I really hope it does come up here. There would be more inform purchases and higher standards for the Wii.

@Snipes: I don't think that's going to happen if we don't get the game on the Virtual Console. It probably won't happen anyway because the creator is no longer involved in the series.

We'll see what comes out next Monday. Prephaps this and Pilotwings.

@geno94: I'm predicting a mid-to-late 2010 release for this game.

This update actually is better then the Japanese one. Great job Nintendo of America.

@Tony: About time, now we're going to see it!

@Bass X0: Maybe to Europe if you get MSX support. Americans however have no chance of seeing this, since we're unlikely to see MSX support. Maybe 10% of arriving here, but that's about it.

This list sucks major airplane. The Playstation Portable and Xbox 360 have been placed ABOVE the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. I call this disgraceful and an insult to the legendary Nintendo. Obviously, Metacritics hate the Wii.

And beside, 67% is still a decent average score. This list is much better then Metacritics's:

1. Nintendo DS
2. Playstation 3
3. Nintendo Wii
4. Xbox 360
5. Playstation Portable.

Why would I score the Playstation 3 above the Nintendo Wii? Because it has more universally acclaimed games. However, the Nintendo Wii has more great exclusives then the Xbox 360 and Playstation Portable combined.

Nintendo fanbase has been going downhill ever since 1996 and in 2009, they have nearly hit rock-bottom. The only good part of the fanbase left is Nintendo Life and even then, god knows how long that will last. I can only hope Nintendo Life continues to be an non-bias, intelligent, and entertaining site where I don't have to deal with professional people that don't like the system (Like Matt from IGN, it's truly sad that he left, but he seems to turn his back on Nintendo too).

If Nintendo is destroyed soon, a few months later, most of the fanbase will pretend the company never existed and make a full seamless transition to Sony's and Microsfot consoles. I however will be devastated. Nintendo is one of the very few entertainment companies that has remain loyal to it's fanbase and having to see there reputation being ruin is just quite sad, scratch that, patheic. Losing them, I will go into a depression and will never play video games ever again. Video game is my favorite hobby for a reason and I don't want Nintendo to be killed off by a bunch of angry former fans.

Officially confirm. I will be getting this for Christmas.

Awesome review and proves that this game is better then the rest of the games.

This game is gonna be awesome. Not because of the "Easy Mode", but because it's more of Mega-awesomness!

This will be our first Sega Master System title next year.

@Bass X0: I have a disagreement here. By the look of that initally, it looks near impossible. However, Nintendo can dodge lawsuit by doing one of the two things:

1. Change the title of the English and European version. Considering that Nintendo may not use the Tetris name anymore, they can just change the title of the game to something Yoshi related. However, this is for both the title screen on the Wii Shop Channel and the Virtual Console intro. They must do both. Nothing else has to change. We still get the same music, same gameplay, same everything except for the title screen.

2. Bring on the Japanese Sattleview import. If NOA and NOE are that lazy, they can always use the Japanese version of the game, which is called Yoshi's Panel De Pon and charge us 900 Wii Points. They don't have to translate anything, just use the Japanese version. Nintendo has brought games previously available in North America and still charged the extra 100 points. Example is Alien Soilder and Pluseman.

Releasing the game under Tetris Attack is impossible, but the game being release isn't. Unlike with Earthbound, which has tons of legal issues that Nintendo has to deal with, regardless of which version, there is a way to avoid all this crap know as licensing if Nintendo would do one of these things. Therefore, your arguement about the game never going to get released is flawed.

If Nintendo gets it releasing either ways, I will happily pay 2,000 Wii Points.

@Star Fox: I agree with December 14th, but on these days:

December 21, 2009: Super Smash Bros. and Final Fantasy IV
December 28, 2009: Sonic & Knuckles and [i}Earthworm Jim2[/i].

No more just remembering the game, now I will get it for Christmas. And I'm ain't listening to no review.

