I wouldn't give money to the funny japanese man because, frankly, my childhood memories live on in the carefully maintained friendships from that simpler time, in the games I play with my young cousins and the children of my friends who have decided to raise a family and in the flights of fancy that can take life in that strange place between slumber and wakefulness. But mostly because I never had a nintendo and my first computer game was wolfenstein 3D.

Ok, you've spoken about Sega like it's a long dead friend loads of times but this was just cruel. My name actually is Billy and those games on the Ultimate Genesis Collection ARE 5 years worth of Christmas/Birthday gifts being tossed in a bargin bin. Hell, my mum still talks about the Christmas I got my MD, and how it didn't work and I had to wait until the 27th to get it fixed, but, even though I was only 7 years old I didn't complain because I at least owned one... It was that special to me.

As someone living in the ruins of the Sega house, I'm glad there's at least one company for whom making good, fun games is not a business model. It's THE business model.

God..I grew up with Sega Megadrive (strangely) and It has been the one of the most painful things watching the blue blur turned into something that is begging to be put down. Sitting at the age of 8 playing Sonic adventure 2, I knew, I just knew it was all over. But Nintendo, thank god you survived, I'm glad you haven't changed.

I felt this way with Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold. The original Gold and Silver were not only my favorite pokemon games, but they released around the best part of my life. To be able to experience it again, albiet with all the additions, was a godsend during the relatively stressful end of high school.

Great! Now I feel horrible for having an Xbox 360. I will ALWAYS love you Nintendo!!!! Microsoft and Sony will never have that going for them from me :D.
