when it does come, will it require MobileMe to work?

this NEEDS to be played with an 8-way digital joystick with one button, as it was originally on the Amiga platform.

It'll never, ever be the same with a d-pad.

What controller will this require?

Classics I'd like to see on XBLA..

720°
Out Run (the original)
Toobin'
Power Drift
Thunder Blade
Kung Fu Master (though I admit it's tough without an 8-way stick)

I admit, I'm showing my age (32).

Dragon's Lair? Why? It's just a series of Yes/ No decisions...

Paperboy made more sense when playing the original cab with handlebars. It never really made the translation to joystick/ d-pad type controls.

dude should take his home address out of the auction page before someone robs him

These things have been around for ages. I've got three of them (Octopus, Fire and Helmet I think) ...

The thing is with this, and the same goes for the weather channel, is that for me (and i presume many others) there's never going to be a situation where flicking the tv to a news or weather channel won't be quicker than turning on the wii.

Actually yeah.

I was speaking to a work colleague who asked me if I'd played any more Zelda, because I stopped playing it pretty much at the first temple. I have a few games for the Wii (Excite Truck, Red Steel, Elebits and Zelda) but they're all gathering dust. They all bore me quite frankly, but I think right now I am in a video game slump - nothing interests me right now.

But I will play the odd game of tennis. Now and then. It's great when I just want to throw something around for 10 minutes.

I do. I am just waiting for the day that the guys at SCUMMVM port their program for the kind of card system I have.
