Yea really. The GameCube was the cheapest at $260. The Vita was almost that price. Come to I think of it, I'd like to see a handheld comparison chart now.

Seems like they steadily decreased since the $400 NES. Interesting. I think Nintendo was never about making a premium device to wow your friends with like maybe Sony was. Maybe it's that they tend to aim a bit younger in their audience. 

I'd download it but I'm in the midst of a RETRO FEVER and may be down for a few weeks. You know, when those RETRO FEVERS hit, they hit hard.

As soon as I saw Soda Popinsky, I had to run to the refrig and get a soda myself. That's one hellava man!

I got my Dreamcast similarly when Gamestop was just getting rid of them. I seem to remember $20. That thing will never leave my sight I tell you.

No Castlevania III? I AM going to have to look at this thing a little closer.

Nothing like live chat.

Forgot about Project X-Zone. I have to check that out if only for the Sakura Wars and Valkyria Chronicles characters.

I recall now reading that Miyamoto was thinking of a dog on a chain for the Chain Chomps idea.

Yea, plus they used to shoot balls with chains on them in real cannons. [wiki search] They're called Chain Shot and they were used to shred sails and rigging in opposing ships at close range.

Granted it's not exactly like a Chain Chomp.
