I've yet to play the first game, but its sequel is my #1 favourite N64 racing game of all time (my all time favourite would have to be Monster Truck Madness 2. Yeah, I'm weird ).
Bit of a stretch to label one unofficial forum post on Sunsoft's own community forum as a plea for money. It's natural that Sunsoft would wait and see how much money they make (or potentially lose) from Ufouria before green-lighting games of similar background.
Want to see more oddball titles available for download? Pay a measly 600 Points for Ufouria and hope that enough people do the same to justify more translations.
That's somewhat misleading, as Ufouria was previously translated into English (with some graphical changes as well). I do hope Ufouria sells well regardless, as I'd love to see Sunsoft continue their support of the VC (and I'd also love to play an English translation of Albert Odyssey).
For the record, I've bought Ufouria and I'm enjoying it immensely.
I've played a bit of this game, but not enough to form an accurate opinion on it (although I am aware of the bad rep it gets for being dumbed down for Western audiences). It wasn't terrible, so I might buy it if it's ever released here. More Square Enix support is always great.
By the way, I'm curious. What do you mean by "trademark filed?"
It's because you haven't seen all of them yet. That's why.
Neither have we, and I certainly don't need to research anything to see that the Pokémon revealed so far are incredibly bland (seriously, Gear is just... two gears. There's nothing special about him or any of the others). All in my opinion, of course. About stating your opinion in a news piece, I'd be inclined to agree with you if this was a serious issue involving politics or whatever. In this case, however, I don't think it really matters. Although...
...I could be wrong.
That's my two cents.
Fun Fact: Araragi translates to "Japanese Yew," so that'll probably be her name in the English translation (minus the first word, of course).

Re: Square Enix Brings More SNES Goodies to Virtual Console
I'll definitely be buying both.
Re: Lufia & The Fortress of Doom
Awesome!
Re: Take On the Master Quest in Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Now I'm interested.
Re: Skyward Sword Combat Trailer Shows Plenty of MotionPlus
More of a "puzzle" trailer than a combat trailer, IMO. I want to see some actual action.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - March 2011
Yay, FFVI!
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2011 (North America)
I'll be picking up Faxanadu the next time I buy a new points card.
Re: Bomberman Hero Gets Rated for Virtual Console
Somewhat interested...
Re: Features: Games That Should Already Be on Virtual Console
I'd love it if Throwback Entertainment would re-release some of the IPs they bought from Acclaim on VC, with Iggy's Reckin' Balls being #1 on my list.
Re: Activision Disbands Guitar Hero Business, No Entry in 2011
This sucks.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2011
Probably the biggest Neo Geo game to hit VC so far
Close. It's tied with Metal Slug 2 (both are 362 Megs).
Re: First Impressions: 3DS Virtual Console
Pretty sure the 3DS VC and Wii VC are completely separate services, Wolfenstein83. Transferring between the two will be impossible.
Re: First Impressions: 3DS Virtual Console
As long as everything is still recognizable, I'm good. But an option to switch back to the original resolution would be nice.
Re: First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Not really interested.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th December 2010 (North America)
I'll just sit patiently and wait for Lufia to arrive.
Re: Put Your Mario Party Hats On This Monday, North America
It's one of the better Mario Party games, IMO, but I already own an original cartridge.
Re: There May Never Be Another Smash Bros. as Hardcore as Melee
Thank you, Sakurai, for helping me to save money.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2010 (North America)
Nothing I'd buy, but having two VC games released in one week is pretty cool.
Re: Taito's Trademark Applications Suggest the Return of SNES Titles
Yay, Lufia!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - November 2010
Already have Mario Party 2, and nothing else on the list interests me. Oh well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October 2010 (North America)
I'll be getting Mystic Quest eventually.
Re: Street Hoop
It has now been ESRB rated as well. I wouldn't be suprised if it's the next North American VC release.
Re: Nintendo Release Schedule Outs Mario Party 2, Super Bonk and More
@Fuzzy Bombsketball is from the first MP game.
Re: Review: Snowboard Kids (Nintendo 64)
I've yet to play the first game, but its sequel is my #1 favourite N64 racing game of all time (my all time favourite would have to be Monster Truck Madness 2. Yeah, I'm weird ).
Re: Nintendo Release Schedule Outs Mario Party 2, Super Bonk and More
I'd much rather have 1 or 3, as I already own the second game.
Re: Virtual Handheld Confirmed for 3DS
Nice.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th September (North America)
Nothing for me, which suits me just fine.
Re: Review: Metroid: Other M (Wii)
Meh. I was never that big of a Metroid fan, and this game certainly doesn't change that.

