Sort of. You can stop anytime you want on 8bit and 16bit VC games and it will save your state so you start back right where you exited to the Wii Menu. No real saving in the game though.

Retro Studios needs to be given the keys to Kid Icarus now that their Prime trilogy is closed.

Yes, yes and yes!

I wonder if they'll do anything about running the games off external storage - these things ain't small. Fatal Fury is 2x as big as OOT, for God's sake...

I was reading the new EGM and they had Zak and Wiki listed in the TERRIBLE section for games at E3... I wonder what they didn't like versus what everyone else DID like.

Wow. Really? That's got all kind of positive buzz about it. I bet they filed it under 'kiddie shit we don't cover,' and called it a day.

EGM?

They probably didn't like it because it's colorful and there's no murder in it.

Yeah.. I've heard tons of positive buzz. I'm surprised that EGM is already hating on it.

I GOT A WII!!!!!!!!!!!

So I kept checking the outtastock.com website, and within minutes of it being in stock somewhere, out it was again. So after a couple of days, I saw that Toys 'R Us had gone in and out of stock, and I got the bright idea to call them. They had a handful. 20 minutes later, I had a Wii in my hands!! Already tried Tennis, Bowling, and Baseball. I suck as much in Wii Baseball as I do in real life It is AWESOME. I've never ever had as much fun with a console before. This is even better than the Wii. Within the next month I plan to buy Mario Party 8, Wii Play, and Carnival Games. The Wii is awesome.

What can I say, I'm so excited I have no idea what I'm saying I think I meant to say it is better than the DS

Let us know how Carnival Games is.

I will although it might be a month before I get it. I am getting it for sure though. Just for Skeeball. Skeeball is my most favorite game ever. Skeeball on demand... The DS gave me Speed on the go (card game) and now Skeeball on demand... :shudders with delight:

Congrats GatorDeb! More Girl Gamers is always good.

Well I've been a gamer since the Atari 2600 (have owned the Atari 2600, NES, SNES, GC, XBOX, PS2, Dreamcast, GB, GBA, GBSP, DS, DS Lite, PSP, and now finally the Wii). They're just hard to come across

Yeah I've read your posts about your gaming history before. You rock GD

As far as Carnival Games, I picked it up today as a surprise for my son and daughter. It's a minigame collection, with tickets and unlockables and all those things that I generally find myself really bored by in video games.

We played it for about four hours. It's just plain fun. There isn't a lot of humor (unless you count the carny comments, which aren't as funny as those you might hear at a real parking lot carnival) or creativity; it's simply fun. Some of the games suck, but the ones you like are as addicting as any Atari or NES game you ever played just to see if you could get a higher score.

Is it really worth $40? Seeing as how we also own Rayman and Mario Party and Wii Play and none of those prompted a straight four hour session, I would have to say yes.

*Edited to add I forgot about Wario...I personally think Wario is the better game, but my kids are STILL playing Carnival Games, so if you have kids, I'd choose this one. The only other review I could find online had a mention of the reviewers' kids asking if they could play it all night, and mine have seconded that.

I nearly bought Carnival Games today. Guess I need to get it.

Woo hoo! Welcome to the Wii club!

A game room compilation would be awesome. Air hockey (Wii Play has Neon Hockey but I want the one with the blue table with white lines and off-white scratched paddles ), whack-a-mole, shoot-the-pennies, billiards, darts, etc.

... and when a Wii is born, another one dies.


And mine died.

Disc errors plague my system. I wonder if one of my kids stuck something in it.



Now I have to call Nintendo.

Good thing it's only a little over 3 months old.

Wrong forum, moving to 360 thread...

j/k But seriously, sorry to hear it. I gotta be honest that I've been worried about playing Metroid 3 because LA has been hot for the last few days.

Fixed it.

... I noticed my SD card was missing and if I shook the Wii there was a rattle sound.

I turned the Wii to its side, popped in a GCN disc and when it errored and ejected it the wedged SD card was pushed out first.

All is well... and the Wii is being moved out of reach.

My kid free and dog hair free setup:

I still remember my son putting a fork inside my 6 disc CD changer years ago. Took me awhile to figure out why disc 1 wouldn't play.

My Wii is in easy reach of my daughter. I may think about moving it.
