Second today, it's the first Turbografx-CD game, Gate of Thunder! It's a really good horizontal shmup, with a rocking soundtrack. There's a reason this is frequently mentioned in lists of best shoot 'em ups!
And finally today, we've got World Heroes. It's a good fighter for the Neo Geo, and it's cartoony characters are a nice alternative to Fatal Fury's slightly more realistic approach. Still, it and most other "early" Neo Geo fighters are outclassed by their own sequels, so it might be worth waiting!
A fairly diverse selection for Europe today, and none of the games are bad.

I hope Simon's Quest makes it over to the States this monday.
dissapointing week. I never really liked Castlevania 2, I'm not interested in shooters that much and I won't be downloading any more fighters (unless SF2 Alpha gets a release).
Guess I'll wait till next week.
Hm, I was hoping for some Super Turrican, can't get enough of the oldschool sidescrolling shooters.

You might want to skip Castlevania 2. After all it's horribly boring
I hope we will get Yoshis Story next Week.

Did anyone else get a metrios 3 trailer channel yesterday?
I've never played Simon's Quest so I guess I'll download it later today. Gates of Thunder is a must have! As for World Heroes - no thank you! If it ran with 60 Hz I would probably get it for completeness' sake......
Quite a bad week... Oh well at least we got Super Metroid last week.
Ohhhhhh Simon's Quest....I remember this.
This is the first
and only
super debut
of the AVGN!!!!

I got the itch about Gate of Thunder when it got released in NA this monday. I watched the video and I'm going to buy it. Kewl......
Still no Yoshi story :-/
Actually I think it's just a matter of preference.
Simon's Quest was the first Castlevania game I played when I was a kid, and I liked it a lot.
When I found out about Castlevania 3, I tried it and didn't like it.
Even when I grew up and got emulators, I still preferred it over the 1st and the 3rd games.
To me, it's like Super Metroid, except with vampires and whips.
Although I think I understand why other people hate it, since the pace is a bit slower, and there's some considerable back and forth tasks, trying to find the next item.
Nintendo, will you just give Europe their Yoshi Story?!
If you don't like Simon's Quest, think of it as an indication that Castlevania III is closer. Then after that, the TurboDuo game or possibly Bloodlines.
BJ mail them maybe it will help us ^^
I hope we will get the third Castlevania soon. Personnally I really love it. Simon's quest is ok...
I'm surprised we haven't got Bravoman or Ordyne yet. Those two seem to have been forgotten about.
I was really looking forward to this making it to the US side of the house...despite all the controversy surrounding CV2, I really enjoyed the game (and you can see some of its influences in later CV games that have become huge hits). *hopes CV2 makes it to the US*
