Wow ten years! Where did the time go?
I remember lining up at the store to pick up my first Gamecube back in 2001.
I grabbed up Star Wars Rogue leader and Luigi's Mansion.
Took it home, Hooked it right up and spent all day playing. Those little mini discs were adorable!

@ YashaTheSlayer
I didn't know about that! Thanks!
I may have to see if I can set mine that way so I can have some variety.

Awesome wallpapers!
I was looking all over for one of that Japanese cover art.
Thanks to you guys now I have it!
They're all great! It's hard to choose the one I wanna use.

I already bought Kirby's adventure on Wii VC years back.
Unless the 3D makes a big difference I might pass.
I'd assume we'll get something next week on Wii VC for sure.
That's right around thanksgiving.
It would be so wrong to leave VC fans hangin on that week.

Heck yeah! The original to me was alot better than Risky's revenge.
Let's hope this arrives soon!
Thanks WayForward!

Did anyone expect any less?
Nintendo makes a good videogame!

This game better be alot cooler than that box art.
Looks like some guy from American Gladiators wearing purple spandex.
Yeesh.

PETA: Pretty Easy To Annoy.
Get a life morons.

What I wanna know is why has it taken this long for any VC games to be even considered for release? The Wii might have another year to go.
Let's not abandon it just yet.
Not everyone is gonna go out and buy a Wii U on day one.

Say what!? I never saw this coming?
Now don't just tell us you're going to do it Capcom.
Make it happen!
I'll get it just for the chance to have an online enabled retro game.

Just as I suspected from the begining. Not quite as stellar as the Genesis titles but decent. I still may pick this up but Shinobi's grand return this is not.
Now how about someone attempt to bring Ninja Gaiden back to it's 2-D roots?
Hopefully with more success.

I always wondered what the heck a Tanooki was.
For that matter I never heard of a flying Racoon.
Leave it to Nintendo to have such quirky and Whimsical things in their games.
Now tell us what a Kuribo is? As in Kuribo's shoe.

Guess I might care about this a year from now.
Anyone else think the Wii U was revealed way too early?
What was the point of showing it to us if we can't even touch it for another year?

Well good for Japan. Let us know when they plan on giving the rest of us something on VC. You know what would be better than nothing? ANYTHING!

@ clubmini
Not for another year probably. The Wii still has a ways to go yet.

Cool a Smurf Wii!
I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die.
Oh great now I got that damn song stuck in my head.

JOYGASM! This game has me giddy as a school boy!
Btw Where can I get a poster or T-shirt of the above pic?
That's awesome!

They couldn't even give us one Gameboy game?
This is already getting as bad as the Wii VC.

Besides being an overhead view it didn't seem very Zelda inspired to me.
I was expecting to see some Zelda type enemies or something.
You know, Kinda like how Link's awakening had Goombas.

Weren't they saying a while back we are only getting maybe 6 3D classics?
I thought it was too difficult to convert them.
It certainly would be nice to have something respectable instead of lame crap like Urban Champion.

I haven't played any of the Bionic Commando games.
Always wanted to though. Is this one pretty good?

I don't see how this is redundant when it's a completely different game from the original.
It's not just a Gameboy version of the Nes game.
Also I can't find one negative review online except right here on Nintendolife.
Gamefaqs has all positive reviews as well as Ign. This score does not compute.

I honestly didn't care much for the original.
The Joust style gameplay got boring real fast.
Since the sequel is a platformer with bosses and actually throws is some variety I find it more apealing. Yeah I think I'll get it.

Dang are you kidding me? A 4/10?
Even IGN gave this a good review. Them of all people.
It doesn't look all that bad. I bet I'd like it more than the original.
I might get it anyway.

If this means what I think it does then all I can say is...
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!
An Eternal Darkness sequel is looooooong overdue.
Say what you want I absolutely loved that game!
How many games will pretend to erase your save file just to screw with your head? None that I remember. Awesome game!

I've been wanting Strider since forever!
They better at least release that one in America.
What makes them think only Japan should still be getting VC games while everyone else gets nothing? This is such a load of Horse crap.

I'm betting on an early 2013 release myself.
The Wii U is being shown in it's final form during next years E3.
That's already the middle of the year.
I doubt it'll be released just six months later.
I smell a delay.

Wow what a crappy update.
A dumbed down version of Burger time, A Wiiware game we already know sucks and a 5 minute Shrek video we can watch on Youtube for free.
Trick or Treat indeed.

I've been playing all the games in chronological order this whole month. My first experience was with the original Nes game. It was hard as hell but that awesome music kept me coming back for more! I was always a big horror fan so the Vampire theme drew me in. Once i got into it I couldn't stop playing!

