What does Galaxy have to do with this?! Yeah, it looks like it is going to be a great game and I'm going to pick it up later today, but that's still no excuse for this week's VC lineup to be disappointing. They could have released Mario RPG, Mega Man or TMNT 2 alongside those games.
I think both Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are equal. But I already have the game for my NES, though I am happy it finally came out to the Virtual Console.
Pocketim. don't worry. Now that Rare says it's possible for Banjo to hit the vc, Diddy Kong Racing may also come too. However, if I had to guess, Donkey Kong Country 3 has to come out firdt to finish the DKC triology.
After playing Double Dash! for so long, I must say that this game is alot better. Double Dash was "too colorful". My brother had Super Circut and MK: DS but they were boring to me. Super Mario Kart was cool but I don't know which one to choose between this or Super Mario Kart.
Well, Drake. I have yet to play Sonic 06, but Secret Rings was somewhat not what I was expecting. Not looking forward to Mario and Sonic either, but I'll try it.
Well, Secret Rings was just average to me. I fail to see how the game took the series back to it's 2D roots as it plays nothing like a Sonic game. Heroes did a better job at that.
I love nearly all Sonic games, because Sonic is better than most video game heroes. Sonic Spinball and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine were some of the few that I hate.
tank2tank, I completely agree with you. Nintendo needs to take a look back at what made the Donkey Kong games so great. But I actually, prefer if Rare goes back to Nintendo than the other way around.
Heck, Nintendo is doing the same thing with Mario. Ever since the Gamecube era, the Mario series is getting a lot worser (except Paper Mario: TTYD). Too many spin-offs and not enough platformers.
It's hard to tell which one is better. If you're a 2D fan then Mario World is the right choice, but if you enjoyed the Super Mario Bros. game then Super Mario 64 is up your alley as it transforms the gameplay from 2D to 3D well. Super Mario Sunshine was a step in the wrong direction (it's like World gone wrong). Those who do not have that game, don't bother buying it. It just worth a rent.
Say What?! No N64 games! But we need more N64 games than the 9 we already have! What the heck is Nintendo thinking?! At least release Mario Party for the month of Mario.
I think this is how Mario games should be like more often. To tell you the truth, Mario games were a whole lot better on the N64 then they are on the Gamecube. I'm sorry to say this but Mario games on Gamecube just aren't that fun.
This game is ten times better than Super Paper Mario. Now between this and The Thousand Year Door?, I actually like them both equally. I'm sorry to say this but Super Paper Mario is not worth the money. It is worth a rent, though.
I agree with tank2tank. After DK64, the series hasn't had any good platformers in a while. DK: Jungle Beat, from what I heard, wasn't all that good. Personally, I want a sequel to Donkey Kong 64.
I agree with Jackaroo. It's not a true Sonic game but it is a great game, nevertheless. Just like how Secret Rings is from the other 3D Sonic games. Terrific, now all we need is Sonic and Knuckles (and possibly Knuckles in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles).
I agree, 1 was a little boring but to me it was still good. Sure Sonic 2 can't hold a candle to Super Mario World, but when you combine the power of 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles" together they stand a chance.
Sure some sidekicks are annoying, but that doesn't mean I don't like playing as them. In fact, when you have Tails by your side, he can be of use. For example, if Sonic misses some rings or power ups, Tails will grab them for you.
4 out of 5? You gotta be kidding me. This is actually the first ever Sonic game I played. Yep, that's right, the first! When you combine Sonic 3 and Knuckles together, it is definetly better than Super Mario World.

Re: US VC Releases - 5th November - Super Mario Bros 3
I think we could also use a Mario game for the N64, as well.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Combine it with Sonic and Knuckles though and it will be the ultimate Sonic 2D experience!
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
I heard this was made by Traveler's Tales, the people who helped produce Crash Bandicoot's multiplatform platformers.
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
Well, not many people liked New Super Mario Bros. And the PSP already has Sonic Rivals which was in 2.5D
Re: Super Mario Bros. 3
Ah yes, Mario is great in 2D.
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
Sonic is already awesome in my book. He's alot cooler than almost every mascot.
Re: US VC Releases - 5th November - Super Mario Bros 3
I think both Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are equal. But I already have the game for my NES, though I am happy it finally came out to the Virtual Console.
Re: Sonic Spinball
Tell your brother that he should rent it, first.
To me, that game looks like a Mario sports party but with Sonic characters (despite Sega developing it, I feel Nintendo may have taken over the game).
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
Do you recommend Sonic 06, Jackaroo?
Re: Mario Kart 64
Pocketim. don't worry. Now that Rare says it's possible for Banjo to hit the vc, Diddy Kong Racing may also come too. However, if I had to guess, Donkey Kong Country 3 has to come out firdt to finish the DKC triology.

Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
Right, unless they release the "Knuckles in Sonic 2" and "Sonic 3 and Knuckles" games.
And Marcel Van Duyn didn't really need to call Sonic's 3D games "lackluster". That's an insult to the Sonic fanbase!
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
We probably may get this game in November, since Japan already has it.
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
Well, Secret Rings was just average to me. I fail to see how the game took the series back to it's 2D roots as it plays nothing like a Sonic game. Heroes did a better job at that.
Re: Sonic Spinball
I have to get Sonic Rivals 1 and 2. And Sonic 06...Not looking forward to the Olympic Games with Mario.
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
I love nearly all Sonic games, because Sonic is better than most video game heroes. Sonic Spinball and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine were some of the few that I hate.
Re: Paper Mario
That happened to me too, Andrew. No, you would have to delete the game and start all over. Sorry, that sucks!
Felius, I totally agree. Super Paper Mario was a waste of my time and money.

Re: TMNT increases in price for Europe
Whatever! Can they please just release TMNT 2: The Arcade Game already?!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2007
Say What?! No N64 games! But we need more N64 games than the 9 we already have! What the heck is Nintendo thinking?! At least release Mario Party for the month of Mario.
Re: EU VC Releases - 26th October - Magician Lord
Well, it's about time Yoshi's Story showed up. Took them long enough.
Re: US VC Releases - 22nd October - Ninja JaJaMaru-kun
Speaking of Konami, where's our Ninja Turtles 2?
Re: EU VC Releases - 19th October - Castlevania II
Nintendo, will you just give Europe their Yoshi Story?!
Re: Super Mario 64
I think this is how Mario games should be like more often. To tell you the truth, Mario games were a whole lot better on the N64 then they are on the Gamecube. I'm sorry to say this but Mario games on Gamecube just aren't that fun.
Re: Yoshi's Story
This game is a very good spin-off of the Mario series. If you like colorful games then this is up your alley.
Re: Super Mario Bros. 3
In response to your question on majora's mask release date vlad, maybe next year in 2008.
Re: EU VC Releases - 12th October - Super Metroid
Dang it, you still don't have Yoshi Story? I feel for you Europe.
Re: EU VC Releases - 5th October - Fatal Fury and Sega Week
You guys in Sweden didn't get Yoshi's Story yet? Sorry to here that.
Re: EU VC Releases - 5th October - Fatal Fury and Sega Week
I can probably speculate the US getting Golden Axe 3 this monday.
Re: Mega Man
What? This game still isn't out yet?! Nintendo and Capcom, what in the world are you guys waiting for?!
Re: US VC Releases - 1st October - Two Japan-only games
Even though I live in the US, I think that's unfair for Europe. Sometimes, Nintendo disappoints.
Re: Paper Mario
This game is ten times better than Super Paper Mario. Now between this and The Thousand Year Door?, I actually like them both equally. I'm sorry to say this but Super Paper Mario is not worth the money. It is worth a rent, though.
Re: Super Mario 64
Who has high hopes that Galaxy will be better than this or sunshine? Anyone??
Re: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
I agree with tank2tank. After DK64, the series hasn't had any good platformers in a while. DK: Jungle Beat, from what I heard, wasn't all that good. Personally, I want a sequel to Donkey Kong 64.
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
Zero, you take that back!
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
I agree with Jackaroo. It's not a true Sonic game but it is a great game, nevertheless. Just like how Secret Rings is from the other 3D Sonic games. Terrific, now all we need is Sonic and Knuckles (and possibly Knuckles in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles).
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
These Genesis games are the only good Sonic games to play on the Wii. Secret Rings was a bit of a disappointment for me.
Re: US VC Releases - 17th September - Yoshi's Story
YES! this game perfectly makes up for Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)! Me and my brother used to love this game.
Re: EU VC Releases - 14th September - Double Japan-only games
Available through September? That's unfair! I hope when the game comes to the US, they won't do the same thing to us.
Re: US VC Releases - 10th September - Sonic 3
Or Kirby's Avalanche...but hey, Sonic 3 people! Buy Sonic 3, it's better than Sonic 1.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I agree, 1 was a little boring but to me it was still good. Sure Sonic 2 can't hold a candle to Super Mario World, but when you combine the power of 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles" together they stand a chance.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog
Sure some sidekicks are annoying, but that doesn't mean I don't like playing as them. In fact, when you have Tails by your side, he can be of use. For example, if Sonic misses some rings or power ups, Tails will grab them for you.

Re: EU VC Releases - 7th September - Sega week
Don't forget we also got Sonic 2 before they did.
Re: Rare Confirms Banjo possibility for the Virtual Console
We know DK64 will be there because Nintendo owns the rights to the franchise, Michael.
Re: Rare Confirms Banjo possibility for the Virtual Console
Listen up, everybody! We have to let Nintendo know that we want Banjo and other games on the VC.
Re: Rare Confirms Banjo possibility for the Virtual Console
Yes! YES! Now I can finally get a chance to play Battletoads and Banjo-Kazooie.
