Mitch’s WiiWare and Virtual Console Collection (thus far)

Comments off · May 27, 2008 at 7:28 am · Hot Web Topics, Personal

I still have a little more room on my Wii for games, but I am coming close to having to ditch some previously downloaded titles for some new ones.  Give me a couple more months, then I’ll join the chorus of people asking more disk space on the Wii (either via the SD card or by adding an external hard drive).

Here is my WiiWare and Virtual Console Collection so far…

• Super Mario 64 - Childhood memory, spend many an hour on this game.
• Sonic the Hedgehog - Never had a Sega, so thought I’d give it a shot.
• Sim City - Seems to be slower than I remembered.
• Contra III: The Alien Wars - Awesome fun, but really hard without a friend.
• Super Castlevania IV - One of the best Castlevania games to this day.
• Super Mario Bros. - Who doesn’t have this one downloaded?
• Internet Browser - Handy to check Gmail and Google Reader on.
• Mario Kart 64 - Fun, might might not make the cut if I need the room.
• Kid Icarus - Another (never played it the first time) game but happy I have it now.
• Everybody Votes Channel - Removed it since I only checked it out once or twice.
  
• Splatterhouse - Gory fun, but still lacks something…
• Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream - Fun boxing fun, where did Mike Tyson go?
• Castlevania - Maybe it’s just me, but this is really hard!
• Super Metroid - Could play this one forever, over and over again.
• Super Mario Bros. 3 - Best multi-player Mario game to date.
• Check Mii Out Channel - Removed it too, due to never using it for anything.
  
• River City Ransom - Reminds me of a bad 80’s movie in a good way.
• Defend your Castle - Well worth the $5 spent on it, and highly addictive.
• Dr. Mario Online Rx - I needed a puzzle game, and Dr. Mario delivers flawlessly.

Anything else I should check out?

 

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Endings

Comments (1) · March 2, 2008 at 9:14 am · Personal

I haven’t seen many of these for a number of years, the very oddball and sometimes rather goofy endings to Street Fighter II.  Poor Chun-Li just wants to be a girl, Blanka meets his mommy and Zangief dances with Gorbachev.

Also, yep - as a warning this video will spoil the endings of Street Fighter II for you.  Then again, if you haven’t beat it by now with at least somebody I am probably doing you a favor.

 

Video Game Desktop Wallpaper

I love video games images, I think the old NES and SNES days deliver a lost art that you just don’t see with today’s video games. Plus I guess there is some nostalgia wrapped up in my feelings about it too.

If you want to cover you computer’s desktop with some video game levels - time to visit desktopgaming.com.

They have content from just about every old video game system you can think of and honestly I could spend hours just browsing through the images. Right now I am using the World of Ruin map from Final Fantasy 6 but later I know I must at least try to have the 1st level from Super Mario Bros.

I just wish somebody had a better world map (I want the whole thing) from the Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past. Want to make your own? They have a tutorial that will teach you the ways.

Many props go out to Todd for finding this jewel.
