        How is Golden Axe? Does it still hold up after all this time?

            So far, I've downloaded Sonic, Mario64, and Mario Bros. Good times. Its hard to believe Mario Bros. is 20 years old.

                Yes it did. I played some boxing and worked myself up to wolf form in Zelda. Not to mention some Sonic.

                  Did Wii break your TV?

                  People aren't getting a grip on Nintendo's new system.

                  By Mike Smith
                  29 Nov 2006

                  Picture this. You're lining up the perfect shot in Wii Bowling, remote in hand. You set up the shot, swing the remote with all the strength you can muster, and... follow through a little more than you intended.

                  Somehow the remote leaves your sweaty-palmed grip and bang, smash, there goes your TV, window, photo of your granny, anything that happens to be in the path of the newly liberated remote.

                  Hold on, though. If you're wearing the (supplied) wrist strap, no harm done, right? So you'd think. As you can see, some Wii owners are finding the strap decidedly lacking. (Check out nascent site wiihaveaproblem.com for more strap malfunctions.) The problem isn't with the amply broad strap itself, but the considerably narrower section that connects the strap with the remote, which is prone to fray in some circumstances. The result is smashed remotes, smashed televisions, smashed windows, and unhappy (or, at least, somewhat red-faced) customers.

                  Teething hardware troubles are hardly new to the world of console launches, especially in the last year or so. The Xbox 360's original overheating issues are well documented, with the first production run of consoles suffering what is generally regarded to be an unusually high failure rate. We're even hearing the start of mutterings about overheating issues with some brand new PS3s. But it's probably the first time a console's design has lead --albeit indirectly -- to quite such a catalogue of destruction. To its credit, Nintendo appears to be happy to replace the wrist strap in some circumstances, but if there really is an underlying design weakness, then it needs to be addressed before an unfortunate (or worse, sue-happy) bystander gets beaned by a stray remote.

                  Sure, it's easy to laugh at the misfortune of these hapless Wii'ers, especially if you're still combing stores for miles around looking for yours. One broken strap could be regarded as misfortune, but as the volume of fractured straps grows, it starts to look more like carelessness -- or, at least, evidence of a lack of real-world testing.

                  In the meantime, wise Wii owners will want to consider hunting round the house for something a little stronger -- or waiting for one of the more opportunistic peripheral manufacturers to cash in on the opportunity to flog reinforced replacements at an inflated price. That's business.
                  LMFAO!!!

                    They're just reporting that? Its been posted several times I believe. Still funny though. I haven't had a problem holding on to the controller yet, lol.

                    Anyway, Super Mario 64 is still just as much fun as I remember. Its the perfect "pick up and play" game. Brilliant.

                      Some good new about the possibility of Goldeneye coming to Wii.
                      I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

                        Can you play Gamecube games with the Wii classic controller?

                          Yes you can, but not all games will work with it.

                            I didn't see anything on the Virtual Console that I was interested in. I may pick up the NES Zelda or Mario 64 at some point, but the other titles didn't interest me at all.

                              Candy, where can I read somewhere that confirms this, I've asked in like 5 different forums and all say something different.

                                Only thing I'll be downloading from the current batch is Sim City. I loved the old version.

                                I need Punchout!
