Yes. I already have SoR one and two. I feel SoR was the best trilogy and games for the Megadrive next to Sonic of course. As for Sin and Punishment, I actually really wanted that game for the N64. I couldn't wait, it was even on my Christmas list, however it came out when the N64 was on it's last legs and I'm not even sure it came out in the UK at all. I never saw it anywhere at least. So I am really happy it's on VC.

One game I'm looking forward to is Conker's Bad Fur Day for N64 to be avaliable on VC. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask wouldn't be a bad addition either.

They need to continue on the channel section of VC. They only have 3 things there and I got all 3.

Defiantly behind you on Conkers Bad Fur Day, although there may be an issue with the games age certificate. Or maybe not at all lol.

There could be, but that's why they have Parental Controls under the Wii Settings. By the time they would add CBFD, I'll be 17, old enough to get an M rated game.

But about the parental controls, it's either the first or second page, and they work pretty good too. I only know this because my sister was getting on after I went to bed and she was doing stuff without my permission. (it's my Wii, I bought it) This all just means that the parental controls should solve the game rating problems.

I think it was still called Revolution at the time, just to give you an idea of how far back this was.

It was either Miyamoto or Iwata. One of them said he didn't like how games were confined to the box of a screen and wanted to take them outside of those confines.

Ok, I get it now, but... I don't have an empty wall or projector screen anywhere in my house. So if they did go with projector ONLY, then it would be smaller than my tv which isn't that big.

It wouldn't just be a projection. There are other ways to break out of the confines of a TV screen.

Such as... this!

The only way I can see a Wii not using a TV is if you buy a projector personally. Then you'd have to get the wireless sensor bar for it. Other than that, it seems like if Nintendo did put a projector in it, the system would be a lot more expensive and a lot larger than it is now.

Oh, I know. If there was a projection screen, then I still would've hooked it up to my tv. I was just saying if it was the only way.

the sensor bar would be at the bottom of the screen. you would just have to adjust the settings.

I still would prefer to get a wireless sensor bar for a projector. I mean this is the wireless century isn't it? (unless you're still playing NES or something)

I still play my NES, and my PS2 which has only 1 wireless controller that doesn't work. Also, I have all wired stuff for my computer. The only thing truly wireless in my house are the tv remotes and the wii remotes.

Well we have wireless keyboards, mice, of course cellphones are wireless. I have a wireless keyboard for my Wii. And other things that aren't related to this thread. But the point is, I wouldn't see the need for a standard sensor bar for a projector screen when I could go wireless.

A mouse in plural form is mice. We have more than one computer.

There's no excuse for that. A three-week delay?

Considering this has been their track record for almost every game I've ordered from them, my business with them may be coming to a close. I might just get games that can arrive at any time, but when I've been in a shortage of games for so long, this just adds to my frustration. The site is great for DVDs, but terrible for games.

On the other side of the coin, Family Video e-mailed me the day before GHIII came out and said they shipped my package. I arrive home two days later to see it at my door. So, yeah, it's obvious that I'm going to use Family Video more often.

Did I dream that Guitar Hero 3 came or is coming out for Wii? Or did somebody really tell me... I can't remember. Even if it is for wii I still won't buy it, I'm just wondering.
