Alien Storm is a great game if you have more than one person willing to play with you while Monster Lair is great for about 2 minutes and then gets ultra repetitive. ..................................................------ In other words: GET CYBERNATOR!.O--0o0--O ...................................................-----
*yawn* This is very, very hard. It's worse than the likes of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts! I'd say wait for Demon's Crest to play as that annoying Red Arremer. It'll be worth the wait! Why did I add this? Because Drake reminded me of it in that update of his today about the US VC Releases! (I'm getting Pokemon Snap soon...)
Oh man, Drake, if you're right, I can't wait for some Panel de Pon Pokemon action! Of course I always liked Tetris Attack and it's Yoshi-dom better but I'll be happy to own both of them.
So then... I can finally send Ninja Gaiden to my friend so he can see how awesome it is and stop making jokes about "GAIden" even though it is not (I think it isn't...) pronounced gay-den but guy-den. XD Sending him Solomon's Key wouldn't hurt either.
I wrote the review before I played the VC version. It would normally be a good game but the controls are horridly unresponsive if you play them with a GameCube controller (and I don't own a classic controller). So... 1 STAR.
I agree that this game is like any other Pokemon spin-off. You buy it, play it for an hour or so, and beat it. Oh yeah, I hear Pokemon Battle Revolution is that way too since it boasts ZERO exploration.
Unlike Battle Revolution (I suppose, I never really played it), Pokemon Snap is pure fun. No doubt that Snap will be better than ever with the new Wii Message Board functionality!
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-YAY! Finally one year old! I remember the days when you all just wrote reviews and added star ratings before the game comes out! Yup, that's when the site was in beta. The good old days of being 0 years and 1 day old. ^_^
There is ALWAYS next week unless its the end of the world. In which case, get a life and stop worrying about the VC! Besides, this week isn't so bad. Download Fatal Fury and see how good it really is.
Also about RPGs, we will eventually get some. See, with NeoGeo, we already have our friend Samurai Shodown RPG on board eventually! And for SNES, it had a myriad of RPGs. Sure we have only one right now but you can rest assured we'll AT LEAST see Super Mario RPG soon.
Meh, it is an okay week. Fatal Fury looks to be the best of the bunch... that I don't already have. I got myself some Landstalker action, had had it for about a week! I might get Fatal Fury once it hits USA; not sure though.
It looks pretty good but considering we have three of the Star Soldiers, Blazing Lazers, Galaga, Galaga '90, StarFox 64/Lylat Wars, Sin and Punishment, Xevious, Ordyne, Gradius, Gradius II (soon enough), Gradius III and so on... it seems unneeded.
This game is somewhat difficult. Although, this game does have more than one special move per fighter right? I remember the SNES versions being really, really bad.
That is funny, there is only one shadow that is shared by the characters. World Heroes doesn't look too thrilling as Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting has already come out.
Seems like a MUST GET RIGHT AWAY title for the USA then. I'll get it right away once the Hanabi Festival hits my country. Hopefully we'll have a bit of a variety against the EU/AU Festival though.
As in, replace Sin and Punishment with something like Custom Robo 64 or Doshin the Giant, Mario's Super Picross with Mario and Wario etc.
Picked this game up last Saturday on the Shop Channel not knowing what I'd get myself into. Surprisingly, I found this to be great fun. Its second place VC RPG material! As Paper Mario is first, obviously...
Ok.... I have no doubt in my mind Paper Mario is coming out in late June-early July in both NA and EU. <br> <br>I was really into this game. I beat it almost fifteen times! Through a bad turn of events, (house burnt down) I haven't played Paper Mario for a long, long time folks. <br> <br>And the demanding $60+ price on eBay! Thank goodness my prediction WILL come true!
YAYS PAPER MARIO 104th VC GAME! Tee hee! Just joking but, its not impossible! I love the original Paper Mario and also cannot wait for Zelda II. (even though I can.)
@ a gamer: Who cares if we had to wait a month for ActRaiser?(which really is one of my favorite VC games so far) Europe had to wait almost 4 months after we go it for ALTTP.

Re: Ghosts 'n Goblins
This game is too hard to bare for most. Stay far from it!
Re: EU VC Releases - 7th December - Sega Week
Predictions for December 10, 2007 NA Releases:
Pokemon Snap - N64 (Confirmed)
Light Crusader - MD/Genesis
Monster Lair - TurboGrafx-16
Which one should I get out of these three if they DO come out though? Right now I'm leaning towards Pokemon Snap.

