Are these the low res versions of the games? If not I'll pass.

You say this as if there could have been hi-res remakes. These games are presented in their native resolutions (except the GB games, which are blown up to scale to be on the TV screen). They look just fine, as these games were always amazing looking (on their respective systems). Methinks a contemplation of the line in my signature is in order for those looking for hi-res versions of old school Kirby games. ^_^

Also, the challenge stages are presented with the same graphical quality as Return to Dreamland.

Awesome - I've been looking forward to this. It's kind of sad though that this will be the last game made by Nintendo that we will see on the wii. It's been a great 6 years - and I'll be looking forward to good things on the wii u.

I bought it and can confirm that it IS indeed awesome!

Can you also confirm if there are any instructions on backing out of the classic games without using the Home menu's Reset button? Inquiring minds want to know!

Just in case it doesn't freeze like the Japanese version if you press home and reset.
It goes back to the Dream Collection menu.
I wonder why did Nintendo changed a lot of extras from the Japanese version?
They should've left the manga and other stuff.

Man it would be awful if Nintendo HD'd these. Takes away the charm and leaves them souless.
Acctually these are presented in a higer res, namely: 640x480.( technically high res )
Original resolutions are 240p.
Nintendo also managed to do this with the mario anniversary edition, wich was a let down to be honest.
This means there will be no scanlines on a crt tv, in other words these games look crap on LCD and CRT tv's.
Better of using emulators wich support the games native resolutions instead of resulting in the Wii's native output signal.

So yes I'll pass.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
