The GBA one was great, and the first DS one was kind of disappointing, so I'm glad to see this one get such a good mark. Now to choose between this game, or scribblenauts.....
The whole reason that this isn't out is because it would dominate sales of FF4: TAY. Think about it; who would buy The After Years if this game was available at the exact same price?
I have a Game Boy Player, so don't use my actual Game Boy Advance SP that much. I still use it though, and almost prefer playing game boy games on there instead of on my DS.
I can't remember the last two release week on Wiiware. (Or Virtual Console for that matter) At least we finally have Majoras Mask here in North America.
It would be reasonable to have 3 episodes across 3 groups for 800 points a group. That way we don`t have to wait a month for an episode and the game will be affordable.
NOA are being real jerks about this. It's probably the most anticipated Virtual Console release and yet they're making us wait for it, even though Europe and Japan have had it for almost a month now.
I really hate how every major game announced to come to Virtual Console spends at least a few months being ready for a release before finally hitting the shop channel.
I agree that the SNES version is by far the least prefferable of all of the versions.
Of course, when it comes out for virtual console, there will be the adventage of it only being $8.00. Even if it is the worst version, it's still a great price for this game.
The Virtual Console versions are simply ports, occasionaly with a few miscelanious tweaks. Square Enix would have to change quite a bit of the game's code to make it all say Final Fantasy IV.
This game is great. Of course, after a while you'll feel like you've done everything you can and get bored, but you'll really enjoy it until then. If you're looking for a good action game or a classic RPG, you'll probably be dissapointed. Of course, it's still a great game, so don't let that stop you from getting it.

Re: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias Announced
Awesome. I got Lostwinds on launch day, and almost forgot a sequel was coming. Let's hope it gets here soon.

Re: Wii "Most Reliable Console of This Generation"
All my console are my first of each kind. I've had my Wii for about 2 years, my 360 for a year, and my PS3 for 2 days.
Re: Square Enix Drops Some Darklord DLC On Its PALs
Square Enix loves to squeeze every dollar they can out of their fans. Hence the reason why we're still waiting for the final part of FF4: TAY.

At the start of the video you can see the words 'Last Battle' on the screen for a short time.

Mario Clock... in 4th???? Unacceptable.

@Adamant FINALLY!!!!! Somebody with a little common sense.
If the updates to the downloadable video game market are supposed to be the highlight of your week, then you clearly need a life.

Square Enix - Zelda
Re: Reggie Wants Your Dream Nintendo Franchise/Developer Pairings
If only Rare still worked with Nintendo. I'd sure love a new Donkey Kong Country game.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (10th June)
You say that Final Fantasy IV: The after years is still at the top as if it's been there for a while. It's only the second week.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) E3 Trailer
Looks great. I can't wait for this one.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 2
Awesome! Can't wait for this to come out.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (27th May)
You're going to have to run out of World of Goo pics sometime.
Re: Nostalgia Coming to Nintendo DS in September
Looks awesome.
Re: DSi (DS) Trailer
I'm still not sure if I should get one or not. I guess I'll have to wait and see what games come out on DSiWare,
Re: Nintendo: The Game Boy Advance Is Alive And Well
I have a Game Boy Player, so don't use my actual Game Boy Advance SP that much. I still use it though, and almost prefer playing game boy games on there instead of on my DS.
Re: Square Enix Confirms Dragon Quest Wars For DSiWare
If the DSiWare games continue like this then I might consider buying one.
Re: Nintendo Download: Masks, Crystals, Chess and Art (US)

Re: Check Out Some Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Gameplay
It would be reasonable to have 3 episodes across 3 groups for 800 points a group. That way we don`t have to wait a month for an episode and the game will be affordable.
Re: Check Out Some Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Gameplay
Now that I know it's episodic I'm rethinking buying this.
Re: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years Coming to WiiWare June 1st
I'm guessing the DS release of Final Fantasy IV means we won't see that for a while. At least we'll be getting this sooner than later.
Re: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Finally! We have a release date!
Re: Pokémon Gold and Silver To Be Remade?
World exclusive?
I sure hope we get these remakes.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
NOA are being real jerks about this. It's probably the most anticipated Virtual Console release and yet they're making us wait for it, even though Europe and Japan have had it for almost a month now.
Re: Final Fantasy
I really hate how every major game announced to come to Virtual Console spends at least a few months being ready for a release before finally hitting the shop channel.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
@ Turbo Genesis 64
The whole point was that the Majoras Mask world is like an alternate universe to the Ocarina of Time world and that the people are mostly the same.
Re: Final Fantasy IV
@VenomTheEvil
The DS remake also features an increased difficulty, which is prefferable if you don't like the easier version on the SNES.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (15th Apr)
Is the intro going to stay the same week after week or what?
Re: Final Fantasy IV
I agree that the SNES version is by far the least prefferable of all of the versions.
Of course, when it comes out for virtual console, there will be the adventage of it only being $8.00. Even if it is the worst version, it's still a great price for this game.
Re: World of Goo
Easily the best WiiWare game out there. Well worth the 1500 points.
Re: Final Fantasy IV
The Virtual Console versions are simply ports, occasionaly with a few miscelanious tweaks. Square Enix would have to change quite a bit of the game's code to make it all say Final Fantasy IV.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Glad to see this game getting the same perfect rating as OoT.
Re: The End Of The World Starts In Europe
Nice title for the article.
Can't wait for this to come to North America.
Re: Explodemon Coming to WiiWare
Looks great, but too much like Megaman.
Re: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
If you haven't played Final Fantasy IV, then buy that first. I found this out the hard way with Final Fantasy X and X-2.
Re: Onslaught
Looks great. I think I might get this one soon.
EDIT: I've got this one, and It's pretty great.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
One of the few games I still play on my N64. I don't care what anybody says, this game will always be better than Ocarina of Time.
Re: Final Fantasy IV
Finally, some decent RPGs. I can't wait for this one to come out.
Re: Final Fantasy
I've played the remakes, but I can't wait to play the original version. I'm glad Square Enix finally decided to release the Final Fantasy games on VC.
Re: Final Fantasy IV
Can't wait to download this. Hope it comes out soon.
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord
Sounds neat. I'll probably get it unless it's too much like MLAAK.
EDIT: It's hardly like MLAAK, so I'll get it. I'm glad Nintendo added the option to run games from an SD card.
Re: Rejoice! The DSi Gets a Virtual Console After All
That settles it. I'm getting a DSi.
Re: Review: Strong Bad Episode 5 - 8-Bit is Enough (WiiWare)
I sure hope there's a second season. These were fun games. Personally, my favorites were the first two.
Re: Paper Mario
You should buy it. It's no doubt one of the best games for the N64.
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
This game is great. Of course, after a while you'll feel like you've done everything you can and get bored, but you'll really enjoy it until then. If you're looking for a good action game or a classic RPG, you'll probably be dissapointed. Of course, it's still a great game, so don't let that stop you from getting it.
