When I said "worthless clones" I was more referring to the NOACS and SNOACs etc; I hear the SEGA PBC is very accurate. Does anybody know, how does the Super 8 handle the FDS and Famicom audio? I hear it can run an FDS, but how well? Any known incompatibilities? You can indeed use the Famicom Disk System on the Super8, I have done it. Also, for FDS and regular FC games, the sounds is accurate. I played all the way through the Japanese SMB3 with no problems.. and if the sound was off in even the slightest I definitely would have noticed.

Well, first came the VCS or Atari 2600, which is what I grew up with, we had one when I was only 3 years old. Next came the Intellivision II. I remeber the day very clearly that we got our ColecoVision. It was a warm sunny summer day, I was 6, my mother and I were garage sale-ing. I remember looking into a big box and seeing a bunch of 2600 games, so I got excited. When I dug in, my hands hit this gaming system that was neither an Atari, nor an Intellivision. I had to have it! The whole box was only $35! Pretty good for the time. It came with the expansion module 1, several 2600 games, and about 8 Colecovision games, including Lady Bug, Mr. Do!, Cosmic Avenger, and Donkey Kong. I grew up with the three best consoles ever made, and still have them in my colection

The NES games work pretty well on the Super 8. The cool thing about it, is that you can play NES, Famicom, SNES, and Super Famicom games with it. There are some Famicom games however that do not emulate perfectly on it, and sometimes suffers from lines scrolling down the screen or discoloration.

Actually, according to what I have seen, they will be releasing NES and SNES classics in 3D. So not only will you probably get to play Metroid or Super Metroid, but they will have a 3D depth to them, I think thats pretty neat. I want some classic Megaman in 3D! If it is $300 though.. no sale. I'll wait to get a used one.

Why would they release a incomplete game (Super Mario FX)? Why would they release information or screenshots of a product that they don't intend to release? I could see Star Fox 2 seeing the light of day someday (Much like Ura Zelda did on the Wind Waker preorder disc). But with the Virtual Console's lack of Super FX support with the SuperNes emulator, I'm sure it won't be on the Wii. Home to their long time fanbase if anything. But who knows, maybe the "previously unseen development" that is on the 25th anniversary disk will include some screens of Super Mario FX. I am just very curious what it would have looked like.. how they could have pulled off a 3D Mario game on the SNES. Star Fox II would be nice, just because the game was nearly completed. It was only dropped because they were so close to the release of the N64. It could easily be released on disk with say.. an upcoming Star Fox shmup for the Wii? Or maybe in my dreams..

Just made a decent score on the bay. For $12.62 + $6.99 sh, I got the whole LOGO package, Smart Basic, a blank DDP, Buck Rogers, but the biggest reason I bid on it; DRAGONS LAIR! I have always wanted to play the ADAM version of the game, I was really impressed by videos I have seen, but never thought I would have a chance to own a physical copy to play on my own ADAM. Now if I could only get ahold of Super Donkey Kong/ Super Donkey Kong Jr.. (wouldnt it have been funny if they had published a "super" mario bros.? )

I really want Space Patrol.. But rare homebrew or not, I simply cannot justify spending that kind of money on a single simple little game. Its beyond me. Well.. just glad I have some homebrew in my library.. if I ever need to turn a quick dollar.

Haha, I guess we all fall victim to wanting our library built up. How is Two World by the way? I picked it up for like $10 @ GS but have yet to try it out. Must be half decent if a sequel is planned.

Thanks I certainly will....errrr have. *Puts hand on forehead* ..I shoulda noticed the 2009.. Im gonna slowly back away and head out of this thread lol. But really, which did you end up liking better?

What the hell is so strange about the concept? They did it with all of their other games. There is already a DVD collection that has cut scenes from WarCraft II, Diablo, Diablo II and StarCraft. This is not at all surprising. I might even buy it if they made some extra scenes to tie all of the cut scenes together to make an actual cg movie. Thats pretty much all the Final Fantasy movies are anyway.. or Beouwulf for that matter lol.

Yeah, but thats not a beta or unreleased game, it just wasn't release in the US. I mean games that never made it out the doors, that were in development but got dropped near then end. There was a huge line up of SuperFX2 games that dropped because of the eminent release of the "Ultra 64", such as Comanche (and Statfox 2/ Super Mario FX).

Totaly agree with you there. They could really take some advice from XBLives game room. The virtual arcade is a pretty cool concept. This could easily be done with the mii's. Where you could intereact with other people's mii's that are online and "walking" around through the arcade, and even play with them.

Wii shoulda come with a controller like that in the first place

Because they sell the 4 titles in their NES incarnations for a total of $21, compared to the typical $8 price point for SuperNes releases. They don't want to devalue the NES releases by selling this for $8 and they surely don't want to triple the price of a Virtual Console release by upping the price to accomodate this title. Selling it as a physical disc is letting them get this out there at a proper price point that doesn't kill sales of the NES titles, doesn't make people that bought the NES titles feel ripped off that better versions are being made available for a fraction of the cost, and offers customers something more of value for their $30 then just a download. You can justify it all you want, but I think it is kind of lame to just re-release All-Stars as the 25 anniversary. I have all of those games on VC alread between NES and SNES, I have it for the actual SNES and I play it all the time on my portable SNES. I have the rom on ever hacked console I have, and on my computer.. If I buy it, it will merely be for colectors sake. But they really could have thrown together something slightly flashier with updated music, and maybe a couple extra games and some other features. Bahh. *EDIT* Ok, I take some of that back, it comes with a soundtrack, a book, and "previously unseen development", which I really hope includes anything from Super Mario FX development for the SNES. It was in development for years before being dropped. Some peices of it went on to become Super Mario 64.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will see if I can find these on Ebay. Is Doom 4 being released on the Wii also? Doubtful, but believe me, I am every bit for being able to play Doom on everything possible as you are! I know if your not afraid to have your Wii modded with the HB channel, there is a HB Wii port of Doom that you can use the Wiimote with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVkAiWYMJew You CAN play Doom and Doom II (Doom II port is WAY better) on the Game Cube if you get ahold of the GBA ports of Doom, and the Gameboy Player for the GC. You can go full screen with it too

