Well one way might be to say something that I'm about to say...

I'm thinking of picking up a GC as soon as tomorrow.
A couple that haven't stopped breathing might now be thinking "why the change of heart ?"

The most obvious reason is that I have flu right now so chances are its the words of a sick bloke ranting.

The other is that I've been laying in bed thinking back to games I played such as Metroid and Zelda and how there are times I'd like to play them again (but of course in they're new forms). Afterall, at the end of the day I am a gamer, not a fanboy and I've grown up with Nintendo games.

I might also look into a Gameboy Advance SP towards the end of the month with some of the classic Snes games that are out or coming out.

If I get a GC, this is what I'm thinking of grabbing...
Black GC
Extra controller (black of course)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Sunshine
Advanced scart lead (for best pic and sound quality)

Then of course I'll pick up Metroid Prime and Zelda as they come out. Don't need a memory card as I have the one from when I had the GC before. Anyway, thats the current thing going through my head.
Blame my credit card taunting me while I'm ill for this happening.
Right, well I'm off to ponder more on this and decide on how I'm going to pay for it all if I decide to go shopping tomorrow.

I'd rather take my chances with a GBA SP, my computer is crap anyway, I even doubt I couldn't download any of it before my computer's internet freezes up.

Emulated.


You should download it yourself and give it a try, it's probably a love/hate game.

I'm classified as an RPG fan, so I might as well tend to like them more than Sonic games since i'm usually crap at them.
I don't want to kick monkey balls around with the audience cheering something about poo either, so SMB2 is out of the question.

When i get my next month's allowance I'm gonna buy a one of the most recent games, I was either thing the Sonic mega Collection, or Phantasy Star Collection (GBA). Which do you think is best, I'm not that great at sonic games especially the Sonic 3D one that I have previously played.

Why on earth do you own these? Get Jedi Knight II instead of Bounty Hunter - it's much better. Godzilla is alright. Not really a 'must' though.

My favourite charcters to use are Link, Young link (especially against adult Link), Ganondorf, and Roy.

If you want Sav i could give you a list of how to get the other charcters?

You should have waited a while longer becuase Ninty are planning to reprice some of the earlier games such as SSBM at maximum of £20.
