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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
I had 10 games, but I've thought of more as time went. So here's my 25 games I would like to see on VC. 1) Turtles in Time 2) Contra 3) Gauntlet 4) Karnov 5) Paperboy 6) R.C. Pro Am 7) Double Dragon II 8) Return of Double Dragon 9) Mutant League Football 10) Road Rash 11) Primal Rage 12) 7up Spot 13) DuckTales 14) Chip N' Dales Rescue Rangers 15) BattleToads 16) Uniracers 17) Contra Hard Corps 18) Winback 19) Zombies Ate My Neighbors 20) Super Smash Bros. 21) Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone Heist 22) Super Punch Out 23) Super Mario Kart 24) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 25) Tetris 64 (The one where you could build the seven wonders of the world with the blocks collected, I think.)
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.
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".
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)
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.
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
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
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.
@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.
@chunky_droid: That's a good dream. A Wii game release with a related VC game hasn't happened since Mario Galaxy and Mario 3 came out, I think. My dream VC game for this month is that hopefully PSIV comes out.
Still playing Chrono Trigger. I love Sonic games, but why don't we get Sonic & Knuckles instead of kinda Game Gear Sonic games. I'll get pissed if NOA is still doing one crappy VC game weeks by the week of the 22nd and the 29th.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I as well have downloaded it when it came out, then S&P. DH is an awsome platformer, its a little out there but really fun, and I still haven't beatin it yet. I'll get around to it eventually.
@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.
I have 30 VC and 1 WiiWare, plus some channels and 10 game saves, and I still have over 5100 blocks left on my 1 GB. So I think I'll be fine transferring games until the spring. I'm guessing it will be around March.
Isn't it one of the humans in the digimon series? The next VC games I'm waiting for is Secret of Mana and Earthworm Jim. Hopefully in the next couple of months.
Wow. One great week. Super Dodge ball I played alot as a kid and Vectorman is amazing in itself. Then there's MM9 which everyone should get at some point.
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.

Re: USA VC Update: MUSHA
Ya, I was just adding to ur list. I know there not published by SEGA but still they were classics that should show somewhere.
Re: USA VC Update: MUSHA
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: Enduro Racer
At least its another N64 game. Better than not getting any N64 games month after month....after month.
Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer
@Tony: No it's Superman 64 and Super Pitfall next week. Then again thats two games, so actually just Superman 64.
Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer

Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
Sonic needs a comeback, and it should be on the WiiWare in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Re: EU VC Update: Last Ninja 3, Impossible Mission II and Boogerman
Next EU Update: Sonic 2, Secret of Mana, Mario Golf 64
That would be sweet.
US Update on the 22nd: Castlevania III, Phantasy Star IV
Well here's hoping.
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
mmmmm....processed american cheese...drool
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)

Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
So USA has gotten 20 games since Sept. 1st. Hmm... So at this rate by March or April we should have around 300 games.
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
Still playing Chrono Trigger. I love Sonic games, but why don't we get Sonic & Knuckles instead of kinda Game Gear Sonic games. I'll get pissed if NOA is still doing one crappy VC game weeks by the week of the 22nd and the 29th.
Re: USA VC Update: Metal Slug 2
@chunky_droid: 150th SMB: Lost Levels 200th: Harvest Moon
Re: USA VC Update: Metal Slug 2
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
nothing for me this week.
(Fires up Chrono Trigger DS)
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
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 Update: Mega Man 3
remember, wii anniversary is next week. Eventhough monday doesn't fall on the 19th, but the 17th is close enough.
Edit: Here's hoping
Re: USA VC Update: Space Harrier
If this is going to be like summer of 08 then next week will be one NeoGeo game. Hopefully Metal Slug 2.
Re: USA VC Update: Space Harrier
This is craptastic!!
back to LBP.
Re: USA VC Release - Earthworm Jim
@Jolted85: Happy post B-day.
Genesis version is superior, IMO.
Re: USA VC Release - Earthworm Jim
@Tony: Maybe just like Simpsons Treehouse of horror always comes soon after Halloween, maybe NOA will release a Halloween game next Monday.
Re: USA VC Releases: Gradius II and Digital Champ
@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: EU VC Releases: Mayhem in Monsterland and More
Besides Mayhem in Monsterland, you guys got jipped. Three games this week is weak.
Re: USA VC Releases: Secret of Mana and Street Fighter II Genesis
So TG16 games next week, and the last Monday in October is probably Castlevania 3 and Earthworm Jim.
@Rapadash6: I agree with ya.
Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II
Those two TG16 games are coming this Monday.
Gradius 2 and Digital Champ: Battle Boxing.
I'll be surprised if EWJ came out.
Re: OFLC Update: Mega Man 3
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.

Castlevania III should also come out for Halloween week IMO.
Re: EU VC Releases: Earthworm Jim and Shining Force II
Hudson has been wrong before. Probably not this time though.
Re: EU VC Releases: Earthworm Jim and Shining Force II
@Cally: because its the best, IMO. I'm pretty sure we'll see this coming Monday or next. We might get the two TG16 games first.
Re: Virtual Console games to be directly downloadable to SD cards
I have 30 VC and 1 WiiWare, plus some channels and 10 game saves, and I still have over 5100 blocks left on my 1 GB. So I think I'll be fine transferring games until the spring. I'm guessing it will be around March.
Re: USA VC Release: Super Turrican 2
Happy B-day. Bomberman Blast and Super Turrican 2 are pretty sweet b-day gifts.
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Dodge Ball and Vectorman
Hopefully wait until the Tokyo Game Show commences.
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Dodge Ball and Vectorman
Isn't it one of the humans in the digimon series? The next VC games I'm waiting for is Secret of Mana and Earthworm Jim. Hopefully in the next couple of months.

Wow. One great week. Super Dodge ball I played alot as a kid and Vectorman is amazing in itself. Then there's MM9 which everyone should get at some point.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2
Capcom needs to make an X9 like Mega Man 9 but use the original graphics from MegaMan X of course.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2
@Digiki: I also bought DQIV today. MMX4 is pretty sweet. I've beaten X through X6, except X3 that was a little too hard. I hated the 3D X's X7 & X8.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2
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.
