Yes, so I purchased Megaman Anniversary Collection for the GC and Megaman Battle Network 4: Red Sun. I decided to buy the Anniversary collection for GC because I felt that since all Megaman games were released on Nintendo systems, it would only be respectful if I bought the anniversary collection on a Nintendo system. Plus, I expected the controller and stuff to be easier to use on a Gamecube then a Playstation. I have already beaten Megaman and Megaman IV, but I think my sister screwed something up. She started playing Megaman 4 after I finished playing one day, but I wasn't done Megaman I yet, so she started playing, and I didn't expect anything to be wrong. You know, you die, it saves automatically, etc etc, no big deal. But when I went to go load up my game, I couldn't access any other Megaman games, only 1 and 4. Since I beat 1, I wanted to play 2, but I couldn't. So I thought "Ok, maybe it only lets you select two at a time", so I beat 4, and then it saved, etc. Then, I went back to the game selection screen, and I still can't access any other games. So, I don't know if my sister screwed something up, or there is some weird bug, or if I have to do something. Either way, it is sort of pissing me off, so I am going to try to find how to fix it tommorow. I checked the game manual and FAQ's online, and it didn't mention anything. But, Red Sun is a lot of fun. I've only played it a bit, but so far it is pretty normal, same battle system, sort of. I mean, now you have the Emotion Window and Full Synchro, plus Soul Unisons, and you can't get bug frags from killing enemies with a counter, counters give you Full Synchro. But, there are mystery data's in random battles, and if they don't get hit, you get the treasure, so far I have only gotten money (mainly 2000 zenny), and bug frags. The graphics have been refined just a little bit, so stuff looks slightly better, and the little picture faces that come up when people talk have changed, they look better. But, let's see how good it gets when i get more into it..Apparantly it is pretty long and vast.
Oh, I also purchased Hoshi no Koe/Voices from a Distant Star. It is a an anime movie by Makoto Shinkai. It is very very good, I like the animation and the mix of 3D CG and normal artwork, the story is great. It is sad though, but still very good, and it is only 30 minutes, well..75 with all the extra DVD stuff. Basically it is about these two middle school students who were great friends, and loved each other, and were supposed to go to the same High school together, but then the girl (Mikako), was drafted to be a battle pilot for the U.N in space, because they are going to research this new alien species that attacked Mars. It is based about 30 years in the future, but the technology is like, 100 years in the future. So basically, they can only communicate by email through their cell phones, but as she goes further into space, the time it takes for the guy to recieve her mail goes from 8 months, to 1 and a half years, to 8 years, etc. So, as he ages, she stays, well, looks the same age, but I guess she would stay the same age or age very little due to light-years, and time compressions or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it is a very sad movie, that was just the jist of it, but everyone should watch it. I mean, it is only 30 minutes, so it's not like if you hate it it will kill you to sit through it; if you don't like it, it is like watching a bad episode of something. And it also has his first short animation, which is 5 minutes long (that is the whole thing). It is also pretty cool, it is about a girl and her cat, and it is from the cat's perspective, and like, yeah, it is hard to explain, but it is cool.
Anyways, I have to get going, so I'll update another time.
