I'm playing Twilight Princess at the moment, and I love it! They've nailed gameplay down to perfection, in my opinion, and the graphics are STUNNING! Far exceeded my expectations
Rayman is hilarious, too. Red Steel and CoD3 are good fun, but so far Zelda is my favourite Can't wait for Smash Bros Brawl and Metroid!
But yes, the Wii is an awesome console. I've yet to get internet working on it, Zelda is too addictive >.< Been playing 20 odd hours and I don't think I'm even halfway through it!
Im posting this from my Wii. The internet channel right now is a trial version and you can only view one page at a time, but it still is pretty awsome. Especialy since my computer is broke at the moment. I havent heard of a keyboard, but Im sure one is in the works. And thanks to www.ebuddy.com/mobile I can still get on messengers. The trial version only uses flash7; but sites like youtube still work nicely.
"For example, many games ported to slower systems from a slightly faster system (a la arcade to NES), the NES version was just as fast and good."
Arcade games weren't ported to the Nes, They were converted with the systems specifications in mind. It was not the same game by any means. Not even made by the same people most of the time.
Yeah, you do. To port software is to modify it (almost always with the source, and occasionally by hacking the compiled program) to run on a different hardware. A rewrite that doesn't use original source is a 'rewrite' or 'remake' depending on context.