Re: US VC Releases - 3rd December - Eternal Champions
Ah, yet another week of waiting for something good to come out. Hopefully next week, Pokemon Snap will come out as promised by pokemon.com!

Re: Check Mii Out Channel to hit on Sunday
And now it is. HA! Never thought you lot would see me here again, eh?

Re: US VC Releases - 8th October - Neo Geo Week
I'm tried and tired of whining about games.
There is ALWAYS next week unless its the end of the world. In which case, get a life and stop worrying about the VC! Besides, this week isn't so bad. Download Fatal Fury and see how good it really is.

Re: Sonic 3D Blast
I agree with yoshi175, but by a higher degree. 5 STARS!
Re: EU VC Releases - 5th October - Fatal Fury and Sega Week
Meh, it is an okay week. Fatal Fury looks to be the best of the bunch... that I don't already have. I got myself some Landstalker action, had had it for about a week! I might get Fatal Fury once it hits USA; not sure though.
Re: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
I'm getting the points soon. And when I do, Lost Levels and Sin & Punishment, watch out! Grahh!
This is an excellent game, much better than the US SMB2 mind you.

Re: US VC Releases - 1st October - Two Japan-only games
Also LOL! The S&P Screenshot shows Jr. Troopa from Paper Mario!
Re: US VC Releases - 1st October - Two Japan-only games
YES! I need to get Mario and SnP with my next 2000 Wii Points... in about a month or two since I just got some and spent it all. -.-
Re: SMB: The Lost Levels removed from EU Wii Shop
Also, its not gone FOREVER. Just wait until the next console with VC comes out in about 7 years. XD
Re: Art of Fighting
This game is somewhat difficult. Although, this game does have more than one special move per fighter right? I remember the SNES versions being really, really bad.
Re: Samurai Shodown
Games with TOO MUCH BLOOD are overexaggerative. Its too bad, Samurai Shodown would've be an awesome game. 2/5 from me.
The Last Blade is better in all basic fighting game aspects BTW.
Re: Blue's Journey
This seems... odd. I'll have to pick this one up!
Re: World Heroes
That is funny, there is only one shadow that is shared by the characters. World Heroes doesn't look too thrilling as Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting has already come out.

Re: Magician Lord
I know, considering Magician Lord is way better. :S

Re: Yoshi's Story
I HONESTLY love this game. My advice: GET IT NOW! I already gave this 5 stars, I just needed to say this again.
Re: Yoshi's Story
...I love this game. 3 stars, are you insane!? Lol joke. But I do love this game...
Re: Samurai Ghost
Looks intersting but for some reason, I'm thinking this game will be rated two-three stars at most.
Re: Beyond Oasis
This game is even better than A Link to the Past! ^.^
Re: Adventures of Lolo
I absolutely love it, though not as much as some others. This is my favorite puzzle game though!
Re: Wave Race 64
Really, really nice water racing game. Although, are their many?
Really, really nice racing game in general. K there.
Re: Super Metroid
Amazing. The end.
Re: Sword of Vermillion
...This game is the worst RPG I have ever played. (No, I have not played Double Dungeons and never intend to as of now)
Re: Star Soldier
Ah, once again, a game whose sales were massively depleted due to bad timing; tisk, tisk. Still, it is good enough.
Re: US VC Releases - 30th July - Dynamite Headdy
And.... why not just do both; eh Adamant? Square Enix will make even MORE money that way! wink-wink
Re: Europe VC Releases - 13th July - Paper Mario
Americans who say Paper Mario is coming out on July 16th say AYE!
*AYE*
Re: Yoshi
Seriously, what SCkkKatTTrrRrbrain said.
Re: Paper Mario
Within...a......month!?
Oh and, my mistake, Japan is getting it this Tuesday.
Re: Dungeon Explorer
Urk... this game is so very hard. It is meant for 5 players and 5 players only! It is enjoyable till you hit about the 3 minute mark in regular mode.
Re: ActRaiser
This is one of the best 'Platformer Sims' available. (If there are any others!)

Re: Paper Mario
I was waaaaaaaaay overwhelmed when I played it! In my opinion Paper Mario = best Mario RPG. (And yes, I have played SMRPG)
Re: Australia to get TurboGrafx-16 games in July
@Migwel, I really don't like your attitude. "beat his wife and kids around." He was a nice guy. Now, shut up and download ActRaiser.
