    What are we going to do
    Where is the money going to come from?
    Skyward Sword
    Mario 3d
    Cave Story 3d
    Halo remastered (ok maybe just me on that one)
    Crysis
    COD 3
    Battlefield 3
    Forza 4
    And not including the game I have yet to finish, games I haven't bought yet that came out over the summer...

    I am a man in some distress!

    Here's a good articel about how 1995 changed gaming by Kat Bailey:

    http://www.gamepro.com/article/features/224494/my-definitive-year-in-gaming-1995/

    Also Ciderman do you really want Halo Anniversary? It's the same game but slightly prettier, with all the flaws and all.

    But yeah I think it would be cool to do. I guess because I'm the one who brought it up I'll be the one to organise it? No problem at all sure.

    Me too!
    Thinking of trading in the now completed Portal 2 against Skyward, the golden Wiimote plus looks great, even though this will probably be the only game I'll own on the Wii that'll use the thing!
    What is it with the Wii?
    So much potential, as showcased by Ninty's output, Galaxy 1&2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, 3rd party stuff like COD4 are pretty great, Madworld, Xenoblade, lots to play.
    But frak me, the amount of minigame compendia, enough to send a grown man into a locked room alone with a bottle of bourbon and a revolver!

    Must cheer myself up!

    Getting the Wiimote Plus however will tempt me to pick up Red Steel 2 which I heard is great and they are practically giving it away in the shops at the moment.

    DS Shovelware syndrome unfortunately. I'd like a Wii but I don't know how expansive the shooting game library is. I'd get the Milestone Collection series and Star Soldier R but that's all I know is available for it?

    Any Darius games available for it to tickle my ovaries?

    Not really but there's plenty on the virtual console but I'm pretty sure you've already picked up the likes of Air Zonk, Lords of Thunder, Gates of Thunder and the like for the PC Engine.

    Son,
    We are going to have a serious, serious chat about the anatomy and physiology of folks, and the manifold differences between men and women.
    Discussing your ovaries is one thing, but unless you carry someone else's around in a bucket with you, you haven't got any.
    Like Sera hasn't got access to a prostate, unless you can count Retr0's ;)

    Can't see myself buying anything off the virtual console again after getting burned when my Wii died and losing all my purchases.

    I can't see myself doing it since I hacked it with emulators :)

    On another note I picked up the 10 euro soldering iron from aldi. Time to ruin some consoles.

    I can see business for EnterNow increasing 200% because of that Aldi soldering kit some of us bought. :pac:

    This springs to mind:

    Nope. Don't have those yet, I really would like Tatsujin before any of those. Though they are on my wish list.

    Wii has the incredible Star Soldier R though. Reason to buy a Wii alone I think! :)

    Please don't. We had enough trouble with all the other forums being created that ended up dead and then finally reaching a compromise with the console forums thing since it was killing discussion. There's no need to dilute discussion further with more dead forums. The only reason for these forums to be made is to support big online communities like the fighting games community, minecraft or CoD.

    Yeah splitting the category into anything other than big topics is a recipe for disaster! Used Nintendo or the regular games hub. Heck, even here :P Good people and discussion on all of 'em! Don't risk losing some of them by creating a dedicated forum. Participating in the TV fora can be a bit of a disaster because the place is so segmented.
