I'd buy it anyway, whatever they do.

...does anybobody know when Dream Land 2 will be realeased for North America?

Nope. All that is known that Game & Watch Gallery 2 is next in America. Nobody knows what is next after that.

I have no interest in Metal Slug 3 but I am glad the VC is continued to being supported. If this keeps up, they may release a game I must download (that said, I want Mega Man 5 but have yet to download it).

Just beat Ice Dragon. I feel like this game lacks the charm the original had in graphics and audio. The only good tunes in this game are ones taken or remixed from the original. The new music is quite forgettable. The graphics are quite bland for a Kirby game (but still good compared to many GB games). And as far as gameplay goes, having played other games, it doesn't quite capture the intricacies of those games. There's no slide for example which I miss having. Still, it is the best of the original Dream Land trilogy (only because the original is too short and easy while the third game is a departure from tradition) but not as good as the NES game.

I like the idea of having a physical game.

I lost my a DS cartridge. A Wii disc has become scratched and unplayable.

However the VC games I downloaded on my Wii back in 2006 still work fine. IF (not 'when') my Wii or 3DS break, then as long as I feel like I've played the games I have downloaded for long enough then it won't hurt so much. I will then look at the games as just a 'rental'. I will just download a few of my favorites again and carry on playing.

I just played the first stage of Rayman Origins and wasn't too impressed. The graphics do look quite lovely in 3D though.

You only get a VC game this week because there's no 3DSWare game.

Coincidence? I think not.

I was thinking of an eShop version of Mario Kart. It would be identical to Mario Kart 7 (in gameplay and graphics) except that there are only 12 or 16 new courses, not seen in Mario Kart 7. It would be like DLC but you don't need the Mario Kart 7 cartridge to play it. However, if you do have the cartridge, every character and part you have unlocked will also unlocked on this eShop Mario Kart game. Coins you earn in the eShop game will be sent to the Mario Kart 7 cartridge if its inserted.

I wonder what it would have took for this game to have gotten a perfect 10.

Well, who would download this after the good Sonic games come out? Releasing it now ensures some downloads. Even if the people who do are disappointed with it and feel like they wasted their money.

@NTELLIGENTMAN Nobody is asking you to. But if there's a particular game that somebody can't find at all at retail, like with Virtual Console games already, then there is the digital option.

Hey... this looks familar.

Me too. Still annoyed I never got to play Namco X Capcom.

I wouldn't have given it a second glance even if I had. Its no Joe & Mac.

@DerpSandwich Mario & Wario on the Super Famicom. Wario drops a bucket on Mario's head and now Mario can't jump.

@RadioShadow It would only have been £4.50 due to the Sonic name. If it were the same game but featured an obscure character, it would likely have been £2.70 or £3.60

Been waiting to own this since 1995.

sure. may even be a demo I keep. i can only keep a few without running out of space.

@PlatinumGamerX The best game library in history would easily belong to the SNES and PS1.

And you have Super Mario 64 DS.

I never saw it for sale at all in England when it was supposed to have been released originally. Did anyone see it at all?

@pastasauce Game Gear games count too, you know.

Those systems will likely come in the future. Remember that not all the consoles that the Wii VC supports were available in the first year either.

I downloaded it but it doesn't really have the same appeal to me after playing the GBA version.

I thought they pushed everything they got into Brawl but they're making a sequel to that. Money really does talk.

Is one game for each new console in future too many? thats what mario kart does and people consider that too many. I disagree. More than one game per console perhaps unless its a really big game like Super Mario Galaxy 2.

I just hope the run of Wii VC games continues. Doesn't matter if they're good or bad.

@Crouteru Nobody wanted Monster World IV?

I am quite pleased to see three VC games this week. They're not for me but I still call it a good week.

@Mickeymac The generic names are most likely place-holder / work-in-progress names as has been said earlier. Doesn't mean they're not real games.

No, I think Nintendo would do that. Have two new versions of a game on two different consoles. And Mii is an appropriate name to be a sequel to Wii.

Just get the cheapest, RadioShadow.

You're right... it wouldn't be the first time that Sega has announced a game in advance only to be let down by Nintendo.

Getting this as soon as its released!

People will still call it a pretty crap week because they can't play Wario Land on 3DS.

And next week America gets two import Wonder Boy games (arcade and Genesis)!

Sega should make a Hang-On sequel. The last one was on the Saturn in 1996.

@tertium_quid Seeing as Kirby's Block Ball is confirmed to be the next game, there was no way it would be any other VC game.

Super Hang On is pretty decent, right? Never played it myself or paid attention to it. Plus a Wii VC game is rarer than a 3DS VC game, especially a VC Arcade game.

@NintyFan Doki Doki Panic is a licensed game from some Japanese TV series or something. Our Super Mario Bros. 2 was later released in Japan as Super Mario Bros. USA - as you should know, it appeared on Super Mario All*Stars and as the first Super Mario Advance game. The Japanese know the game well so there's no problem there.

I do think it would be cool if Mouser and Wart appeared in more games though, like Mario Kart or the Mario sports series.

I think Marcel should change his profile text. Unless he really is still waiting for La-Mulana on WiiWare.

If there's a game I know I will be buying at full price and won't want to sell later, I don't mind downloading. If there is a game I'd like to play but not willing to pay full price for, I'll wait until the retail version comes down in cost.

Sincerely, someone who will buy it if you do so.

Now if only six thousand more people would say the same thing and commit to it then maybe they would.

I believe all arcade games run at 60hz and at at full screen.

Many early GB games were quite simple and repetitive.

@Hyperstar96 Its been longer since the last Wii Virtual Console Arcade game.

Why don't you have Zelda: Link's Awakening, Jese_1?

I remember quite enjoying this one. More so than the original. Day one download!

Ah, you must be an American RevolverLink.

Game & Watch Gallery 2 for me!

And then WiiU will have Super Mario Bros. 4 at launch.

THE Super Mario Bros. 4?
