A sale on the Virtual Console?!?!?! Looks like hell froze over. Hopefully we will see future Virtual Console, WiiWare, and DSiWare sales.

This is indeed very cool! If only Nintendo did more of these things, especially for WiiWare games.

Thanks for the tip, Luke!

Yeah, I'm hoping Nintendo continues these sales like Sony does with PSN.

Hot Story

In Memory of Michael Alvarado

When 1up started the process of shutting down, there was one person who seemed to lead to charge to congregate the community in a single place. After his first visit here, it wasn't long before a slew of new members arrived. The site came alive and the real story of PixlBit began - the one that involves all of you. The person I'm referring to is, of course, Michael Alvarado, otherwise known as Michael117.
