I find myself playing a lot more older games than newer games. I guess I really like to revisit the past. The games I have installed on my computer are: Red Alert 2, Half-Life, Metal Gear Solid, and a little gem called SpaceTripper. If you looked in my games folder and didn't know any better you would think the date was some where in the late ninties. Since I got my PS2 and GameCube I have been exposed to a lot of new games, which has been fun. However, the other day I stumbled across Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for the GC and decided it was worth laying down a bit of money for. I haven't had much chance to play it yet though. But how great is that, a SE version of MGS with GC style graphics (PSX graphics really haven't aged well, give me an SNES or an N64 anyday of the week!). It seems mostly the same, but it has been a while since I played the old version. One thing I don't like is that they redid all the voice acting, with the exact same actors??? I feel the delivery of the voice acting was better in the original, and the 2D animation for the intro briefing videos was cooler than the redone ones which use the 3D models. It is nice revisiting an old classic on a new system. I would have never thought I'd ever play MGS on a Nintendo system.

Hmm, I also just noticed that there is a character named Snake on the possibly fake "Final Roster for Brawl". Would that be Snake as in the Metal Gear games? MG isn't even close to being a Nintendo property. Sure, the first one and the non-canonical second one were released for the NES and there has been the remake for the GC and a Gameboy game, but it still doesn't feel like he belong in a game where he fights against Mario and Link using pokeballs and star wands. He would also be the only character from an M rated game.
