Skies of Arcadia Legends... on the Wii- no that doesn't count.

Playing Elite earlier; I've got different save files for various different playing styles, and I've sunk about 50 hours into the "blow up absolutely everything as soon as you see it" file and I'm still only Dangerous. :( I swear it didn't go up this slowly before.

I had a go on Mario World return to Dinosaur land today. So far it is a pretty good fan made game with a couple of well designed levels.

Super Mario World on my Gameboy Micro, does that qualify as retro? I love it for the music alone, especially when the Yoshi bongos kick in :D

Yeah, the music on the Super Mario Advance version is tinnier that I remember it being when I had the original SNES version, even with my nice earphones. I'm not buying a SNES though, I have to stop buying new systems to collect for!

Quite. I already have Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super Mario Advance 2, 3 and 4 and A Link to The Past on the GBA, pretty much all I want on a SNES with the exception of Super Probotector.

Yeah I am about the same. I got away with the SNES as it for my 30th but my wife is glad I have cut down on buying stuff.
