Nintendo Downloadable Games takes a step in an AWESOME direction

I think the shopping channel wil have to add a new menu option, because this new game isn't really a "virtual console" emulation of the ol' Atari 2600 (has Nintendo made one of those yet by the way?). It's really more like what we see standard on Live Arcade, a full remake of the old Impossible Mission, hopefully this time it'll actually be BEATABLE (hint: the original Atari 2600 release, due to a bug in the game, was literally impossible, making this game the most amusingly aptly named game in history). I hope to see a lot more of this in the future so the Wii can finally get it's own specially controlled answer to MS's Geometry Wars (I play that game all the time, and GR you need to get that pacifism award, and DMiller are you even going to GET any decent games outside of some basketball on that thing, and DJ when are you going to actually PLAY some of that Enchanted Arms, and MS are you ever going to let people download Hexic HD off of Live, or do those poor souls who accidently deleted the free gift on the HD have to just live without the game forever with no way to restore it?).

Now if Nintendo can hack it with the online crowd in a workable way, they will be playing with the big boys at last.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit down to my new favorite cereal.

It's pretty good, you will, er, should, try it.

Commodore 64 computer, not Atari 2600, DJ. Not that it really matters.

Anyway, it is a good sign... though every time they do this it makes the problems of how small the amount of space you have for stuff in the system a bigger and bigger problem. That's the only place you can put things and then actually use them, after all.

Sounds good. Remake, so here's hoping for more errigonil starff.

wonder if its worth it...

Don't worry DJ, I plan on getting more games for 360. I just won't spend $60 on them. I actually just got Super Paper Mario so it's slowed down my 360 play.

I love how the newest "win a free thing" sites pretend like they are some "casual person" just wanting to "help" you.

The first games are already cheaper. Might I suggest PD0?

Perfect Dark 0? Eww...

I think that game was under rated. I enjoy it. Not as good as the first, but still pretty good. We need more real objectives in FPS games. There's too much just running around from point A to point B. My point is if I had fun, it must have been a good game. Pfargtl.

Oh, and I have to also say, if it's a game you've never played before, it doesn't matter how old it is... it's new if you haven't played it. That is, I'll bet that there are a bunch of games on the VC that you (anyone with a Wii) haven't played before, some of them quite good... new games on VC is good too, but old games that people don't own are just as good I'd say.

[Dark Jaguar]

I agree, I like the VC, but new content is even better because no one has ever played it so it's new to everyone.

I want PDZ.

I want PDZ, and laptop guns, and fuck the jetpack bullshit.
