I read that as Dragon Quest II for a second. Haha, if only.

Oh, so it's in June instead of July? Cool.

@tsm7 This article pointed out that Wii U Virtual Console releases aren't just dumped ROMs. Legal work is required along with the manuals that come along with the digital purchases, as well as changing the controls appropriately for its re-release on a current console, so I assume the same thing applies to the 3DS. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/talking_point_the_wii_u_virtual_console_has_started_but_not_with_a_bang

Likely the very last major release the Game Boy/Game Boy Color era received, as late as 2002. I'm planning on getting this along with Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. It definitely seems like a must-play game in general. Once i'm finished with it, i'll buy the DSIWare sequel.

I wonder if there will be a Red Steel 3 someday.

It's essentially a definitive DS in which it's like a combination of a regular DS and an iPhone. A largely customizable handheld in which you can also download games on, both old and new.

Cool, though i'm not hugely interested in a game like Harvest Moon. I just bought Wario Land: Shake It earlier this month and i'm saving for when the Zelda Oracle games release on May 30th.

Nintendo sure loves putting NES games that deserve more attention on the Virtual Console...

For some reason, whenever i'm reminded of this series, I think of the color pink.

Word puns were never funny to begin with. The only funny thing at all about them is how facepalming they are. But even then, that has gotten tiresome to me as of late.

Just call it the 6 Ubien Coins and call it a day.

The 2006 Wii launch line-up in retrospect isn't too much much to brag about either. I know it's ultimately about quality over quantity, but as hyped as Wii U VC was, you'd think that its line-up would be somewhat close to that. :/

It's not the responsibilty of objects who choose to harm people, it's the responsibility of people who choose harm people.

"A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls." - Proverbs 25:28

Luigi should have "Magic" as his nickname.

So 3DS titles are every Thursday and Wii U titles are every Friday?

"Brilliant!" - David Tennant

It was a great game for the Game Boy Color's retirement, but now i'll be able to experience that too.

Someone give me a definitive answer for what i'm about to ask, why isn't it hard for me to choose a choice? My only choices are either Super Mario World or Not Downloading These. Do I have poor taste? Am I too picky? Am I just not interested? WHY?!?

@Pikachupwnage I assume if they made such a big deal about Earthbound, that they're expecting us to wait for the bigger releases.

At this point, the only eyecatching one is Super Mario World. If you've downloaded it before, you can redownload it again for $1.99 or somethin', right?

Will the 1989 version be sold on Virtual Console at any point?

@3Dash coughearthboundwiiucough

Has this the year we've been waiting for in terms of follow ups?...

Aladdin
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist
Battletoads & Double Dragon
X-Men 1 and/or X-Men 2: Clone Wars
Rocket Knight Adventures

@Five-seveN Ya know, there's something about a reply that just says "No." that bugs me for some reason.

When it mentions Super Metroid, can that be used for the Wii U version?

This is what he said regarding his death:

"I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear. I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris." - Roger Ebert, R.I.P.

Somehow, I feel as if there's missed potential involved with this. ;(

The types.

I'll say this much. I think downloading is more conveniant, but i'd miss physically buying discs. :/

@retro_player_22 I'd pay like $20 or $30 if I had to.

@Tertis Like 6 or 7 years kind of long?

It is not games that make people commit acts which impact this world negatively, it is the critical thinking skills and common sense which shapes the way people act.

This is the first time i've anything like this. I hope he gets better.

I've never played any of the Sonic Adventure series, so I don't know whether or not to be hyped.

The most fascinating thing for me was GBA for VC.

@Brando67854321 I believe me, i've know since the day Itoi released those tweets, I actually just came here to question why only Japan is getting a free Earthbound trial.

I've NEVER seen the don't care bar this high before.

This is the first time i've seen the 'Nothing for me this week' bar at less than 30%.

I'd only care about Mother 4 if I got to experience the first 3 games.

So...

WWWWWHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAT!!!

I find it funny that to own and play the whole Bayonetta series, you're required to own two consoles from 2 companies who are rivals against in each other.

It's a shame they didn't call it the PiiWii.

Happy 20th Anniversary!

Happy 20th Anniversary!

I could never get into Super Mario World as much as anyone else even after I beat the game. I'm thinking that game was made for pros and ONLY pros, i'm clearly not one of them.

And just imagine, that dowloading a full-length game onto a small handheld will be retro one day.
