btw hinkle, I dont know about others but I think you shouldn't include week releases after the break, I mean, it should be important enough to make it to the front page :D

Last I heard, Capcom and Nintendo said Mega Man 9 was "coming in September," so likely a few more weeks.
If this release is any indication, it'll be Mega Man this week, Mega Man 2 next week, and Mega Man 9 on September 1...and since Sept. 1 is Labor Day, most of us will have a day off to fully enjoy it :-)

I don't like how Atomic Planet tampered with the Megaman games in Megaman Anniversary Collection. The games are too blurry, the colors look very faded, there are inconsistancies in the music, Megaman 6's opening cutscene uses the Japanese version's music (and since Japan uses less text to tell a story, the song is shorter) so the music ends halfway through and the last half of the opening movie plays in total silence, the scene during Megaman 7's credits was removed, and Megaman 8's music fades in and out when loud sound effects play. Not to mention the jump-button/shoot-button switch was the bumbest idea ever. I'd rather have the NES originals, the way CAPCOM wanted me to play it, not the way Atomic Planet wants me to play it.

I noticed that too a long while ago, every time the author of an article mentions a "break", there turns out to be no "break" at all, it just ends up being single a line skipped to begin a new paragraph.

Actually, "break" or "jump" means having to click through to continue on with a post. All of our posts are houses on the main page, meaning you can type up nintendowiifanboy.com and read all of our stories. But, when we refer to something being "after the break," you either have to click on the title of the post to get to the continued portion of that particular post, or the link at the bottom of the beginning text (which is the break between the part of the post seen on the front page and the entirety of it).
Actually, I might have just made it more confusing. :D
Hope it helps somewhat! :)

High Resolution is a story from 20 years ago? Well, there's your innovation, Sony, Microsoft.
