Topic: New VC games in Japan

@TheDreamingHawk I totally felt that way when I was living in the States, but I can read and speak Japanese, and I'm sure 99.9% of Americans don't know more than 10 words in Japanese, so I'm not sure playing a text heavy RPG would work. That's why Nintendo hasn't bothered.

SMB2 on the other hand, is in complete English, which is why its more "import" friendly. I don't think they wrote in Japanese in the Mario games until Mario Bros 3.

BTW, I would totally love it if they eventually also put Fire Emblem: Gaiden on the 3DS VC as well, I never played that one, and it was never remade.

Yes, I know, sorry. I start my summer break this weekend. I'll have lots of free time after that. I've bought so many games for my 3DS, only to leave them untouched until now.

It looks like Japan's also getting "Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly" this week.

Wow that's odd for VC and Japan gets it first?

Someone has to have been pranking. I wouldn't consider Wikipedia a reliable source.
It's not listed on Nintendo of Japan's site either.

Simpsons are bad anyway.

GO NELSON!

But either way, considering how I can beat Mother 1 and 2 in Japanese, along with FF2 for famicom (Which I can't fit into my NES.), they should give it a try.

Next up Rockman 2, Columns for Game Gear, and a Kunio game for Game Boy. I think it is the one that got modded to create the western Double Dragon II Game Boy.

Wow mega man 2? I bet we'll see SMB3 and USA come soon

Why are they moving on with the NES Mega Man (Rockman) games instead of the Game Boy ones?

Because they're better. Plus no one is going to bother with the rest of the GB megaman's until Megaman 5.

I wonder if Columns for Game Gear is going to have multiplayer link-up like Ice Climbers.

That may be true, but that means the GB games won't have their time to shine (the NES games had their chance on Wii, now's the time for GB & GBC classics).

Don't look to Wikipedia for information anymore unless its also on Nintendo's official site. People occasionally put strange things on that list. I got momentarily excited last week when I saw Sonic CD up for the 3DS VC.

If a Wikipedia entry looks suspicious, don't trust it.

@KingMike it certainly looks that way. I don't know anything about the Double Dragon games. But seeing as how the Kunio games all got changed whenever they did get localized, I think it you're correct on that.

Oh, and as for Columns, that IS on Nintendo's official site, so that's finally coming out, even though it was announced back when the GG games for 3DS were first announced. Funny thing is, there is no page for it on Nintendo's site, the entry is there, with price info and all that, but it doesn't link to anything yet. I'm just thinking they haven't made the page yet, but its the first time I've seen that.

Anyway, I'm really happy with the huge boost that the 3DS VC is getting in Japan. Its been all double and triple game weeks for over a month now.

Funny though, Toki Tori for GBC, Prince of Persia for GBC, Mole Mania for Game Boy, and Mario Golf for NES are so far still not in Japan.

I want Collums and Mega man here too!

Next thing you'll know... Some idiot will put up that MOTHER on NES will be up next week on wikipedia.

Hopefully it comes here soon... AND WE GET THE GB MEGA MAN II TOO.

@TheDreamingHawk Actually, I have all three Mother games for the GBA. I can tell you're a fan, haha.

You're probably right about the wikipedia thing, but since so many people use that site and put wrong info up, it probably has been listed by some random person already.

I'm curious about Columns though.

Me too. I hope we can get puzzle action with multiplay too!

Seeing how you just got on summer break ( strange since I only have 2 weeks left) let me know when you add our FCs. (I can't stop wanting to see you play Fire emblem NES!

I didn't much like GB Mega Man 2 originally. I found Dr. Wily's Revenge to be the superior game. I haven't played any GB Mega Man game after that.

2 seems to be the least liked of the GB MM games.
At least one reason I suppose being that it's the only one to not use music ported from the NES (well, excluding 5 of course, because it used all-new bosses).

@Kingmike And from what I've seen, the NES/Famicom MM is amongst the best.

@TheDreamingHawk Looks like it has multiplayer, locally. That's nice I just started Fire Emblem. Love it so far

Now we wait for columns in NA. I really want it.

And seeing how this is before Tsuchinoko comes on, so I don't constantly get too excited, feel free to finally add me when you hop on this week.
