adam I'm pretty sure you can get a N64/PC adapter

[EVOLghost]

Hey atsonic. You can buy a ps3 remote(it should come with a USB charger) and there's a driver to make it pc compatible

Nintendo 64 N64 / PS2 2in1 USB Controller Adapter to PC



Quick search Adam, but they're out there. $10 for this one.

[EVOLghost]

My USB SNES controller is the shit. Makes this Cave Story game even cooler than it would be otherwise... which is pretty cool within itself.

[EVOLghost]

 

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

^ Nice! Which one?

Still playing ...

 

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

Hot damn! Check out this Ayla cosplayer!

Cave Story. Just got through the Sand Zone. I don't think I'll be doing/playing anything else until this is over.

My exgirlfriend spent ALL OF HER MONEY on costume shit and ALL OF HER TIME making it. Oh well -- the girl I'm with now is a TRILLION times better, in every way.

Anyway, I went ahead and bought bangai-o for the dreamcast!

 

Got it -- complete, with box/instructions/etc -- for $22 after shipping. Not bad, considering I've seen it go for $70 before. As many of you know, treasure is my favorite game developer of all time, and I've owned nearly every game they've ever made, at some point in my life (even rare Japanese ones like Rakugaki Showtime, a GREAT beat em up that's made of paper.. way before Paper Mario...

 

...and even the crappy as hell Stretch Panic...

 

...

[atsonicpark]

and now that I've gotten Satourne working, I'm going to be playing Radiant Silvergun all night.

 

Radiant Silvergun is basically the prequel to Ikaruga. It's finally coming to XBOX LIVE ARCADE next year, if you don't own a Saturn. A used copy usually goes for around $225 or so (which isn't even as bad as Panzer Dragoon Saga, which goes for around $600 usually).

Anyway, TREASURE is the best game company ever ever ever ever. Though, you know, Atlus and Capcom come close. For those who don't know, Treasure made games like Contra Hard Corp, Castlevania Blood Lines (Treasure used to be apart of Konami), Rocket Knight Adventures,those early Tiny Toons games, and countless others. They're responsible for Gunstar Heroes, Guardian Heroes, Dyanmite Heady, Light Crusader, Ikaruga, Gradius V, Silpheed, Sin and Punishment, Wario World, Mischief Makers, Silhouette Mirage, Yu Yu Hakusho Makyoutissen, Alien Soldier, and quite a few more awesome awesome games. Actually, I'd go so far as to say Stretch Panic is their only lousy game, and even it is weird enough to pick up if you find it for $5 (which isn't difficult to do)... you get to stretch everything... the environments, and so on... and there are gigantic fat women with shark teeth who fly around with gigantic boobs.. yes, their boobs make them fly... the game is pretty much all boss fights aside from that.

Anyway, I just bought SIN AND PUNISHMENT: STAR SUCCESSOR, as well.

 

this is for my girlfriend for X-Mas; even though it goes for $50-60 in stores, it's on Amazon.com now, brand new, for $21!!!!! So, if you have a Wii, this is a no-brainer. It's a lengthy shooter that's fun as hell. I am going to go out on a limb and say it's likely the best Wii-exclusive game ever, next to MadWorld!! Please pick it up. Treasure needs all the money it can get.

 

TREASURE!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I'm really glad people are getting into Cave Story! I played through it a while back, would love to play through it again with a decent USB controller. It's on WiiWare (another reason to get the Wii), and since it's freeware anyway, I'm trying to convince people on dcisozone.com to port it to the Dreamcast. I mean, the game is like 6mb or something, and they've ported Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, DOOM, Black and White, Sim City, and all sorts of other PC games that are MUCH larger and more graphically intensive -- so why not?

DR. EUGENE, what type of controler are you using for Cave Story ? Can you point me in the right direction/ I'll order off of amazon asap.

Sweet! I was just about to ask about this and the Dr. came through. 64 emulators are frustrating as hell with a keyboard. I gave up trying to go any further on master quest until I get one of these.

[atsonicpark]

HOLY FUCK!

GOOD WII GAMES ARE SO CHEAP!

(from amazon)
Arc Rise Fantasia = $12
Muramasa: Demon Blade = $13
MadWorld = $2!
Little King's Story = $7
No More Heroes 2 = $17

even crappier games like Metroid: Other M is only $25 brand new.

And like I said, I got sin and punishment for super duper cheap.

Wow -- time to stock up on some Wii games, since we get to keep her Wii when we move out in a few months. That is badass.


