This is unfortunate. I think the nicest thing about it was the fact that you weren't forced into buying points in fixed increments. I was dithering on Ikaruga for $10, but now I'll have to go spend $20 on a point card. I don't get too much off of XBLA, so I'd prefer not to have my money tied...

Alternatively, I've had luck with Best Buy price matching Walmart's website. This was back when Walmart was doing the $20 12-month subscriptions.

Are you handy with a soldering iron at all? That reset button looks pretty unique. I'm not sure if you'd be able to find a replacement at Radio Shack, or Digikey. Anyway, can you check the backside of the PCB and figure out where the reset button is connected? It's probably just 2 solder points.

Uh, all the other topics you bumped were pretty old too. As a rule of thumb, if it's not on the front page, it's probably over a month old.

Hmm, does this not work on Heart Gold? I tried logging in today to the Nintendo WFC, but it didn't find anything.

Question about that stand... When you have your screen rotated 90 degrees, does it stay rotated in-place very well? I've been looking around for something similar, but usually TVs don't have their mounting holes at the dead center. For example, this one has the mounting holes closer to the...

Shoot, I just saw this thread, and I was a little tempted. Then I realized I have a bunch of other shmups I oughta master first. If my queue weren't so long, I'd jump on this even at 1200 points. As for the reviews... I don't think the average reviewer "gets" shmups, and so the reviews...

In general, there aren't a lot of good discounts for Disneyland. I've never seen any 1-day, single-park tickets for discount. The only discounts I've ever seen are for the 2-5 day, "park hopper" tickets. IMO, 1 day is probably good enough. Also, there's plenty to do in 1 day in one park...

Lots of good advice already... Let me add a few more that haven't been mentioned. -If you do any travel outside of Tokyo, Hyperdia is a good resource to plan your train ride. It's like the mapquest of train trips. You give it your start/end points, and your desired departure/arrival. It'll...

I agree with this. Isn't the point of this thread to flesh out ideas, and come up with something that the majority likes? We might as well figure out will work best. I like this idea too. :) If you challenge and lose, then you'll have gained some insider information for your next attempt...

Regarding the gym leader changing teams, etc... Again, it all depends on how much you want to bias things towards the challenger or gym leader. IMO, I think things should favor the challenger. Locking the gym leaders into 1 team is beneficial for a few reasons. 1. Standardization. Suppose...

Sounds fun, but I'm not sure we have the critical mass here on CAG to keep it up. :p Personally, I'd love to participate but don't know if I could make the commitment... On a related note, how "beatable" do you intend the gym leaders to be? Modeling the game/show, gym leaders are a...

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the classic controller? It's supposed to work with all the VC games, you don't have to worry about adapter/compatibility issues, and they're only $20. Alternatively, you could look into the super famicom classic controllers. These were Club Nintendo...

Yeah, you'll be fine. One more point I'd like to add about the RPG aspect... You can think of it like an old-school RPG, like the early FF or DQ games. However, you have an enormous amount of flexibility in making your party. You pick up members as you go, and choose who you want in your...

Huh. Sounds like you still don't get it. This isn't North Korea. You absolutely do have a choice, but it may be so trivial that you don't realize it. Your options are: A) Leave work/school and get a $50 game for $5. Maybe get fired/suspended. B) Stay at work/school. Which do you value...

Actually, you *can* sorta tell which pokemon you're getting. First off, know that the game picks 3 pokemon when you go for your walk. One common, one semi-rare, and one rare one. If you check the Serebii page, you get one each of the A/B/C pokemon. Thus, on a particular walk, you get the...

There was some special event Regigigas given away at Toy's R Us. If you have this guy in your party, then it unlocks the area to get the Regi's.

What? That's not true! Starters are absolutely *not* always male. They are ratio-ed, 1/8 are female.

Well... The absolute best is the Afterburner. It's actually a backlight, so it takes some modding on your part. I'm not sure if you could even find one anymore though.

I got one of those for shooters and fighters, and I agree... The A/B button configuration is a strange design choice. Fortunately, you can usually configure the buttons in-game to do what you want. I know that at least Raiden 4 does this, because that's the one I'm currently playing. :) I...
