"Well if you ever get an iPod or iPhone don't forget about sports games as a way to expand your mobile gaming palate, I'm very glad I did"

"Sorry it's taken so long to respond to this, I took your advice and picked up the original GameCube version and loved it! :D I even found an E-Reader and some AC cards on Ebay for cheap ( I already had a GBA and GBA-GC linking cable) to get the whole experience for less than the cost of buying City Folk new. Thanks for the advice and comment!"

"I remember begging my mom to take me to pizza hut because they had an arcade cabinet in the corner with bust-a-move on it. Many quarters were spent trying to match those suckers up"

"I wrote about this around a month ago: http://www.bitmob.com/articles/rehash-or-definitive-version-future-proofing-review-archives , I kind of go off on a different tangent but I think my solution could work!"

"
Going to have to give Madden the edge because they always give love to da Bears! – in every game they tend to rate Bears players a little higher than they probably deserve haha. That and the fact that in NCAA my alma mater, Northwestern, always seems to get the shaft. Maybe that changed this year thanks to our Outback Bowl appearance, but I have yet to pick it up so I don’t know. I know it sounds weird but I always prefer the announcing in Madden too, it just seems more professional."

"uppose I am in the minority then thinking that Nintendo Power actually has gotten tremendously better since the re-design and purchase by Future Inc a few years back. I too have fond memories of the magazine growing up and have a complete collection dating back to issue 88. Clearly the mag was at it's best in these older issues, but it definitely became a ridiculously obvious promo tool during the gamecube era when nintendo still published the magazine on its own. Hell they wouldn't even mention the competition by name. This was a time when I actually started my subscription to EGM (instead of picking them up at the library) as an alternative.
Anyways, after Chris Slate took over as editor-in-chief i feel like this promo aspect went away and the magazine became simply a place to only talk about games on nintendo systems. I even feel like the writing got better than the almost pure PR drivel in the gamecube era. They even did an all-rpg issue a few months back with some well-written previews. I think all you haters need to take a second look and just ignore the cover game stories if you don't like"

"'t forget some good old drunken baseball for NES! everyone knows the rules for baseball and the nice, stable 8-bit graphics will keep people from puking all over your floor. plus you get the added bonus of a drinking game where you take a shot for ever"

"ead this site all the time and am a regular listener to the mobcast but haven't actually signed up for an account until a few minutes ago because i normally like to be a passive member of internet communities. for some reason though i felt compelled to sign up after reading this story simply because the comments on this site make me happy. the members of the bitmob community refrain from asinine remarks or console fighting and i want anyone who reads this particular comment to know that i appreciate it very much. it's refreshing to know everyone on the interwebs is not a classless dick.
ANYWAYS, nice quick preview shoe, i enjoyed playing umbrella chronicles co-op with my buddy but was weary of dropping another $50 on something that might just be more of the same. it seems like the developers are taking criticism seriously and trying to make a better"

As for the game, I'm happy I only gave the original NBA Jam remake a rent last year (although I do own it on my iPod) because this version is definitely a buy for me."
