Shantae, here I come!

In Sonic Colors you are graded for exploring the stage and gaining points, not running through like a madman. There are usually multiple routes through a stage, too.

It rewards exploration and platforming. Like every good Sonic game should.

Oh good, we're back to mocking games we've never played. VC part 2.

Reminds me of the week Streets Of Rage 2, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Blazing Lazers came out while people whined for the lousy Yoshi Story.

You guys are going to be disappointed in retro releases unless you broaden your tastes beyond "games Nintendo makes" as they simply didn't make enough games to fill out every freaking release week.

Shocker: These are actually good games. How about looking them up?

Top notch platformer. Can't wait to get this here!

It's not really that hard to hit someone in this game.

Either way, this is way better than Rival Turf and, while not perfect by any means, is quite the fun brawler.

Brawl Bros is a great little beat em up. WAY better than Rival Turf.

I'm expecting 10/10's for both. Don't disappoint Nintendo Life.

The best action platformer and RPG of all time. Can't wait to see people whining when these two classics hit.

The system isn't even out yet, people.

In case you forgot, the DS had a pretty terrible first year.

Meh, playing it for the first time on the VC, I think this has held up surprisingly well. Certainly better single player than any other Bomberman game I've played. I'd also give it a 7 or 8.

FINALLY.

Now give us 3, 4, and Super 2 and we're all good.

Okay, Toki Tori 2.

They're most likely saving the GBA for last so it doesn't overshadow the other systems.

It will be worth the wait, though. Especially to finally be able to get a version of Ninja Five-O!

I hope Sonic 1 is put on there sooner than later. A lot of memories with that one.

Also Fantasy Zone Gear!

I wonder if playing this with the 3DS's slide pad would make it control smoother.

I hope this isn't overlooked like Henry Hatsworth was. These guys make great platformers.

I hope Monster Tale fares better at retail than this did. This team deserves hits, and Hatsworth is one of the best DS games on the system.

Love this game. Simplistic beat em up in every way, but it's just so fun.

^Too many classics to count. I approve.

Also, where are the rest of the Double Dragon games? Import PC-Engine version of Double Dragon 2 would be great as well.

Why we only have the NES port of 1, I have no idea. (At least give us the NES version of 2, that game's a classic)

SNES Capcom games (outside of Final Fight and Street Fighter) and Genesis Konami games are missing, too.

I want my Hard Corps and Mega Man X on top of Terranigma. These games should not be skipped over like this.

@HolyMackerel
Konami didn't make Contra 4, Suikoden's dead, Castlevania is practically dead, Silent Hill is a jumbled mess that keeps getting outsourced, DDR's the same thing repeatedly with different songs, Gradius is dead, and Metal Gear is milked to hell and back. You also forgot a few other franchises that Konami used to do, but since Konami doesn't even remember they exist, I doubt most gamers do.

So yeah, I agree with him. Konami sucks and has sucked for a long time. They're basically clinging to Kojima and offering nothing else to the gaming industry.

Unless you don't believe the producer of Rocket Knight (and the man responsible for Contra 4 existing at all) had to beg and plead for years for the game to get made only to get it outsourced and killed with a $15 price point.

Konami sucks.

Black Tiger can't be any more frustrating for platforming than any GnG game is.

Quintet games.

PLEASE.

TvC has the better roster, anyway. MvC3 keeps removing old favorites for boring characters.

I hope we eventually get Super Bonk 2, as well.

Finally, Capcom. I'll be getting Commando for sure.

I really want Black Tiger, though.

I'd prefer remakes, but sure, whatever.

PLEASE be as good as the first two...

The VC should have had ALL the Adventure Island games by now. Here's hoping the Super games get added sooner than later.

Best Sonic game since 3 & Knuckles. I cannot state my love of this game more than saying that.

Also, what's wrong with the music? This is the best soundtrack in the series since the Genesis games. WAY better than any of the others.

This is the year of platformers. I mean, this month alone has Sonic Colors, DKCR, and Epic Mickey.

This is the best 3D Sonic game.

I'd take 100 Rocket Knights and Contras over yet another portable Castlevania.

Hard to believe their crack team of 3 people couldn't figure out how to do online on the Wii.

Maybe they should have walked down the hall and asked the Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 team how they did it. It must be a total mystery. They must have cast a spell to get it to work.

Its sequel Brawl Brothers is way better.

I'll still get this because I like it, even though it's not that good.

And Final Fight 3 ain't a lukewarm sequel!

Looks like not too many people are actually keeping up with Sonic Colors.

Japan dropping the ball again in supporting their games.

Are we EVER getting that Sonic and Mario platformer? It's only what I've been waiting for since the early 90s.

Mario Party 2 and Super Bonk... So close to the ones I want! (MP3 and SB2!)

Here's hoping this means Hudson is finally picking up the slack. Bring back the Turbo!

All good N64 games need these remakes. Talk about insane improvement.

We're not getting this. Just like we didn't get the DS and PSP Tales games.

Man, if they would just port 1 & 2 from the GC, I would preorder ten copies. Those games were AWESOME.

The video on the homepage is way better.

This one: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/conference2010/3ds/lineupMovHigh.html

So... Can we buy DSiWare games on the 3DS?

Ninja Five-O, Dragonball Advanced Adventure, and Shantae please.

Please don't be a Wii VC repeat and leave out most of the rare or lesser known stuff.

^Both of those are masterpieces. I would also like the Turbografx version of Double Dragon II. What is the hold up on that series?

There is STILL no excuse for the lack of NES Contra, though. Not to mention Jackal, Contra Hard Corps, Soul Blazer, Rygar NES, Ys III, Rockin' Kats, Gun Nac, Illusion Of Gaia, Legendary Axe, Ranger X, Rocket Knight Adventures, Terranigma, and many others. We could also do with some more imports.

Luckily Sunsoft is aboard, so I'm looking forward to Gimmick! and Journey To Silius. Not to mention those Nihon Telenet games.

The music for this game is great. It's a pretty solid platformer, too.

I hope it ends up on the VC sooner or later.

Now that we have the return of Hudson produced Falcom games, can we get Ys III now? At this point I don't even really care which version, I just want it.

Oh yeah, I also second Adventure Island 2 and 3, and heck, the rest of the AI games. What's the hold up there?

Depends. Are we talking well designed Contra and Mega Man hard, or bad level design and cheap death 'hard'?

Because the latter is not really very fun.

They should release this at budget price since they've already devalued it so much themselves.

By the way has it been confirmed that the Elite extra is a download or not? Because if it's on the disc as an unlock code... Well, a lot of people are not going to find their buy and trade strategy very effective...
