playing these type of games is great.. genesis, SNES ..if not gamecube & Wii I would still playing FPS'es and other boring things :) Nintendo knows how to entertain people.. :) ..and I don't give a s**t what people are thinking about games that I play.. Mario, Metroid, zelda, warioware, rhythm heaven, fatal frame FTW!!!
Its really unfortunate that they are so many closed minded people in the world. Good stuff!
