This game is only easy if you plough through all of the levels and bosses without caring about what kind of ranking you receive. If you want to get an S Rank for every level, you'll need to master the controls and be able to perform split-second moves like that. snaps fingers It's still an incredible game regardless, and one of my favourites from any console.
Black Sabbath – “Children Of The Grave” Dire Straits – “Money For Nothing” Jethro Tull – “Aqualung” Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody” ZZ Top – “Sharp Dressed Man (Live)” (Would prefer the studio version, but at least we're getting a ZZ Top song actually sung by ZZ Top.)
I'm glad I chose to wait on purchasing GH5. These songs alone make GH: WoR worth buying (for me at least, and yes, I know Aqualung was in RB2), and only a little over a third of the entire soundtrack has been revealed. Awesome.
I'd prefer it if the WiiWare version of La-Mulana stayed as true to the original as it possibly could, but I'm not going to throw a fit if anything ends up being censored.
On a somewhat related note, the "Publisher" category for VC was updated also. The logos were removed and the buttons were made smaller as well as more silvery in colour.
I loved Sunshine, although I would only rate it at an 8 at best. The camera was the worst part, as I almost always wound up with a giant obstacle inbetween Mario and the screen (especially during those crucial moments when I'm hovering from one platform to the next with a bottomless pit beneath me). The bonus stages were probably the best part of the game, aside from the Pachinko (what the hell was up with the physics in that stage?) and Pianta Toss levels.

Flash Liquidising Ultra Dousing Device
The L actually stands for "Liquidizer" (unless it's different in Australia).
Okay, I've bought Military Madness, which leaves me exactly 1200 points left on my Wii. All I need to do now is sit back and wait for Monday to arrive.
After I buy this, that'll leave me with 600 points left over for an import NES or a TG-16 game (as well as Secret Command and a few VCA releases, but those don't interest me). Not bad.
I hope we get the saga games in a future hanabi festival.
Considering they were never officially translated (and as far as I can tell, they haven't been unofficially translated either), I'd say that's impossible.
Galaxy Fights looks pretty cool, although I'm more interested in Sunsoft's other Neo Geo title, Waku Waku 7.
Only 2 games left til 350. Still, I doubt that counts as a milestone in NOA's opinion.
They treated 250 as a milestone (Super Mario RPG) and I'm sure they considered 50 (Kirby's Adventure) and 150 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels) to be milestones as well. I doubt 350 will be any different.
I'm with Toon Link, although the "Virtual Handheld" (if it ever becomes a reality) must have Pokemon Silver with an eternal battery life in order to earn my money.
After this is released, that leaves EB, Chrono Trigger, Star Fox, KSS, Yoshi's Island, and Mario Party as the most oft requested games for the VC (excluding Rare titles and GoldenEye).

Re: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock to Feature All-New Story Mode
I'm referring to GHIII.
Re: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock to Feature All-New Story Mode
To be honest, I don't think that Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance are really Warriors of Rock.
I still highly doubt the Killers, Bloc Party, and Muse are Legends of Rock as well.

Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - June 2010
More Neo Geo's always nice.
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
50 stars in and lovin' every second. Excellent game, and much better than its prequel.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May 2010 (North America)
Totally was not expecting Kirby Super Star. Will buy the next time I get some points.
Re: Nintendo "Happy with Virtual Console Pricing"
I do believe Sega overcharge us for their VC Arcade games, but other than that, all I ask for is at least one VC game per week.

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2010 (North America)
Even though I have a more than sufficient backlog, they could have released something.
Re: Next Bungie Title May Head to Nintendo Consoles
My expression shall mirror Mr. Ryan's up there until I learn what kind of project Bungie has planned for the Wii.

Re: Wild Guns
Actually, EarthBound is still rated. There's just very little chance of it being released.
Re: Mistwalker in Final Stages of Development With Last Story
I'm lovin' the new music. Can't wait to see this game in action.

Re: Nintendo Download 5th April 2010 (North America)
Yes, Ironclad! And I just got a Wii Points card as an Easter present too.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April 2010 (Europe)
The Special Cup or whatever it's called is almost unbeatable for me. That's the only complaint I have, really.
Pretty good update.
Re: Happy "Nintendo Life" Anniversary!
The VC Reviews site layout was a nice nostalgic touch.
Happy One-Year Anniversary, NL!

Re: Select Downloadable Games Available for Purchase on Nintendo's Web Site
Having extra points left over from a purchase never particularly bothered me, but this is a pretty good idea nonetheless.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2010
Waku Waku 7! I hope that's released soon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd March 2010 (North America)
Cave Story is the only WiiWare game that can make up for a no-VC week, in my eyes.
Surprised at the lack of P.D4NGER is these comments. He must be having too much fun.

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th March 2010 (North America)
I'll buy FFII when I'm finished with the first one.
Great week.
Re: First Impressions: Cave Story
March 22nd can't come soon enough.
Re: Ironclad Gets ESRB Rating, Shoots It
One of the few Neo Geo titles I'm interested in. Can't wait for it to be released on this side of the Pacific.

Great to see the Neo Geo back!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - March 2010
I've got enough games to last me a few months, although I do wish Nintendo would release at least one VC game a week, just to keep the service going.
Re: More Super Mario Galaxy 2 Footage
Awesome! Hopefully I'll have some money left over after Monster Hunter 3.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February 2010 (Europe)
I predict another "Summer of '08" on the horizon.

I'm actually kind of interested in this game. I'll probably pick it up in the future someday.
