Hey now, the Super Scope was awesome. It was not unwieldy. It just takes too many damn batteries.

Who's been splitting these threads?
There's splits of splits and so on. It boggles my mind. (Boggle, I hate the game named that but that's what my brain feels like)
I've never seen any message boards or communities so "split happy". There's more "splits" then there are "Banana Splits" at "Dairy Queen"

I don't want to hear any nonsense about developer intent in that regard. It's just a cheaper, inferior pathway in a day when digital ones were uncommon, that's all there is to it.
Yes, you just forgot the word "fr33" about the games. :S

Amen.
It also keeps licensed games alive. Screw the Wii's virtual console! Only thing that POS is good for is playing injected wads. Hell, the Wii's half gig storage sucks nuts anyway.
Edit: Speaking of which. Look at this BS I just found.
