    Wii- Killing Time

    Alright, yesterday I tried to purchase a couple VC games, but turned out I only had 700 points which wasn't enough to buy even one of the games I wanted.  So, I went to work to get another 2,000 points card (cheaper than buying them online due to employee discount) today and am now ready to make some purchases!

    Ah, dammit.  I need to run upstairs to get scissors to cut open the Wii Points package.  

    Alright, the card is out of the package, and I realized that both my Wii Remotes batteries were dying.  Luckily, I have rechargable ones, so I just switched the old ones out with the new ones.  Yay.  

    Voila!  2700 Wii Points!

    Alright, I have decided to purchase Ys: Book One and Two (pronounced like "ease" I'm told) for the TurboGrafx16, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for the SNES (don't fret, I purchased Mega Man 9 on launch day already).  With both working out to 1600 points, 800 points each for those wondering, I have 1,100 points left which I think I will hold onto for now.

    Ahhh geeze.  As I go to DL the first one, I get a message telling me I don't have enough memory.  Soooo, here goes some deleting.  I delete the Nintendo Channel, and (after copying it to my SD Card) the Internet Channel.  I am not sure why I can't delete the weather and news channels, as I really don't want those...oh well.  Alright, let's try this again.

    And they are downloaded- both of them!  Now...since that took me a lot longer than expected, I will not be able to play either of them right now. =(  Ah well, I should be able to later tonight.

    Let's make this post worthwhile at least and tell you which systems I own:

    1. Playstation 3 (60GB)
    2. Playstation 2
    3. Playstation 1 (has a mod chip in it...shhhhh!)
    4. Playstation Portable (original)
    5. Wii
    6. GameCube
    7. Nintendo 64
    8. Nintendo Entertainment System
    9. Nintendo DS Lite
    10. Game Boy Advance SP
    11. Game Boy Color
    12. Xbox 360 (20GB Premium)
    13. Xbox (sort of)
    14. Sega Dreamcast (x2)
    15. MacBook (does this even really count as a "gaming system"?)
    16. Desktop PC (of mild gaming quality)
    Now, admittedly, some of these systems I am claiming are through backwards compatibility of the newer systems, but the only one that really matter for is the Xbox 360s limited BC to the original Xbox.  Other than that, the other systems are nearly 100% backwards compatible, so no issues there.  

    This is just MY selection of video game systems.  J and M may have some other ones...but, chances are that most of our gaming would be done on these systems listed here because that is where our main interests lie.  The only other system I really want is a Super Nintendo, but I just don't have the money for one right now.  

    I can virtually play and review any game on the NES, SNES, or Genesis due to the wonders of PC emulation, so if there is something you want reviewed, drop us a line at our email address, and we will do our best to play it!

    Alright, I will be posting updates on Ys and SMRPG in the next few days, so keep checking back for those.  Later guys.  Thanks for reading!
