Looks old-school.
We'll see...
So "modern-retro"... it's like the Cave Story of River City Ransom-like Games!
The map that greets you at the game starts SCREAMS Mario Bros. 3. --COMPLETE-- with a Green Pipe on the map!
The Gameplay starts out simplistic with a Kick, Punch and Jump button, Pressing Twice in a direction to Dash.
Coins scatter as the Baddies fall. Use those to purchase Upgrades for your Characters!
Yeah. There's multiple characters and you can play up to 4 people Locally!
So Old-School. SO very-well animated. So WELL DONE!
...Totally a Love Letter to the games of our Youth!
...and the MUSIC...
...Oh! The MUSIC...

A limited edition GOLD Classic Controller for Goldeneye! It's going to be sold in a bundle like how Monster Hunter Tri had the black one.
I want this!
I'm going to play Zelda Skyward Sword with it!
Oh wait!

Do want this game. But I have to wait until Aug. 25 to play it. Damn timed-exclusives.

But I reluctantly passed. Even though I love the series, I just don't think I can play it through again. The game is engraved in my memories forever though.
And why did I sell them in the first place? Well, that's how I got my Wii! I had to see a bunch of stuff and that was part of the trade-in deal.
It was worth it for the Wii but I did lose some good games. But I have no regrets.

Pachter might be thinking about the Modern Warfare name brand effecting sales. But we'll see I guess.
And I know there are articles reporting that Activision is pushing Black Ops as their biggest ad campaign yet.
On a personal note, there's this guy on my friend's list, he's one of my cousin's friends that I added when we were playing Modern Warfare. Anyway, this guy only plays MW2 and nothing else. He's on more than any of us and all he ever plays is MW2! It's kind of annoying and odd but I guess it shouldn't matter because he can play whatever he wants.
I just want to see if he moves on from MW2 to Black Ops. If he doesn't than that's a good indication that casual Modern Warfare players, like him, will just stick with MW2.
It's just my theory.

I feel the same way. MW1 was mind-blowing when I first saw it and played it, like when I first played Gears of War!
The sequels gave off that familiarity. But they were still fun games.
The recent game that blew me away like those is probably Alan Wake. The graphics are pretty awesome.

So no GC control support then?
You have to stop selling your games back man.
Dev #1: Should we also add Gamecube controller support?
Dev #2: Gamecube controller? What's that?
What a waste of time and money and life! You can't learn how to be good at Street Fighter! You either have it or you don't! Some people are just naturally better than most people.
And even if someone does show potential, the only way to get better is by fighting others that are better online, arcades, or in tournaments!
So many people expect these shortcuts in life and never want to work hard to earn them. They expect to just pay someone and they think they'll be good at something. It's like art. You can pay a lot of money for classes but if you can't draw it's a waste!

Activision: Forget the Gamecube controller. We're going to make people pay extra $$$ for this exclusive Gold classic controller which will be $10 more than the regular Classic Controller!
Why do we do this? Because we love our fans and we want to give them the best of what we offer!
*evil grin*

Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
Yeah. It's a self-inflicted curse and bad habit. But I did stop doing this now. I haven't sold any games recently.
By the way, I did re-purchase the DS Castlevania games. Yeah, I know. But it was worth it and I'm loving them!
