Well, developing one game at a time is a good thing. When Retro Studios were formed they tried developing two games at the same time as Metroid Prime, both had to be cancelled.

I´m not really longing for a new DK yet, there are many good plattformers for Nintendo systems already. Hope it´s good though. Maybe they´ll develop something more groundbreaking next.

"Nintendo's played it safe, commercially. Yet that makes business sense, which is something we should support. "

I wonder. This lineup looks like games for people who already own the WiiU. Nothing here seems set to wow new consumers. Nintendo can´t rely on everybody buying another Wii Fit, the general public has moved on.

Really? This was good news!

Added content is ok with me if it´s not something that feels "left out" of the original release. Many times DLC feels like a way to charge extra for the complete game. However, if Nintendo had a smaller team to create a few bonus dungeons for a Zelda it´s just good!

@Kaine_Morrison Surprise Yeah, Zelda 1 & 2 were the only games connected in the beginning, everything became a mess when Nintendo started using "other" Links. Well, to be honest even Zelda II messes things up with the talk aobut "another princess Zelda".

The games are best played as separate experiences, there isn´t much of substance in the story anyway. Just very enjoyable games.

The Aliens vs Predator game would be fantastic, I think it should have been avaliable online long ago.

I suggested Red Earth/ Warzard in the survey. I´ve never played it but it seems very interesting. Looking forward to the translated D&D!

This is how it should be. This is not only rare, but crazy expensive. I´d love to buy it if it comes here!

@FOURSIDE_BOY
Ever listened to "Faithfully" by Journey? This cheesy ballad will blow your mind if you enjoy Elecman stage

Yup, I´ve donated since this looks like a lot of fun!

This is more like it! I´m actually thinking about buying a US WiiU to play the latest batch of Neo Geo VC on.

@gurtifus
Metacritic is just an average of scores. This game has recieved praise from some reviewers and since it´s definitly my kind of game I´ll buy it. I´ve been looking forward to it ever since I heared it was Europe bound!

Yeah, this was a good one! I could kind of see this happen

Boycoting the game is just silly. The only result is UBI making the conclusion that WiiU owners don´t buy games like this. However, pity about the delay.

Yay! Japaneese voices are probably my choice. If the english voices aren´t extraordinary, like Xenoblade Chronicles

Anything that reaches the west is good And by that I mean both europe and US.

I can´t recommend this game, it´s just so frustrating. I can hardly finish the first level since the enemies are so hard to avoid. Also quite monotonous like many older arcadegames.

Side scrolling action game??? The other Super Robot Wars/ Taisen titles heve been strategy games. This one seems to be just as focused on over the top battle animations as the other one, pity license deals with anime companies will prevent it from reaching west.

Yay! I´ve heared very good things about the first Shock Troopers! Sooner or later I´ll definitly be getting this game. I´ve been waiting for this one since they started releasing Neo Geo games on VC.

Wow! This looks so fascinating... Definitly keep an eye on this one!

This looks amazing, having it avaliable in US & Europe is awesome news!

It is good news since it means UE4 titles can be ported to WiiU. If WiiU couldn´t use it very few companies would be willing to move their EU4 game to a different engine.

@Wesker
He bought the game, and that´s what counts. The first months of sales are generally used to measure if the game´s sold good or not.

Besides, secondhand market has existed as long as trade itself, so it doesn´t damage the industry one bit. The gaming industry just needs to accept that once we´ve payed for their product, we own that copy and are free to give it away, sell it or throw it in the trash.

@Betagam7
Ah. I just read the earlier post now. I hate when the music is slower, so I´ll buy the XBLA version instead. Thanks for noticing it!

Does anyone know if this game runs in actual 60hz in europe? Some Mega Drive games are only 50hz, but I´ve heared imports are 60.

Having 2 screens CAN be a problem. I find it really tough to play Contra 4 on DS, you can only have full focus on one screen at once. If you use two screens, it should be clear which one is secondary at the moment.

Still, I wouldn´t say these games are enough to keep the excitement going for 4 months. I´m sure New Super Mario Bros U will sell like crazy, but apart from that... not really system sellers here.

