I don't really care about whether the breasts are censored or not, although they shouldn't be as the game was originally that way, if they must because the world's offended by such stuff, censor them. Not like people will take so much notice anyway.
The sacrificial maidens thing is important to the tone of the game though. If that gets taken out because of Nintendo's daft, age-old censoring ideals, then screw Nintendo.
This strikes me as an "it took bloody long enough" update. Seriously, it's taken how long for retro games to appear on DSiWare (in the west, at least), and even longer for Cave Story to be released.
The purpose of the VC is for games to be released. No game, no matter how bad or how many versions of it there are has a reason to be skipped if it can be released, especially considering the drought that appears to be occurring right now. All of the above games should be released. I'd buy all of them if I had the money.
@10. V8 Ninja: Care to suggest a better placeholder name? Wii 2 and DS2 seem to make the most sense as far as speculation goes for the follow-up systems, and that's all the names are, speculation, because that's all they can be at this point.
Anyways, next year is hardly a surprise for the next system, they're almost certainly going to give hints towards new systems at E3 '10, if not give a full announcement. We know discussions are underway for this anyway, so it would only be a matter of time if it isn't announced.
Another thing that would be nice is posters. I believe North America had a Zelda poster once, and I don't think there's a single poster on our service. We get junk like Mii wallpapers for phones instead.
Needs more Tingle's Balloon Fight DS. The G&W Collections are far too overpriced for what they offer. Much better deal getting the collections for the Gameboy systems.
There should be an option to price downloads at 100 points. Most apps should be at that price. But with that option, I can see a lot of low-budget shovelware being on the service... not like there isn't already, but I mean moreso.
The bastards. Still, I need to start buying games online anyways. It's the only way I'm going to get anything on my wishlist for the Gamecube, or Gameboy series.
If it were coming out over here before Christmas, I'd consider getting one. The resolution doesn't actually look too terrible, but seeing as I prefer playing portable games in the car/bus/etc to resting it on a desk, or holding it just above one, and that I'd like a new DS ASAP, I doubt I'll bother waiting unless they announce some drastic new feature before December comes.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November 2010 (Europe)
I'd get Faxanadu, but I haven't enough golds.
Re: Review: Hello Flowerz (DSiWare)
Just what I've been waiting for.
...wait, this ISN'T Plants vs. Zombies 2? Oh, fine then.
Re: Nintendo Considering Online Play and DLC for Future Zeldas
As long as there's never an official Zelda MMO, I'm good.
On the other hand though, a fan-made Zelda MMO probably wouldn't be good by any means.
Re: North American Club Nintendo Year Coming to an End Next Week
Tingle's Balloon Fight... Please, Tingle's Balloon Fight. =D
...
No, I'm serious. I want to import that thing in a language I can read. =P
Re: E3 2010: Ocarina of Time for 3DS
Can we have a source link to this please on the Nintendo site?
But yeah, this is amazing news. I'd like this.
Re: Review: Wild Guns (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
I've been wanting this ever since HVGN's review of it. An EU release please?
Re: The Nintendo Era is Over, Tweets Former Final Fantasy Scribe
Pffffffffffffffft.
Re: Pokemon Returns to European Wiis in July with PokePark: Pikachu's Adventure
Oh yay, I just can't wait...
Hooray for cash cows!
Re: Nintendo's New Redmond HQ is Rather Spiffing
Is it wrong that I just want to sneak through there as Solid Snake?

Re: Review: Game & Watch Ball (DSiWare)
Heh, used to love this game back on G&WG2.
Re: Mistwalker in Final Stages of Development With Last Story
Interesting. I'm assuming it won't be out before E3, however.
Re: Interviews: High Voltage Software - Conduit 2
Sounds interesting. Reading all this about this one makes me want to pick up the original.
Re: Review: Game & Watch Vermin (DSiWare)
My high score's 1326. ;D
Re: Laying Down the Commandments with Gods Vs Humans
This might cause a bit of controversy.
Re: Nintendo's 3DS Announcement Wasn't Supposed to Happen Like That
Well, I guess that makes some sort of sense.
Re: Review: Red Steel 2 (Wii)
Will order on Amazon sometime by Christmas. I have higher priorities, but still: do want.
Re: Win a Cave Story Wiimote!
I was about to click "Submit" until I saw the "North America only" thing. I am disappoint.

Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
I've been using my DS for this purpose without this since I first got it. No need for this.
Although I guess it should get a 1/10 for providing multiple colours and the Morse Code thing. Definitely not 2/10 though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd & 3rd March 2010 (Japan)
First step to getting other Satellaview games I guess, although that my be wishful thinking.
Re: Live Text: European Gamers Summit 2010
Seriously? Is that IT?
I expected at least something new other than release dates. Maybe there'll be something at the Australian one.
Re: Live Text: European Gamers Summit 2010
23:10:02 - 23:11:34:
Ohoho~.
This might be worth keeping a close eye on. =P
Re: Upcoming Media Summit: Promises Surprises, Hype
If Nintendo don't announce a DSi VC, I will be annoyed. Let's hope what they do announce makes up for what they should announce, but don't
Re: DS2 Rumour Is Rumour No More
Yeah, I didn't think they'd release Pokémon gen 5 on the DS.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Coming to Wii
If it were a true return to classic, he wouldn't have green eyes.
There's a twist, I'm sure of it.
Re: Pokémon Lose the Slots From Their Heart and Soul
Minesweeper! Yes! =D
Re: Nintendo of Japan Outlines What It's Up To This Year
A new Pokémon generation?
Looks like the DS2 (or whatever speculative name you want to give it) is coming out pretty soon. Maybe these Pokémon games will be launch titles for it?
Re: Nintendo Chief Doesn't Care for the iPad
Yay, no Virtual Boy 2! =D
Re: BBC Interested In Games Again
Does this mean we can have the BBC Micro on the VC?
If not, it's still great news that a decent Doctor Who game might finally emerge.

Re: Rooms: The Main Building Coming to Wii and DS
Why not just make two completely different games using a similar engine?
Not for me anyhow, I prefer my P&C games on PC.
Re: Stop Stress This Monday
Great news, I've been looking forward to this game for a while now.
Re: Yet Another Sonic Collection Inbound - This Time For DS
...couldn't it be the Advance series instead?
Or maybe as well?
Re: Naughty Nokia Boasts About Nintendo Games On N900
Well this may/may not explain why I've heard people saying "Oh, I've been playing Pokémon Yellow on my phone lately, lol". =/
Re: Review: Army Defender (DSiWare)
Only 200 points? I may consider this.
Re: Nintendo Blocking Third Party Releases On Virtual Console?
Well, that's pretty dickish. It also explains a lot.

Re: Review: LEGO Battles (DS)
..."very first Lego RTS"?
Whatever happened to Lego Rock Raiders?
Re: Club Nintendo Japan Adds WiiWare Game Ultrahand
"at 50 points"
...
Please tell me that's stars/coins/whateveritisoverthere rather than Wii Points. =/
Re: Feature: Retro Duo Console Review
Apparently, these things don't run Castlevania III. So however nice they may be for compatability, I'd call that a pretty big gap.
Re: Rumour: GAME Group Not Stocking Muramasa?
The bastards. Still, I need to start buying games online anyways. It's the only way I'm going to get anything on my wishlist for the Gamecube, or Gameboy series.

Re: Review: Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ (DSiWare)
Looks interesting. If I can ever spare the points, I'll look into this. That Vikings game is of much higher priority though.
Re: Competitions Nudge
@7. invmat:
I never noticed that... Ah well, I'll sell my goody pack then. ;D
Edit: On second thoughts, I may as well keep it. I might like the T-shirt. =P
Re: Competitions Nudge
If I win it, I'd be willing to sell the copy of Winter Olympic Games to someone who really wants it. ;D
Re: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias Takes Top Spot
Y'know, I'm waiting for you to say something like "A well-deserved 4/10" in one of these articles...
Anyhow, I'll probably get this in the new year, once I've found the last idol in the first game... Great news to hear this take top place though.
