Welcome back, Master Higgins. I look forward to spending time with ya.

lol at Don King's head going up and down.

I've had it since last July and I love FFIV, but for some reason I just didn't play it until now.

So, has the freezing bug that's in the Gamecube version been removed?

I enjoyed the movie. Good luck.

lol. Karnov. I used to love playing the NES version back in the day. Oh, and fun fact: Karnov makes a cameo as the first boss in Bad Dudes.

The whole "game watching you" deal sounds pretty creepy.

I already did my part and got it for the PS2 when it came out.

Looks good. Good job, guys.

One word:

GROOVY!

@ 70. 8bit XAN

Man, I would love for them to release that game. I thought the music was awesome.

I already have the game on my anniversary collection, so I'll be skipping this one. This is my favorite Mega Man of all time. Have fun, guys and gals.

Wow. Two weeks in a row of good releases. Have fun, people.

Yeah, I think it'll be released around the time Mega Man 9 comes out.

We finally get Y's.

Now, how about Gun.Smoke for next week.

Wow, I didn't know that SMRPG never got released in Europe. Enjoy it, guys. It's one of my most favorite games. A little easy, though.

"SS2 is good, but I already have 1, and would prefer to wait for a Last Blade title."

Dear god, yes. I love The Last Blade 2.

@ 38. Mickeymac

I never really got into fighting games, but I always wanted to - the fights seemed so cinematic and corriographed, like an action movie - and I think Samurai Shodown II would be a good game to try

Oh, yeah. The game is gooood. One of the things I've always liked about it is the atmosphere and the music. So awesome.

@ 33. NintendoBrad

"SS2 should hit soon for the U.S, so hold yer horses, my fellow Americans."

I'm sure it'll please some Americans, but some like me are more upset about Y's. That's the one that I wanted.

Well, at least Europe is getting it this week.

@ 43. SuperSonic1990

It's a remake? I thought it was an all new game? Hmm...I'll look into it. Anyway, companies don't have to take this bull from Nintendo. They should probably look into releasing their games on XBLA or PSN.

@ 39. SuperSonic1990

Didn't capcom release that and some other games on a collection for the GBA? Just wondering.

@ 36. Corbie

Or, they can download roms. Saves space, are free and will save them alot of time trying to track them down.

@ 56. Rapadash6

Nice article. If it's true that third parties want to put pressure on Nintendo, maybe they should release them on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. I don't know if Microsoft or Sony will allow straight rom dumps to be put up on their services, though.

@ 17. worrybomb

And that statement is not even an apology. It's more like they are cleaning up their own mess. I just hope this is the last time something like this happens because this is a terrible way to establish relationships with third-party publishers.

I agree. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if companies stop adding their games to the vc because of this crap, but who knows how much money they make off of each download.

@ 132. Mike

That's what I did. As soon as I woke up, I checked before I went out to buy the points card. Good thing I didn't get it.

Man what a bummer. I was so getting ready to go right now to get my points card, but something told me that I should check to confirm if the games were really being released.

I really wanted to play Y's. Thanks alot, Nintendo.

@ Geeyoff Sebastian & Kreegs07

Yeah, I love the music in this game, too. Sure, it's not as good as part two, imo, but listening to the elecman, cutman and the wily castle tracks always brings a smile to my face.

@ deadly.by.design: Yes the buttons are reversed. It was very annoying when I first played it because I was so used to NES button placement, but eventually I got used to it. Just give it time.

Anyway, this is going to be one heck of a release day. A fighter, a platformer and an rpg? A winner is us!

Someone has to make a controller with a six button frontal layout for the Genesis and TG-16

Cool. I've always wanted to play Ys. Looks like it's time to go get a points card. Can't wait.

I prefer to get SSII.
