But we don't break it down into biological terms and try and figure out aimless junk like how Iggy got his glasses or how the koopa kids were all conceived when there was clearly no Queen mentioned in Bowser's reign.

I remember back when SMW came out and Iggy had those swirly looking eyes behind the glasses, that I used to think he could hypnotize people into a trance and make them do what he commanded. But you wanted to know this, Greg. ^.^

Honestly though these days, I think Iggy wears those big old glasses because he's blind as a bat.. such as myself. lol

I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO.

Nah bro, this is Terry we're talking about. You don't wanna know.

Any other koopa yeah. But that Terry LoL

I remember that quite well Jerome. I think Wendy stuffed you in your shell for trying that once?

Thinking outside the box, huh Iggy?

I discovered Minecraft. And it's eaten my soul.

That game tends to do that.

Sorry to double-post.

Recently I've been jumping through a few different PC games as of late, after finishing off The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Was playing The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for awhile, and am now juggling between Darwinia and Spiral Knights. Also considering picking up Uplink, if I can get the nerve for it; I'm especially fond of A.I. stories, and have been brewing up a spinoff title of my own based on reading and watching other playthroughs.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for the SNES has NOT aged well since it was released in 1992. Two hours of gameplay and I'm already halfway finished.

1. Super Smash Bros for Wii U
   
2. 8-Player Brawl
   
3. Team Battle, with one human player against seven CPU players at whatever one difficulty setting they want
   
4. Stock: 2
   
5. Friendly fire on
   
6. All CPU players are the alternate skins of Bowser Jr.
   
7. DEFEND YOUR FAVORITE 8-PLAYER LOCATION FROM A FULL-SCALE KOOPALING INVASION
   

Because if they didn't introduce 8-Player Smash for that, I don't know what they introduced it for.

Abandoning backwards compatibility and below par sensor controls has kept me from being a fan of the Wii.

Yeah, that's sort of a slap to the face towards their gamers.

It is, or at least that's how I feel about it. Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony switch consoles WAY too often. The NES lasted nearly a decade, there's no reason why they can't at least last that long. Backwards compatibility increases the likeliness of a customer sticking with you in the future, but its all money and the next big thing to these guys.

Lots of corps are like that these days bro. The customer is a walking dollar sign to them.

Too true, but then technology moves fast.

Yeah, it does.. I don't really get what people need amazing graphics for, games are meant for gameplay. Older games often gave great gameplay and graphics didn't really matter as long as it was fun.

fuq. see what dragons lair started? lolz

Pretty colors fascinate me LoL that's why bro.

That's different tho Geoff lol it involved timing and pushing the right buttons at the precise time. I mean those games that look great but have controls and camera angles broken beyond repair and everybody that seems to worship the game.

kids these days don't kno poo about video games dats why

Gonna keep happenin bro LoL as Kali said, tech moves fast.

don't you mean the Wii U? original had backwards comps.

Later releases of the Wii removed the ability to play GameCube games, mostly smaller "family" versions or somesuch. Backwards compatibility isn't always an easy thing, so they probably considered the GameCube completely phased out midway through gen 7.
