

Can I buy some one's Wii VC's library ? Like people buy steam accounts that has games loaded on them already?

Or is each account tied to a specific console? because I heard VC library is transferable to Wii U's

You'd have to buy someone's Wii that's already loaded w/ VC games.

The downside of buying digital I guess...
If for whatever reason your Wii fails, your whole collection goes down with it

You gonna count the Neo Geo X? Cuz if you mod it to read from SD card, that'll be it. Kindasorta.
The built-in Neo Geo X games + Ninja's Masters + the Mega Pack = an incredibly solid library of Neo Geo games.

Too bad the Mega Pack and handheld itself are still so overpriced.