Not even talking about 3rd party titles, because I could see where licensing restrictions would get in the way, but what about releasing official info/ pictures or a playable polished Star Fox 2? Or Super Mario FX? There is NO rom or screen shots from Super Mario FX out there, yet it was in development on the SNES for year before being abandon and changed into Super Mario 64. Just a thought.. I know people would go crazy over this stuff!

It really all depends. What kind of a challenge are you looking for? What kind of game envoronment do you enjoy? They both have pros and cons to consider. Fable II was an easier game, which I enjoyed, it was being able to easily beat this game the brought me into modern gaming (up until Fable, the only modern games I had played were games on the Wii like NSMB, Mario Kart, Mercury Melt Down etc). The environments are pretty, and it is a pretty fun game. But be warned, once you beat the game, own everything, and have completed most of the side quests, it can lose its replay value pretty fast. At most you can play the game four times, man/woman, good/evil. You can probably pick this game up for $20 or less by now. Fallout 3. Excellent, in depth game.. but the one flaw (imo anyway) is everything has to be brown. Its that damn modern game brown thing. Brown sky, brown ground, brown facial hair, brown buildings.. I just can stomach it. I mean, I understand its the post apocolyose, everything is dead and polluted.. but would it really hurt to have more than one primary color on the screen at once? Either way, you can easily score both games for under $20. So $35-42 for both games, still $20 less than one new game. Try both of em.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I do like the stuff on Arcade, but I was reffering to full boxed games. I forgot, I go have Mass Effect, thats a great game. I like stuff that uses a lot of color.. I cant stand all of the "brown" games out there these day. Thats why I am iffy on Fallout 3, it looks really fun, and probably is a good game (I love the whole post-appocolypse thing), but the color scheme kills me, all brown and muck green. I think thats why I enjoyed Fable II and Mass Effect so much, those games were afraid to use more than one primary color on the screen at any given time. I already have Dragon Age for the PC, both Awakwening and Origins. Cool, I'm going to check out the suggested games and hopefully pick out a couple. One other question.. I was thinking about selling my 360 and some games to get the newer slim model with built in wifi. Is there a great reason to get the 250g model over the 4g? I hate how they did it like that... how can you go from 4 gigs to 250?? It should have been at least 80 & 250g models.

Nice!! Check it out http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/167533-my-custom-modded-snes-consoles/ I did recently did a LOZ mod on an American SNES. I dont know why they chose such bland color scheme and boxy design for the US SNES consoles.

I'm always here for the artwork aspect. I also have a lot of well thought out creative ideas. It has been one of my dreams since I was a kid to design the graphics and box art for an Intellivision game, since after all, it is my favorite console (or at least very closely tied with the VCS). If you have not seen my work already, feel free to check out the link in my sig, or wait for upcoming releases from CollectorVision. I think soon I will brainstorm, come up with a plausible, original idea, and "story board it" with illustrations. With games like Thunder Castle and Tower of Doom, and home brew/ demos I have seen like Space Patrol and Castle.. a lot is possible on this great and under appreciate console.

So my library for our 360 is pretty short, only consisting of Fable II, Oblivion, Two Worlds, Devil May Cry, Red Dead Redemption, and pre-ordered Fable III. Good games, but weak library. I am in need of some fun, creative and imaginitive games, as well as some good two player titles. Me and my wife mostly enjoy fantasy and action adventure games, but I am alway down for a good race, a fight, or anything creative. Although one of my favorite games of all time is an FPS, Doom, thats about where my love for FPS games stop.. no call of duty for me. The only duty I'm calling is to the bathroom. What am I missing out on? Thanks!

I have taken apart and cleaned my CV without removing the label. As 5-11under stated, check the link. Congrats on getting a CV. If there are three systems I charish most of all of my consoles, its my CV, VCS, and INTV. The CV was ahead of its time, I will never forget the day I got mine when I was 7. We got Cosmic Avenger, Mr. Do!, Lady Bug, and Donkey Kong. And boy did I play me some Mr. Do! and Donkey Kong on that thing!!

Oh yeah, forgot about the Pac Man port for INTV, it is one of the best. Looks and sounds just like the arcade, and has the cut scenes. I have to admit though, it is much more enjoyable if you have a joystick adapter.

Thanks! I am proud to have gotten to work on the art for this game in particular. I have always heard rumors about the game, and now we are going to have our own dungeon crawler for the CV/ ADAM community, that is awesome. I really wanted to come up with something that summed up the title of the game, and feel like I acheived that. I was worried it would not be finished in time, and though it was fun to work on, I am releived that it is finsihed! Too excited to play this game! Can't wait for the release
