Of the video games I have beaten, only a few I can regard as "memorable." I've found that many games end up ruining themselves in the end though. Games can have terrible endings for a variety o reasons, whether it's simply because it was poorly conceived, it was something as important and difficult as the writing, or the ending is completely left field and doesn't fit the characters world or the story that's been building up around them.

The two most recent examples of this that I can think of are Assassins Creed and Indigo Prophecy, and I'll tell you why;

I had a great time playing Assassins, I loved how everything was building up around you and I thought "I can't wait to see how this ends!" Through the entire game , every boss you fight uses weaponry in accordance with the time periodSPOILER:until the last one. I know that wasn't the "end" ending, but it was the last boss battle, and for some reason he obtained super powers (yeah, I know it's 'cause of that treasure he got). EndI guess I just expected it to be a more subtle and believable commentary on how people can be manipulated due to bias, insecurities and a lack of knowledge.

As for Indigo, I was all into that until the very end. I believe their are multiple endings to this game but I only played through it once. The ending I gotSPOILER:Lucas is sitting by a blossoming tree on a green hill with Carla reminiscing about everything that has happened.ENDI guess I just found the writing in that part to be incredibly clunky.SPOIL:Also, come one, the "Purple Clan!?" Really? Machines that learned everything about chroma and Mayan civilization on the Internet?!END

I know it's a video game, but who says it can't be believable? I love playing those kind of crazy nonsense "here comes a huge boss" kind of games, but it doesn't really fit with some like Assassins Creed.

Anyone else? A game that bugged you like this, or maybe you completely hate my guts for saying what I said? hahaha... Well, that's my beef with game endings 'in a nut shell.'

I know, I heard about 1 and 2 being sold separately. That's why I'm saying it sounds really really pricey. As far as the graphics updates (although I'm sure there will be more that this), all I heard about was that on the map, when you push the button to swing your weapon, you actually see your character swing it.

Also, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be able to emulate a 16 bit game, reguardless of whether it's on a disc, or in cartridge form. The only reason it wouldn't be released on VC that I can see, is because it's being released for DS at a $44 price point for each book. I think you can find the article on 1up somewhere. Pretty sure that's the one anyway.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I also heard that Ys book 1 and 2 were coming to the DS, but $44 each is a steep price for those, even if they're going to update the graphics like they said.

In my opinion, the main reason to have the VC is to bring the awesome RPG's that cost too much to become affordable, and playable in their original form. Half the reason I bought a Wii was because I thought I'd be able to play Ys book 1 & 2, Lufia and the Fortress of Doom / Rise of the Sinistrals, Secret of Mana, Earth Bound, and Chrono Trigger. I would download all that in a heartbeat. Does anyone else have anything they wish to add, or rail on me for? hahaha...I know they probably take up a substatial ammount of room on the Wii, but that's a price I'd be willing to pay.

I'm sick of all the good games for wii being ports from the ps2. We get it all ready! Make something new for once. It's really tiresome. Oh, and Zelda's dumb. Not all of them, just the new one. I got to the water temple, blew the entrance open, and said "wow, this game is dumb. I've had enough of this FOREVER!" The Wii's got so much potential to have some killer software, but I'm tired of that software coming in first party form. I was psyched about Zelda, but what a flop that was (yeah, I know everyone disagrees with me, ya wanna fight about it?)! I honestly get way more enjoyment out of my 360. I really haven't played my Wii since I got it on release. That's how dissappointing it is.

Luigi, I freakin' hate Luigi. He's like "Wa-ha! Look at me, I wear green and I'm Italian! Wa-Hoo!" What a cock squeezer. Yeah, I know it's about italian plumbers, I don't even like mario games in the first place, except for Sunshine, which for some reason everybody hated. But seriously, Luigi blows. Peach rocks the cock

In JSR you ride around on Roller Skates and graffiti. The Wiimote would be used to draw the graffiti. Plus, it's a rediculously fun game. If you can, try and play the Dreamcast version. In my opinion it's far superior to the Xbox one. It will also give you an idea about how the Wiimote would be used.