I wish Konami would hurry up and announce something new for the series. I'm starting to think they have run out of ideas. Releasing the Gameboy games on 3DS would be a step in the right direction. Or How about some Bloodlines on Wii VC?
I think we've waited long enough.

@ Burn
LOL I totally agree on Judgement.
I'm one of the biggest Castlevania fans and even I could barely stand it.
Very dissapointing.

@ Chicken_Brutus
I liked Simon's quest! It was different but still enjoyable.
One of my favorites also.

I can't decide which I love more between Rondo or Super Castlevania IV.
Both are so amazing! If it wasn't for the VC I may never have owned Rondo.
Thank goodness for that release! Now please Konami put Belmont's revenge on the 3DS shop!
While you're at it how about Bloodlines on Wii?
It's the only Castlevania I never owned and I want it now dammit!

That part in the hallway of the first RE with the dogs is what made me love this series! Never before that moment had a videogame nearly made me lose bladder control.
I almost threw the controller across the room and flipped over in my chair!
After I regained my composure I said to myself, damn that was awesome!
Been a RE nut ever since!

@ Mr_Moore3506
I used to have a bunch of those as a kid. That was back before I got my first Gameboy. There was another one called Karate King that I kinda liked. Them were the good old days.

Wow I honestly thought this was never coming.
The original Nes game has been on VC for years and just now they're throwing us this one?
Took long enough. This is my favorite of the series!
Now we wait. Guess I'll be able to download it by 2015 then.

@ Mr_Moore3506
I remember those Tiger hand helds!
I actually owned that version before playing the Nes game.

I had this game but after one playthrough that was enough for me.
I traded it in the very next day. It was more frustrating then fun. Very dissapointing game.

I'm still waiting on a port of RE 5 on a Nintendo system. It's just not right that every other numbered game in the series was made available to us except RE 5. Maybe they could port it to Wii U but it's doubtfull.

I'll probably get this if it gets added to the shop this thursday.
It's nice to try out some GB games I never knew about.

I figured only people excited about Wii fit used the balance board.
Maybe I was wrong.

@ Skotski
What ruins the game is not what console it was put on.
The Wii has many games that don't use motion controls at all.
I suspect most users of the balance board are casual players and
this type of game is not suited for the casual.
If they wanted to make the game playable without the balance board
they could have done a far better job.

On the topic of Skyward sword,
yes I do plan on swinging the remote since that is the only possible way of playing.
At least I don't have to use the balance board. That thing is about as dumb as the Gamecube Bongos.

I have never owned a balance board nor do I ever care to.
By making this game rely so heavily on this method of control it really ruins the experience. These controls mixed with this type of game was a dumb idea.
Is anybody really gonna play this standing on a balance board? Seems rediculous to me.
This could have been one of Wiiware's best.
Instead it's another cool looking game ruined by gimicky controls.

I never tried the first Glover but was always curious if it was any good.
So was it?

Good to see there's a few others who didn't outright despise TP.
I will never understand why it's more debated than any other Zelda. It's like Other M and it's highly argued upon quality. Twilight doesn't seem like an Ocarina clone to me but if that's what people wanna call it.

Some intro movie.
Nothing but pages of a storybook. Misleading title.

@ Shingi_70
That doesn't seem like a good reason for TP to miss peoples expectations. Just because getting the master sword required three items is kinda a trivial thing to be dissapointed with.
You gotta earn it somehow. Who's to say it won't be similar in skyward sword? Unless everyone else knows something I don't.

Here we go again more Twilight Princess bashing.
Why is it always that game more than the rest?
I guess I'm a weirdo for loving it.

@ Hyperstar96
I wasn't literally asking if technology was going backwards.
It's called Sarcasm. No need to get snippy.

@ James
Well you might have a point there. Dungeon, Palace, Tomb whatever
Anyway yeah Twilight did have a sky palace in the later part of the game.
You fight a big dragon at the end using your double clawshots.
Ring any bells?

How can a dungeon have a Skyview you say?
Methinks Mr. James Newton never played Twilight Princess.
Remember the sky palace?

Ha! I still have my Super Gameboy cart!
It never made sense to me why the Wii didn't include a built in Gameboy player.
If they were able to have Gameboy games played on your TV back in 1994 and again on Gameboy player for the Cube why not now? Plus the Super Gameboy could add almost full color to those old pea green games but on the 3DS VC this isn't possible?
Is technology going backwards?
I guess the old green color wasn't cool back then but suddenly now it's all retro and nostalgic.
Frankly I'd rather have an option for color.
