It comes out this Tuesday...I am thinking of getting it. It looks like a really cool game, nothing special graphically, but I like the way it sounds. Plus the whole idea of being able to play classic NES games is a big selling point. :) So, who is getting this?

Yeah, I've been looking forward to this one for a while. I was disappointed that the first one didn't come out for N64 :( .

Im going to do the blockbuster promotion where you rent Mario Sunshine and get a rental for Animal Crossing for free. That way I can try two games on my list before buying them :D

I've had it from Block Buster for a week now (goes back tomorrow in fact).

The game is very good... and there's a ton to do. I can see getting a bit sick of it, and yet, there's always a reason to come back.

I think I've been playing too much, because I don't have an urge to get on like I did... and yet, you have to, just to see what you're missing. It's hard to explain. It's a great little game, and one that you'll want to never ever sell, since life goes on when you're not even there.

I won't be buying this game for two weeks. This means my town will be all without me for TWO WEEKS. I hate to see what I'll miss in that time. I may even get cockroaches in my home because of being gone so long... no, I'm not joking, it can happen in this game.

Oh, and even though it's not online, there's a great trading system. Say I have an apple and I want a cherry (some towns only start with one or two kinds of fruit). I can trade with someone via PW on the net. I give the name of the player and his/her town, and then the fruit. I then get a PW to give them, so only they can use it. This works for just about every item in the game. Even the NES roms!

I have it preordered and I bought a GameCube/GBA linker... The game itself comes with a free memory card, which is cool, even though the game takes up 57 out of 59 blocks. It really sounds cool, even though I'm not a huge Harvest Moon fan, this just seems like it would be much more fun and less of a chore than Harvest Moon...

I have yet to get any.... but the ones I know for sure:

Excite Bike
Punch Out
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Donkey Kong Math
Ballon Fight

I think Super Mario Bros... not sure what the other games are. You can use the GBA/GCN hookup cable to upload these games onto your GBA! When you turn the GBA off, however, the games go away. There's a sleep mode, however, that practically turns the GBA off, but still gives it just enough power to keep the games in memory. Pretty neat.

Sounds cool Spike!

Shit...I just wish they had some more of the goody classics. Legend of Zelda... <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" /> . Damn they should just release one big ass Gamecube CD with every NES game in existence which was licensed by Nintendo. :) Then do the SNES too while they are at it. :D

hell yes.
i paid off the game and got the official gba linker.
this game looks soooo cool.
its more my style. just sit back and do whatever.
instead of doing some task that you re scripted to
do like rpgs and the like.
the one with the horns looks cool.
yea. horns.
sweet.
i dont know why i m so excited about the game.
a game where you just kinda hang around
i m pretty interested in the ecard idea too but it isnt the
main idea why i gotta have it.
i m gonna try to get some friends to buy the game
so i can visit some friends' towns :D
it ll be something to keep me tied up till PSO 1&2
comes out.

Don't even get me started on PSO1+2. I can't WAIT for that to come out to the GCN. I know what I'm doing when that comes out... and it ain't going out of the house. ;)