This is another great week. I will be getting two Nintendo Point Cards now along with Tiger Wood PGA Tour '10 for Christmas.

I've never thought this game would be released, especially given that Sunsoft closed there North American and European division. Guess I was wrong. Let's hope the game is good.

Let's see, we already have Pilotwing and Super Smash Bros. coming this month. Add with this game and the only possible bad week can happen just once.

They nearly got December, 2009 covered and we still haven't seen the first Monday yet.

@cheetahman91: We'll be waiting until next year.

I would love to play this game on the Virtual Console. Too bad it'll take forever to get there, as we have yet to see Star Fox or Super Mario Wolrld 2: Yoshi's Island, both Super FX games.

I guess it's understandable. However, I think they'll announce a new system for late 2012 instead.

Yay for more Nintendo fans! Nintendo is doing so well with the console, it's unbelievable.

However, we'll see a lot of sissy-fight about the Wii when it surpass the Nintendo Entertainment System in sales.

This could be a roadblock for Sonic & Knuckles Virtual Console release in North America and Europe. It's official, it's not coming out in either region until after the collection stop selling.

Hey guys, I sent an email to The Tetris Company to see if they'll OK'd the Virtual Console release of this game under it's original title. Here is the email. It's long, so hopefully you'll fully read this and understand what I'm trying to say:

"Hello there. I have been a loyal Tetris fan every since I've gotten the game on the Game Boy and loved the franchise ever since. However, I'm not here to praise you (Although you do deserve a LOT of it), I need to ask you a question about the Virtual Console. Please don't send a generic boring response that answer nothing and cause even more confusion. I want a stright-out answer from the highest person in rank that you can send this to, even though just someone with knowledge about this would be good enough.

I've been wondering about the statue of a game called "Tetris Attack" for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System release on the Virtual Console in North America and Europe. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with the main Tetris formula. As a matter of fact, it has almost nothing to do with Tetris in general. It's the gameplay out of the Puzzle League series, such as this game, Pokemon Puzzle League for the Nintendo 64, and Planet Puzzle League for the Nintendo DS. In short, the game is completely different from the Tetris games we all know in love.

In case you haven't heard, the game has indeed been release on the Virtual Console in Japan, but it has yet to arrive in North America, Europe, or Australia and we have no idea if we'll ever see it. As a result, it has come to my conculsion that I needed an answer to the question that everyone who is a true Puzzle League fan wants to know. If Nintendo were to release the game in North America/Europe/Australia for the Virtual Console under it's original title, beforehand, would you give them permission to release it under the original title? I know Nintendo no longer owns the right to the Tetris name, but would this prevent a Virtual Console release outside of Japan?

Please respond via email to ******************* and give us a real answer. If someone with knowledge on this can answer this, I will deeply apperatice it."

BTW, the censored words were meant to avoid giving out my email, not some curse words.

Hey guys. We might get Earthbound in 2010 after all. I heard from someone that Nintendo was sorting out the issue to get the game released on the Virtual Console.

Why many of you guys gave up, I'll never know. Sure it has legal issues, but it can't be that bad.

It's not the greatest week we had, but it's still probably going to be good. I find it a miracle that we're getting two-game weeks again, more so if it continues outside of Christmas.

@Panda: Your right about that! In fact, I heard that Nintendo of America are getting off there ass and fixing the copyright issues. Of course it'll take awhile.

@Rapadash6: I believe we'll see Sonic & Knuckles and/or Final Fantasy IV in December. We've had two-game week since the last week of October and it doesn't look to stop next month. Nintendo of America must have felt so ashamed of itself after the disaterous 2008 holiday that they decided to apoligize to us.

I remember commenting in this thread. Man was I exteremly pissed when Nintendo failed to put up a game on that week.

At least we can forget about it, correct?

At least the Virtual Console is saved, for now.

