Re: USA VC Update: Sonic Chaos

Bendover83

It's also Groundhog day. Back in the day Sonic 3 came out on this day. Sega called it "Hedgehog Day", so I kind of expected a Sonic game. I have a filling Super Punch Out won't come out until the Wii one comes out, and that's like in July, Smash bros. probably won't until April. I hope I'm wrong though.

Re: USA VC Update: MUSHA

Bendover83

There's Contra Hard Corps, Mutant League Football, TMNT: Hyperstone Heist, Road Rash, Primal Rage, Mortal Kombat 1&2, Lost Vikings, Earthworm Jim 2 and a few others still as well.

Re: USA VC Update: Castlevania III

Bendover83

Friday the 13th comes both in February and in March. Cause Resident Evil 5 comes out on Friday the 13th in March. So maybe both those Friday's will be good over there.

Re: USA VC Update: Castlevania III

Bendover83

@Kenryoku_Maxis: I still liked DragonQuest(Warrior) IV DS, but I've never played the original so I am missing the true classic. I'm not sure if I'll get V or VI for the DS later. I have III on Gameboy Color, IV (of course), and VIII and they're all good. imo.

Re: USA VC Update: Castlevania III

Bendover83

I as well think these one game releases have been great since PSIV, but agonizingly slow. I'm somewhat expecting a crap game or Super Smash Bros. next week. These are hit or miss weeks. If SSB doesn't come out this month than I might buy CVIII. Edit. People can continue complaining about Earthbound and Rondo of Blood now.
What could be the next Castlevania. Was Bloodlines after IV? I also have SotN on my PS3.

Re: Ten Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console In 2009

I liked bubsy games. Has anyone ever played Spot: 7up, a game for the Genesis. I would like to see original Contra as well. There's a lot of games that I've already mentioned a few times in past articles that I would like to see. So I'm kinda done with it for now. Lets just hope the slow release season comes around.

Re: Talking Point: Is the Virtual Console On The Slide?

Bendover83

Ok, I believe for every 3 to 4 months of 3 to 4 games a week
(VC + WW) we will get 2 to 3 months of "slow" time, hopefully. I own 33 VC and 1 WW (MM9) and if Nintendo is running out of licences then just release games from the coming soon list. Lincenes that they are already with, and all the other sequals or variations to games already out ie. Mega Man, Metal Slug, Contra, Ninja Turtles, Castlevania, Double Dragon, and others. We've had a few slow times and maybe it'll come around in this month or next just like what happened with the other slow months, but if it doesn't than I would just play a VC that I haven't beaten yet or play all the other classics again that I have, or play a different system (PS3). Plus, the last few weeks on VC have been good even if it was only one at a time. So people, "just grin and bare it".

Re: USA VC Update: Kirby's Dream Land 3

Bendover83

Get over it people Earthbound is not coming out for Hanabi. (I'll probably get kicked out for saying that).
KDL3 is a good Kirby game that I will download eventually, but I still have Secret of Mana and Phantasy Star IV to beat. Maybe Nintendo is going to start having WiiWare as one game releases and VC for two releases eventually. (I know, I'm hoping to much)

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

Bendover83

I loved both 1 and 2 and hated the card game in COM.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is looking better than 358/2. In graphics and story wise anyway. imo.
Level 5's White Knight Chronicles is looking decent, but they should be making Dark Cloud 3.

Re: Virtual Console Reviews - Best of 2008

Bendover83

All right people talking my language. RPG's are my favorite genre as well. Here's my list that's not in order.
Final Fantasy VIII (I liked this one better than VII)
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy IV
Dragon Quest VIII
Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2
Super Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
Dark Cloud 1 or 2
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II

Bendover83

While we're at it, I'll add my top ten:
#1 - Turtles in Time (was SMRPG)
#2 - Contra
#3 - Super Punch Out
#4 - Super Smash Bros.
#5 - Return of Double Dragon
#6 - Gauntlet
#7 - Karnov
#8 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
#9 - Mutant League Football
#10 - DuckTales or Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers (Ya, I know their licensed games)
I own Majora's Mask, but I would like to see it on VC. It makes it easier to have it as a channel. imo

Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer

Bendover83

benHULK getting ANGRY...lol
ok..ok I haven't downloaded since Earthworm Jim and that's only two months. I've gone longer, actually before August I didn't download anything since December of last year. Next week is my birthday week (its on the 21st) so I'm hoping to hell we get something on the 22nd. The way it looks though it just might be cake and a swift kick in the balls from the VC as my present.

Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)

Bendover83

@Digiki: Don't forget Double Dragon 2 and TMNT 2.
Like I said I'm not going to complain until either the week of 22nd or 29th. A Sonic game is great anytime. It's not highly rated for me since I have Sonic Mega Collection and Gems Collections and original Sonic 1, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Blast, Knuckles Choatix, Sonic CD, Sonic Chronicles, and Secret Rings. I collect the comic book series as well; only missing three issues out of 195. phew.

Re: USA VC Update: Metal Slug 2

Bendover83

hmmm....
Grabs DS, turns it on. Plays Chrono Trigger until next Monday.

With all the shooters coming out again, I would think Contra would come sooner than later. Hopefully by Christmas week something picks up.
Prince of Persia comes out this week. Another reason y not to play the Wii. I'll wait until Christmas for that one.

Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman

Bendover83

U know ocarina of time has been out for ten years. They should've put Majora's Mask out to celebrate that occasion, but nope. NOA probably can't do it because of the expansion thing. There's five Monday's in December, so hopefully only one of those weeks is one game.

Re: USA VC Releases: Gradius II and Digital Champ

Bendover83

@The Joker 72190: They should (crosses fingers)

I'm also for once glad for a bland week, eventhough Gradius 2 should be looked at by all. I need to beat SoM and I'm busy with Sonic Cronicles. Sonic Cronicles is really a great but not amazing rpg, imo. Plus I'm getting LittleBigPlanet as soon as they fix their song issue.

So many great games so little time.

Re: OFLC Update: Mega Man 3

Bendover83

I still think Capcom needs to release one Mega Man game a month now. Ex. In America anyway we had MM1 in August MM2&9 in September. So I think 3 in October, 4 in November, and etc. until Megaman 7 on SNES comes out then release MMX to X3.

Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II

Bendover83

@Corbie: The GC version did the same to me, I loved it.
Once again Hudson got kicked to the curb. I knew they would because the second week of September we got TG16 games so next week we should as well since its the second Monday.
I'm glad N64 games are back, hopefully we're not going to wait every 5 months for a new one. If that did happen, the next one would be around the 300th release. I've got a good feeling EWJ will come out this month but right now SFII is a must buy.
Castlevania III should also come out for Halloween week IMO.

Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2

Bendover83

I expect mediocre game(s) next week since MM9 is coming out. Does anyone know how much Mega Man 9 will cost? I'm going to download it anyway whatever the price.
