That was back in the day when anyone could make a game about anything and have it be fun.

Yeah, Uniracers was such a fun game. I loved pulling off tricks. Leave it to Nintendo to make unicycling cool.

I went out last night to buy a points card JUST so I could get Super Metroid. I bought Metroid and Devils Crush last night too...

Aug. 20, 2007
You've longed for it, you've begged for it and now it's finally here. Nintendo's Month of Metroid continues with today's release of the ultra-classic Super Metroid® for the Super NES®. It's one of the many teasers to whet your appetite in advance of the Aug. 27 release of Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption for Wii™. You have a full week to dive into Super Metroid and explore the other great new games added to the Wii Shop Channel: Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master™ and Neutopia.
Three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Pointsâ„¢ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
Super Metroid (Super NES, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Violence, 800 Wii Points): The Space Pirates, merciless agents of the evil Mother Brain, have stolen the last Metroid from a research station, and once again Mother Brain threatens the safety of the galaxy. Samus Aran must don her awesome array of high-tech weaponry to retrieve the deadly Metroid hidden deep within the cave-riddled planet Zebes. Super Metroid features excellent graphics, with a huge variety of enemies and worlds to explore. The side-view action will be familiar to many players, only now there are new weapons and items, including the Grappling Beam, which allows Samus to swing across large chasms, and the X-Ray Scope, which reveals secret passages.
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (Sega Genesis, 1 player, rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older – Animated Blood, Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): In this thrilling sequel to The Revenge of Shinobi, Joe Musashi finds that Neo Zeed – the crime syndicate he believed he had wiped out two years earlier – is indeed still alive and well. The return of Neo Zeed and its leader, the mysterious Shadow Master, forces Musashi to return from exile and confront the growing evil. As the Shinobi, the master of long-forgotten Oboro Ninjitsu martial arts, Musashi must utilize all his powers to overcome his various enemies. Thanks to his considerable combat skills and special Ninjitsu moves, only the Shinobi can thwart Neo Zeed and vanquish the Shadow Master.
Neutopia (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): In this action role-playing game, you take control of a brave boy who sets off on a journey to rescue the kidnapped princess and reclaim the eight medallions that were stolen by the evil demon, Dirth. You'll need to rely on your magic compass and information you've gathered to find entrances to labyrinths and defeat the bosses in them. Solve puzzles, avoid traps, move blocks and destroy walls to uncover secret rooms in the labyrinths. Carefully use your map to uncover hidden treasure and powerful equipment. Travel the land, underground, sea and sky on your quest to recover the medallions. With a save function, the right difficulty level and a system that doesn't include experience points, this is truly an RPG that anyone can enjoy.

I got stuck at this point in Super Metroid on my SNES copy and gave up. There's a room with spikes on the ceiling. It locks you in there. I don't have speed boots yet, and the ground below disintegrates before I can get across. If I do the hop jump trick, I hit the spikes. :-(

I downloaded Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario World.
I haven't even touched a Wii game since downloading these. I'm really liking the classic controller as well.

I like watching Mario and Luigi hit the coin boxes while it downloads the game.

The ninja koopas make buying Paper Mario worth it.

What are people's thoughts about the Wii classic controller?
I personally really like the feel of it. I like the position of the buttons and thumb sticks. Nintendo did a really good job of incorporating the look and feel of the SNES controller but still making the games for the other systems easily accessible.

I want to use the classic controller on every console ever.

I prefer the Gamecube controller for 64 games and the classic for everything else. The Wii remote itself turned sideways feels very good for NES games, as well.

Why not just go buy the Sonic Mega Collection?

What are they going to do about the lock-on thing?

I have a feeling they won't bother.

Sonic 3 without Sonic & Knuckles is fucking useless.

Got a points card yesterday, and downloaded Super Mario World. I never really realized how much Nintendo changed that game in the GBA port.
