Anybody know exactly what time the demo will be available? Can't seem to find the info.

If anyone has a spare key I could use it would be greatly appreciated, there was a huge rush to get beta keys today and all the sites were getting hammered and I wasn't able to get one.

Since a lot of people are having trouble playing online matches with random people, the best option seems to be playing with friends. Anyone that has the game post your friend code and add everyone else's so we can play online until nintendo fixes random matches. See you guys online...

I just got Contra 4 for Christmas and I would recommend it to any fan of old-school 2-d games. It is insanely hard on normal and hard modes but it is definitely playable, and beatable on easy. There are a ton of unlockables including both original NES contra games as well as challenge mode...

I love the ray surfing, it's smooth if you consider the fact that the waves bump you around, I don't think some people understand that, and fault it as bad controls. Anyways, love the game, love the variety of levels, love how gravity was implemented, can't wait to beat it, not before i get...

The game was great to begin with, if a bit easy, but after collecting about 30 stars or so the game really opens up. I could argue how great every aspect of the game design is but all you really need to know is how fun this game is. Every single time I start up a game and tell myself I will...

I got it this afternoon! I have 5 stars so far, it's as beautiful and fun as everyone says. So far it's pretty darn easy, this may be because i've watched videos of the first few levels being played through before though :p

Just letting everyone know about the deal at Toys R' Us where you get a free $25 gift card with the purchase of Super Mario Galaxy. Supplies are limited so make sure you get pick it up asap, either Monday or Tuesday depending on your store. Oh yeah...I. Can't. Wait.

Warbie's list is pretty good. I really gotta emphasize getting Super Metroid, Final Fantasy III/VI, and Zelda: Link to the Past, best games in their respective series. If you are into RPG's I would also recommend Super Mario RPG and Earthbound(very hard to find/costs a lot)

Did anyone else really enjoy Turok 1 and 2 like I did? There is just something so incredibly fun about killing enemies in those games, i'm sure it has something to do with the excessive blood and gargling noises upon enemies deaths.

Geez i'm really surprised with the amount of love for the N64, it's great! I'm also surprised that the NES doesn't have a single vote?! I understand the games are archaic compared to todays games but I would have thought nostalgia alone would garner some votes. Anyways, I had to vote for...

Yeah, It's definitely copied from this. Also, I was watching the movie Speed the other day and I swear some of the music from that movie at least inspired some of the MGS music, it's extremely similar.

I feel that experiences with the first playthrough of certain games are extremely important to certain people. When you look back on your favorite games you wish you could erase your memory of that game and experience it for the first time again, spoilers taint your first playthrough by making...

I absolutely cannot wait for Mario Galaxy. I think the concept behind the game allows for limitless potential, I just hope they execute on it. There can be some really cool stuff done with different levels of gravity for each planet, and i'm really liking the suits for mario. Also, I liked...

Just wondering if anyone is planning on picking the game up on Tuesday. I'll probably wait for some reviews first, but from what i've seen it looks very good. Also, if you pick the game up could you leave some initial impressions for everyone.
