3. There's no way to quickly skip ahead say, an hour. You have to just fast forward for awhile, and it's not fast enough.
Actually, there's a feature that mimics TiVo's "jump to tick" feature. Just hit the right (or left if rewinding) arrow that's on the "d-pad" at the top of the remote while fast-forwarding. Or at least that works on my Scientific Atlanta box.
They're not selling very many copies of Super Mario Bros. 3 anymore, despite the fact that it was, and still is, fun.
Nintendo is still selling SMB3, just repackaged and targeted to the GBA. And lots of people are buying it. And lots of people are buying the Game Boy Player so they can play it on their television instead of hunching over a GBA. I bought it for the nostalgia, but a lot of kids are seeing it for the first time this way.
My buddy just carried out an interesting (albeit unintentional) experiment with his 3rd grade son. He gave his son the new Zelda "Collectors Edition" disc with the original Zelda, Zelda 2, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. My buddy and I were talking about all the time we spent on Zelda when we were his son's age, and how it was neat that his son would now be playing the same game, blah blah blah...so the kid pops in the disc and goes straight to Majora's Mask. Doesn't even glance at the originals.
The conclusion that my friend and I have reached is that we are obsolete.
