I actually have the original SNES cartridge of this game as well as the full trilogy in Japanese for the Gameboy Advance. If this were to come out on the WII VC I would buy it in a heartbeat to show my support. However I will not buy a WII U solely for this game. Lack of games and the VC history of the WII has left me very doubtful if the WII U is worth buying.

Just curious, Has anyone asked Nintendo of their opinion of this object for personal use only?

I own both the playstation and DS version. Is the SNES version different from the playstation one?

Love this game, Still have the original SNES version for the states. The Opera really made this game stand out in my opinion.
Some nice links for the opera though not in english

Slight spelling mistake on the "enjoy your massage!" link

I had actually sent an email with hopes of getting an answer shortly after the last one of these. Timing was mainly due to the fact that prior to it I hadn't known you could email Nintendo life. Sadly I never got an answer.

Anyone pick up the strategy guide? I was curious as to how thorough it was as I'd like to go back and do some of the side-quests I missed later on in the game."

Glanced though the guide from Bradygames. Its a massive 432 page book. Seems to cover the game quite well as well as the extra content.
The extras for after the games beaten are just briefly touched on.
