VERY VERY VERY VERY EXCITED!!!!!

The original was actually completed for the Amiga, but then never released! It was even reviewed and got loads of 90%+ scores, and there were magazine demos and everything.

However it was converted to the SNES.

(But it's still a bone of contention in the Amiga emulation/retro community that System 3 continue to refuse to release the completed Amiga version).

EDIT: Sorry, you could have learnt most of that by watching the video... Hey, I wonder if they'd consider releasing the SNES version on VC?

antonvaltaz commented on Nintendo Download: 16th May (Europe):

Already have Super Metroid, SMB2 and Super Ghouls N Ghosts on the Wii VC, and will be updating all three for gamepad play!

Have the US and European Wii U VC updates all been identical so far?

antonvaltaz commented on Life of Pixel Could Make It To Wii U Should It...:

Looks awesome, but probably not much chance of it making the stretch goals. Too many retro systems which won't be familiar to an American audience... I'm guessing they wouldn't be very familiar with Spectrums, Amstrads or BBCs...

@rjejr My guess is that for the first year or two after the PS4 and NextBox launch, a lot of games will also be ported to the Xbox 360 and PS3, and I think the Wii U will get a lot of them as well.

After that time, we'll probably only get ports of the really big-name games, e.g. the CoDs and FIFAs of this world...

I only ever played the Master System version of this, which was a completely different game, despite having the same name (I only discovered in the last couple of years that this was even released on the Mega Drive!).

If it's as good as that was, then this is very good news! :-)

I had this (or it might have been the prequel) on the ZX Spectrum! Awesome game, absolutely loved it... Surprised the SNES one doesn't have two player mode, when the Spectrum managed it fine!

@OorWullie I think you're right - the advertising has been pretty subdued from Nintendo, as if they know it's not really worth pushing it yet until some more big-hitting games arrive. I'm guessing we'll see a big marketing push, as well as price cuts, later in the year ready to take on Sony and Microsoft.

antonvaltaz commented on Wii U GamePad Will Not Have Backward Compatibi...:

Also, while it is clear that Wii VC games cannot be played on the GamePad screen, is it possible to use the GamePad as a controller for Wii VC games on the TV? (i.e. for it to be recognised by the game as a Wii Classic Controller)?

antonvaltaz commented on E3 2012: Download Titles Confirmed for Wii U:

@FluttershyGuy According to ABC News in the US, "Scott Moffitt, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Nintendo, said that in addition to Wii discs being backwards-compatible on the new Wii U, digital game collections purchased over the Wii Virtual Console will also be transferable over to the Wii U"

and further:

"Moffitt said that there will be a bit of restructuring of how their login IDs/accounts work with the Wii U; he told us, “You will have an individual account based system. Each member of your family might have their own account.” "
