Interesting fact; Contra on the NES was released on the GB under a different name. I think it was Probector 2 or somesuch, very much future-ified. Just watching a speedrun of Contra earlier, realised I knew the level design off by heart.

Naturally, it was dumbed down as a GB game, but most of it is identical.

(Q)_< Ok, what was the point of changing the name? I would think the popularity of the first (it was popular right?) would be an incentive not change it...bah Im a fool anyway

You know what's an awsome crazy game for an old system? Super Smash TV for the SNES. I just grabbed it recently because I was bored at work, and that game is insane! The first stage isn't so hard (Although Mutoid Man is a pain in the ass), but the second stage is just ridiculous.

Super Smash TV was my favourite game when I was a kid. It is a seriously awesome game.

I missed it the first time around, but I've been looking for quick games I can play at work (Something easy to turn off or pause if a customer comes in), and this fits the bill. Sit down, tear through a couple thousand baddies, and suddenly feel a lot better about the day.

The Contra series was released as Probotector in due to censoring. They couldn't have people killing people on a game so they changed all the characters to robots and gave it a different name.

In the US, the series has always been Contra.

Whow, 199$? That's GOT to be the CHEAPEST console to come out in ten years....

199$ USA dollars, Belle. For a comparison, the most common price for the Gamecube is about 150$ USA dollars.
Mighta been 199 at launch, but either way Wii isn't the lowest.

It actually saw a limited non-greatest-hits rerelease a few months ago, and I ordered it online. I don't regret it a mite.

On another note...

Elite Beat Agents Footage, for those of you who thought Ouendan looked interesting but didn't want to bother importing.

I could've told you that a while ago.

Looks like a random appearance in the item Dark (item) world esque dungeon similar to the things that randomly appear in Makai Kingdom.

150 then or now?

Because Gamecubes are suppose to be 100 dollars everywhere.

Edit: I'm pretty sure every Nintendo console has launched at 200 dollars.

While the numbers were unsure, the message that the figure of 200 not being an all-time low in the money system it was meant as still remains.

Nono, you see... I was giving proof that this game will rock to others. Given NIS's track record, to me it's rockage is a forgone conclusion.

Actually, it might be argued that when considering inflation and things like that, the Wii is the cheapest console not by sole dollars but by relative value.

But that'd be a stretch.

Edit: FF3 for DS is coming November 14th.
