Heck yeah, Gamecube! Luigi's Mansion is one I never got to try. I never really felt the pull for it when I was younger (that was a time where longer games and broader content were more highly valued). These days, I appreciate its strengths so much more, and I'd love to give it a try. Wave Race: Blue Storm is one I did own. Once again, I didn't really appreciate the seemingly little amount of content at the time (especially when I also had F-Zero GX), but looking back, that game had plenty of strengths. Gamefeel was superb, and it looked great for the time. Surprising amount of personality for such a western-coded game, too. I'm sure it's coming to the NSO, and I do hope I can give it another shot sooner rather than later.

This was a really fun read, learning about these unique titles   And it seems the Virtual Boy had even fewer games than I thought!

I think the NSO version restored the original adverts. The Virtual Console had Wii and DS logos everywhere.

Wasn't feeling it at first, but that last scene is actually kind of brilliant. Cautiously optimistic.

We occasionally get prototype stuff manufactured at work, and we've dabbled with some Chinese companies. You can get the exact same part sent over from China, usually quicker, and for about a quarter of the cost of getting it done locally (one company offered to make us the first few parts for FREE). Obviously if there's anything wrong or if you need a quick mod, you can't do anything, but it's easy to see why people will turn to Chinese companies.
