I have been unable to find this game anywhere, even had it pre-ordered on Amazon & GAME still no dispatch notice... So will this be a downloadable fix or a reissue of the game?

It is a damn shame the 3DS is region locked.

Nintendo = First party games/exclusives.
PC = everything else.
It's been the same since the snes.

Awesome game, however online mode was ruined by the over powered Megaman Zero.

No mention of Sin & Punishment 2? Bah!

I won't be downloading any NGC games as I doubt we'll see Rogue Squadron, Timesplitters 2 or Crystal Chronicles. Resident Evil 4, Metroid & Pikmin have been re-mastered for the Wii and Mario Sunshine Sucks.
In addition the Wii is the only electronic device I have that uses a component cable and still have my Wavebird controller(best controller ever designed).

Does anyone know of the UK release for Steel Diver? and the even BBC listed it as a lauch title but I havn't seen it anywhere.

Just ordered one off play asia for around £6, not bad!

Why is the release so close to other games such as DKCR & Super Mario Allstars? This could of filled the gap between Other M which was released the start of September.

I was going to buy this, now i'm going to buy two copies.

Exactly i think i'm gonna buy Alien Soldier.

The UK stars catalogue are selling mario stuff including a snes style classic controller.

& a competition to win a wii or something.

They may have hundreds of ideas but... it doesn't mean any of them, are any good.

Woo super hang-on! Awesome!!!

How about SE, just release the game on the virtual console, so us Europeans can play the game on our TV's instead of on a tiny DS screen.

Re-release super smash bro's brawl with with voice chat and a better match making system and i'd be quite happy.

This would be awesome but only if you can move games across to other consoles you own, much like the PSP & PS3, how you can register a game on up to five consoles.

i'll need 2 jobs to afford all this new stuff, well i think nintendo won E3.

What are the chances of seeing FFVI within 2010?

The yellow DSi XL reminds me of my old Gameboy Pocket.

Can't wait for this, hope it comes with Castle of illusion as an unlockable pre-oder bonus.

Cool & only 600 points leaving me enough points left over to buy Kirby's Fun Pack.

I've never played the original SNES version, so i'm quite interested in this. Although i have played an hour or two on the DS remake, its enjoyable but i don't think it tops Kirby Adventure.

So far i've just completed stage 4 on hard, i'm currently getting owned by that lion/bird monster boss on stage 5, its impossible to dodge it when its doing that spinning move thing when you get it on low heath!!! but i've gotta say after just completing those 4 stages on hard i can now clear the game so easy on normal difficulty. So there is hope that one day i will complete it!

Isn't it always the console which is easy to mod/pirate games for, the best selling of the generation. I don't know a single person who didn't have their ps1 mod chipped, same goes for ps2 & Xbox and now Wii & DS, I think I’m the only one out of my friends that sill pay for full retail games.

Very cool but when will EU see Ninja Gaiden 2?

Got this yesterday, and ive been playing none stop, really really awesome.

I havn't bought a wii retail game since NSMBwii mainly because there hasn't been anything that has looked interesting atleast to me, well not until this weekend with Sin & Punishment 2 out in 3 days! and lets not forget theres still No More Heroes 2 & Galaxy 2 within the next month and half.

i'll be getting warioware for sure, never been a fan of the KoF series so i'll skip, retro rpgs fans will be happy next week, Final Fantasy is next up on the VC list.

This will most likely be 100% total rubbish. They need to do a cel-shaded cartoon 80's style transformers game then i'd be interested.

Awesome update.

Looks like they've fixed the world hud, although i hope they include a list of levels, like the pause menu on super mario world for the GBA.

awesome vc-reviews

Cool, according to Nintendo's UK site
Blaster Master, 09/04/2010
MEGA MAN 4, 16/04/2010

oh only for NA

I think this will hit EU around May, great review can't wait to play this.

Swap club Nintendo stars for the extra 200 Wii points.

Maybe you Americans are getting pikmin 2 bundled with pikmin 3 and thats why its not been released?

Would be better for Wii rather than DS, but its got to be all new, can't just be a slight improvement over the previous games.

@jangonov

I believe it's on NA's PSN but not europes, well not on the UK's PSN anyway.

@D00M, ok maybe not ugly but I just felt it ruined the overall style and feel of the game, atleast for me anyway.

Can't wait to play this on my LCD, tried the PSP version which is a quality game but it was too small and blurry for my liking, so I couldn’t really get into it. Also I hated how you had to play in ugly PSP graphics until you unlocked the original game. Now if we could only get copy of SOTN on Wii to complete all my collection of favourite castlevania games, or even on PSN for that matter.

Too be honest i'm not all that fussed about 50hz-60hz and I can't be arsed to explain my reasons why.

I never had a problem with playing with the d-pad. but i found playing other characters boring. Still a great game, all the mini games are ace.

Even though VC's been slow over the past couple of months, we've had some quality games lately, Shadow Dancer, S&K and if Rondo comes this Thursday night at 11pm (thanks Golgo), I’ll be very pleased, and never say a bad word against the VC again.

So does that mean, Rondo of Blood is this Friday?

Will be getting Rondo for sure, Ironclad is going on the maybe list, too many other games to play first. I'd like to see Orge battle 64, really got into the snes version.

That card game looks like final fantasy VIII's card game, might think about getting it, if theres a 2-player VS mode.

£2 for 200 points but you still have to spend £7 to get 1000 points.
