Let's read Wily's bank number:
1987.12.17
Hm. Could this have a meaning?

This is great:
Dr. Light telling Megaman, that he didn't do this in a while,
the Secret of Wily's bank number,
and finally the return of the awful covers of the 8Bit era.

The final level is surprisingly epic and the final boss is just insane. This is one of the best Shoot-them-ups on the VC.

I wonder when Nintendo will release the next SNES game for the VC...

Oh sure, The Last Ninja looks and sounds good, but the gameplay isn't as great.
I would prefer Alex The Kidd in Miracle World.

Yes, the last level isn't very entertaining, fighting stronger versions of the six main bosses again. Kinda like Megaman.
Surprisingly the final boss is quite easy.

This is still better than releasing only one game per week.
If Nintendo continues like this, it would mean 10 games per month.

Hard to understand that this is a 8-Bit game. Seriously one of the best vertical shoot-em-ups EVER.

Super Mario RPG... I wonder maybe it will come this time to Europe.
Next Hanabi Festival?

Good week.
I wonder when the next SNES game will come. Something like "Super Turrican 2" would be great.

I know it was released in Europe.
But the first Ninja Gaiden was released in the first Hanabi Festval.
Then it was my guess, that Tecmo/Nintendo will release the second one in the next Hanabi Festval. That didn't happen, instead we have got a lot of Shmups.

They should have released this along the second Hanabi Festval.
Would be a nice change from all these Shmups.

So we have an semi clear quote and a lot of guesses...
In maybe one year , we will know the truth.

Has anybody played the european version so far?
Does it have the typical borders?
This may sound stupid, but I heard on another website, that while it is an Import game there are still the "PAL Issues"?
Can anybody confirm this?

It is a good game, a really good game.
Also perfect for Shmup beginners, as there are few really difficult parts like the speed section in the final level or the last battle itself.
The humor is great too, for example the Bomberman level or the final boss, which is basically a parody of this final boss of Super Star Soldier.
It also has a Battle mode, which is mostly the same as the upcoming WiiWare game. But here the two levels (each with their own boss) are a bonus, not the whole game.
If you like cute Shmups buy it.
I prefer it over Parodius (SNES) and Pop'n Twinbee.

The borders are even worse in most NES games because much of the screen is already taken up by informations like points, health and so on. In the end this makes the main game really small.
The Hanabi edition of Ninja Gaiden was an huge improvement over all other NES games I had seen so far. Why can't they all be like that? Why?

This game looks a lot like Gynoug (Mega Drive), with its merging of man and machine, maybe a bit less "ugly" than Gynoug.

So next week we will get Star Parodier AND Gley Lancer?!
That's great for all Shmup fans in the EU. And America, they will likly get this soon.

No, to answer my own question, it has some PAL Issues.
Like HUGE borders. Don't trust Wikipedia.

Seems to lack a lot of content, compared to other games you can get for 800 points:
Lords of Thunder
Gate of Thunder

What I really like to know:
Does it have an interesting story or boss fights?
Is there an ending or goes it on forever?

I would prefer to play the games directly from the SD-card. Maybe Nintendo could release a "PLAY SD Channel" for this

Nice list, wonder how many will really be released the first day.
And how will it continue? New game(s) each week?

I'm also disappointed. The graphics and animations are great but the controll is overly complicated, the difficulty is EVIL and the game is just not as entertaining as Gunstar Heroes.

Finally!!!!!

Nintendo also had send mails with the coming Hanabi games:
Gley Lancer, Cho Aniki, Puyo Puyo 2, Star Parodier and...
Digital Champ and Break In.
"and more" = Digital Champ and Break In?

That is bad... I'm not talking about Damo that is great.
No, the last time Nintendo also did show every game in a similar mail. If this is true, then there will be no DoReMi or Rondo of Blood.

Really good shooter, hard but not as evil as other shooters.
And finally a Soldier game which doesn't has this brain thing as the final boss.

Another three shooters and one puzzle game.
Meh.
Still Star Parodier looks entertaining, Soldier Blade was also pretty good.

There is no save or password, but a cheat that will bring you into the next level.

Maybe Ninja Gaiden 2 will be released as well.
Not that unlikly, the first part came with the first Hanabi Festival-

I usally keep a copy all games on the SD card and when I delete one I can copy it back from the card.
At least it's faster than a new download.

Right before the final boss you get this wierd message:

Warning!!
Ultimate Enemy approching

Nice name for the last boss.

This game is only for real shmup fans.
For everyone else it will be WAY to difficult.

There will be more imports in the next weeks.
Nintendo said in the Wii-Shop-Channel that the Hanabi Fesival returns and it will last for some weeks.
So we still could get DoReMi or Rondo of Blood...

An entertaining little game.
I still remember beating the two Abobos in the third level and walking past the cave, causing the level to loop!!

Wierd... Wikipedia claims that the PAL-Version has no "PAL Conversion Issues".
Is that true?

This is, in my opinion, the BEST 8-Bit Megaman game, even better than Megaman 3.
And it certainly not that difficult, for a game on the NES and around Megaman anyway.

Will it ever come to Europe?
Maybe in the next Hanabi Festival...

Oh I remember that game. The hero moved slllllloooooowwww.
Overall Phantasy Star 4 is the best game of the series.

Hmpf.
Like most PAL Mega Drive Games the borders are huge!!!
Sega should really try to reduce that, comparing this to the Sega Mega Drive Collection is quite sad...

I really wonder if and when Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood will come out in the rest of the world.

This game certainly has one of the most ridiculusly chaotic final bosses EVER!

Appears to be very short with just two levels and why does the first boss look like a X-Box????
