AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The fifth Gen was the first set of consoles to come out during my lifetime, but the first console I actually owned was the Gamecube towards the end of its life (I got the Pokemon XD special edition one in 2005). I mean, I had the GBC and GBA SP before then, but those were handhelds.

Nintendo actually put the analog stick in the center because they felt that other developers would be uncomfortable with the new control scheme, so the d-pad was set to the left side.

holy shit, I didn't realize they were that cheap.

yes let me just spend several hundred dollars on a system that is older than I am and the game cart to go with it

So the Wii U virtual console just launched...

Woo, time to play a version of Super Mario World that isn't all squished like the Mario Advance series or on an emulator!

Extra Credits did a video which perfectly sums up my feelings towards "graphical capabilities": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oK8UTRgvJU This is the reason why I believe that Wind Waker and Super Mario Galaxy are nicer-looking games than nearly 90% of the games for the PS3 or 360, despite only run...

Wow, it's not like they found a different solution for that in 1975. That's the WiiU's real problem, it has nothing innovative, just a semi-useful gimmick.

0/10 poor trolling

try again and hand it in next class for partial credit

Sometimes I look at the people complaining about how you can re-buy Virtual Console games for the Wii U at a discount if you own them for a Wii and I wonder if they even read what was being said.
