Nintendo's issue is the same one they've had since N64 to now, they don't lack the hardware capabilities, they lack the 3rd party support. N64 had no final fantasy, they had no real racing games (and yes Mario kart and that god awful conker racing game don't count), etc. I'll boil it right down for you, Mario 64, Zelda Oot and MM, Goldeneye, Starfox 64, Super Smash Bros., and Conkers Bad Fur Day. Versus, Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, Metal gear solid, Final Fantasy 7-9 (plus remakes), resident evil 1-3 (and yes I know the N64 got 2), Castlevania SotN (also I know 64 got those lamea== ones), etc. The list could go on forever man. So you say Ninty was lazy? Yeah they really were when they could lose with a systemcapable of2x the graphical power of the competition, but the graphical capabilities weren't the issue. Implementation has never been their problem, support always has.

I find that games requiring skill due to their datedness get me lately. When I was younger, I fought the mister X tyrant in RE 2 and beat him despite his speed and the games tank controls. I recently got there on my PS3 and for the life of me can't remaster the tank controls so I can land a lasting hit. Same with the first Tenchu, I can still beat the level, but the archaic control scheme is too much for me to master again to get grand master on these levels. It makes me sad because PSone era games are still some of my favorites.

Megaman Juno (MMLegends), Tingle (Zelda WW), and Squall (FF 8 ). Also Zoey from left for dead, she steals uncommon kills like a monster.

My two favorite would have to be the forest and shadow temples from OoT, just because of the eerie feeling the music invokes in both. Also, shadow has the lens of truth tricks, and forest has the warped hallway (not to mention the first time you use the bow in 3d). I've never hated a Zelda dungeon to be quite honest, but I dislike the water trick in the water temple (OoT), and I did find the goron mines(TP) a little tedious I guess.

The only difference is the wii TP is mirrored, so everything on the gamecube and wii are opposite. Also, the Wii version has a glitch whereby if you save in a certain cave you can never advance in the game unless you restart your file. I have owned and played both and it is my personal opinion that the GC version is superior. I don't know if the save file glitch was fixed in the nintendo selects version out now, but it was present in the other wii versions for sure.

I plan to preorder Killzone 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, Crysis 2, Tactics Ogre Let us Cling Together, the 3rd Birthday, Valkyria Chronicles 3, and who knows what else.

Like was already said, the problem with sports games like those is they do plummet in value. At the gamestop where I live they have entire racks dedicated to EA sports games and the like and anything that isn't current year they sell for like 9.99 or 14.99. I don't know how it is where you are, but even ata 50% increase on nine dollars you would only maybe clear what they earn selling them. I would go with Ebay or some of the other mentioned routes.

Thanks man, that was a big help.

I was eyeing up a FF XIII special edition Xbox 360 @ ebgames and wondered if anyone new if this model is Jasper chipped? I am looking to upgrade from my chipless 360 elite before it craters and noticed the FF XIII one has 250 gb of space. Does anyone know the answer to this? I would be greatly appreciative if they do.

I thoroughly enjoy mine, and I don't even own Halo.
