Well actually yes....I don't recall playing the ARCADE version of Contra, and I am a bit murky on if I ever played the original NES version...the game did come out when I was six years old, so my memory of some NES games is a bit fuzzy.Quote:

Seriously.
haha...yeah...this was back in the day when I would get two games a year. One game for my birthday and one game for Christmas. So, naturally I would pick the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game or something. I suppose being denied games is what has turned me into a video game addict who buys way too many games as an adult....Quote:

TNL needs more "flavor" anecdotes like this.Quote:

No bundles at EB/GameStop stores. I preordered 3 of mine from GameStop and only put $50 deposit on each. EB/GameStops are sold out of preorders for the Wii. They wont have any for walk-ins.Quote:

Has there been anyone to confirm the assload of Wiis for the US that NOA has said they'd have? I mean to say, there's no reason to be subjected to a bundle when you can easily get one system by itself a week or two after launch with ease if you can.
Make sure that sticks because hasn't EB/GS taken pre-orders before only to tell those who did so that they now have to get the bundle?Quote:
