@LittleMofreaky: Mostly because we are conditioned, at least here in America, to see '70' as average because of our scoring system on tests in school and college. And most games really don't fall under the 'absolutely terrible' banner, so it's rare to see games get scored beneath that, as most games end up at least average.

I am absolutely looking forward to this. Too many great 80's references to let this slide by, and it looks like it will be legitimately fun to boot.

@ELTEE: That was what I thought when I read it as well. Kirby's always been able to pretty much fly non-stop.

This looks great. Suffice it to say, if you're a Kirby fan you're probably going to buy, and likely won't be disappointed.

Forget the videos, Double Dragon is where it's at. The Gameboy version is surprisingly good.

@sin2sin:

There's also a spectacular translation patch out there for it. Go. Play it. Now.

You know what? I think it's not a smart decision to bring it over, since it's already localized, but really, how many of the Wii's audience is actually going to buy any of these games? I'd wager not many.

At any rate, I went ahead and imported Xenoblade. After the exchange rate, it cost me just shy of $50 (yay, thehut.com!). Not bad at all, and I highly recommend anyone that wants to play these games to just go ahead and do the same, and use GeckoOS to boot the game.

@sigma8: God of War: Origins is the remastered version of the PSP games. There's probably a decent number of people out there that haven't played those.

@Master Marik: Yep, NP is quality stuff. I actually look forward to receiving it every month. They had some pretty dark days there during the N64 and Gamecube era, but the mag has been excellent both pre- and post-Future transition.

Really, Sony? Proprietary memory cards? C'mon, you made us buy Pro Duos already, and I'm rolling in MicroSD cards. You couldn't use something that's a little more standard?

Very, very nice. This is one of the best things that came out of DSiWare, and more people experiencing the awesomeness can only be a good thing.
