My name is Ben. This is my blog.
I enjoy working in Adobe Flash when I have the time and I've churned out a few websites as a result. I call myself a gamer, although I'm admittedly a bit of a fanboy; you could print "Nintendo" on a roll of toilet paper and I'd bid for that shit on eBay.
Seriously though, I play a lot of games and my platform of choice right now is the DS. There are a ton of sidescrollers and traditional RPGs that I remember playing a lot when I was younger. Better yet, I missed a lot of games on the Super Nintendo back in the day (they were like $70 or something) and a big trend on the DS right now is remaking and re-releasing them for this generation of gamers. I eat that shit up. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Shiren the Wanderer FTW.
My Top Seven Favorite Game Franchises:
1. Dragon Quest
2. Half-Life
3. Mario (excluding some)
4. Castlevania
5. Metroid
6. Ace Attorney
7. Resident Evil
Some of my favorite games (In no particular order):
Paper Mario, Xenogears, Okami, the entire Resident Evil Series, Super metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, The World Ends With You, Mario Kart DS, Kirby Canvas Curse, Super Mario Galaxy, Fire Emblem: Path of radience, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, Dr. Mario, Devil's Crush, Ninja gaiden (NES), Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest Heros: Rocket Slime, the Phoenix Wright series, Hotel Dusk, The Longest Journey, Breath of Fire III, Half-Life 2, Lock's Quest, Henry Hatsworth, Rhythm Heaven, and many others that I just can't think of right now...

Taken from GoNintendo:
While they aren’t available for download via the US VC yet, take a look at what pictures popped up on the US VC servers. These images come from the Firefox workaround that allows you to check out upcoming VC games. 
Looks like Nintendo is welcoming Prime 3 with a little classic Metroid. Hopefully these games will hit in the weeks leading up to Prime 3’s release. Ugh, what's this mushy stuff? Oh... it seems as though I've shit my pants... link and link

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
That made my week.
Oh dammit. Now I'm salivating as well.
Must buy classic controller and Wii points card.
I'm about to say something that I know I'll catch a shitload of flak for.
I never beat either of the two games pictured. My first beaten Metroid game was Metroid II then Metroid Fusion and Prime.
I know, burn the heathen etc etc.
Put these up Nintendo, and I will download and play them to completion!
I just told this turtle what you said. (turtles can't read but love to play old Nintendo games, BTW...)
Wanna hear something worse? I own five incarnations of the original metroid (The unlockable in Fusion, the extra in Zero Mission, the GBA re-release, and both NES versions), and I've still never beat it! Too HARD!
Your name is starting to materialize itself into something too real for me.
Dude, there's maps EVERYWHERE on how to beat the original Metroid. I can beat it without any of those map. Or type in freakin' Justin Bailey and get to Mother Brain. At that point, they're handing you the freakin' keys.
Secondary note: If you are wearing pants, change them.
Ouch, that stung a bit.
I know there are maps and walkthroughs for it, it's just a matter of actually playing the game. I dunno if it's just my young childhood memories of playing it and sucking so bad, but I just can't get too far in it. I've never even made it to Kraid. Maybe I'll pick it up and try again. Lord knows I've got access to it...
And I know about Justin Baily, I just don't want to use any codes. Even though it's too hard for me, I don't want to cheat.

Suck on that bitches!
Have you heard about Dyson's 2 hour run challenge for Super Metroid?
If anyone here can accomplish it, it's you and I, the reigning Dtoid pinball champs.
As for right now, I'm all about beating the original Metroid. My pride has been bruised...
