19481	Last Movie You Watched	Tombstone (1993)<br><br>I remember seeing it on this thread a few weeks back and decided to watch it again after years of not seeing it. I was probably a preteen last I saw this. Such a bada$$ movie. The Earp brothers looked slick and I loved their bravado....with the exception of Bill Paxton, he just always comes off as a goon to me. Val Kilmer aced it as Doc Holliday, "I'm your Huckleberry" is timeless. Awesome movie, one of the last great western flicks.<br><br>4/5<br>	vkimo	Apr 03, 2015

But I know it's easier to add anything to Android vs IOS! I thought about the Nvidia shield too to play my PC games in the other room and supposedly on the go but it was too pricey. I know I've tried the PS1 emu on other Android devices the emulation isn't as good. I have a lot of the same emulators on my ipad but this was something I could hook to a friends tv and share old school gaming goodness. Yes it has it's issues-the wifi capability is non existent! But I believe its a good open ended system.</blockquote>	EISXUOIS	Apr 03, 2015
19479	Virtual Console Thursdays	A Nintendo Direct was held yesterday, and they announced some new stuff for the Wii U Virtual Console including two console additions that's been added for the very first time. They were released immediately after the direct... so let's get started. This is the week of 4/2/2015:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wii U Virtual Console:<br><br></span>Super Mario 64 (N64)<br>$9.99<br><img src="http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/0/0f/Super_Mario_64_%28NA%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20110703064718&path-prefix=en"><br><br>Yoshi's Island DS (DS)<br>$9.99<br><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Yoshi%27sIslandDScover.PNG"><br><br><br>Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this marks the official debut of Nintendo 64 and DS games on the Wii U Virtual Console. For a while, I was wondering if they were ever going to start releasing N64 on there. It was one thing to release GBA games on the Wii U Virtual Console instead of the 3DS since the emulation of GBA games didn't run very well on the 3DS going by reports from the ambassador's program. But if they were able to release N64 games on the original Wii, they can very well do it on the Wii U. Needless to say, the emulator looks excellent, at least going by gameplay footage I've seen online. Now if they can just release Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, and Sin and Punishment, then I'd be on board of upgrading my Wii N64 games to Wii U.<br><br>As for DS games. The idea of having them on the system did kind of baffle me at first, but I am liking the emulation to it so far. I'm assuming M2 has been helping out with this the same way they did GBA games. I really like GBA's emulation on Wii U, and I look forward to see what games they offer from the DS. However, the DS games seem to start on a somewhat sour note as I really did not enjoy Yoshi's Island DS. It was a very crappy remake of the original Yoshi's Island disguised as a sequel and done by the folks at Artoon. It really says a lot when I say that I would rather play Yoshi's Story than I would the DS game... and yes, I HATED Yoshi's Story. After Artoon went down under... they later reformed into Arzest and made Yoshi's New Island for the 3DS. Unfortunately, the results ended up being even worse than the DS game. Here's hoping that Yoshi's Wooly World turns out to be good.<br><br>I'm glad that Super Mario 64 is on there as well... but I'm a bit bothered by the fact that it was released at the same time they took down the fanmade remake of the first level of the Super Mario 64 HD remake. It looked fantastic, and Nintendo had no reason to take it down. It shows that Nintendo is out of touch with their consumer, and next to other moves like the Nintendo Creator's Program... it's actually making me starting to lose respect for the company. I hope they change their ways and learn to adapt to the consumer, because of they don't, then eventually, it will get to the point where I'm going to give up on them for good.<br>	blueluigi	Apr 03, 2015

19477	OUYA	I bought an Ouya shortly after they first came out in stores. I love the design of it. It's very small and neat looking. However, I found the system to be rather horrible to actually use. <div><br></div><div>The games that were in the store were all app store games with a few super cheap self published titles as well. I actually bought it to be a complete emulation machine, but I found the lag from the controller rendered the entire thing unusuable. </div><div><br></div><div>I tried and tried to make it work, but that half a second delay or so was just too much to deal with. I ended up selling it on Amazon for dirt cheap. </div><div><br></div><div>With that being said, there are a lot of people really happy with the machine and its emulation capabilites on the Ouya forums and such. It just didn't work for me. I would spend the money and buy a cheap used laptop for emulating. I think it would work better.</div>	massreality	Apr 03, 2015
