Would get it but with THQ's closure, it looks like it's not coming to Europe.

I could have played it with a Sean Connery Mii...

Confirmed to be true...

The butler and maid in-game characters are from Home Alone 2 for the SNES.

Lazy journalism. Sounds more like Nintendo re-licensed the SimCity name for the VC release but chose not to renew their license...

When EA bought Maxis back in 1997 they also bought the Sim world of games. The SimCity name is copyrighted to EA - and not Maxis - on the VC release (look at the bottom of the Health & Safety section of the Operations Guide)

Former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie once said this of Sun readers:

"He's the bloke you see in the pub, a right old fascist, wants to send the wogs back, buy his poxy council house, he's afraid of the unions, afraid of the Russians, hates the queers and the weirdos and drug dealers. He doesn't want to hear about that stuff". ("stuff" being "serious news").

So essentially, to neo-conservative papers like The Sun and the Daily Express, video games are a communist propaganda tool that teaches you how to take drugs and murder people.

@WhiteKnight But only idiots buy The Sun. After all, they can't read, they just want to see page 3.

And it tanked.

I make no apologies for the bad pun.

I have a karaoke machine at home, which takes CDs, DVDs, SD cards and USB pen drives, so meh. -.-

Only Wii U Virtual Console games can be played on the Gamepad; not Wii Virtual Console or WiiWare games as you can only play them on the TV.

When I used to run SNESzone (a website dedicated to all things Super Nintendo running from 2000-2003) I was in constant contact with Brad Furminger, a SNES fan and Lead Designer at Silicon Knights (he left the company in 2008). He was the lead designer of Eternal Darkness - one of the best and most thrilling games on the GameCube. It's such a shame they've run themselves into the ground in such a fashion.

Glad to see there are AVGN fans on here

The Q-tip/cotton bud and a tiny amount of cleaning fluid is the best way to clean out the pins of your game cartridges, if AVGN is to be believed.

That ad is quite funny

Tom Bailey? You mean THE Tom Bailey from the Thompson Twins?

@TwilightPoint Haha, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is such a god-awful game. AVGN got it right!

Xbox 360 version for me too.

Game have closed all their stores in Ireland. http://www.facebook.com/GameIrelandFight

It's not just Nintendo-published titles either - they aren't stocking new EA titles for other formats like Mass Effect 3 or SSX, and won't be stocking FIFA Street or Tiger Woods 2013 either.

Sad state of affairs when a video game retailer isn't getting games in because it can't afford to stock them

But then again, meh, I can buy games online for cheaper

Whatever you do, don't pre-order from Game, they probably won't stock it like The Last Story (I had to order a copy from Amazon)

All we need now is an Angry Video Game Nerd review of Game Boy and Game Gear accessories and the circle of life will be complete...

Sumo all the way! Let's crank up the Def Leppard for the Sheffield studio!

Let's get, let's let, let's get, let's get rocked! ♫

No Manchester or Liverpool?

I lost many an hour to the Super Famicom version of Prince of Persia, yet never beat it properly. I know this time I'll do more of the same!

ME WANT! drool

No multiplayer? Then NO POINT!

Add to that, James Rolfe (aka AVGN) says out of the Nerd character, "Don't take it too seriously."

Who cares about a timeline? As AVGN says, they're all meant to be enjoyed as individual unconnected stories.

Watch AVGN Episode 40 - Chronologically Confused About Zelda. You'll get the idea

The one in the lift.... Die Hard?

Apple now have to survive without Steve Jobs. I'm sure Nintendo will survive without Shigeru Miyamoto.

And 11 of those are on the Lips series on Xbox 360 (12 in Germany - Scorpions are on a Germany-only addition to the series)

REGGIE IS A LIAR!

The world needs PETA like a hole in the head.

It's up to US as INDIVIDUALS to decide whether or not we decide to hunt or eat the flesh from another living being.

By the way, a friend of mine was was shooting for grouse up in Scotland - and he accidentally shot a golden eagle. As you may know a golden eagle is a protected species, so he was brought into the court. My friend said it was an accident and it got into his line of fire and the judge was about to let him off, but before he did he asked him out of interest what he did with the carcass of the golden eagle. He said "I ate it." The judge then asked him what it tasted like. My friend replied, "rather like swan."

Seriously, PETA get me peed off in a way I can't describe. Why can't they just respect that people eat or wear animal produce and they can't act like Nazis and tell us what to think with their bogus propaganda?

By the way, that Western Black Rhinoceros burger was delicious

Beetlejuice, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street all sucked because they were made by LJN. (and yes, I'm a Nerd fan )

Know what other NES game sucks? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Best. Castlevania. Ever.

"What a horrible night to have a curse."

Here's the re-visiting of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest by the Angry Video Game Nerd, along with a review of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrLdIiW6bEo

Is that picture the collection of James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd)?

It's got as much chance as Xenoblade Chronicles, so get on to Project Rainfall and make some noise!

By the way, I'm one of the lucky ones who got a UK copy back in January.

Ditto.

Sorry, couldn't resist another Ghost-related gag.

No problems yet I'm happy to say

I'll give my favourite ten, in no particular order...

Super Mario World
Super Metroid
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Castlevania IV
Donkey Kong Country
Super Mario Kart
Yoshi's Island
Starwing
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario RPG

Wow. I guess this means Nintendo aren't re-releasing Smash Bros. Brawl then (as GameCube controllers are the best controllers for Brawl - end of that discussion)

I still hate the London 2012 logo. Looks like Lisa Simpson doing something unwritable!

No. Not. Never.

Despite the Xbox 360 currently being my primary home system, I would personally give up gaming for good if Nintendo gave up on consoles and first-party development.

All your games are belong to I.

Good luck to Steve Jarratt on whatever he does next!

Yeuch! I hate yellow!

@Justaguest What about Capcom with Super Street Fighter IV 3D?

Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais? Wow what a script that would have been?

"Mario Stanley Mario, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual plumber, who rescues princesses as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts her promise of cake in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these occurrences — you will be Bowser's lackey until Luigi Mario wins a house and rescues you."

Just an idea, paraphrasing the opening of the classic sitcom Porridge, but there you go
