I will have 500 points left over after buying a game, and I've narrowed down my choices to these two games. I have a question about Soul of Darkness, though. Can you play it without the camera (like if you're in bed supposed to be sleeping)?

I love the good old brick breaker games, but I love the Castlevania games as well.

Edit: Also, whats the difficulty level of Soul of Darkness and how is it for the gameplay length?

...psst...you forgot to mention the other game(s) that you said you were interested in.

xD My bad. I copy and pasted it from my thread somewhere else that had the games in the title.

Soul of Darkness or Alphabounce.

Ooh! Go with AlphaBounce! It's one of the better Brick Breakers on DSi, adds some nice touches here and there, and it'll last you a lot longer. Soul of Darkness is just some watered down Castlevania clone on a console that already has 3 real (extremely good) Castlevanias. Just get yourself AlphaBounce and save up for a real Castlevania game (if you don't have them all already, and if you do, just replay them, maybe play one of the extra modes or something. You'd still be better off )

Go with Gates of Thunder (the best Shoot 'em up on your list) and Tomana Sanner (the most crazy and addictive game you'll play on Wiiware).

Crackdown or Fable II?

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

Rolls Dice Ummmm...pumpernickel. Wait, why did I put that on there?

But in all seriousness, that is a hard choice right there, since I enjoyed both games, and judging from what I know about your tastes, I think you have a pretty good chance of liking them both, too. What's your timeframe? The price, if you know? Do you have any prior knowledge of either game? I'll be back later when I'm not about to pass out.

If it's a win-win situation, I'm think gonna go with Fable II. A RPG sounds good right about now, plus, I like dogs.

Well, I think these games I'm leaning towards Purchasing:

VC:
Kirby Super Star
Cybernator
Pulseman
Soldier Blade

WiiWare:
Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent
Mega Man 10
Tomena Sanner

Also know that I can buy more Wii Points. And to be specific, I have $63 bucks at the moment

Pulseman, Soldier Blade, and Tomana Sanner!<3 Those would be the ones I'd pick. Pulse Man is one of the better platformers on the Genesis, and certainly one of the best Genny Titles on VC. Soldier Blade is a great Shmup with a balanced difficulty an weapon system. Tomana Sanner is just so weird and rediculous, you just have to play it!

Get Mega Man 10 and Kirby Super Star (unless you already own the DS version, then buy Pulseman).

I've always wanted to try the Street Fighter games but there are so many on VC I'm not sure which to buy. Recommendations?

Either Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers or Street Fighter Alpha 2 would be the perfect fit for you. If you're familiar with 2D Fighting games and have played some of the more complicated games in the genre, I'd recommend going with Alpha 2, since it's a deeper game that's a bit harder to learn. If you're new to the genre, or have only played simpler games such as Super Smash Bros. or Capcom VS. series, I'd suggest going with Super Street Fighter II, since it's a little simpler and easier to learn.

Ah! Thanks for the help.

I would go with option number 4.

Depends on your skill level. Pulseman and Soldier Blade are short, but are difficult enough that it will take you some time and practice to finish. You simply can't beat the the first time through. Soldier Blade also has a 2 Minute and 5 minute modes, which are pretty addicting if you like trying to beat your high scores. Pulseman is also fairly replayable with secrets and stuff to collect and find in every level.

Cybernator is the longest and the hardest, but the reason why I wouldn't recommend it is because much of that difficult stems from the control scheme, which can be off-putting for some.

Kirby Superstar Is the easiest and the shortest. It has multiple games to play, but if you're even moderately good at platformers, you'll have it completed in a weekend at most. So far I haven't really noticed much reason to go back to it, either.

Tomana Sanner is super short - you can beat it in an afternoon - but its highly replayable, with lots of secrets on every level, Multiple difficulty levels, and it'll take tons of practice if you intend to reach the top of the scoreboard.

Mega Man 10 is also pretty short, but its very hard, and has loads of replay value, especially if you get all the DLC. The only problem is that it really is the hardest Main series Mega Man game I've played, and I can't say I haven't made much progress yet, and not for a lack of trying. If your patience level is low, it probably won't last you too long. There is an easy mode, but its too easy - if you've ever beaten a Mega Man game before, you'll beat it in an afternoon, guaranteed.

Get DQ9. It'll last you until you save up to get an SNES in the fall. Don't get Earthbound. It's not wirth the overly inflated price they're charging nowadays. You'd be better off spending the money on more affordable commodities and wait until Earthbound gets an inevitable rerelease.

Actually, i kinda liked Earthbound. I played up until a certain point but then it reset and put me at the beginning of the game
But the game seems heavy on level grinding which i like in all RPG's other than Pokemon.
But thanks anyway Mickey Mac

I never said it was a bad game. I said its not worth the price you'll pay. Nothing is. It can cost as much as a G-ddamn console for crying out loud.