@Vio: I wouldn't be so sure. I think we'll go back to one-game week after December, 2009. Of course I would love to be proven wrong.

Please let this poor excuse of a game come out tommorow to get rid of that shovelware before Christmas.

(Prays this is released next week to flush this garbage out of the Coming Soon list in North America)

This better not interfear with the Christmas line-up in North America. And I was looking forward to this. Too bad I was dead wrong.

Twenty-four characters? I"m sold, getting this when it comes to North American shores!

No Earthbound? Awww.

Oh well, I think this will still be a great week.

Although the Nintendo Wii will never reach it's peak again, it still has good sales. The Nintendo Wii will win this generation, regardless if the PS3 is no longer in 3rd by the end of this generation.

Of course I'm getting a PS3 next year thought.

Guys, why are you complaining? You were in a far better situation then Americans just a month ago, so please stop complaining.

December should be a lot better for you guys.

@Hardy83: Better late then never.
I just know with every major online advancement, he'll still butterfly at Nintendo for being "too late".

So guys, anyone agree that they'll tear down this page soon? Sean Aaron claimed he made a mistake.

Let's hope it continues to succeed. Bit. Trip. Beat sounds awesome.

@Tony: Me too, but the question is, will we ever get it outside of Japan?

Because we obviously know this is a mistake.

@KeeperBvK: I agree, just because it's released in Japan doesn't mean it's coming to North America or Europe for that matter. But it's nice to see some Neo Geo CD games, I won't denide that.

The TG-CD games cost 200 more Wii Points then a normal TG-16 game. So I'm guessing an average Neo Geo CD game would cost 1,000 Wii Points.

@Adamant: So you're basically saying that we'll probably get the game after all? Will this qualify as an import even thought it was planned for an international release?

Did someone just make an mistake here?

And is the game called Ironclad when translated?

Also, if this is an Neo Geo CD game, isn't this suppose to cost 1,100 Wii Points?

I expect the game to hit next year in North America?

Guys, this is not a 3rd party game, it was published by Nintendo.

But who cares, I'm excited! More N64 games FTW! My favorite console gets more support.

We are one step closer to 3rd party N64 support.

The game has an OFLC rating, so European can expect it sometime in 2010.

@Hardy83: 2nd paragraph read my thought.

@brandonbwii: Could a few of those 60 games be from the TMNT series?
@brooks83: The game was going to be published by Nintendo, so I'm sure we'll be seeing that. After all, if it was published by a third-party company, we wouldn't see it with an ESRB rating in the first place.

@Kevin: Yeah, but considering that it has legal issues and we are not sure if it's coming out next month in Japan, we'll probably have no chance in hell.

However, I do predict an release next year, just because I'm optimistic.

Fantastic update. If Super Mario Kart was the only VC release, I wouldn't complain.

But pairing it up with A Boy & His Blob: Trouble in Blobolonia makes this increiable.

I'm sure we'll have two more weeks of this, as Ninja Gaiden and Shinobi are repeats of previously released games. Maybe even thoughtout the rest of the year. Of course we'll have to go back to the one-week business, which we all know and hate.

Off topic, I believe we're one step closer to getting Earthbound on the Virtual Console.

@SirGreatNose: You are right about that, but they do make mistakes and this is certantly a mistake.

I wouldn't be surprise if more sites were to know. These people would go ape **** over this!

Almost there, hopefully. Can't wait for an fantastic tommorow, even if I'm not able to get the game then and if it is the only game released tommorow.

Of course we've been wrong before.

If they are doing this, then I will e-mail Nintendo of Japan about this and order this message to Satoru Iwata.

We can understand blocking some games from the Wii, since they might suck, but Virtual Console games is unacceptable.

Now the chances of Ubisoft supporting the Virtual Console has diminished.

It's coming this Christmas. Hooray!

Finally something from Nintendo and it only took six months.

I have made my decision for Christmas. Getting two Nintendo Point Cards for sure and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
