@KillTheHaterzzz: I happened to scroll up from the last post rather than going down so I saw his message first

@Ratengo: Thanks for noticing, I completely missed that.

I've got enough for the CD, but I think I'll just wait a few months until I've got 5000 for Game & Watch Collection. The Mario Galaxy soundtrack has been in stock (in the Netherlands, at least) for over a year, so I think you've got plenty of time to get either!

@Collo: Does that mean there's more after Hard? The horror!

I, on the other hand, learned to set very high expectations for this!

@Sean: They only did Super Fantasy Zone, didn't they? They're the publisher for it on VC as well.

@supersepiroth: Because there isn't? Stripping down to your underwear does not equal nudity.

@ Mario maniac: Not my fault, blame whoever proofread the review and added in links

I changed it to Funny Face.

@bro2dragons: Unlike the first game, there are no differences here other than worse graphics/sound.

@pixelman: But it isn't!

@MAddogz: Both pale in comparison to the PC version

@Sneaker13: But the week before that we got none, and it was looking like we were getting none this week as well.

@Xkhaoz: For Australia you mean, Europe got Super Smash Bros. as 300th

So, is there actually a Nintendo Life shirt?

Sounds like a fun club to me!

@edhe: Sadly neither platinum Club Nintendo status nor this game are available in Europe for now.

@Ratengo: It's gonna confuse so many people if they don't change those names for the VC release

No need to translate the first, it was originally released in Europe. The second wasn't though.

Well, Hideo Kojima regards the NES version as utter garbage while the MSX version is his first true masterpiece, I think that gives you an idea of how much better it is!

@outrun2sp: There's 6 stages, but the last one doesn't have much more than the final boss.

Haunted Castle music in stage 2, awesome. The only good thing to come out of that game.

This will easily be one of the best purchases on VC, not just because it's a fantastic game, but also because it's also one of the rarest SNES games - Just a cartridge can go for a ton on eBay.

@gladiator_posse: Animales de la Muerte will be a retail Wii game, this was announced about a year ago

@bboy2970: Yup, they're actually all minigames from a Japan-only 2002 GBA game.

There's really only two tower defence games I like - Defense Grid: The Awakening and (the radically different) Plants vs. Zombies. This one looks fairly interesting though, so I might check it out.

@Machu: Weird, I could swear they were 3000 just a while ago. Don't think those are worth it now!

I bought a Mario Party 8 sticker sheet about a year ago, and that was sent to me, so I think this should be exactly the same.

@Gavin: They send it, of course.

Well, they didn't send us anything, they must not like getting coverage!

All the characters were actually already known before Capcom even revealed any of them, because they accidentally left their names in the official site's source code. The last new character is Yatterman 2.

The reason I didn't give it a 10 is because, quite simply, in my opinion the first one should've gotten an 8 instead of a 9. This one is slightly better, therefore a 9 is the logical step up.

@Croz: Cave Story is out in Europe later this month.

@ Chibi Link: North America's 100th WiiWare game was Bit.Trip Core. Also, Frontier says Australia isn't getting LostWinds 2 yet, so if you want it for now you'll have to change regions!

@Omega:

• Yup, you can save any time.
• That's kinda hard to say, each room has a number of easy things which anybody can figure out and a bunch of actually challenging puzzles. I'd say the amount of challenging ones in each room is about 4-5.
• Everything's 2D.

@JayArr: Judge for yourself!

@Sneaker13: LIT is confirmed for an October 30th release, just in time for Halloween

@Link79: That somebody being Nintendo, who clearly put Q3 in their upcoming WiiWare games list?

Time definitely has something to do with the plot.

@SuperSonic1990: If you mean that in Last Ninja 1 you cycle through items using the virtual keyboard, yes, that's fixed, in 2 you use the minus and plus buttons.

That's pretty weird, considering Nintendo of Europe said just yesterday that it would come out this month

@Omega: Q4 is October/November/December as well, the months just haven't been decided yet.

@Terranigma: Somehow I doubt it'll be retroactive. I don't have Wii Speak so I don't know where you go for that, but I think it's in the Wii Shop's settings menu.

@Terranigma: I think your friend is simply asked to enter your Wii number once connected, after which you get a code you can enter in the special section of the Wii Shop (The same area where you can now enter codes for the free copy of NES Metroid).

@calculon: Just for Japan.

@Terranigma: Weird, in their press release it said first-party for both. Edited.

It should be noted that Japanese Wii owners got the ability to help friends back in March, and since then only 5 have managed to help 20 friends. Doesn't look like many people will make it!

It's true that NoA also announced a few DSiWare/WiiWare games, but they only announced a few and basically just lumped them together in the same list as upcoming Wii/DS games.

They didn't publish any of those games though.

Nor Mighty Flip Champs, it seems. WayForward has still never released a game in Europe

@Betagam7: However, it's a game which has been available for over 2 years - I definitely think most people know it by now, and seeing as there's no gameplay changes I think it's more important to list the differences.

@Manaman: When do those begin to appear? I played up to about round 25 on the VC version but didn't see either of them, and I didn't remember them from back in the day either. I've added a bit about them though.
