To change the theme towards the end of the other thread... I personally am fired up about Metroid Prime 3!!! I'm going to get Metroid and Super Metroid on the VC today and next Monday respectively and then Prime 3 the week after that. I love Metroid month

I own this: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-1s1r.html
It's got every version (including English where available) of all six Wonder Boy/Monster World games except for the PCE/TG16 variants. One of my favorite series of all time.

I'm not sure if anyone here is still waiting to get this game, but just thought I'd share - I was at Best Buy this afternoon and saw that "Godfather Blackhand Edition" has been marked down to $29.99. I checked a few sites online and they are all showing the same price. I think I might pick this up this week.

It was great but the sequel, Devil's Crush, really took video game pinball to a whole new level at the time.

I was curious if it's worth 500 points?
Thanks for any input!

I don't know if it's worth 500 points (I got it when it was still free), but it's a pretty decent browser if you want to play flash games and such on your Wii. I would wait until you have a compelling reason to use it.

Apparently the new update has something for "Nintendo 64 Cartridges," whatever that means. I know Nintendo had a survey on their site some time ago about a GameCube adapter that played N64 carts.. could this be related to that in some way or is it just tied into the Virtual Console stuff? Considering that imports may never make it to the VC, I'd probably be dumb enough to buy an adapter so I could grab the imports of Bangai-O and Sin and Punishment!

I can't imagine they would release an adapter to allow you to use/buy-used N64 carts that they get no profit from when they already have the VC delivery system in your house.
But if it does say "Cartridges" I can't think of what else it would mean. I just wish there was an N64 controller adapter. I'd rebuy my N64 games and get rid of the system if I could play that way. But, of course, that wouldn't have anything to do with system updates.
Is this under the parental controls now like the "user communication" was last week?
