I'm excited, but I'm eager to see what the compilation ends up as. Considering Sam & Max is 8.95 an episode and then all 6 releases on disc in the $30 price range, its kinda painful to think of the total of the installment vs the complete package. Still though, the Sam & Max games ARE fairly long per installment, so all the complaints over 1000 Wii Points, really there's nothing to worry about here, this will surely have quality and quantity both in spades.
I really hope the "buy them all, get it on disc later" offer applies to the Wii version too. Anyone got any info on that part?
It just really blows my mind that this is a simulation for throwing balls into cups. Really, I'm sure that for 8 bucks (the price of the download) you could hit up a dollar store and get some plastic cups and balls or something to toss, and play it for real. Unlike MLE (which is way way way more deep than I'd anticipated) this just is way basic seeming.
Super Castlevania V could be the greatest thing ever. Yes Castlevania III was fantastic and another in that style was great, but damnit IV on the SNES blew I-III away.
I actually downloaded this and found it surprisingly good. The minigames aren't all that bad, though yeah they are distracting, but what frustrates me is if you want to pick up and play, its always starting from scratch it seems. I'd like to be able to attempt specific foods instead of the fighter style format, but I get that that is the idea but still...
One major thing is it isn't gross... yeah there's farts and burps but its way way way cartoony and really, if that still grosses you out, well, not much I can say to defend it at that point.
What I find worrysome is their saying "this version" won't have internet capabilities, and follow that up with no plans of add-on content. So... Pong Toss 2 will have the online I take it instead of patching the game that should have had it in the first place. Bah.

Re: Major League Eating: Kodiak Bear Unleashed
That show does look hilarious, and the simple fact that they put the bear in the game truly is awesomely ridiculous. XD

Awesome news!
Re: Super Dodge Ball
Amazing game, need it.
Re: International Karate+
I LOVED this on the C64... this needs to be available in NA ASAP.
Re: Super Castlevania IV
I was hooked on this, but never owned it. Always rented or borrowed it. REALLY tempted to grab it now.
Re: Super C
Weird that Contra isn't out yet but this is, but honestly I always prefered Super C anyway.
Re: Sin and Punishment
Quite curious about this one, but it really just seems to stand out as a shooter... which doesn't seem worth the 12 bucks from my perspective.
Re: River City Ransom
I am so tempted to pick this up, even though I beat it numerous times on the old NES.
Re: World Games
A HUGE favourite along with California Games. Epyx really was amazing back in the day.
Re: California Games
Ahh a classic, can't wait for this to his NA shores.
Re: SPOGS Racing
I've got to admit that this looks embarassingly bad.
Re: E3 2008: Mega Man 9 First Impressions
I SO cannot wait for this. I'm somewhat bummed about the lack of the slide but here's hoping we get Mega Man 10 restoring that!
Re: Plättchen - Twist 'n' Paint
Very curious but I agree with Ian Daemon, I'd like to see this one in action first.
