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. |

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. |
