I was able to play Geometry Wars for the X360 last week, actually (there was a Microsoft X360 "campus tour" event or whatever, with consoles to play)... I played it for about half an hour and managed a best score of 115,000. Which was more than twice the previous high score on the system, 53,000... not sure if that was the only system with the game on it though, but I think it was.
I felt like with a bit more practice I could have done a lot better than that... I'm pretty good at Robotron-style games. :)
Anyway, while I wish I could say otherwise, I suspect that once I get a Wii and have money for VC games I will buy some of them, including some I already own... I know I won't be able to resist, despite how strongly I dislike the CC controller for Genesis and N64 games and how badly I think they failed the design of the CC controller...
