Gamecube controller is just so comfortable. I haven't held an N64 controller in years but the analogue stick that is hard plastic means that the N64 pad isn't up there among the best. I think there should be an option for the Wii Remote PLUS Nunchuk. That combo has always had potenital.

Re: Poll: Do You Use A Flashcart?

I have a few games physical but most legit downloaded on Wii and 3DS. Have been on the verge of picking up an everdrive for a while. Also, thinking of buying a Wii unit to hack. Would never hack my original Wii which has like 8 legit classics downloaded on it. Wouldn't hack it because of the slim possibilty of bricking it. Same with 3DS.

I'm thinking about picking up a flashcart for my GBA SP but I don't have a PC to download roms to the drive from. I've got a Chromebook. Can still do it with a Chromebook right?

Re: Nintendo's Golden Ticket - How One Boy Won A Trip To Japan And Met Miyamoto

This is an amazing article. Really was a different time back in the 90's in terms of globalisation. I think now, partly because of social media and the internet things have changed. Maybe because I was also a kid at the time if feel that the article's right, everything seemed so new, hopeful, and novel in the 90's. The trip must have been amazing, and Gareth's comments at the end about his experience of the trip are also touching and hopeful. Meeting Gunpei Yokoi, just before he died must mean something deep to Gareth maybe. And who know's Miyamoto meeting Gareth, a young western kid at this time might have influenced his development of ocarina of time!

Imagine how cool the trip must have been. I also feel for Frank in that he had to juggle looking after a 13 year old kid, keeping him safe, and trying to make sure he had a good time. Frank must have wanted to go for a beer at some point. I hope Gareth had a good time, but he must look back on it as an amazing experience no matter what. And he got to play a demo of Super Metroid before release!
