The saddest part is that some Nintendo employee is going to read this and be like 'OMG that's genius!' The most likely candidate: Need For Legal Speed Limit. I've already seen a game called (i kid you not) 'LEGAL Street Racing' (Not for the Wii mind you).

What hath Wii wrought?

I agree with helix92, you should have added Trish. If you're good, she dies and tells you how proud she is. If you're bad, she dies and basically calls you selfish. And (SPOILER) it turns out that Cole from the future made it all happen.

also, I lol'd at the pic of Travis Grady. Silent Hill Photobomb!

The last time I hooked up my NES it didn't work, and the last time I hooked up my SNES the only game that would play was Mario Kart.

For some reason, I forsee the Wii sharing the same fate

The Robotnik one is pretty classy.
The Che Goomba one reminds me of the flash animation The People's Mario for some reason

2 months 12 hours ago on QOTW: What's the first game you bought on your own?
I don't remember if its the first, but the one I remember most was Mario Kart 64. I was so psyched about that game and I saved my allowance for something like a month and a half or something. After I bought it I would always put the cartridge back in its box and wouldn't even let anyone touch the box unless I said they could.
Of course, eventually, the box got flattened and the cartridge it collecting dust out at the family cabin along with the N64.

How could you forget James Pond?

Kudos for including Mohawk and Headphone Jack. I rented that once in my early, impressionable youth and the only thing I remember is that you had to collect CD's. I really don't remember anything else. Except that he was technically naked 0.o

Also, watching the video for Havoc, I couldn't help but feel like sections of that stage are lifted right from Green Hill Zone. Shame, that
2 months 19 days ago on Why the Dreamcast was different
I only ever rented a Dreamcast from our local game store, Gamer's Edge. It came in this wicked metal suitcase you see in the movies and the foam padding inside was custom cut for the system. I only remember playing Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur with my dad but we had a lot of f un with it. I was a total Nintendo junkie tho, so I refused to buy anything not made by Nintendo, a decision the Wii made me wholeheartedly regret.

3 months 9 days ago on QOTW: What's your favorite N64 game of all time?
Road Rash 64! Road Rash 64! I cannot count how many nights me and my friends would stay up all night playing that game and killing ourselves laughing (especially on the Insanity Bikes). And not just that, my parents actually got into it too and so a few times the three of us would stay up late and rotate controllers for racing. I mean, honestly, how many games are out there that you can SPOKE JAM A BIKE GOING AT 300KMPH WITH A BANANA! Seriously, they could just remake this game with ragdoll physics and some new graphics and that would be fine. Or, oh I don't know, just release it on the Virtual Console.
