    I wonder if Nintendo will bring back that "Short lived" Japanese import library they'd once sorta had? Did anyone cared for it though it was they're fault for bringing out those boring titles that no one really cared (except for Sin & Punishment) other than that it seemed they didn't gave two shits imho.

    Rondo of blood? maybe but i'm talking about the more, more obscured titles that either had fan translations or games we've been waiting on a translation for quite awhile e.g Rent A Hero, Panorama Cotton, & Yuyu Hakusho Gaiden etc..

    PSN has a few obscure imports on it too. Part of it's Charm. the first 4 Rockman master works, (Hoping 5 and 6 show up soon) Zanac X Zanac and Gaia Seed are all gems I picked up on PSN Recently and I'm eying Cho Aniki.

    The VC doesn't really appeal to me because of price gouging. I could get the Real cart for less than what they charge for most of those games and Sin and Punishment, I actually have the Cart So there goes that killer app there.

    You're misunderstanding GoH.

    GoH has a mental deficiency. He's like that 7th grader hanging out with high school seniors who develops extreme opinions on what he perceives to be the hot topics for the seniors.

    For instance, his Nintendo nonsense is a direct result of the general gaming populace whining about the Wii/Nintendo reusing IPs/hating on the Wii U because the Wii was successful. That's it. He has no opinion of his own, he just adapts whatever he thinks is popular and then makes his opinion a caricature of that.

    You will never get an intelligent response from him because there is no intelligence there to formulate such a thing. Therefore, worthwhile conversation is impossible. That is, you can write a well-reasoned response asking what is wrong and pointing out the logical flaws in his comments (as you did), but the most you'll get in return is a whiny response about how you're on the ignore list (and then he'll reply to you a few weeks later to remind you of this).

    Just an FYI. :)

    Discussing with GoH is a downward spiral. You attempt logical reasoning for a while, but regardless of what you say, every reply will bring you closer to hit an inevitable state of rock-bottom frustration and disappointment once you recognize that it is simply not possible to talk to this phenomenon.

    It's like a fire in a frying pan: Just wait until it's over but don't touch it or it'll burn you.

    Mario Kart Wii. Also, ratings lie all the time: Dead Rising, Sonic Rush and Perfect Dark Zero, anyone?

    You and 7force are the only two allowed to argue with me here.

    Mostly because I don't hate you.

    By the way Ave that may be the nicest thing you ever said about me :p

    Those three games weren't actually bad. Certainly not perfect, but not bad at all. You don't like Mario Kart Wii but you cant deny the people who enjoyed it that it wasn't fun

    Thanks for the advice. I, however don't get frustrated over comments, I just look at ridiculous hating more like childish annoyance. I'll just ignore it after all. No point in having actual intelligent convos with such. As expected from a typical Sony fanboy since they're all alike and I have much experience with them. Thankfully , I don't get burned from overheated frying pans. I'm at least smart enough to put on oven mitts

    Sonic Rush with its terrible level design (just like all Dimps Sonic games) definitely doesn't deserve the Metacritic score it has. And does anyone in the entire world except Rare employees and Greg Kasavin actually think Perfect Dark Zero is worth a 9/10?

    Nintendo is doing a Servey. http://spr.ly/6031Z9fc

    I think it goes without saying I took the time to Tell Nintendo exactly what I think of them.

    I think it goes without saying that whoever reads these will be laughing their ass off at your stupidity.

    I played sonic rush, I didn't find anything wrong with the level design. Not my favorite sonic game but I did beat and enjoy it. I completely agree with you on Perfect Dark Zero however. 9/10 is ridiculous especially since it pales in comparison to the original despite having better visuals. It wasn't that bad a game, it just didn't have that magic the first one had. I would've gave a 6.0-7.0. Keep in mind though, the reviews were high because it was the beginning of the 360's lifespan and it was the hottest looking thing at the time so I can see why they gave it a 9.0 initially. But over time, especially after you've beaten it fully, it had absolutely no replay value. I feel the same with GTAIV. It felt so awesome playing it for the first time but it got dull real fast. Thankfully the ballad of gay tony made it better but ultimately, GTAIV didn't stand the test of time. Same thing with Vice City. GTA3 GTASA I still love no matter how many years pass by. I'm certain GTAV will be amazing

    How exactly is there price gouging in the Virtual Console? Are you implying on the fact that Nintendo actually takes into consideration of the state tax and adds that to your purchase? If so, wake up and smell the roses man; Sony does the exact same thing at least from what I recall. If not, I don't see how Nintendo is "price gouging" because the games on there I feel are evenly priced for anyone looking to pick something up off the eShop and play it for fun for the first, second, or even millionth time. I'll use a clear example here:

    I bought Oracle of Seasons on the 3DS eShop for 4.99 plus state tax bringing it to about 6 bucks. Sure, it's not the physical Game Boy cartridge I'd love to own to add to my handheld collection but at least I don't have to spend upwards to 20+ dollars just for the game cartridge which has to constantly be maintained to keep it working. The eShop has done wonderful things with their pricing that will more than likely bring the physical game cartridge prices down ever so slightly. Earthbound was just released on the Wii U eShop and we all know expensive that game is. Your standard game carts play a big game of business: if there is a demand for the game then the prices will rise, and if there is no demand because it is out by other means necessary that are considered to be legitimate, then prices fall. This is basic business practices that almost every single company and the collectors follow by. It's not like one morning, someone woke up and said that X game is worth Y amount and it was set in stone. There are underlying factors that are taken into consideration like rarity, MSRP when X game was originally released compared to now, and further more, about making a profit while adding it to another's collection. Do I always agree with the prices of downloadable games on an online market? No, I don't. I don't see how a game like Animal Crossing New Leaf is only 34.99 whereas a game like Shin Megami Tensei IV is worth 49.99 but I get past it because Nintendo and its developers albeit first party or third party are a company and they deserve every cent that is given to them for the hard work they pour into games that you and I get to play. In the long run, you are saving yourself money by buying games on the eShop if you think about it. Why would I want to pour 300 dollars into a game like Earthbound when it is on the Virtual Console for roughly 9-10 dollars? I get the idea from a collector's standpoint not having a tangible copy that you can display on a shelf but not everyone is made of money in this day and age. Nintendo is providing a service that millions of people use to buy games when they first come out and I don't see how they are "price gouging" anything. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and some people like myself have to work for a living at dead-end minimum wage jobs to afford bills and have to consistently juggle entertainment and establishing a credit for your future all at once. I'm not saying this to put you down in defense of Nintendo thus making them out to be perfect; I'm saying this as a common person who loves to collect video games much like the rest of this community who might be in the same situation that I'm in. All it takes is a little commonsense and rationale before making a comment. You might hate Nintendo and that is your opinion which you are entitled to, but it doesn't always mean you are right.

    VC games are expensive as hell compared to what other digital distributors are offering for the same price: just look at the same price ranges on GOG.com, they are, for the most part, much better value for money and that's not even taking into account their sales. I'm not a big Steam fan, but whenever they have sales you can get current gen games for around the same price as one NES/SNES ROM on VC. You also have to take into consideration that all these ROMs for ancient consoles are easily downloadable for free, and VC has no or virtually no benefits compared to the ROMs and emulators you can get for free (in fact, most emulators are much better feature-wise than the simplistic VC ones).
