Download Bags. Nothing beats playing cornhole on a video game system. I think it was only like $7 or something like that when I downloaded it.
I downloaded this one.I thought the action needed some work.When you throw the bag it's just weird.

I agree that it needs a little work...but I think it just takes some getting used to. Once you get used to it, it's really not that bad.

Although, I played the version at bars quite a bit before it came out on the Wii...so I was used to the graphics and action of it.

Yeah, New Super Mario Bros is VERY frustrating lol.. My G/F and I play it together and we always go to war over it, but then a few moments later we're cracking up over something one of us did...

We're on the last level running away from Bowsher and are having a hell of a time trying to beat it.. I think she's used over 40 continues and I'm around 30... lol.. It's bad... Love the game though.

They appear to be Nintendo branded, just the Asian version, but I can't tell for sure.

Well, for that price it is probably worth the gamble.

Can you still mod the Wii? Didn't they catch on and include a fix on game discs...wont let you play the game until you install the update...and the update is for your system that eliminates the ability to mod it with homebrew.

Maybe I'm wrong or there's a new way to do it.

On my old TV I was able to play downloaded NES games (Mario, Sonic, Tecmo)...I hooked it up to my new HDTV and now I can't play those games...does anyone have any idea of what might have gone wrong?

Mario Kart is crack. Simple crack.

We have Wii Fit Plus, crack and WIi sports. The boxing is truly cool.

That's something I thought too. But my wife bought that 'DJ Hero' game. And in order to play it..yes..we had to do the update. But after we updated. The Home Brew hack still worked. I'm still able to play my burnt games on it.
