not to be a Debbie Downer, but the GCN version is way better than the Wii version unless you like awkward motion controls...
I haven't played the Gamecube version. But I like that Link is right-handed in this "mirrored version." :D

Plus, it has Widescreen support.. which is kinda nice

Meh, it depends on the person as I didn't find the controls bad at all. As a matter of fact, it's more enjoyable than the Gamecube controller. I may pick this version up along with Resident Evil 4 as well...

It makes aiming much faster, easier and more accurate.

It plays great on the Wii.

Probably not, I find that generally using the Wii motion controls for just about any game in the entire library is much more annoying than fun. I haven't played Zelda with them, but it was very grating with RE4 and Okami. Liked them a lot more on PS2.

I like RE4 on the Wii, haven't tried Okami. Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands (for Wii) works fine w/ motion controls, I think it's pretty fun. ...But I have tried some others where motion controls super sucked....

This Week~!

Image
Atari 2600 games - $2.00
Haunted House
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi: Death Star Battle
Laser Blast
Fire Fighter

TurboGrafx-16 games - $2.00
TV Sports Football
Takin' It To The Hoop
Not particularly great games, but TG16 games are hard to find in the wild.

SNES games - $3.00
Road Runner's Death Valley Ralley
Super Mario World
Super Mario All-Stars

Image

PS2 games - $2.50 (pawn shop)
R-Type Final
RPG Maker II
Secret Weapons Over Normandy
Frequency
I was mostly interested in R-Type Final. I had never heard of it but Secret Weapons Over Normandy is from the team behind X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and includes those vehicles as unlockables so I grabbed it too. Since they sell 4 for $10 I got RPG Maker and Frequency for trading purposes.

Game Gear games - $2.00
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - complete!
Probably the most common Game Gear game out there, but I wanted the box!

Genesis games - $3.00
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Every knows how great these are. And two of my favorite and most wanted games, found in the wild! Radical.

and this thing...

The Aura Interactor, if you aren't familiar, is "Virtual Reality Gaming Wear". It is a big chunk of plastic with a subwoofer in it that plugs into your SNES, Genesis, Jaguar, 3DO or TTI (?). After about 10 minutes of Mortal Kombat II with this on I was in intense pain and nearly vomiting. I can't imagine why these weren't more widely adopted. Paid $6.00.

If you wear it and use the Sega Activator at the same time, you'd be the coolest person in the world. :wink:

Include the menecer along with them and you might tear a whole in the fabric of time.

Be careful :D
