this:(Image removed from quote.)
YES To bring this back, I'll bring up a personal favourite of mine-
(Image removed from quote.)
The Legend of Zelda- Link's Awakening, for the Game Boy.
I'd consider this one to be one of the most underrated Zelda titles out there, but once tried, definitely ranks amongst the best Game Boy titles you'll find. As the first portable Zelda title, it's got an excellent selection of Dungeons, Locations and Items (Including the Hookshot, Roc's Feather and Pegasus Boots) to use and explore for a handheld, and brings new elements to the series, such as jumping and side-scrolling sequences, leading to very clever puzzling, action and adventure elements.
On top of that, it has nods to other Nintendo franchises, one of the Zelda series' most memorable soundtracks, and is surprisingly deep and engrossing for the system it appeared on. If you've got a Gameboy, get it. I can promise you won't regret it for a moment.
I liked it, but at times it felt a little directionless and random.

Crowd Favourite: Road To Ruin
What's funny is that it's named after an Annihilator song about drunk driving.

And after that, change the plow to a PA Skirt, and then change the drive to fasts and change the armor to plastic 5.
Ehhh, why the PA skirt? Plows are decent and very difficult to break due to the shape of their mesh. The rest of your advice is fine but he probably won't have enough weight to get the plastic 5 either way.

Sorry bro, but it's another WWII FPS.

From what I've heard, Fire Emblem is a meh version of Zelda and Metroid is a poor man's Halo.
I'm sorry, but what you've heard is evidently rather stupid. Actually play them. Metroid is in no way a poor man's Halo, it's a singleplayer exploration focused game. Aside from being futuristic it has very little in the way of similarities with Halo, and is debatably far better. Fire Emblem is a turn based strategy game, so it's got nothing to do with Zelda. Stop taking things at face value,

Yeah, RA2 is still as strong as ever. IRL bot designs have become a lot more frequent in DSL.
Oh goodie, that wasn't just a brief craze.
Ah well, I'll just get into making bots like I used to, because I'm stubborn like that.
Hey there, Scorps. =) I was looking around your showcase the other day. How've things been going?
Perfectly fine, should be back for good now, I missed the old place lol
Yo Scorp, you still like substandard mainstream prog metal? Yes I am a music elitist.

It's actually slightly unfair to criticize FPS because there are quite often good and original FPS like Doom, Quake, System Shock, Bioshock, Fallout (kinda), Deus Ex, Half Life and so on which are good games. Admittedly the waves of mainstream FPS like Battlefield, CoD, Red Orchestra, ect get annoying pretty fast though.
I think games have forgotten that singleplayer is what really defines the game because it's the games own story. Most good FPS such as the former of the ones I mentioned have good to fantastic singleplayer and often no Multiplayer, but they are better games in their own right. TF2 was a good Multiplayer game in its own right because it was distinctive, but it's all been lost in a lot of modern FPS with respawns. Counter-Strike is okay because it's a very precarious and tactical game, but most multiplayer FPS blow because of a poor respawn system and serious weapon imbalance.
I'm still inclined to old school Nintendo games like Super Metroid though because they had such distinctive gameplay, and great settings and bosses (Kraid & Crocomire ftw).

You sure that's not HA ?
HA's probably a bit older.
Pretty sure he is 21.
And Sparkles is like 14.
Yeah, but article said the kid was 18, so my point.
It was me. I am posting this from Hell. Surprisingly, they have internet in Hell... It's dial-up using Internet Explorer and no pop-up blocker, and the PC is a Gateway with 64mb of RAM and it runs on Windows ME... 
At least Satan seems to like me. He's always telling the demons to spare me, because he wants to save my ass for later. Whatever that means...
Lol. If I went to hell Satan would end up being demoted to the shop assistant underworldly equivalent of Staples. Also you'd commit deliberate suicide surely :P

^agreed^
Also, I've never played Fire Emblem or Metroid (regrettably)...which titles do you suggest, madman?
...and as for control scheme, nearly every game allows you to CHANGE IT :O [/shockhorror], so yeah...deal with it. Also, I've found that the Gamecube controller is the best I've ever used, but the Wiimote comes a tied second with the Xbox controller. Sometimes, you just need to accept or adapt to these things.
Pretty much all of the Fire Emblem series is good, but the Gamecube and Wii titles are easy to get into according to my mate. As for Metroid: Super Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid Fusion, and all of the Prime games are fantastic and they are very fun. Prime is probab;y the most atmospheric non-horror game I've played and it's far better than more modern games like Skyrim in that respect. And yes, the Gamecube controller is pretty much my favorite controller in existence.