For X-Mas, I am going to get her a few more Wii games, and some stuff from sockdreams (http://www.sockdreams.com/_pages/index.php). Should be a good X-Mas, for her. No one is buying me anything, no one ever does, though I will be getting my profit sharing bonus at work plus 3 holiday bonuses (Thanksgiving, X-Mas, New Years) so I'll have plenty of extra cash. So, I already bought that Bangai-O for the DC, might buy a copy of D2 for the DC since my burnt copy freezed on one of the cinemas, and I got a Phillip Garrel 2DVD box set. Sounds like a beautiful X-Mas for myself.

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

I'm getting a Wii this XMAS. I can't fucking wait. Of all the current gen consoles, it definitely has the most appealing game lineup to me. Is that Madworld price from that nutty shop by your crib, Adam? I saw it used for $10 at Best Buy, and thought that was pretty cheap. But damn...

I'm not sure what kind of USB SNES controller I have, as I obtained it from a fire-burned house that I was cleaning up for $$$, and it doesn't have any sort of brand indication or anything on it. Just search 'em up on Amazon, they have multiple that are quite similar to mine. But, I was pretty shocked by how the game instantly configured it's controls to the controller, and did quite a decent job at it.

[atsonicpark]

It's $2 from amazon, as I said. As in, amazon.com.

The Wii isn't too great, but none of the new systems are. At least the Wii has the AWESOME virtual console (now with previously-Japan-only games!!), WiiWare, and the ability to play GameCube games. And, all the best Wii games as cheap as hell, like I said. Just to have Muramasa: Demon Blade and both Sin and Punishment games on one console -- as well as Cave Story on WiiWare? I mean, wow. That easily blows away the other systems, by far.

[atsonicpark]

Anywho, here's my "Wii Games you should check into", Joe:

- MadWorld

 

- Fire Emblem
- Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Ultimate All-Stars

Coming soon!: La Mulana, the new Zelda, Dragon Quest X (which will be the best game of the system), Xenoblade, Radirgy Noa, Massive, and if that new Tales game comes out in America... Pikmin 3...

That doesn't even include all the great virtual Console games, all the GameCube games, and I didn't even list that many WiiWare games. So, there ya go! A definitive (?) list!... I'd say that's FAR more impressive than the other two systems. Since I think you have a GameCube already, you can sell that and keep the best games from it, too, so the Wii kinda pays for itself. The Virtual Console has all sorts of classics, I think Super Turrican is on there (!), not to mention Castlevania: Dracula X (the PC Engine one, which rules, not the HORRIBLE Snes one), Mischief Makers, Sin and Punishment, Paper Mario, and countless other classics...

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

Oh wow, I completely missed that! Dat kush, dogg, dat kush.

Anywho, I posted a big list of games I was interested in for the Wii a few pages ago.

OH, HERE it is...

Anyway, here are the Wii games I can think of that I'm interested in...

All opinions on any title are welcome - and yes, I've heard that Other M sucks... I'd still like to give it a shot either way. I heard that you don't have to actually hunt down suit upgrades - rather they're just given to you at points of the game where they're needed. Is that true?

Anyway...

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
No More Heroes
No More Heroes 2
Madworld
Okami
Wario Land: Shake It!
A Boy & His Blob
NEW Super Mario Bros
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Donkey Kong Country Returns
House of the Dead 2 + 3
House of the Dead Overkill
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Zelda Twilight Princess
Metroid: Other M
Goldeneye
Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
Trauma Team
NBA Jam
Mario Kart Wii
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles / I can't believe Wii didn't get RE5!

Then Chairman of the bored posted about this Lost in Shadow game that looks fucking sick!

OFFICIAL E3 TRAILER - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbuXx6vXeZ8

[atsonicpark]

You can't believe Wii didn't get Re5? The Wii can't handle Re5! The Wii is basically just a GameCube... which is why it's so cheap. It could probably handle a RE5 -- or a Street fighter 4 -- if those games were DRASTICALLY downgraded. On the bright side, what I played of RE5 was pretty shitty. It's kinda just an action game now. Meh. Those Resident Evil shooters are pretty fun, though, pretty long, but they're just shooting games. Just like House of the Dead and such.

Okami is WAY better than on the PS2, but as it stands, it's probably one of the best games on the Wii (besides BoomBlox, which is the most fun you'll have on a Wii).

And yeah, Metroid is by far my favorite game series ever. I played 2 hours of Other M and thought it was absolute garbage. I hated it.

The Trauma Center games get pretty old pretty fast. You can get the first one from amazon for like a dollar now probably... Oh, and I thought Mario Kart Wii was absolutely terrible. What a step down from Double Dash. Damn.

Otherwise, pretty decent list. If you have people to play with, Wii Sports and all that stuff can be surprisingly fun, I guess.

[Dr. Eugene Felikson]

Are most of those WiiWare titles? I'm going to have to look into that. Contra Rebirth, Megaman 9 + 10 and FF4? Hmmm...
