Hmm...Spirits for DS could potentially be a good boy but not sure on the Wii title.
Don't expect visual improves but most likely some weird new way to control Link, all with the same dungeons that we already beat on Ocarina, Majora's, Windwaker, etc...
I rather enjoy downloading and playing New Adventure Islannd (TG) on VC and some people prefer to play Call of Duty. But I am an old fart gamer, and I like old school type of games. Mind you.
ALttP is the best Zelda game ever made. Everything that was good about the original Legend of Zelda is in this game plus many new items, puzzles, and enemies. This is the game that introduced us to the magic meter and the spin attack (both are main-stays of the series ever since) and, for the first time, you get to truly interact with the people of Hyrule. Great game then and still a great game now.
The game that started it all, and it's still the best 8-bit game ever made.
This was the first Nintendo game that I ever played and I still love it to this day. Those who say that the graphics, gameplay, and music don't hold up to this day are crazy. Every single Zelda game that followed (except Zelda II) took gameplay elements from the original, and the Hyrule Overworld theme is still one of the most well-known songs in video game history.
I've been waiting for this game for a long time. I've always wanted to play "The Lost Levels" in all of its 8-bit glory. Also, on the plus side, we finally have proof that Nintendo will release games in regions that they never appeared in before. This is a great day for all Wii owners.
Man, I grew up during the "golden age" of game consoles but I never even heard of this thing back then. It's a real shame, just think of how far video could've progressed if CD technology had caught on in the early 90s instead of half-a-decade later.
This is great news for gamers all over the world. Nintendo has always been better at developing new ways of getting games out to the market and this will be no different. I have no doubt that WiiWare will be much better than Microsoft's Xbox Live's Arcade.
I agree with Kevin, why spend your hard earned money on a Sonic game when you can just buy the collection for a few bucks more? C'mon Nintendo, where are all of the classic games (from your systems) that you promised us?

Bring back the old spirit.
Please.
Re: Miyamoto Open To The Idea of User-Generated Content
You already have a superb Super Mario World level creator.
There's some superb levels out there designed by very talented amateurs.
But yeah, that requires A LOT of hours, etc...
Not simple
Re: Nintendo Download: Star Wars, Little Tournament, Heron, Monochrome Puzzle and Viking Invasion (EU)
Nothing for me this week...
Re: Review: Fatal Fury 2 (Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
Great review, and yes, Terry is a bit overpowered...
Mentioning balanced fighters, I'd say the most balanced fighter is Samurai Shodown II.
This one would be worth a download for like 600 points or so. 900 is way too high in my opinion, but so are NEO GEO games..
Re: The Haynes Video Gaming Manual
Must get
Re: Review: Biker Mice From Mars (Super Nintendo)
Great review. Keep em coming!
One per week is not enough

Nice review there
Re: Game Boy 20th Anniversary Special

A superb GB tennis game.
Re: Super Nintendo Review Fridays
I'd like to see the Bubsy games reviewed.
Re: Review: Bonk 2: Bonk's Revenge (Virtual Console / TurboGrafx-16)
It's a beautiful game.
Great platformer.
Agree with Darren, 8/10.
Re: If the PS3 is an F1 Car, the Wii is a Go-Kart
As I always say, there's a market for everyone.
I rather enjoy downloading and playing New Adventure Islannd (TG) on VC and some people prefer to play Call of Duty.
But I am an old fart gamer, and I like old school type of games.
Mind you.
Re: Driift Mania
Bought this yesterday. I have to say I am disapointed, mayhaps my hopes were too high.
Cars are extremely small and the controls are awful to say the least.
Classic controller wasn't working for me, maybe controls will improve with it but I didn't have the chance to test it yet.
My advise: Think it twice before buying.
Re: Review: Super Star Wars (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
7 is quite a fair score in my opinion.
The game is quite good but not THAT good...
Mark Hamill comment is something reviewer should consider do the two-hit combo: "edit+delete"

Re: Reggie: We’ll Be Better at E3 This Year
We still miss F-Zero on Wii & DS...
Re: Review: Samurai Shodown Anthology (Wii)
I say 9/10 is quite fair imo
Re: Original Gameboy turns 20 years old!
I still have my old Game Boy aka "The brick".
Has survived 7 ex-girlfriends Tetris addiction.
Made of win.

Re: Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure!
Rainbow Islands DS was disapointing. The controls were awful.
Now this looks kinda okay but honestly, why don't they just release the original?
Re: StarTropics
All I can say is, THANK YOU NINTENDO! YOU GUYS ROCK!
Re: Check Mii Out Channel to hit on Sunday
Sounds pretty boring to me. I'll probably pass on this one.

Re: US VC Releases - 16th July - Paper Mario
Took long enough, but it's finally here! Maybe this means that Super Mario RPG won't be far behind.

Re: US VC Releases - 25th June - SF2 Turbo
I think I'll wait until next week to spend my points.
Re: US VC Releases - 18th June - Bloody Wolf
Who cares about F-Zero X? I never even like those games anyways.

Re: Paper Mario coming to the Virtual Console
The Paper Mario games are some of the best games that Nintendo has ever put out. I can't wait to see the original on the VC.
