[img align=right]http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-027/ss/U-027-S-00360-A.jpg&sizex=150[/img]This week is special for a lot of us. Families are getting together to remember everything they're thankful for, a good meal, some board games with the cousins, or some good shopping deals. The anticipation for that turkey to come out of the oven is great. Well, what better game to feature than Anticipation for the NES?! I know it's not one of the best NES games (nor is it in the top 100 most likely), but I felt that this was a great time to feature it! It plays like a board game on your TV. Read the review for my take.
Our featured image is from Family Feud on the SNES. As I sit here watching a little TV, I see that Family Feud is on reruns right now. It's starring that Al guy from Home Improvement. It's basically the exact same show as 30 years ago. Pretty amazing that it's still around in a similar form (...please, please return Wheel of Fortune to it's simpler, better days without hundreds of bonuses and crap quick puzzles).
Our featured hardware is the new Nintendo Wii glove from Nintendo themselves. Maybe the TV market will start to die off since they may not be throwing their WiiMotes mindlessly. Nevermind...people still will.
The featured collection is from shaggy. Shaggy works extremely hard to keep his collection clean, organized, and complete. I think he's slowly compiling a great collection!
Everyone, please have a safe, happy, and wonderful holiday. Remember everyone that is in your life to allow you to eat that turkey this Thursday. And when you've eaten your fill, come over to RFG to talk it up!

[img align=right]http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-027/gs/U-027-S-00850-A.jpg&sizex=150[/img]This week's features start out with a well made game from the Nintendo Entertainment System library. Bionic Commando is a game that most NES fans have played and enjoyed. It has a neat concept where you cannot jump. Instead, you use your bionic arm (a la Inspector Gadget style) to move from platform to platform. Not only does it help you move, the arm also attacks enemies and grabs items from a distance. Overall, a great game for a cheap price.
The featured image this week is from a system that not many of us bothered with. The Nokia NGage's Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Team Stealth Action. The gun on the art is pointed right at your head, or possibly at the head of the guy standing over your left shoulder! Ack!
Our featured hardware is for the Double Player Wireless Head-to-Head System by Acclaim. What does that long title suggest? 2 wireless controllers. I know, not as exciting as the original title, but trust me, these controllers we awesome! Not very many third party controllers can stand up to the original, but these do the trick.
The featured collection is that of justabum's. He has a very impressive NES complete in box collection that looks like it's nearing completion. It must have cost a ton of money, or possibly just great trading. Send him a messege! Maybe he has something you're looking for or maybe you have something that he values.
Well, that's it for this week. It's time for me to get back to work. Until next time, keep it tuned in to channel 3 here at the wonderful, splendiferous RFG.
(The writer of this article takes any and all responsibility for harm that the word 'splendiferous' may have caused to the reader.)
 This week, it's time to bring out the big gun!
Our featured game this week is Super Mario Bros. 3! A favorite for many, many gamers. Maybe it is because we all grew up with this game, maybe it is because it is just stellar in every way, or maybe it is because of the silly plumber that we have all been trained to see as the poster boy of Nintendo.
Honestly, I think the answer is in all three. This is a game we grew up playing, it is a wonderful game from nearly every angle, and it does star the famous poster boy Mario. That aside, in Super Mario Bros. 3, you take on the role of Mario to defeat the evil Koopa King Bowser and his friends. With many more abilities than in the previous games, you have to be quicker, smarter, and more cunning than ever before! Check this game out if you haven't already. If you haven't, I feel sorry for you.
Our featured image comes from the Nintendo DS's Cars. This is a cute game full of races and mini-games. It is obviously based on the wildly popular Disney/Pixar movie. How could I not pick this image? Look at the car. He's so cuuuuuute! Well, my wife thinks so anyway.
Our featured hardware is in my opinion, terrible. The Turbo Touch 360 for the SNES is so hard to use, not sensitive, and not comfortable. Disagree with me? Let me know!
Lastly, our featured collection is from jtaylor. The collection may be small, but they definitely have some great games (including our featured game)! I bet our featured collection's owner has some great stories about where some of these games came from. Send him a message and find out!
Well, that's it for now folks. In the meantime, send checks payable to me and keep it tuned to channel 3!
