Hi guys, long time no see! I'm going to do my best to make it to the show again this year. Hope to see some of you there. -S

I don't need more than one GBA. My SP is still good as new, so I don't see me buying a micro. -S

As long as Nintendo keeps making Mario platformers, I'll contunie to buy, play and very much enjoy them. They're consistantly among the best platformers in their generation. I have no interest in Mario Kart, Party, Tennis, Baseball or whatever, but others enjoy them and I have no problem with that. If a sequel to Luigi's Mansion comes out for the Revo, I'll be among the first to buy that one. Apart from the NES, the current Nintendo system was never my only console per generation, but I've always bought one, and always enjoyed it. -S

So why did you buy it? $23 isn't much, but it's more than I'm willing to pay for anything that I know in advance is going to suck. -S

Sadly no. I am at work. -S

Yes they did, although they were larger than that iirc. -S

Well it is possible to remove a label with a solvent like Undo and then glue it back later. However the masking tape and the crooked PCB would lead one to believe that the surgeon in question wasn't quite that meticulous. Maybe it was a transporter accident. -S

I love the looks of them but 1)They cost too much and 2)They aren't playable. -S

Skip the GG and get a Nomad, this goes double if you already have a pile of Genny games. -S

I threw a lot of quarters into RallyX as a kid. I still play it pretty often on my MAME cab. Hard to believe that it never got a console release. -S

I agree with you there. It's very easy to be shot while inside a building or behind a wall. I guess that's a feature and not a bug, huh? -S

Every single FPS on the N64 makes me sick after about 30 seconds. There's a lot of gold to be had though. Mario 64 is worth owning the system all by itself. -S

I didn't even know a sequel was in the works. I'll have to keep my eyes open for this one. -S

I own lots of both. -S

I'd love to see someone make a game that gives you the freedom of GTA, but adding in the puzzle solving of ICO and leaving out the over the top violence. -S

I've played ICO through a couple of times and do not recall it freezing at all. -S

Yep: http://www.localarcade.com/arcade_art -S

I'd like to see a game that is a perfect blend of Tetris, Grand Theft Auto, and a game that I made up where you throw mudballs in the air and try to get them to land on your head. -S

A lot of sequels mentioned here. I'd like to see something new that make me say wow the way Katamari Damacy did, or even just a new good puzzle/adventure game of the likes of Beyond Good & Evil or ICO. I guess if they have to be sequels, then put a 2 behind the three games I just mentioned. And despite the fact that tis post comes off as me being very anti-sequel, a new Maniac Mansion would be outstanding. -S

BYOAC - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com Outside of Mos Eisley you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany, but most of us there do know a thing or two about arcade machines. It's also a much more newby friendly board than KLOV. -S

Not complaining. Simply pointing out that many here seem to have developed mistaken impression of how this controller is supposed to work. It's okay with me if you still think it sucks, I have no problem with other people having opinions that do not align perfectly with mine. I did the underlining thing to draw attention because I posted something similar yesterday which seemed to go unnoticed by the crowd who seem to be picturing themselves running around their game room wildly flailing both hands around over their heads. -S

I bought a gold Majora's Mask loose for $10 a few days ago. -S

Agreed. I love my little toaster, but it's much less headache to play NES games on my Dreamcast. -S

I couldn't disagree more about 3D platformers. They're personally my favorite genre (don't worry, unlike some others here, I will make no attempt to crucify you because our opinions differ). It sounds to me that you may not be using the camera control to it's full advantage. Many jumps that look difficult or even impossible become easy with a quick camera adjustment. You just have to find the correct angle for each jump. To me, camera control is an integral part of the 3D platformer, and adds an incredible amount of depth. Not that I dislike 2D platformers, they remain a big favorite of mine as well. -S

I'm still amazed at how many folks seem to still not "get" how this thing works. Read the reviews. You DO NOT have to hold your arm out in the air. Every single review I have read said that it works great with your hand resting on your chair arm or your leg, same a s with a regular controller. It apparantly works with very small, very subtle wrist movements. For the love of mike here, guys, do you also bitch because you have to move your thumbs to operate a conventional controller? -S