It doesn't help that I hate every platformer involving Mario, I'm not a fan of Mario Kart, and I CBA to try Zelda, let alone buy a console just for it.
Oh, and apparently, the Wii U hardware will be the same as the current gen 360/PS3. If so, this is another huge fail.
Nintendo are going bust, trust me. It will sell very poorly outside the Nintendo fanbase because the Wii was so terrible.
Because the Wii totally didn't colossally outsell all of its competitors.
Also, ever tried any of the games on the Wii that are console exclusive that aren't Zelda/Mario? The Wii has Metroid Prime which far outscores many huge name competitor console games, Gamecube compatibility (so that's Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Killer 7, Beyond Good and Evil, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, ect. in there), Virtual Console (that's Castlevania, Super Metroid, Link To The Past, Sin And Punishment, Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask, Super Mario 64, Pilotwings, Paper Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog 1/2/3, Gradius, Super Mario Bros 1/2/3, Metroid, Starfox 64/Lylat Wars, Wave Race 64, 1080 Snowboarding, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario RPG, Super Castlevania, R-Type, ect. down), and has a bunch of games like No More Heroes, Madworld, Sin And Punishment 2, The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, ect, which overall just leaves the Wii as a console with much more value for money, less carbon copy games (sure, Mini Game Compilations are common, but it's hit the PS3 when it got Move and the Xbox when it got Kinect, and the Wii works far better than those) which a general lack of the generic FPS you tend to get on Xbox or PS3, and it has far more legendary games available to fight off the PS3's PS1 Classics and lack of PS2 compatibility, as well as the Xbox's arcade.
As for the Wii U, if it pulls the same trick as the Wii and has a tone of back-compatibility, as well as some good 1st and 2nd party games, it's got extremely strong chances.
Yes, it did sell massively, but nobody I know that is vaguely into gaming thinks that it was a good console. And nobody I know will be getting it.
You named many games that you thought were good. I bought starfox 64, which was good, except you couldn't save. I also bought Super Mario 64, and hated it. The only game I thoroughly enjoyed was SSBB, and I had to play it with a classic controller, because the wii's controller is terrible in every way.
And I would most likely har disliked those exclusives, because of the wii's appalling control system.
In short, getting an n64/GameCube, and a wii emulator if you had to play those exclusives, would be better than buying a wii.
Plus, the companies actually lose money when selling consoles, they make all their money on the software, which nobody bought when they saw how bad the wii controls were.
I'm sorry, but most of the Wii's best games have great controls. It worked far better than a Gamecube Controller (which is great for playing Brawl) for games like Metroid Prime, and for the most part the good games on Wii used the controls intelligently rather than the crap you can admittedly find on the systems crappier games like Far Cry. Now, lets tackle this: Starfox 64's lack of saves is hardly a problem when a singled playthrough takes about 2 hours. Overall game time I've spent on it also far exceeds 20 hours, which is because it's probably one of the most gameplay focused games available at this current time. The fact that YOU dislike Super Mario 64 is YOUR problem. Suck it up, because most people think that it's at least decent. As for the rest of the games, they're generally favoured as some of the best games from the 80s and 90s. If you simply dismiss that as my opinion you better have a VERY good reason not to like them. The Wii mote was admittedly poor for Brawl if you used the NES style format, but it was decent in the other format, and the Classic Controller was fine. Another advantage of the Wii is debatably the battery powered controllers, meaning that if you ran out of battery you didn't need to be tied to some useless cable to recharge your controller (as a PS3 user this problem really pissed me off). Lastly, if you dislike the Wii's control scheme, then that's your problem. In all the better Wii games I've played it's never once been a problem, so I believe there is more than a little lack of first hand knowledge on your part for this topic. You cannot legitimately say a console's control system is bad if you haven't played it's better games, so please, before you say the Wii is a piece of crap, at least play games like Metroid Prime, LoZ: TP, No More Heroes, Xenoblade Chronicles, Fire Emblem, Resident Evil 4 (which frequently gets hailed as the best Console Game of all time, I might add), Okami, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Punch Out, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, No More Heroes 2, Monkey Island, Mega Man 9/10, World Of Goo, Guilty Gear: Accent Core, Ghostbusters, Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, Hydroventure, and more. Seriously. Most of those games have good to brilliant Metascores and 2 of them are close to being the best shooters of all time (Resi 4 and Metroid Prime), so you cannot honestly say the Wii is a bad console, because even if it's not as powerful it still has some great games and a wealth of classics. As for the stuff about Gamecube/N64 > Wii, no. The Wii can be bought pretty cheap these days, is versatile as  , has some great games of its own, and successfully covers several audiences. Also, how did Sony and Microsoft's ventures into family games go? I'm not sure if you noticed, the Move and Kinect are really crap and the support titles are even worse.
