Also when you guys buy Wii Points, do you just get 5000, or get like 2000 to stop yourself from buying games you might not play again? I guess it all depends on your self control, but im still interested in what other plays buy.

I originally was given a 2000 pts cards for X-mas and since then have made sure I only bought in 1000pts at time.

Games I've bought:
SMB
Legend of Zelda
Donkey Kong
Gradius
Legend of Zelda LTTP
Super Mario World

Since then I said I was only going to buy SMRPG, SMB3, and possibly Metroid.

Wish list: Dragon Warrior 4, Shining Force 1 and 2, Tecmo Super Bowl, Punch Out.

Yea im definitely going to get Link To The Past, as i was a Genesis kid.

I buy 2000 at a time, otherwise I end up buying games that I dont have time to play.
Right now I have around 7-8 of the essentials VG games, and so far I have only had time to play Donkey Kong and Mario Kart.

I had never played Kid Icarus as a kid so i got that. Pretty fun game so far, but is it me or is this game harder then most other NES games from the same era?

Gamespot mentioned the difficulty in their review and I'm inclined to agree, even though KI was one of the games I loved the most growing up. But as I'm playing through it again, it does seem like some of the level designs are just mean.

I finished it over the weekend. I was a Genesis owner as well, and had only played this game when I rented a SNES for a week, and then again on a ROM a couple of years ago. Even then, I considered it my favorite game ever. The VC version only solidified that opinion.

Playing Ocarina now, and while fun and more immersive, I'm already of the opinion that it has not held up nearly as well as LttP. Probably because its play has been refined by WW and TP, where LttP is the pinnacle of that style.

Does anyone know if you can use the VC controller for GC games? I got a VC controller because the GC one doesnt work for all VC games, and im going to be pissed if i need to get another controller.

[Soul Daddy]

No, you need a GC controller for GC games.

[4 High]

Do i also need a GC Memory card? Or can it store to the Wii or SD?

[Soul Daddy]

Yeah, you also need a GC memory card. I imagine if I hadn't owned a Cube these developments would have pissed me off as well.

[4 High]

Ugh, i found Smash Bros and Metroid for like 20 bucks total on clearance, and i was like sweet this rules. Add in a memory card and Wavebird and its like buying a full priced game. ARGH.

The Wavebird will work with the GC right?
