so who plans on getting the Wii system to play all these games?

i plan on getting one

Word, right here :) Wii!!!!!!!

something island was fun too. the one where u r the cave man and u collect those dinosaurs

Hudson Adventure Island. I think there were 4 of those games.. didn't collect dinosaurs until the later sequels.

River City Ransom, TMNT, Contra, Mega Man, Tetris, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear, Adventures of Lolo... I can't list them all, there are just too many.

or was it somthing cobra...

Close enough... Cobra Command. Another classic.

And I need to get my hands on a Wii controller before I make a final judement. If it actually debuts at the rumored $199 I might just go for it.

-THE DON

I am definitly in, they will have aftermarket non super gizmo controllers available most likley :)

CAVEMAN GAMES!!! (speaking of cave men, in one of the events, you get to swing your cave girl around by the hair and see how far you can throw her!)

TMNJ Arcade

Bad Dudes (B,A,Down,Up,Down,Up,Start)

There were actually a lot of tight Data East games.... Bad Dudes is another.

Can't forget Castlevania. Oh and Kid Icarus!

-THE DON

Contra, Blades of Steel, Zelda

Zelda
Punch Out
Karate Kid
Friday the 13
Rygar

and one "western" game.. where you were a cowboy.. and you walked up the stages.. collected loot and bought weapons.. rode a horse.. and fought bosses at each end of the stage... don't remember the name...

I am definitly in, they will have aftermarket non super gizmo controllers available most likley :)

i too, am worried about the playability of the contollers, but i recently learned for most of the games, you can hold the controller sideways and use it with both hands so maybe it'll be alright.

has anyone else heard this rumor i heard at a party last night that old sega genisis games will be downloadable too?

Dragon Warrior - All of them

You will be able to download the top Sega Genesis games as well as the top Hudson Soft games :D hopefully a lot of other 3rd parties will sign on to having their games be downloadable too. But of course at a price

Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Off-Road! best game evar!

Battletoads was a great nes game

Man I miss "rock and roll racing" Were you keep upgrading cars! The best part was the fastest best handeling was a freakin hovercraft *LOL* man those game designers were.... smmaaarrrrtttttt

That was a great game too but it was a Super Ninitendo game....and nothing beats Mario Kart

sorry guys, but its all about duckhunt.....

I find it a bit interesting that so many people loooved duckhunt, because it was one of my least favorite games of all times. sorry! :)

I KNOW you guys didn't forget Trojan! :silly:

-THE DON

its too bad we will never see a Battletoads game for the Wii. Since MS bought out Rare, and Rare still owns the Battletoads rights. But then I wouldnt think itd be the same even if they released a new one. Cuz most of the people at Rare left when MS bought them out, to form a new company Free Radicals. Gotta keep the lookout positive though, one day :)

I remember the days of bad english translation. Like in the original Metal Gear when the guards say, "I think I feel asleep.". :P Anyways here are some of my favs in no particular order:

Metal Gear, Golgo 13, Castlevaina, Rush 'N' Attack, Bases Loaded, Pro Wrestling, Double-Dribble, Kings of the Beach, Burgertime, and Contra. There's more, but I can't think of them right now.

How many controllers did you guys go through? :rofl: I must have broke about 4 of them.

Rampage!

BURGERTIME! :doh: Ugh I hated that game! Sprinkling pepper on your enemies! Oh God! lol


How many controllers did you guys go through? :rofl: I must have broke about 4 of them.

I had 2 regulars, 1 Nes Max, 1 Nes Zapper, 1 Nes Advantage, and yes.... even 1 Power Glove (which my dog chewed to bits). Never had that running mat thing.

-THE DON

^^But remember; your enemies were pickles, hot dogs, and eggs! :rofl: :rofl: I guess it was kind of like using Pepper Spray. It blinded them temporarily. Best part of Burgertime is when you run out of pepper and press the pepper button. That sound effect is priceless! I too had the Power Glove. Dumb thing didn't work for me.

That running mat thing was hot.....i always cheated though and used my hands HAHAHA

Cant forget about Double Dragon

god dang i hate to do it.....

Lore, so shut up about the repost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us)
(btw, i love wi's synopsis)

sorry guys, but its all about duckhunt.....


How could I forget Duckhunt. We played that when I was in college and lived on campus, and that's just been a couple of years ago.

Ok... So who can name THIS game.

-THE DON


I used to love that game it but I forgot what it was called...

Blaster Master, Bomberman, or Q-bert, anyone?

NES and SNES had the best games...

the new ones are just graphically better and some a little TOO realistic..

^^^^ That was Cobra Command.


Here's another example of the great storylines from back in the day.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president from ninjas? :eyebrow:
:rofl:

-THE DON

^^^

holy moly.

^^^^ i remember that game because at the end on every leval there was the horribly inaudible line "BAD DUDES" that would scare the ____ out of a lil kid who wasn't prepared... lol, the sh!t we remember
