off topic but certainly of passing interest to wii owners, but has anyone seen the kellogg's smart start commercial in which playing wii sports is being presented as one of the three or four activities the women in the commercial are using to "make their heart stronger?" starting a new thread to mention it and how bizarre it is would have made it seem as if i was some dope celebrating nintendo's proliferation into that culture, and i didn't want to shit up the front page with a new thread in that vein, but holy shit at how wacky that is.

Password save (or simple level select to any level you have reached before, in the PC version) is a very nice and badly needed improvement (the game is hard). The original SNES/Genesis versions do have level skip cheatcodes at least, but even so. EWJ2 had password save from the start. |

Copypasta'd from Capcom-Unity. Seems like Megaman 1 is VC bound Monday:

Then again, Sega sent out a press release for Vectorman last year, and we're still waiting on that, so who knows.  |
