But I thought eliminating, or at least greatly reducing piracy was one of the main factors behind pushing for digital distribution in general. If piracy is just as shitty on the iPhone, and the PSP Go is cracked soon (which is on track to happen, not that anyone even gives a shit about the Go), do developers still want to move away from hard media?

I don't own this, but thought many could use this link.

They also make many more controller adapters.
The reason I like this site is because their adapters always let the mode button work, unlike Retro Zone's (old?) adapters.

Thanks for the link. I might get one of those genny to usb adapters.

I have the 4 in 1 Adapter, the Genesis Part only does 3 buttons

[Jesse813]

It might come in use if I ever get a Wii

I have the 4 in 1 Adapter, the Genesis Part only does 3 buttons

Which is why this adapter I've posted could be much more useful.

[KnightWarrior]

I would like the 4 in 1..but 2 rants

1. the Super NES sides read the Dpad as the Analog Pad, I don't know why they did that
2. Genesis side is only god damn 3 Buttons, even with the 6 Button Pad...WHY

I just want a PS2 to Gamecube adapter. So I can play "Metal Slug Anthology" without stupid fucking controls.

I read the message I got from Nintendo stating that if you bought the Internet Channel for 500 wii points that you'll get a free NES game. I was wondering if this applies if you gave it as a gift to friends because I gifted the Internet channel to two of my friends and I was wondering if I'll get a 2 NES game for free form this and will I get "refunded" for two or just one (if I do).

[Knuckle Duster]

As far as I know the deal ended on December 31st and you're out of luck entirely if you didn't redeem it yet. What it did do was allow access for the NES shop with every game listed at 0 points.

The link for it was in the shop channel, at the bottom of the screen IIRC. As for multiple refunds, no idea.

I don't feel like creating a thread for this, but it bears mentioning so I'm putting it here.

New Club Nintendo prizes!

I already ordered Game & Watch Collection 2. I cashed out for the first one last year and I've been saving my points ever since in hopes that they'd release the follow-up for us 'Mericans. Finally my wait is over (aside from the 4-6 weeks for delivery part, at any rate).

I recently had the experience of playing some sports games on a Wii and I can't figure out why a "current gen console" has jaggies on all of those sports games? The games 'sure' were fun though... Nintendo got that much right.

Is it a limitation of the Hardware or does it depend on the Game?


I also heard that the box only comes with a Composite cable and ONE freaking controller... wtf... why doesn't it come with at a minimum an S-Video cable and two controllers?




thks

[Knuckle Duster]

Because it's not a PC.

/Thread.

[Waterfaller]

That and consoles haven't come with 2 controllers in... gosh, a decade and a half now? I never understood that.

Anyhoo, yeah, I gotta say, jaggies is something I've noticed with Wii games. There's this device that upscales the Wii's graphics with HDMI upscaling.

It would be nice to see actual screen shots though, rather than a camera pointed at a TV screen. This device COULD help smooth out the jaggies a bit.

[Xeniczone]

It's probably because of the hardware limitations. Even the PS3 and xbox have games that aren't AA, but the problem that your having is the Wii isn't HD. So your TV scaler upscales it, and most built in scalers are BS.
