I never did and not once was my game erased. I also tried this little test by pushing the Power button on and off really quick a bunch of times. Same with the reset button. Nothing bad ever happened.

So why Nintendo, why?


There WAS a reason, but I of course forget what it is precisely. I do know it's not necessary with anything SNES or later, or on the top-loading NES (though I usually do it anyway out of habit).

Yeah, I definitely got an extra few GamePros after my subscription supposedly ran out (I forget precisely how I subscribed in the first place). This was back in like 2000 or so.

Also, as I've stated before, I believe ALL companies sell their systems at a loss, at least initially (Microsoft was merely the first to state it publicly)...they make it up through game sales.

Well, if you're a poker player, there's here...

It's not really "free", as you usually have to play a certain number of raked hands to actually get your money, but it's about as close as you'll get.

EDIT: Jesus, I fucking typed that Kitten Yiffer-style.

Well, I do think strategy guides are far more prevalent now than, say, in 1992 when ALttP came out. That said, it's important to make a distinction here. Just because games seem EASIER than they were in the "old days"--be it because the games are actually easier, or because practically all of them, including action games, give you moreplaces to save (Meaning less mind-numbing repetition of stages like the NES Ninja Gaiden's 6-2)--doesn't mean that they're SHORTER at their core. For proof, one need look no further than LttP versus OoT in terms of speeding through the game--if you know what you're doing, the former can be completed in under 2 hours, the latter takes at least 5.

And if you want to talk about insanely hard games, then what about Ghosts and Goblins and Monster Party? They don't make crazy things like that anymore.


Battletoads isn't that hard (Fettster). Neither is Monster Party except for Level 6, partially because you could go back and forth and kill guys for constant health powerups.

Ghosts N' Goblins, on the other hand, owns me at level 2. Continually.

So, you all remember the Zelda II New Game + speedrun I talked about some six months back? Well, I finally got around to backing it up the old-fashioned way (To another VHS tape), and will be sending it to various places shortly.

So. Just pointing out to all you other people that any other person from "America" is only faking it. As you see from my new custom rank, I Am A Real American...like I said, everyone else is just pretending.

But of course! I fight for what's right, and for my life as well.

y0y0y0.

Let's see. I have a 6-string bass. And if you can't do anything with that, I'm sure you can have some fun with my username.
