It worked great for my area... but when I searched for the area around my girlfriend's house the tracker went somewhere else, like it did to you

I couldn't live without them. My Sims neighborhoods look like Beverly hills with their fancy mansions. I always use a corner to stick a ghetto/trailer park in though.

We've already learned the list of launch titles for the Virtual Console. But VC titles are undergoing ESRB rating, and the name of some of those games has been leaked, and some of them are not on the launch list. No indication when we can expect them, but this means they're almost guaranteed to show up at some point.

* Duck Hunt (E for Everyone)
* Hogan's Alley (E for Everyone)
* Kid Icarus (E for Everyone)
* Kirby's Adventure (E for Everyone)
* Pilot Wings (E for Everyone)
* Pro Wrestling (E for Everyone)
* Punch-Out (E for Everyone)
* Wild Gunman (E for Everyone)
* Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Super NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Kirby's Super Star (Super NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64; rated E for Everyone)
* Starfox 64 (Nintendo 64; rated E for Everyone)
* Super Metroid (Super NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Kirby's Dream Land 3 (Super NES; rated E for Everyone)
* The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64; rated E for Everyone)
* Excitebike (NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Ice Climber (NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Dr. Mario (NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Mario Brothers (NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Ice Hockey (NES; rated E for Everyone)
* Soccer (NES; rated E for Everyone)

I'm a little curious about the light gun games considering the Wiimote doesn't behave like a light gun.

Sweet!

and for light gun, I think the wiimote will work like the cursor they have showed in the game menus. Like a mouse cursor, just a guess.

I wish it was Mike Tyson's Punch out... but it's the version without Iron Mike... the one where he is replaced by Mr. Dream. They have the exact same moves, just look a bit different

Yea, I have Mike Tyson's Punch Out for the NES still... It's going to be hard to go against Mr. Dream and not Kid Dynamite

BTW... I played excite truck for the Wii at the gamestop... great fun game because of the controls.
I wish they had more demos though

Someone at another website I frequent was able to get a copy of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii early. So they did the only thing they could, scan it and post it on the internet. Keep in mind, this is the retail manual and does feature some storyline related material, so it could be considered "spoiler-ish".

I called a Futureshop in Ontario here... between 15-60 units (based on each store)

They will have a sign outside the night they close to show how many units on hand.
And its first come, first serve.

Picked up a ****box360 for 449+tax (canadian) for the premium (with 20Gb hard drive and component vid) + Ghost recon, Arcade pack and Gears of War all in one package.
It was MSs one day thwart PS3 deal