Re: Nintendo Download: August 23rd (North America)
If we get good sales of this one, I can keep pushing to get some of the other unreleased or hard to do stuff that you've been asking for out in North America.
You heard him, folks.
Re: Nintendo Download: August 23rd (North America)
Waiting for his brother to get off the Wii so he can download Ufouria
Re: The Evolution of Mario, Ka-Boomed into a Mushroom Cloud
@SuperPeach Double Dash Mario is underneath SMW2 Yoshi's Nose in the bottom right corner (he is rather small though).
Re: The Evolution of Mario, Ka-Boomed into a Mushroom Cloud
They forgot this one...
Re: Features: Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life
STUIPEST
I laughed.
Thank you so much for sharing these with us.
Re: Harvest Moon 64 Will Not Sprout on Virtual Console
Disappointing, considering HM64 goes for a fair bit of money on eBay.
Re: Get Ready for a Story Mode Full of New Pokemon in Black & White
This makes me feel a bit better. Not enough to make it a definite purchase, though.
Re: Not Tetris Looks Like Tetris But is Not Tetris
The first thing I thought of as I read the story was this...
Re: Netflix Launching in Canada This Fall
Don't really plan on getting it, but it's nice to have the option to.
Re: Aero the Acrobat
It has now been rated by the ESRB as well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd July (Europe)
I'm also interested in that Ufouria game and will probably get it once it's released over here.
Re: Triple Trouble in this New Pokemon Black & White Trailer
Eh, it's going to take a lot more than 3-on-3 battles to get me interested.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th June 2010 (North America)
Mario Tennis is an excellent game, however I already own it for my N64. Anyone who loves sports games should download it at some point.
Finally a VC game. I am going to grab that one for sure, now are we going to have to wait 3 weeks again for another VC game???
Two, actually, unless Nintendo decide to break the pattern they've been using for the last few releases.
Re: Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
I've played a bit of this game, but not enough to form an accurate opinion on it (although I am aware of the bad rep it gets for being dumbed down for Western audiences). It wasn't terrible, so I might buy it if it's ever released here. More Square Enix support is always great.

Re: E3 2010: Paper Mario for 3DS
Re: E3 2010: Ocarina of Time for 3DS
Already played and beat OoT more than once. No reason for me to pick up a graphically souped-up version.
Re: E3 2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns This Fall
YES
Re: E3 2010: Nintendo's 3DS line-up
The 3DS wins for Paper Mario alone.
Re: More Pokemon Black & White Monsters Revealed
It's because you haven't seen all of them yet. That's why.
Neither have we, and I certainly don't need to research anything to see that the Pokémon revealed so far are incredibly bland (seriously, Gear is just... two gears. There's nothing special about him or any of the others). All in my opinion, of course.
About stating your opinion in a news piece, I'd be inclined to agree with you if this was a serious issue involving politics or whatever. In this case, however, I don't think it really matters. Although...

That's my two cents.
Fun Fact: Araragi translates to "Japanese Yew," so that'll probably be her name in the English translation (minus the first word, of course).
Re: Rumour: Retro Bringing Back Donkey Kong
I've actually been replaying DK64 over the past few days. I wouldn't classify it as a terrible game, but like maka said, it's just boring.
Here's hoping Retro can do much better (if this rumour is true).
Re: More Pokemon Black & White Monsters Revealed
The only Pokémon that looks remotely interesting is that Munna... thing. Everything else is bleh.