THE LAST BLADE!!! We haven´t seen many VC titles latley, buy boy do they have quality!

@NTELLIGENTMAN As far as I know there is actually a PS2 collection with Last Blade 1&2.

@Skeletor
Chances of two gamepads at onces seems VERY low. Each extra screen would demand extra processor power.

■Rabbids Party Land
■Raving Rabbids
■Rayman Legends
■Shield Pose
■Splinter Cell 6
■Sports Connection
■Tekken
■Your Shape 2013
■Zombie

For some reason this list reminds me of old pirate carts for the NES with "9999 games in 1" where a few titles are given non sense names. "Zombie" is bound to be a development title, but it´s just so generic

I can easily see this in my 3DS collection. The console needs some great plattforming games! Thumbs up.

Hm, the XBLA version will be upscaled... and Wii is 50hz. Decisions, decisions. Getting the game for sure, I really liked playing it in japaneese.

Thanks for the videolink, this game looks pretty sweet. Great SNES graphics!

Seriously people... two days before 1:st april

Get it

Oh dear. Is it really this close to april

Well, of course most games will stay on the service as long as it lasts. But the thing is, it´ll most probably not be around forever. If I may speculate, I think Nintendo will support the service 3-5 years after the last Wii is manufatured. The games I´ve downloaded will be on my harddrive and SD card for as long as they last.

I still think regular cartriges and CD:s have a more reliable lifespan. If my Wii breaks ten years from now, the games will be gone. If my N64 breaks, I can still play my games on a new machine.

Really?
Better stack up with some TG 16 games then. Thought about getting R-Type III as well, but I´ll buy a real cart instead.

This is really bad advertisement for digital downloads. We´ll see how many years Nintendo will support downloads for Wii.

I´ve started to love Fire Emblem, I´ll probably go classic mode but it´s nice to have choice. I like how death matters in these games. It makes the struggle feel more important whan you know the fate of the characters lay in your hands.

Nice to see they´ve returned to a more traditional look for the game, the Shirow artwork for Shadow Dragon was so grey and dull...

Eeh? It´s possible since 3DS got Super Street Fighter IV, but I really didn´t expect it. Buying the 360 version this month though.

Shift 2 is very intense, this could be good!

Nintendo has my permission to delay it till 2013 as long as the game is good.

Tempting, but I´ll wait until Nintendo releases exclusive games worth buying. So, a unit from Amazon in November seems pretty likely for me.

Ha ha, I would actually need something like this

@Hortencio:

Oh yes.

Oh yes it is. FFII is a cute game and all, but FFIII is mindblowing.

This review misses out on FFIII´s amazing story and endearing characters. I think it deserves mention, since it´s one of the best tales ever told in a videogame.

For me the soundtrack is the best RPG score ever. That includes Chrono Trigger (altought that one is very good as well). Tracks like Tina, Devils Laboratory, the opera piece and Dancing Mad are just outstanding.

On a sidenote: The battle system is plays a lot faster in this title than the Final Fantasy PS1 titles (and FFX), and the interactive abilities where you use slotmachines or Street Fighter:esque commands for your attacks are great fun.

A 10/10 from me if there ever was one. Glad it got a 9 at least, though

Gasp, this is just awesome games! I already own FFIV, but it may be the best game ever. I will buy Last Resort if it comes here. Still waiting for Waku Waku 7, though. Fire Fighters (as it´s called in the west) is a cult classic, nice to see it on VC. And online Puyo puyo... cool stuff.

Neither of the Bomberman plattformers are supposed to be any good. I´ll avoid this second-rate 3D plattformer.

@JumpMad: The earlier parts were called Wonder Boy (...) in the west. They play more like a Kid Icarus than Alex Kid, some upgrading of equipment a ´la Zelda.

Wow. I´ve got this in the Monsterworld collection, I really hope we´ll get a translated version. It´s a superb game.

Hm... isn´t that "nuke" screenshot from the japaneese version named "Final Mission"? S.C.A.T. / Action in New York has the "running soldiers" intro instead. By the way, awesome that we get the best version in europe too! Arnold / Sigourny is such an epic teamup!
