29283	Virtual Console Thursdays	I heard about the Pokemon Bank transfer from Red, Blue, & Yellow.  It is not directly compatible with X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.  The Pokemon website says they have to update the bank for Sun and Moon, which will be compatible. <br>	Ajimbo	Feb 26, 2016
29282	Virtual Console Thursdays	This week's Virtual Console releases contains a very special release for this Saturday. One that has been announced for months. I'm sure you all know what it is... so for that I bring you this week's Virtual Console releases for the week of February 25, 2016, including this Saturday's special release.<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wii U Virtual Console:</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div>Medabots AX: Metabee (GBA)</div><div>$6.99</div><img src="http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/medabots/images/a/a8/Medabots_AX_Metabee_box.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091117221155"><div><br></div><div>Medabots AX: Rokusho (GBA)</div><div>$6.99</div><img src="http://s.emuparadise.org/GBA/boxart/0491.jpg"><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">3DS Virtual Console:</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div>Pokemon Red Version (GB)</div><div>$9.99</div><img src="http://media.gamestats.com/gg/image/object/009/009846/pokemonred_gbcbox.jpg"><div><br></div><div>Pokemon Blue Version (GB)</div><div>$9.99</div><img src="http://ocremix.org/files/images/games/gb/3/pokemon-blue-gb-cover-front-25954.jpg"><div><br></div><div>Pokemon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition (GB)</div><div>$9.99</div><img width="300" height="300" src="http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/1/8/6/6186_front.jpg"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Yes folks, the Virtual Console releases of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow is finally arriving this Saturday in celebration of Pokemon's 20th Anniversary. Yes, it was exactly on the date of February 27th, 1996 that Pokemon Red and Green was released in Japan. The Virtual Console release is pretty hyped as one... it's Pokemon, one of Nintendo's biggest and most recognizable franchises next to Mario... and two, because the Pokemon games have been in demand pretty much ever since the 3DS Virtual Console first came into being.</div><div><br></div><div>On top of this Virtual Console release, Nintendo is also releasing a New 3DS bundle pack that comes with Red, Blue, or Yellow installed along with the custom faceplates from those games. Kind of wish they'd make the custom faceplates for the New 3DS XL... but at least there's still the possibility of a third party company making a decal based off that design. They've already done so with the Majora's Mask limited edition 3DS.<br><br>Also, Nintendo announced earlier today in the Pokemon Direct a feature that I was really hoping these Virtual Console releases were going to get that would actually make me purchase one of the games for sure. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow will be compatable with Pokemon Bank. That means that the Pokemon you caught in your Generation 1 games will be able to get transferred to Pokemon X, Y, OmegaRuby, and AlphaSapphire. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course, it will also be able to transfer in the new Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games that has also been announced in this morning's Nintendo Direct. Personally, I feel like Pokemon Sun and Moon should have been released for Codename NX. The games are coming out at around the time of the system's launch... and it would have been a great launch title that would really show off the system's console/handheld capabilities. Not to it would be the first big Pokemon title to be released for the consoles. I'm sure they will release a Pokemon game for Codename NX eventually, but I feel like this is a huge missed opportunity as the 3DS would pretty much be dead once NX is released... and if they did released Pokemon Sun and Moon as an NX launch title, then I think that alone would make it a better year 1 system seller than the Wii U's launch.<br><br>On a little sidenote that's unrelated to Pokemon. Mega Man Legacy Collection has just been released for the 3DS this week. One thing that I find really interesting about the 3DS release is that it includes an option to play both the American versions and Japanese versions. Not too much different, except Mega Man 2 only has one difficulty option in the Japanese version, and Mega Man 3 has an alternate ending about Protoman's identity. As far as whether or not the collection is worth getting... it depends on if you owned the NES games, Anniversary Collection, and the Virtual Console releases. The Anniversary Collection is a better option in terms of the amount of games included, though there's been some issues with the games being ported as the Mega Man 7 ending is missing from the collection. Me personally, I might get the Legacy Collection just to have Mega Man 1-6 on the go. It's a better option than the Virtual Console re-releases. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Also, don't expect Capcom to make an actual new Mega Man game anytime soon. You're better off waiting for Mighty No. 9... I just wish Comcept didn't keep delaying it again.</span></div>	blueluigi	Feb 26, 2016

29278	That's Just Stupid	<font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A family is kicked off the plane due to a boy's allergies. His father was already enduring terminal cancer. So much for the special trip they planned on. What's really disgusting is that the passengers clapped as the family left the plane. The older I get, the less I believe in humanity.</span></font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><a href="http://www.whdh.com/story/31318341/family-kicked-off-plane-due-to-boys-allergies-calling-for-compassion">http://www.whdh.com/story/31318341/family-kicked-off-plane-due-to-boys-allergies-calling-for-compassion</a></span></font></div>	Mr Magic	Feb 26, 2016
29277	Podcasts	Thanks, Echidna64. When we planned out our Masters of the Universe Week of podcasts, I knew Vaporman87 was the go-to source for He-Man related stories. Here's to hoping someday Mattel makes at least one of his designs into an action figure.	Hoju Koolander	Feb 26, 2016
