Crazy.

It's funny to think that the lawyers can barely keep up.

Oh well, I guess the longer it takes them to figure it out the more they can bill  ;D.

As for Copyright in China being non existent, I do remember hearing that they opened a World of Warcraft amusement park on their own without any licensing agreement in place at all.

Yup.  Pretty shitty.  Yet we do like 95% or more of our manufacturing with them.  Smart.

It holds up surprisingly well IMO as well.   I play it through quite regularly.  Even with the crummy frame rate, lack of texture mapping (which I actually find quite pleasant), and super low poly count, it's still a blast!  Proof that graphics don't make a game or a game system successful.  Hell, the PS2 was the "weakest" of the 6th generation and it was still far and away the "winner" of the bunch.

On topic, Final Fantasy X's graphics actually astound me. It shocks me that this game came out in 2001... it looks like an early Xbox 360 game. Or a better example, Twilight Princess which came out in 2006.

You know, I've never actually posted in these pickup threads yet. I don't get game stuff as often as some of you, but I have some goodies I got from this month and last:



Left to right:
-The Legend of Zelda for NES
-Mario Kart K'Nex Minifigures -- I started last month with a random pack and got Diddy Kong, then I found out you can tell which one you'll get by the underlined digit on the back, so I got all of them! (well, there is a Wario, but it's only in a full track set, and will be available alone in June). I also picked up 2 extra Marios, a Toad, and a Yoshi to customize into Blue SSBB Mario, as well as Geno, The Mushroom Chancellor and Boshi from Super Mario RPG. I'm considering customizing more for characters that will never get made by K'Nex if anyone has any ideas.
-6 Bootleg Game Boy cartridges - more below.
-A Link to the Past for SNES (thanks to scarmullet)
-Nintendo Mini Classics Keychains - Super Mario Bros, Mario's Cement Factory and Donkey Kong Junior (I actually already had these but only found them last month).



Wiggy suggested I show and review these, and I'll do so in a new thread soon. I got these bootleg carts, which among other things feature the pirate hack games "Super Mario 4", "Super Mario World 7", "Sonic 3D Blast 5", "Sonic 6" and "Sonic Adventur7". They surprisingly all work on my GBC, GBA and GB Player. Having trouble on my Super Game Boy, but it might be my cartridge.

Switch - Tyrannicus | 3DS - 0130-1810-3706
Wanted GB bootlegs: Spiritual Warfare, Sonic 8 (rumble), Mario DX (GBA), Donkey Kong II (GBA)

Have to say, good investment on your part. If I had more space I'd probaly seek out a spare Wii just to softmod.

Just curious.  Why have one just for a soft mod?  I have one for everything.  Now that the Wii U is out you don't have to worry about updates.

Depending on what version you download, you may have trouble playing newer Wii discs. That, and in case the softmodded Wii bricks(Which can happen even if you're careful).

Basically, it's a "Better safe than sorry" kind of situation.

Good question. 

I like having the game in hand for many systems.  Heck, I even feel bad owning an NES Powerpak.  But alas, I digress, the main reason I want to softmod the wii is to play arcade ports, and maybe a system or two's rarer titles.
