So Matt, what games are so fabulous on the Wii?

-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

-Super Mario Galaxy

-Super Smash Bros. Brawl

-Mario Kart Wii

-A Boy and His Blob

-Little King's Story

-Sakura Wars

-Metroid Prime 3 (haven't played it, but it gets great reviews, so you would probably like it if you like Shooters.)

So the Wii doesn't have any good games, huh?

Nope.

I don't like those sort of games. LOL

Except Mario Kart.

Not to mention the Virtual Console, which let's you download classic games (including MK64) for 5-10 USD.

Maybe, but the impressive thing is that Brann Daylor does that while being one of the best drummers with his sticks in metal.

Or you could just get them for free with an emulator. Or you could just find an N64 for cheap.

I agree that the drumming is amazing per always, but the rest barring the opening is underwhelming for me. It's still a pretty solid album, I just do not see/hear what's so great about it.

If I got a Wii, I'd get the Metroid Prime trilogy.

Emulators are for losers.

I thought ROMs were a little bit illegal. And I still have my N64.

Having a SNES emulator is the only way I've been able to play Earthbound.

I tend to agree.

The last track isn't even making my foot tap. The others were a little.

Did you see my comment earlier? I have come to the conclusion Sizewell Tea is better than Sensible Shoes.

Well, I will admit that I'm okay if you go out of your way to use an emulator to play that game, because it is hard to find and the best game ever made.

Although I still have a real copy.

Ah, I had been leaning that way myself. I still like Sensible shoes a bit better, but I've been liking Sizewell Tea a lot more each time I hear it. Need to listen to that puppy today in fact.

The penultimate track especially is juicy; a wonderful avant track. Plus the more I hear Heroes the more I love it. I do wonder if they just accidentally went into it or whether they had practised it beforehand. It just sounds like they went along for the ride.
