I never said the music was better (Although I do think it is, especially the Special Circuit theme), just that there's more songs

I personally enjoyed this more than the first, it's a lot more accessible. One of the most underrated Wii games IMO, I believe it's only sold about 200.000 copies

Haunted Castle is one of the releases I'm dreading most. It's the least well-known Castlevania game for a reason!

@ North99: Not only is this not a wrestling game, it's not even a boxing game. The creators of the Wii version said it best, Punch-Out!! is more like a puzzle game.

I actually love the overworld theme, it's the only 3D Zelda game to use the Zelda theme as overworld music!

@ KeeperBvK: For another sidequest you're required to meet someone quite nearby at the same time, so it's very likely you'll find him then. In fact, you have to do that sidequest multiple times to get different rewards, so it's extremely likely you'll run into him one time. Even then, he's pretty much the only character you can miss, really.

Capcom is definitely the company I'd most like to see arcade games from. Gun.Smoke, Commando, the 1940 series, Buster Bros., Captain Commando and Knights of the Round please!

And of course the superior versions of Final Fight, MERCS, Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Strider and Forgotten Worlds

@ Adamant: And of course there's the Xbox Ninja Gaiden as well

This is definitely the best 3D Zelda if you ask me, but I'll always love A Link to the Past the most of all

@ CuzinMike: Multiple things. The music skips a lot and sometimes starts too late, some of the graphics are messed up, and worst of all, the game often freezes completely.

Infamous because of the ridiculous knowledge it requires before being able to play it well, as explained in the rest of the review

1up has a short article on the game too: http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=0&cId=3135870

Ok, I did not know that - I didn't expect a secret continue command. It doesn't change the score though!

Based on my experience it would've been a four as well - I meant that I understand that there's also people who enjoy the game, so if I should rate it with them in mind or not. I think very few people are going to be willing to spend the enormous amount of time it takes to "enjoy" the game, so I didn't.

I scored it based on what most people would probably give it - If you think it sounds at all interesting then go for it, since it does have a small following, so some people do like it

@ Charco: It is the same general game though.

Yeah, every arcade game seems to have 2009 added to the title screen. Probably a legal requirement.

Tecmo and their cheapness, apparently their game config menu also looks incredibly basic compared to that of the other three

@ marktheshark: They're only confirmed for Japan at the moment. True, we usually add games announced for Japan which were also released in EU/US, but in this case it's just too many. Maybe we'll add those which are released in Japan next month, we'll find out tomorrow

I loved Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland too, the bosses are some of the best in the Zelda series by far.

Of course not, you can throw in endless free credits, it's mapped to the controller

If you press + and 1 together, you insert a credit, if you press + and 2 you start the game.

@ timp29: It is one of the better score-based games, if you ask me.

@ Adamant: 7's a good score, really, I don't see what the problem is

@ Objection_Blaster: Just watch a video - Tons more gore!

All arcade games are 60Hz in PAL regions.

Some other sites got it wrong, apparently - It's not all six games, just the first four. Sorry to anybody who was looking forward to VI

I was considering getting this to see how bad Shinya Arino really is, but I guess not now

@ tkubas1: We only list games as 2-player if you can play with 2 players simultaneously. If you just alternate turns it's hardly multiplayer in our eyes.

Of course I don't know 100% sure, but I think it has something to do with the game being released as both Gaplus and Galaga 3 in the US originally.

Like Galaga

I downloaded Mappy, and if all games are like it, then it's basically the game in the middle of a giant black square, in which you can just barely make out the words "Arcade Game" repeatedly scrolling across the background diagonally.

I think you need to update your Wii for the games to appear since the Wii Shop also has some small changes related to the SD card game launching.

No idea what titles Japan gets, honestly, the Japanese Nintendo site isn't updated yet!

Japan has 6 games, Europe and the US only have these four.

I'd rather have Soul Blazer

If they release Donkey Kong '94 and the Wario Land games, I'll download all of them despite owning the cartridges. They're just so good.

@ KnucklesSonic8: Hudson developed Tetris Party.

Bubble Bobble hasn't even been officially announced for release outside Japan yet, I doubt it's coming soon.

@ Bass X0: Totally, when I first heard SB3's music I was amazed the SNES could pull off music that awesome

To be fair the NES game doesn't really start getting hard until the World Circuit either. Super has more opponents so obviously it takes a bit longer to get going.

It's just as hard as the NES game really, the only difference being that the final opponent is actually beatable

@ Jogurt: Yup

@ Tides of Chaos: Sin & Punishment was partially translated because the game was actually almost completely ready for US release originally. I think they just threw that version on VC.

Nintendo of Europe is located in Germany, so officially the update is on Friday since it's at midnight for them (1 AM during DST). It's only on Thursday for the UK and Portugal when there's no DST, when there is it's Friday for them as well.

According to Hudson's site, Bomberman '94 and Detana!! TwinBee will be released in the US on Monday, so it won't be this week at least (Unless NoA screws Hudson over again of course).

@ gishagos: The Wii already had a good release last month, The House of the Dead: Overkill

To be honest we thought it wasn't gonna be released outside Japan because of the US's Rambo version, I guess Sega proved us wrong

Actually, at first I thought Super Turrican 2 wasn't released here either, but a while ago I finally saw a European copy on eBay, so it actually came out here.

The problem now however is that Factor 5 is pretty much bankrupt, so they might not be able to get it out.

@ Ratengo: Shanghai II is published by Activision Blizzard according to the OFLC - It's probably a reissue of the PC version?

@ KevNash: The code can be entered on either the Wii or DSi, but the two will not "share" points, so if you add points to your Wii Shop account they will not appear on your DSi.

Well obviously we can't have the "real" first Shinobi (The arcade game), but this is meant to be a port of it.

@ odd69: The original Adventure Island only scrolled automatically when you were on a skateboard. It never auto-scolled when you weren't.

Along with Adventure Island and New Adventure Island you can spot clips of Super Adventure Island at the start, I hope this means something
