If they're attending CES then the 3DS is most certainly going to be the focus of what they show. Good news! I'm hoping we get to see some games as well though, not just Reggie spewing a bunch of sales charts and bar graphs.

Personally, I'm not thrilled with this week. SSB was fantastic in 1999 but it hasn't aged well at all. It was a fan-service game that became a surprise hit and it shows. Especially when you compare it to Melee and Brawl, which are actually detailed and well-made titles. SSB was fun but not quality. Though, I suppose it's still fitting as a milestone release, as it headed up one of Nintendo's most memorable franchises. At least people will shut up about it now.

By the way, where the heck is Earthbound?

Hopefully I'll have this today.

Megman? He'd be good, but the only Capcom character I want in SSB is Leon S. Kennedy. I don't care if he's a Snake clone. DO WANT.

Fantastic game. And a good review of it too.

Another pathetic week for VC, another pathetic week for WiiWare, and DSiWare's first pathetic week. This is just sad. What the hell is Nintendo doing?

Dragon Warrior Monsters is such a great game. I've put countless hours into that thing.

How does this look on an HD widescreen? Because the original N64 version is a total jagfest which makes me very sad (this is my all-time favorite game!)

Best. Game. Ever.
I own the original gold-cart of Majora's Mask, but I may buy the VC version anyway. If they can manage to eliminate jaggies on HDTVs I'm in (I played it recently on my N64 and much to my dismay it was actually painful to look at.)

You know, this cheeses me off. If it's something as little as a few songs, Nintendo needs to wake up and realize that it's a small price to pay for bringing enjoyment to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of gamers. Not to mention the immense amount of money they'd make. And even if it didn't have the original songs, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Sonic CD had rights issues with its music and an entirely new soundtrack had to be created. And it was just as good as the original (which, in my opinion, was awesome.)

I've always wanted to try the Mother series. With VC getting more and more games, the reasons to buy an SNES are becoming less and less, and that, for me, means not spending that extra money to buy Earthbound. Plus, I can't read Japanese so importing is out of the question. This is like a knife in the heart.

Eh, I'm not huge on scrolling shooters. I mean, I'll play one, but I'm not throwing down eight bucks unless it's amazing.

And where the heck are the N64 games!?!

Gah! Not Beetle Adventure Racing!

Nintendo needs to release a hardrive so I can actually buy these games.

You hear me, Nintendo? I'm not giving you money because your limited memory is a pain in my butt! Fix it!

I just hope Nintendo comes out with a better Classic Controller. I feel it needs "legs" so it's easier to grip. It feels weird without them. Even the Genesis and SNES had a little something to hold onto. The Classic Controller has nothing. I bought a CC (in one of those three packs with the wiimote and nunchuk) but I hate it so much that I use my tattered old Gamecube controllers for all my VC needs.

Good thing nothing I'm interested in has released lately. My memory is pretty full. WIi need a hard-drive. BAD.

GAH! If I had only held out for two more weeks... Now I have to go buy more points.

Just my luck. I sit on 1900 points for two months, complaining about the lack of SMRPG. Then I spend all my points (Zelda, Zelda II, and Super Metroid) and six days later SMRPG hits Europe. Hopefully it won't be Japan all over again where North America waits yet another few months for this game.

Not being able to bring a classic to VC is one thing, but rejecting a classic is not acceptable, Nintendo.

A step in the right direction, but I'm still waiting for a stellar title, Nintendo.

Well, it could have been worse.

Nothing I care for, but in terms of mass appeal this is by far the best week we've seen in ages.

Another lame week. And on top of that, they aren't even lame games from Nintendo systems. All but like two games in the past couple months have been Sega, Turbo Grafix, or Neo Geo. What's with that?

Still waiting for Mario RPG...

@Andrew: Thanks for your advice, but I've unleashed my rant and will now take my leave.

This is ridiculous. This is what we get to look foward to every week? Where is Super Mario RPG? Majora's Mask? Shining Force II? Earthbound? We've gotten almost nothing but arcade fighters and side-scrolling shooters for the past couple months. I have over 2000 Wii points that I've been sitting on since my birthday which was a month and a half ago. VC is becoming a uniform black-hole of crap. Regardless of whether or not these two titles are good, we need something REALLY good to make up for the past couple of months.

Like we need more Neo Geo games.

We need Insanaquarium for Wii Ware.

If Nintendo thinks they are keeping the fanbase happy with one or two acceptable WiiWare titles and one hit or miss VC title a week they are dead wrong. I hope, for their sake, that they get their act together and give us some good games.

I've never played this game and I've been comping at the bit since I was like ten. Hopefully NA (and of course EU and AU) will see this game hit VC very very soon.

I only bought this because Mew is obtainable.

Wow, with anti-fanbase comments like that, this guy could easily get a job at Sony.

Nice! I always wanted to play this.
