The Wii lineup looks pretty wiik, but I'm digging some of the Genesis games, esp. Golden Axe. It'll be interesting seeing how SimCity ports over from the SNES version as well. I played that game a ton as a kid.

Sweet! Golden Axes and Phantasy Stars FTW! I only ever had Phantasy Star 3 for the Genesis and never any of the Golden Axes.

... and where is the new Mario game, Mario Party, Smash Bros., and Wario Ware. Those games are the main reason I'm getting Wii!

I'm gonna be all over that Genesis collection.
I'm excited for Bonk's Adventure, Sonic and Gunstar Heroes on Wii. I never played the first or the last, and old school Sonic is always good times. |
