When it was released Nintendo Australia said it was limited time because it was meant as a 'collectors item'. I have no idea what Nintendo Europe said or whether they were saying the truth about their statement.
Why is Europe/Australia 13 games behind? Aren't the US always playing catch-up with us? They better be releasing Super Smash Bros. as a 200th game present for us...
Honestly Nintendo, this is bloody ridiculous, we have too many side-scrolling shooters as it is and I want more than one game a week. We Need more N64 and SNES games, there is a total lack of them.
@ Monmoya Really? Thats interesting, but everytime I go into Gametraders, it's easy to find old NES games but never Master System games, nevertheless, I'm looking forward to Outrun.
While more N64 games is always a good addition, I think I'll give this one a miss and wait for Crusi'n USA. Unless of course Nintendo finally decide to pull out their finger and release Super Mario Kart or Majora's Mask... (sigh)
konohashin I know how you feel, in Australia we have ridiculous ratings for our games as well, but not as bad as that. Missing out on the full Resident Evil 4, I feel sorry for you, have you tried importing from Austria or the Netherlands, were you can get the full game?
Back on topic: "it's really hard to control compared to 2 stick shooters" no way, I hate 2-stick FPS games, I always liked GoldenEye's 1-stick method, that's why I hated Halo (and most modern FPS except for Wii ones) for the terribe 2-stick strafing crap.
How stupid are Rare? Nobody who owns an Xbox 360 respects classic games, all they care about is online multiplayer games with voice chat, screw that, there is no-way I would ever buy an Xbox 360 for Rare games.
Finally reached 10 N64 games, is that all we got in one year? Hopefully there will be much more next year... By the way, I might just mtion that if you download the Photo Channel Update and then want MP3 support back, all you have to do is simply delete the update and you will get the old Photo Channel.
If Nintendo really wish too increase sales, it wouldn't hurt to release much more quality titles on the VC, and some more N64 games (which are worth 1000 points by the way) would definetly boost sales.
We better get a MUCH better game(s) next week to make up for this. Could the game with technical difficultie of been Majora's Mask? I heard that the emulated version has a lot of crashes on the GameCube.
This game is good in short bursts, I have it on the Sonic Gems Collection for GameCube so I will give this a miss, but the Virtual Console version will probably be better because of the saving feature. However, I believ that the sequel is actually better, because its not so damn hard!
Ah, i remember this game, it brings back so many childhood memories. I used to play this as a 6-7 year old when I lived in Sydney ages ago. The rating was pretty harsh, it deserves 4-stars i reckon. Plus I'm gonna let childhood memories make my decision here.
The good old N64 days, I adored the games that came out for it. Every time I play my N64 it brinfgs back good memories of the 1990's and the turn of the millennium (2000). Anyway, dies anyone have any idea when Majora's Mask will be released on the Virtual Console? It's the only Zelda game not on there, and I desperately want it.
Now, if they could just put Majora's Mask on there and all the Zelda games would be available, HURRY UP, I want Majora's Mask more than any other Zelda.

Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
@ Csheroe
Agreed, do you think they'll also release Super Mario Kart to coincide with Mario Kart Wii?
Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
Whatever happened to Cruisin USA and Smash Bros?
Re: EU VC Releases - 22nd February - Street Gangs
Not really interested, we're getting too many NES games now...
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th February - Sega Week - Phantasy Star II
Sega week finally arrives, but I think I'll give this week a miss, however at least we get more than 1 game.

Re: Virtual Console Passes 10m Downloads Milestone
I'm surprised Nintendo don't advertise the VC more often, it might make them some extra cash, plus a major reason I bought the Wii was for the VC.

Re: Hardware Focus - Sega Master System
I wasnt born when this was released, but i doubt it was ever popular in Australia...
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
@ DEMON212, i agree i also have an N64, but i like to have all my games on one system, plus i much prefer the GC control to the N64 one...
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
C'mon Waxxy, even you could admit that Nintendo 64 and (to an extent) SNES releases are TERRIBLY slow, why exactly is that?
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
C'mon Nintendo honestly, by the time most of the games are released at this rate, it will be 2014...

Re: Cruis'n USA
I might consider downloading this, I have a lot of good memories of my childhood with this, plus my dad loved this game.

Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - January 2008
C'mon where's Majora's Mask and Super Mario Kart? Oh and why were Europe and Australia left without our Friday update? Thats ridiculous...

Re: The King of Fighters '94
How many KOF games were there on the Neo-Geo, is 1994 the earliest? also what's the latest on the Neo-Geo?
Re: The Virtual Console Archive is One Today!
Good on ya guys, with ya all the way, and yes you are right about the N64 VC needing more games.
Re: EU VC Releases - 16th November - Double Dribble

Re: The Shaft - Virtual Console joystick
Can you also use it as a GameCube controller?
Re: US VC Releases - 12th November - Axelay (+ Worldwide Mii Contest Channel)
To coincide with the release of Link's Crossbow Training, will Nintendo release Majora's Mask on the VC?
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2007
I wish they would hurry up and announce Majora's Mask already, it's the only Zelda game not on there
Re: Vectorman

Re: Gate of Thunder
Is this game hard?
Re: EU VC Releases - 12th October - Super Metroid
Goddammit, when are we going to get more N64 games?
Re: Yoshi's Story

Re: Europe VC Releases - 13th July - Paper Mario
So much for the "Friday the 13th" superstition, this has got to be one of the best VC updates so far.

Re: TurboGrafx-16 in Australia from 7th July
SWEET!
Now, If only they released 12 N64 Games in one-day...
Re: Australia to get TurboGrafx-16 games in July
Yes! At last, this is the best news I've heard all week, maybe Nintendo Australia don't hate us after all...
Re: Hudsonsoft Game Explosion
Us poor Aussies, missing out on all these classics because Nintendo Australia wont give us some damn TG16 games. WHY?
Re: Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Is this version easier than the SNES one?
Re: Europe VC Releases - 23rd March - Zelda Link to the Past (Finally!)
Now, if they could just put Majora's Mask on there and all the Zelda games would be available, HURRY UP, I want Majora's Mask more than any other Zelda.
