We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

I counted 9 games that I am going to buy. Excellent.

Wow! These are some excellent looking titles.

I have already found a few I will buy. I have never played and finished Monkey Island, so seeing as how it has been revamped I will now be playing it.

Pirates vs Ninja Dodgeball, anyone know if that game will play similar to Super Dodgeball in any way? That game on the NES is still one of my favorites.

Bubble Bobble was on the list too I believe. NES port or is it the same exact game as the NES version but with updated graphics? Updated 2D sprites would be the most amazing thing in the world.

Turtles in Time is a definite purchase as well. July 22nd if I am not mistaken.

Oh boy, I am going to be busy this summer.

Neither. From what I understand, it's essentially XBLA's version of Bubble Bobble Plus (the WiiWare title), which means it's 1) a remake of the original featuring new sprites, and 2) and extra 100 levels added on, which also feature 4-Player support. I don't think there are any real differences between the versions, although someone may pove me wrong. Also, the reaction to Bubble Bobble Plus has been more positive than negative (7 people on this site liked it, 4 did not), so as a fan you'll probably enjoy it.

So your telling me that there has been a WiiWare title called Bubble Bobble Plus, which was a remake of the NES game with new sprites plus more and I never knew about it?

It's been out in the US since May. 600 points.

That's what you get for not visiting the WiiWare thread.

I never play my Wii so I never thought to enter that thread.

I was going to start playing it again a couple weeks ago for Mario Tennis. I probably would have noticed it if I turned it on. I tend to check the VC library every once in a while to see what new JRPGs got released.
