I just bought this last night and I have to say it may be the best baseball game I have ever played. Pure fun!

I want the box art as a large poster, framed and hanging in my living room.

such an anomaly, but so rad, and gave us so much Mario mythology.

It's weird to see the box art for this game. I don't think I've ever seen just a Mario bros box, I've only ever seen the Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo.

There must be some legal holdup stopping the release of the original Contra, maybe a licensing issue that has something to do with Contra 4 on DS having exclusive rights for an amount of time. Just a guess.

you can dip the letter in a virtual bucket of water? Well done nintendo, that is so awesome.

Man the VC is so saturated with this style of game. If I was a publisher and I had a whack of shooter left to release I would be bummed out.

hmmm. from the video I can totally see how this game could be cool. I still think it was a strange choice for a VC launch game though...

why are the players on the front box wearing equestrian hats?

This game was rad! Can't wait till they release it in NA!

Little mac IS in SSBB. He's just an assist trophy. too bad, would have been cool as a playable character. Wish nintendo would release Super Punch Out.

pinball has never really translated well onto the home console.

If this was 250 points the would have made more cash from this for sure.

he summons frogs just like naruto! I never new that ninjas summoning frogs was such a common motif.

this game frightens me. The original consumed my life. This one will too, but Ninja Gaiden is a hard habit to kick.

Oh dear GOD. I just beat this game. It took endless amounts of patience and calm to keep myself from destroying my wii mote. I almost even wrote a letter to Tecmo to tell them how sadistic their enemy placement is in this game. That being said, it was always the type of difficulty that I new I could beat with just a little more practice and just a little more skill. Not broken at all, just really, really hard. Will definitely take a breather before downloading the sequel.

it has got to difficult to recommend any golf game for NES, especially when everyone with a Wii already has Wii Sports.

there was something satisfying though about shooting a buble at a block and revealing a secret.

Whoa, they punish you for being greedy? That is so weird. I wonder if it is a slight against mario?

What the--? EU gets Mega Man 1 and 2 and NA get zip? I feel so...unappreciated...

Do you think that the delay in NA is due to the mega man collection being released relatively recently?

I don't think I understand the what was being said in the update. Who are they referring to when they say "the Japanese"?

The music in this game alone is worth 5 stars.

This seems like it would be fun for some quick two player action.

There is a level editor in this game isn't there?

I remember having TONS of fun with this game when I was a kid. I must buy.

Seems like a complete waste of time to even release this what with battle load runner out...

I heard somewhere that they deactivated the passwords for the VC release...

This is such a great game. Everything is so fluid and I would say the physics of skating are probably more realistic than Blades'. Blades' does beat it in the fighting department though.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Damo!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

The cover for this game is just hilarious! You could never release a game these days that had an Eskimo about to club a polar bear on the front.

haha the only time I've every played this was during intermission in Blades of Steel! I didn't even realize it was it's own game till now.

If you love a challenge you'll love this...for a few days. Then you'll realize that it is nigh impossible to beat.

Unless your are a purest, I don't see any reason to get this over the TG-16 version.

Tons of nostalgia value in this one for sure, I remember just using the track editor to make the biggest jump after the biggest jump. Wish excite truck had a level editor...

Of all those weird llittle arcade style, black background games (Re: ice climbers, donkey kong, balloon fight) this is probably my vote for the most worthwhile.

Oh man, Double Dribble! I will always remember this as the game that made my best friend K so mad that he threw his controller at the NES, hitting the power button and shutting the power off!

This should be an easter egg on the next Brain Age!

I hope they release the sequel! I've never played t but it sells for hundreds of bucks on ebay because it's so rare

You guys remember how DK jr was in the original mario kart? weird eh?

good call NES! if this game was only 200 or 250 points I would buy it in a second.

I also loved this game when I was a kid but I can't remember ever making any significant progress. I am debating right now to either download this or the original Castlevania but I just can't decide!

I want to get a Castelvania game but I'm not sure if I should get this one or get Simon's Quest. I here Simon's Quest is just ridiculously hard, anyone have any advice?

SEAN-- I've downloaded it it seems to work just fine, you should probably call nintendo support, or double check your battery power on your wii mote

You can play as Vancouver!? OMG was this game licensed by the NHL?

Did anybody notice how nintendo released their old school counter parts to the Wii sports games?

If you are into Balloon fight you should rent Wario Ware smooth moves because they have retrofitted balloon fight as a 1st person, 3d game. And use use the wii mote and nunchuck to wave your arms to fly!

I am really bummed out that we only got two games this week. This must be the first time it's ever happened to the US. I hope that it doesn't mean that there are less games on the way...
