| 5049 | Virtual Console Thursdays | i'd certainly like to play turbo-grafx games on the 3DS. bonk's adventure anyone?<br> | Benjanime | Nov 08, 2013 |  |
| 5048 | Virtual Console Thursdays | So, does no company own property rights to the TurboGrafix-16 hardware then? Not that I can ever imagine a scenario where someone would make a cheap console that plays those games, but just out of curiosity...<br> | Vaporman87 | Nov 08, 2013 | |

| 5046 | Remembering DZ Discovery Zone. | I grew up with 2 places like this there was a Discovery Zone on one side of town (Which last I checked is now a Dollar Tree) and on the other side of town was a place called FunScape which was connected to a movie theater (and last I saw was still blocked off however I think everything is still there) Both were fun and I can remember the zipline they had and letting go and falling into the ball pit below like I was Indiana Jones.<br> | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Nov 08, 2013 | |

| 5044 | It's the End of an Era of video rentals | No matter where technology brings us, I think there will always be a handful of video rental places in town. We have 1 left, Silver Screen Video. It's a little privately owned place that's still kickin!<br> | vkimo | Nov 08, 2013 | |
| 5043 | Virtual Console Thursdays | Week of 11/7/2013:<br><br><b>Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console:<br><br></b>Wario's Woods (NES)<br>$4.99<br><img src="/images/postImages/w4.jpg"><br><br>A simutaneous release on the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles? Holy crap! I did not expect that at all. I wonder if they'll do the same thing when Super Mario Bros 3 comes out. That's a game that's also been announced on the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles.<br><br>Anyway, I always enjoyed Wario's Woods. Some of you may know about the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW2np8AHFrU">review</a> I made a few years ago. In fact, when I was recording the gameplay footage of it, the music drove my sister to the point of insanity that she started to hate the game. For that I say, tough break to her.<br><br>Personally, I wish Nintendo would release the SNES version on the Virtual Console service. It seems like Nintendo only releases the NES version, and never the far superior SNES version. We got the NES version not only on the Wii Virtual Console, but also as an unlockable NES game on Animal Crossing. The NES version is still good and I like that the 8-bit charm of it, not to mention it had the honor of being the last game in the NES library. I just wish the SNES title would get more love from them.<br><br>Also, speaking of the Virtual Console service, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata brought it up in a recent Q&A. It's no secret that a lot of people, including myself, feels that the Wii U Virtual Console is pretty weak so far... and Nintendo's president achknowledged it with this statement:<br><br><h5 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3,"tn":"K"}">"In terms of taking greater advantage of our previous assets, I feel that there are two points to consider. As we first began to do on Wii, one method would be to release games for our previous consoles, such as Nintendo Entertainment System or Super Nintendo Entertainment System, on other Nintendo consoles as Virtual Console games. While Wii U and Nintendo 3DS already offer Virtual Console software, I feel that we have not been able to take full advantage of our assets yet, so we would like to enrich our Virtual Console lineup..."</span></h5> To the best of luck, Mr. Iwata. Though, my main concern is more about how the Wii U Virtual Console has done almost nothing but release games that's already on the Wii Virtual Console, while Japan and Europe has been getting far superior releases. In America, the lineup ranged from average titles to occasional classics. The closest the Wii U Virtual Console got at full force is Earthbound for the first time in almost 20 years.<br><br>Plus, the Wii U Virtual Console has been a step back from the Wii Virtual Console. The original Virtual Console not only had games on Nintendo systems, but other classic game systems like the Sega Genesis, Turbografix-16, and the NeoGeo. Although, we're probably never going to get the Turbografix-16 again due to Hudson being out of business. Still, the Wii U Virtual Console is all NES and SNES games. The announced a while ago that games for the N64, GBA, and Gamecube are also supposed to arrive on the Wii U VC, but Nintendo has said nothing about them since.<br><br>The 3DS Virtual Console, on the other hand, is fine for the most part. My main concern about it is that we seem to get more NES games on there than Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Game Gear titles. Though, I do wish Sega would not only include the Sega Genesis on the Wii U Virtual Console, but also include the Saturn and Dreamcast while we're at it. Ah... but that's probably not going to happen.<br> | blueluigi | Nov 08, 2013 | |

| 5039 | It's the End of an Era of video rentals | I'm not surprised. People have turned more to Red Box and On-Demand services these days. :(<br><br>We didn't have a Blockbuster in my area for too long. It bought out a local video store we had called Crazy Mike's Video. It's since closed. And our last video store we had, called Star Video, just closed down this July.<br><br>The one thing I really miss is being able to rent video games the old fashioned video rental way.<br> | chrisno51 | Nov 08, 2013 | |
