I hate to say it, but this is just one more push for me to go down the dark path of emulation. This muscle flexing from NoA and favoritism from Nintendo in general of their home market over the world is just getting disgusting.

I might actually get Art of Fighting 2... I remember playing it at the arcade... having a full emu version of it at home is still kind of cool to me.

And for the whole hardcore gamer definition thing... there may be some grey area but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's kind of like art - I know it when I see it.

Super Dodgeball is an INSTANT download for me when it comes to the States. That is one of the must own games for me.

MSOG = Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

And thanks for the review. For me it was concise and answered all of my questions. How much is the game? How similar is it to the original? Do I have to use motion controls?

The same gameplay with nicer graphics is just what I wanted. And $10 for that and a few extras is good for me - I just paid that much for Pokemon Snap which I hated. $10 for this in the stores would be a steal, I'm off to buy now.

I just CAN NOT believe that all of those games come with Animal Crossing. I've bought like half of those for the virtual console!!! Gah! Several others are games that were up next to buy on the console, so I'm really glad I was on the fence about this game so I could read the review and find this out. Thanks!

DRAGON WARRIOR! Ooh, I had forgotten that one! I hope that gets out there sooner than later.

Ikari Warriors
Double Dragon
Kung Fu
Tetris
Super Dodge Ball

And now I'm sad over how many games I want that aren't out. Oh well, fun to think about.
