You guys ever play shinobi for sega? That was a sweet game. Sega's other system the Saturn also had an amazing game called "Nights into Mystery", I'm thinking of buying a saturn off ebay just to play that game....

Supersillyspacemonkey, what do you mean? does the wii take cartridges?

Snes had an amazing game library, Super Metroid, Paper Boy, Mortal Kombat were all boss...

there's a huge rumor that nights into mystery may be released for the wii virtual console.

Let me explain the concept of the virtual Console a little better then the other guy. Basically you walk into your local gaming retailer, and buy some wii points ( 1000 points is 10$ I believe) and a game will range within 500 to 800-900 points. You go home, turn on your wii, and go to the shop channel, enter the code on your points card, and your amount of points will be updated (note this can be avoided with a credit card.) You then go in the "browse games" category, choose a game you want, and download it, if you have enough points for it. Then go back ot the main menu once its downloaded, and you will see it appear. Click on it, and play.


there is only currently a limited amount of games released for it, however every Monday (Friday in europe) several classic games are released for it, and Nights is one of the rumors titles.

The other big rumor for nights is having a straight out sequel for the wii.

Wow, that's a pretty cool feature they have developed for the Wii. Initially I was thinking of buying a PS3 but it seems like the wii is the all round better system....

Nights into mystery is such an awesome game, getting a sequel on Wii would be unbelievable...

i installed alot of them on my school computer since all the internet sites are blocked there. but the administrator deleted them

All true, but the new Sonic and the Secret Rings on the Wii is a big step back in the right direction.

Nintendo has really pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the Wii. As many Wii's sold in Feb as Xbox and PS3 combined...

you guys are on crack, The Dreamcast is Sega's best console game wise by far.

That must be why they released so many consoles after it... It was released too early...just like the sega saturn...
With both those consoles Sony came out with the playstations a while after and kicked their asses.

Anyway, for nostalgia.

My favourite Snes games:

Darius twins, donkey kong country, turtles in time and Street fighter 2.

For the NES you can't beat super mario bros 3.

[vulgar]

i miss those days dearly. when video games were simple. now there annoying and complicated.

[SylvesterStallone]

You got a point, simple but immensely enjoyable with a high playability factor. Jesus I think I played Turtles in Time and Street Fighter 2 for over a year without getting bored!

Turnover rate for newer games are definitely higher imho...but I guess for a more tech savvy and advanced age group, they have to up the complexity of the games. Kids today are far ahead of where we were back then....

Sly, the Wii keeps the remote and gameplay simple in comparison to the Xbox and Playstation controllers. You can do a lot with the Wii remote, obviously, but it's very intuitive..

I'm not much of a gamer, I grew out of them by the time I was 14. However, the one game I got into recently was Manhunt for Ps2. Holy crap this game rules, there are hardly many games with edge or the kind of violence as this game. Rockstar doesn't pull any punches with most of their games, and this one is no different. The stealth, the suspense and the kills you can employ are great. The game is also rather long and fairly difficult to be honest. The last level is near impossible, took me a long time to beat the game.

To those who haven't played it, it's a game about a guy put on the street by a snuff producer who has to recover items (if i recall correctly) in the worst areas all while being part of a snuff film where everyone from prison inmates, skin heads, trailer trash, etc are trying to kill him. You start with no weapons and basically have to use stealth and tactics to recover weaponry and proceed through the levels.

It has great suspense, the music and feel of the game is very gritty and nihilistic, my heart almost leapt out of my chest a few times during the game.

Yeah that's what I've heard so far. Man the wii sure is getting some serious props on this thread...
