Mayhem

Expensive though... still, we'll see heh...

I'll be there, so yes I'll be scoping out the games stuff at the various booths

Well, this is the start of something wonderful... but yes, I hope it also comes out in the US. So they can enjoy it without having to import, and so my stack of games still looks reasonably uniform

Guess I must have gone through the website to claim my prize before everyone from the US got online then

I'm glad this game might get a slightly wider release now, especially in the US. I got my hands on the DS original a few months back and it was definitely worth the hunt.

Got Platinum status, roll on the rewards!

Yeah, looks fine to me. As for the game, I loved this and it's better than the Cube version imo.

There is, but I forgot to note it in the review; hold down attack for a few seconds and it acts like a smart bomb at the cost of half your health. Personally I wanted to enjoy the game but there was nothing present that screamed at me and grabbed me by the throat, compelling me to keep at it...

@WaltzElf - true, but the announcement text is still correct. The first FF game to be released in Europe was number seven, which is what the text says...

The one thing I can say is that Wild Guns on VC is gonna be a huge bargain compared to how much it costs to get a CIB copy of the actual thing...!

That image rather reminds of the cover to Archon...

Way overpriced there... I can't imagine the copy of Zelda I have signed by Miyamoto being worth anywhere near that...

Indeed... hopefully it will be full of win.

This was good, the two screen version was better though!

Played this to death on the PC back in the day... should be... interesting heh...

Rather amazing... and in this country of all places. I suspect some exporting from the UK might happen come September

Bought Grill Off just because, random cheap fun

@pikmaniac02 - the Zelda posters are still available in the rewards page.

Lots of people excited for OB64 coming out, am I the only one with a proper cartridge of it then or something?

I'll be getting the Warioware DS game in due time, so will be looking to see how the Wii companion pans out...

I'd seen it listed but it didn't ring any bells as said, it got no promotion and I've not seen a single review of it until now. Maybe one to look up next time I'm in the US...

@SilverBlacktail - emulated I believe, hence why it slows down.

Sheesh... some people. It's less than getting a round in by far. Why the whinging I have no idea, 1200 is pretty much a bargain for a game such as this.

Will be waiting for a score on Gladiator with interest... aside from that nothing else. Never liked Rondo, palls compared to C4 on the SFC and SotN on PS1...

@Popyman - pretty much, apparently he only started playing the game in November 2008... so not even 18 months yet!

@WiiLovePeace - nope, there's a countdown timer on each level and if it hits zero, then you lose a life. It's actually that function that causes the "kill" screen, you can read about that here and why it triggers.

Looking good... a homage to Pitfall is always welcome

Have you thought about going for the DK3 record and then technically having a 2-1 advantage over Billy Mitchell?

Conversely, in line with all the talk heard about having "performances in the bank" regarding scores achieved but not produced publically yet, how high do you think the score in DK is able to be pushed limit wise?

I've never bought the 2000 made, 200 left rumour at all. I'm pretty sure there are more of them out there than that. Mind you, it's still silly bidding for a sealed game regardless of how many exist!

Just when I was hoping for a break in the release schedule to catch up... yeah, as you put it Axelay, MM10 and this next month? Oh boy...

Woot... probably the best news of the year, more than SMG2

@andol123 - that's my post over there. The original disks DO have a copy protection system that lets you play the first level but then crashes when trying to load level two. I can't believe this would actually be the case here, but you never know...

I'm glad the game IS finally off the VC and people will be refunded because it should never have gone up in the first place like this.

$30 is fairly standard for a homebrew title for US consoles now... time for programming, manufacture and anything else needed. I don't see a lot of people complaining about paying that for 2600/7800 titles for example.

Looking forward to seeing what Ghost Slayer and Mouse House are like...

Shovelware never killed the first two Playstation consoles, so I can't quite see it doing it to the Wii either. Mind you, I was predicting another crash at some point because of it and nothing has come to pass in the last ten years so... who knows.

It'll be a new colour for the Wii...

It was harder than the first game imo... I guess it was for those who creamed the original and wanted more challenge heh. Don't think the music was quite as good but it played better.

I wonder if Capcom will make the T-shirts and a promo box available again...?

I'll be getting it (the US version), thankfully I still have my Cube arcade sticks! Bring on the rumble... if I can find enough time between Bioshock 2 and the new AA game...!

Pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pika... pikachu!

Quite odd news... but rather good if it's true.

@JimLad - I was going to make the same joke

Oh... wow...! Didn't expect it so soon... and at 500 points, might just be tempting to get...

Don't give them ideas StuffGamer, Capcom will probably do that now

I have all the games being cut bar BW2, which I had been considering. Guess I'll be looking out for it next time I shop in the US... if it's still there.

Yeah, I can't believe BIS is stopping in Aussieland already... must have had really bad sales or something...

I've sent three copies of this to people in the US over time because they knew it wasn't coming out over there. Apparently Nintendo didn't release it because the general feeling is American gamers hate Tingle. I wonder why?

Definitely agree with the score. It's a fun game but flawed...

Coupled with the performance of Dead Space Extraction, it really is a sad state of affairs. I wonder how Tatsunoko will perform in the West...?

At the buzzer... ugly shot! Getting Mark Turmell back is a confidence move in all (he also created one of my favourite C64 games, Toy Bizarre) so there's better hope for it than I'd imagine. Played the original SNES version to death back then.

Chrono Trigger is not rare. It's quite common. The price is because it's in demand because it's an excellent title. Not everything pricey is rare, and not everything rare is pricey. Demand has every factor on price as rarity does imo. But I will agree that the recent releases on physical and download mediums of older titles has depressed the value of the originals to a degree. Better for us still looking to obtain said titles, not so good for those looking to sell.

@JWL - it will certainly be a good introduction into the series. Then get the CV4 on the SNES, the best in the series imo.

At least Castlevania sounds even more promising... I still need to properly play a few others I've downloaded recently though!
