I'm thankful for the Wii Virtual Console. Retro classics, no need to blow on the cartridge.

Lethal Enforcers FTW! I remember, at one point, I memorized the location of every enemy in the first two stages.

A port of Terminator 2 would be pretty awesome. Wishful thinking would point me toward Time Crisis (series) and Silent Scope (series).

The look and control scheme seems better suited for a side-scrolling brawler (like Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, etc.) than a fighting game.

Does this also apply to Canadians?

I had the chance to see this game in person at CES (went to the Sony Online Entertainment suite in the MGM Grand) and the graphics weren't quite where I was hoping they would be. The gameplay does sound interesting and the MMO aspects seem to be well implemented. If you want a free copy, feel free to enter the contest I have on my blog:

The alternative would be to remove the cartridge and blow on the connectors...oh wait, that was the NES.

Grr... You need at least firmware 3.41 or something to play this. :(

Wouldn't it have made more sense to have an LCD monitor floating above your head so that you could actually change the text on the fly?

As others have said already, ESRB ratings do not necessarily indicate the "maturity" of a game, just as movie ratings don't. They're more there just as a limiting factor. G movies (and E games) can be watched (and enjoyed/played) by everyone, whereas R movies (M games) should only be enjoyed by an older (though not necessarily any more "mature") audience. Nintendo is working to make sure that everyone can play their games, whether they are 8 or 80. Brain Age is probably the best example of this.

Yes, because marginally outselling Nintendo's severely outdated and essentially obsolete Game Boy Advance is an achievement.
