I'm really hoping that they bring the DS browser to the US, that would be like icing on the already totally awesome cake. They also have a digital TV receiver that they're releasing in Japan, but since we don't have digital TV broadcasts yet, we probably won't get anything like that over here.
although this is interesting, this doesn't really matter at all...the differences we're talking about here are practically unnoticable in terms of actual gameplay.
Great Games with low requirements: Diablo II: LOD Baldur's Gate II The best thing about the PC is that an mid to low end PC can always play the best games from 5 years ago. Scalability baby!
OK, obviously some of you people need a lesson in video game history...Chrono Trigger and StarFox...both for the SUPER Nintendo...SNES, not NES...that is appalling that you don't know that! ...of course maybe if you were old enough to own one, you would know...i can understand the confusion if you've only ever played these games on an emulator...
Holy crap people, calm down... You should be happy microsoft includes any games at all! No one is going to buy/not buy windows based on the prepackaged games anyway! But in any case, I think Windows games are great for what they're made for, wasting time. Card games, Minesweeper, and now Mahjong...those are great for a 5-10 minute break from work or writing papers. What makes a great game is not graphics, it's the amount of fun you can get out of it and for these games, that's a heck of a lot. And for those of you who don't believe me, trade in your xbox 360 and go buy a super nintendo, nes or atari...ah the good ol' days!
5. Chrono Cross 4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I own it and have played a little, but never all the way through) 3. Star Wars KOTOR2 (loved the first but never got around to buying this one) 2. The Sims (I have a firm policy against playing games my little sister loves) 1. Final Fantasy VIII/IX (I never owned a ps1, so I played FF VII on my PC, but never played these ones)
While I don't agree with everything on the list, it does include most of my favorites and really does capture the essence of the NES. Some games that should've made it are Megaman 3, Tetris and Dragon Warrior 4. I especially like the inclusion of blaster master in the honorable mentions...any story involving a boy following his pet frog down a hole in his backyard and finding another world with a sweet tank has got to be a good game!

1. Final Fantasy III (SNES) - By far my favorite game in the series, and it took me a while to find it, which always makes it a little more special. 2. Top Gear 3000 (SNES) - Rare and incredibly addicting edition in the series, my friends and I always rented it back in the day, so when I found a copy, I had to get it. 3. X-Wing Collector's CD (PC-DOS) - Still an amazing game after all these years, if you can get it to work right on XP! (which I did manage to do) 4. ES4: Oblivion (PC) - Well...what can you say? 5. Any of the following NES games purely because of the craziness of the storyline: A Boy and His Blob (i think the title says it all), Blaster Master (boy follows his pet frog down a hole in the backyard and finds a big truck with a laser gun on it), Faxanadu (something about elves and a very strange looking underground world, honestly I don't know what's going on)
