28007	Virtual Console Thursdays	Week of January 14, 2016:<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wii U Virtual Console:</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div>Metroid Zero Mission (GBA)</div><div>$7.99</div><div><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7d/Metroid_--_Zero_Mission_(box_art).jpg"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>For many people, Metroid Zero Mission is considered to be the holy grail of GBA titles... and especially now since it's relatively expensive online. I actually might consider this one though. Normally, I don't like how Nintendo is always re-releasing some of the old SNES games (and in a few cases, NES games) for the GBA... and the third party games like Super Ghouls N Ghosts, Contra Advance, and Sonic the Hedgehog were worse than others. Metroid Zero Mission on the other hand is a really enhanced remake of the original Metroid. Imagine playing the original Metroid, but mixing it with the gameplay and control from games like Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. </div><div><br></div><div>Personally, I still find Metroid Fusion to be a better game. But unlike other games remade for the GBA, which are usually weak ports of NES and SNES games... Metroid Zero Mission is one of the very few times during the GBA era in which I personally believe that the remake is better than the original. The NES Metroid game, in my opinion, has not aged that well. Zero Mission has a lot more of that feel that we've grown to love for the Metroid series... and that's why I recommend that game being the first for newcomers to play instead of the original NES Metroid.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, Nintendo is hosting a Winter Warm-Up sale on the eShop... a three week sale with themed discounts for each week. This week's theme is "Awesome Action"... and there are some Virtual Console games included in the discount. For the Wii U Virtual Console, F-Zero Maximum Velocity, which is normally $6.99, is now $4.89. Ninja Gaiden, normally $4.99, is $3.49. Mega Man Battle Network, normally $7.99, is now $5.59. And last, Sin and Punishment, which is normally $11.99, is now $8.39 (best deal out of all of them. Sin and Punishment is an amazing game, and the $8 is a great deal).<br><br>The only 3DS Virtual Console game that's up for discount is Mega Man Xtreme. Normally $4.99, is now discounted at $3.49.</div>	blueluigi	Jan 15, 2016

28005	Last Movie You Watched	Uncle John (2015)<div><br></div><div>6/10 Drama starring John Ashton(Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run). This was ok but not as good as i thought it would have been from the description. It took a while to get going. When i saw the name john ashton i recognised it but i was thinking of william hurt for some reason when i was trying to think of who it was but after a few minutes i realized who it was.</div>	Jrs1991	Jan 15, 2016
28004	Cloverfield is Getting A Sequel	Not sure if I'm into these movies which make it appear to have been filmed by amateurs with camcorders. If I wanted to watch them I'd go see my home videos instead.	Linux_Sage	Jan 15, 2016
28003	Cloverfield is Getting A Sequel	Thats cool for fans of the whole lost footage genre and of the first film. I don't think anyone was expecting this, so its really a cool surprise. I'm not a fan, but I'm sure there are a lot of excited people out there.	massreality	Jan 15, 2016

The late 2000's saw a trend of unwanted sequels from older move franchises. You would of thought this would of died out by now, but I guess not.	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jan 15, 2016
