Wii Virtual Console - Ghosts'n Goblins, Pokémon Snap and gifting

By Gamewatcher on December 10, 2007 3:34 PM | 2 Comments
The big news this week for Wii Virtual Console is that now you can gift downloadable games to members of your Friends list. And there are actually some new titles worth giving:
  • Ghosts'n Goblins (NES) - $5
  • Pokémon Snap (N64) - $10
  • Baseball Stars 2 (Neo-Geo) - $9
There's also an optional update to the Photo Channel, which you should probably decline if you like playing MP3s. The update limits you to AAC music support, but in a weird twist Nintendo has published a FAQ that details how easy it is to downgrade (as long as you don't buy a new console now with it preinstalled). It's both strange and oddly refreshing, since game hardware makers typically commit to a change like this and then block any user attempts to resist it...

I have just a few random comments. First off, "weak sauce" hilarious I have not heard that since High School! Overall I like the sites new scheme but what is the picture of? It kind of looks like an 8-bit superman to me (see his little red cape?) Finally, I always like the mini-logos that appear next to a bookmark. Many other sites have them, (yahoo, fark, pvp) if this guy is your logo maybe you could make a mini version of him.

I myself never heard "weak sauce" in high school because it hadn't been coined yet - that's how long ago it was... but it's an apt description of Folklore. There are a few redeeming qualities, but so far they're far outweighed by what is bad.

I'm still playing with the site layout. My consulting business is keeping me pretty busy, but I hope to work on it quite a bit in the next few weeks. My first order of business is to restore what was on the old site (sidebar content, improvements to the entry pages) and then I'll do some innovating. Thanks for the suggestion!
