Because it was released today?

Actually, a European release has already been announced.

Rolento is in this one, probably to make up for his exclusion in the SNES version of the first game, Sodom isn't though. The only enemy from the first game besides Rolento that's in this is Andore.

@Ratengo: What Twinbee page

Yeah, but they're not in the very first game which this is supposed to be a "remake" of

Completely new, as far as I can tell. But I haven't played every single Puzzle Bobble game, so if someone tells me I'm wrong I apologize in advance

But it's not Final Fantasy VI, it's III

@ Terranigma: Super Turrican II got a European release, but with Factor 5 being practically bankrupt now sadly I don't think it'll be released on VC here anymore

It actually took Japan 4 years to get Super Punch-Out!! after the US got it back in the day, believe it or not

It's also interesting to note that they only got it as a download game by using blank SFC cartridges, so that means other download games (Super Famicom Wars, Wrecking Crew '98) are also possible now!

@ Ratengo: Yeah, I think Twinbee was definitely a mistake. Shinobi was rated on the same day as Fantasy Zone II and Secret Command though, so I still think that's the Master System version.

@ wanderlustwarrior: They weren't allowed to use the name in the US so they changed it before release, it's called Beer Pong in Europe still.

@ Djunglelurban: Nope, all three were already announced long ago but without dates

@ Bahamut: I actually just replayed Portal and it took me about 50 minutes. That's a good example of a game that gets much, much easier when you know all solutions. I think for Icarian even if you know everything it'll still take 3 hours.

F-Zero by Monster Games.

NeoGAF is a usable word, automatic 10/10 if it spawns a raging fanboy

Obviously this is just modified merchandise, I bought all of them about two years ago. There's also Luigi and a green pipe.

Banjo-Kazooie was the last Rare game I really liked. Tooie and DK64 were both trainwrecks, I always preferred GoldenEye to Perfect Dark (Don't kill me!) and everything since then has been pretty mediocre.

@ 10: The GameCube game pretty much has the least content of all except Snapped. It has exactly the same microgames as the original game (Plus about 10 new ones), but barely has any single player modes and no minigames at all.

@ Corbie: I bet you don't even own a Wii!

@ Wiiloveit: I don't even use the Classic Controller for N64 games, from my experience the GameCube controller is the better option. It works fine here.

@ Bass: I would've said that (MK64 is my least favourite Kart) but I didn't review it

It has a few annoying gameplay flaws, but besides that I love it. It's got some of the best boss battles in the Zelda series.

There won't be any, SSB is also listed on NoE's site now. The WiiWare/DSiWare games aren't yet though.

Bahamut: Simple, the two articles were written in short succession, but obviously Super Smash Bros. is big news, so we kept it on top.

Rupeeland was honestly a great game, North Americans don't know what they're missing out on

No, South Korea is getting it last

@ longtimegamer: Yes, I just had to type my code in an email. The code is unique for every player (It's probably based on your Wii or your profile name) so you can't really cheat.

Haven't gotten my goodie bag yet. Fabian from Ronimo Games said it was sent out a week and a half ago so it should arrive any day really.

The one that was cut is Hakushon Daimaou - The only Tatsunoko character in the game I actually knew before

Well, unless they add a Samurai Pizza Cat for the western release

@ Relevant: For the last month or so the updates have been at 11 PM GMT instead. No idea why, the clocks went back so it's supposed to be at midnight like the last two years!

That one's pretty tough. I eventually beat it by slowly pushing forward to defeat the vikings (Simple), then throwing rocks as much as possible while pushing forward with Sun Giants.

When the vikings have been defeated, try making your units walk along the bottom path, then switching the sign to the top path and throwing a boulder so it passes by the units on the bottom path with no problem.

Frosthammers and Catapults are your friends in that one, really!

I don't see how people can call it disappointing when Galaxy 2 was announced. This is the first time ever that there's 2 3D Mario platformers on a Nintendo console!

This is at Nintendo's Wii stand, so it's not New Super Mario Bros. 2. It's likely to be a WiiWare game if you ask me.

@ KeeperBvK: Honestly, I hardly even consider it a VC platform anymore, it got 2 games after being delayed for a year and hasn't had anything for another year since!

@ Clinker: That has to be wrong, it's not listed on Nintendo or Sega's Japanese sites. It also says they're getting Earthworm Jim 2 which is also wrong.

@ Gabbo: They'd still have to edit the entire game. Not a single Japanese import game so far was actually translated (Sin & Punishment was planned for release in the US so the one on VC is actually the unreleased North American version) so it's not very likely they'll do it.

No, we probably won't get it. There's no way Square's going to fully translate the game and release it on VC, and they won't release the game in Japanese for obvious reasons.

@ LinktotheFuture: Just go to Exhibition on the main menu and select a fighter.

@ Shiryu: Indeed, any game with B.A. Baracus under Special Thanks is awesome

@ Mik: I'll tell you when I get it

@ Objection_Blaster: I guess it could happen, but there's so many other games the US still needs (Adventure Island, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands) they might want to catch up first.

Ronimo Games said the game isn't coming out in NA today, that's all I know, honest!

It's been confirmed not to be released in the US tomorrow, so you'll have to wait at least one more week

@ Bahamut: Yeah, if it had online it'd probably be a 10. It's understandable why it's not included though, it's just not really affordable for many smaller developers. I guess they could've included leaderboards though.

Keep in mind though Umbrella Chronicles made you revisit the exact same rooms in different levels quite a few times. From the sound of it that doesn't happen here.

I still need to buy Henry Hatsworth, but I have no doubt it'll be awesome. Can't wait to see what else Kyle will work on.

Yeah, right now I'm trying to survive 20 waves in Endless Survival (Achievement in the Steam version), madness!

Good to see someone else on NL bought Plants vs. Zombies, I bought it when it was released a few days ago and it's probably my favourite PopCap game yet.

It's really weird that Contra 4 never came out in Europe, the game actually even includes the Probotectors as unlockable characters!

I guess now we know why the original Contra isn't on VC yet

I try

The only one they'll finally be able to enjoy is Cubello (Or Cubeleo as it'll be called in Japan), they've had Orbital and Dialhex on the GBA since 2006
