I never really got into fighting games, but I always wanted to - the fights seemed so cinematic and corriographed, like an action movie - and I think Samurai Shodown II would be a good game to try
Oh, yeah. The game is gooood. One of the things I've always liked about it is the atmosphere and the music. So awesome.
It's a remake? I thought it was an all new game? Hmm...I'll look into it. Anyway, companies don't have to take this bull from Nintendo. They should probably look into releasing their games on XBLA or PSN.
Nice article. If it's true that third parties want to put pressure on Nintendo, maybe they should release them on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN. I don't know if Microsoft or Sony will allow straight rom dumps to be put up on their services, though.
And that statement is not even an apology. It's more like they are cleaning up their own mess. I just hope this is the last time something like this happens because this is a terrible way to establish relationships with third-party publishers.
I agree. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if companies stop adding their games to the vc because of this crap, but who knows how much money they make off of each download.
Man what a bummer. I was so getting ready to go right now to get my points card, but something told me that I should check to confirm if the games were really being released.
I really wanted to play Y's. Thanks alot, Nintendo.
Yeah, I love the music in this game, too. Sure, it's not as good as part two, imo, but listening to the elecman, cutman and the wily castle tracks always brings a smile to my face.
@ deadly.by.design: Yes the buttons are reversed. It was very annoying when I first played it because I was so used to NES button placement, but eventually I got used to it. Just give it time.
Anyway, this is going to be one heck of a release day. A fighter, a platformer and an rpg? A winner is us!

Re: Silent Hill Wii-make Will Make You Wet Your Pants All Over Again
The whole "game watching you" deal sounds pretty creepy.

Man, I would love for them to release that game. I thought the music was awesome.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2

"SS2 should hit soon for the U.S, so hold yer horses, my fellow Americans."
I'm sure it'll please some Americans, but some like me are more upset about Y's. That's the one that I wanted.

Well, at least Europe is getting it this week.

Didn't capcom release that and some other games on a collection for the GBA? Just wondering.
Re: Publishers Remain Tight-Lipped On Black Monday Debacle
@ 36. Corbie
Or, they can download roms. Saves space, are free and will save them alot of time trying to track them down.

Re: USA VC Update: Sonic (Master System) and Splatterhouse 2
@ 132. Mike
That's what I did. As soon as I woke up, I checked before I went out to buy the points card. Good thing I didn't get it.
