Can we count updated versions of games? Like the XBLA/PSN/Wii download service that I don't know the name of?

What about Saints Row 2 for the pc?
Yea i agree. The game it self is awesome but my PC (It can run GTA IV with everything set to high.) only managed to run it with everything on low and still lagged a bit. Also the car controls on PC were horrible, when you tried to slightly adjust you trajectory it did a 90 degree turn. I had to chage cars so often that i eventually gave up and just walked everywhere.

Wiiware.
No, it's WiiConnect24
Youre both wrong.
Its Wii virtual console. Short for VC.
WiiWare are the new games made for download (not updated versions of older games).
Both type of games are bought through Wii shop channel though, in the same way.

It's Wiiware. Wiiconnect24 is just something that allows the Wii to be connected to the internet even if it's turned off. Wiiware is the services that allows new games to be downloaded.

Thats it! Virtual console.

As for the worst port, Mario 64 DS.

The only version of the game I'd played. And it sucked so hard. I don't see how the games so popular, unless the DS port was just a piece of shit. Which may be the reason that I hated it.

I do believe that infamous game that made the "all your base" fad should be considered a bad port, as the terrible introductory sequence was added on the Sega Mega Drive version, apparently.

That port was actually well done, for me the problem was that character switching mechanic that fucked with the level progression. Some of the easy stars in the N64 version required you to use characters you had to unlock in later, harder parts of the game in the DS version.

Well, I guess I just don't like that game, then. And I usually like platformers. But that game sucked, imo. Thanks, though.

It's a shame, when the original defined 3D gaming as we know it today, and is one of the best games ever made.
