Amazing game and almost as good as the second one. It can feel pretty slow at times comparing to later games, but that doesn't really matter. Download it NOW!
I've just started again on Animal Crossing and I've really got into it. So I ported my NES games over from my old file, and Balloon Fight's just as good as I remember.
You got F-Zero X couple of weeks ago and your actually expecting Paper Mario already? I hope we get it a few weeks in front, just to make you suffer like you did and still are with Super Paper Mario!
I've owned the cart for this, and my brother has Mega Collection, but I'll probably still download this one anyway. I can't remember a lot of it, but it's certainly the best game in the Sonic series, and well worth a download from anyone.
Sorry, I just really didn't get into this game, and can't see why anyone would really like it... To me, it's a disgrace to the Zelda series, but that's just my opinion
I used to think the world of this game when I was young, it was one of my favourite games ever. But now I've realised there are much better games with exactly the same gameplay style like Streets of Rage and Final Fight. It's still a good game, but there are far better Beat 'Em Ups available. It gets a high 3 from me.
The gameplay mechanics of this and Rayman are very different, but the thing they have in common is their retratable body parts (head for DH and arms for Rayman). They can both use them in similar ways for things like grabbings things, and hitting enemy's.
I've loved this game for years, and I'll certainly rebuy it as soon as it's out on VC =D It just skims a 5* with me, but if I gave it 4 it would have been a very high 4. Reccomended for anyone who likes platformers!
It's a great game, but I'm not downloading as I've just got my SNES plugged in again after last weeks dissapointment. If Nintendo had released it last week I would have gladly got it.
The Ecco games are hugely under-rated by tons of people, and should be given a try by everyone before they pass judgement. It's not as good as Ecco 2, but still great.
Better than the original, and more importantly, one of the best games on the VC at the moment, and would probably rank in the top 3 SNES games for me. Buy it now!
I doubt we'll see DK64 until the end of the year. I'm just waiting for DKC 3 to come out at the moment. It's good they put this in it too, this game is over-priced at 500 points.
Final Fight and Streets of Rage are both much beter than Golden Axe, so there's no way this one can be worth it if it's not as good as the first one...
I'm strongly considering the download now. I have 6000 Wii points at the moment, which I want to last about 4 months. I also want a game that's a lot of fun to play but not TOO in depth. I have GCSEs coming up so I want something I can play in short bursts too, and not think about too much. Should I get it?
Possibly the best Sonic game ever, this one took the brilliance of the first one, and made it better! I would be downloading it if it were not for the fact I already have it on Mega Collection. If you've never played it before, download it NOW! (or when it comes out )
Yay! I only played SOR for the first time when it came on to the VC, and I heard part 2 is meant to be a lot better. Another game to look forward too! =D
Do I download this tonight, or get super mario 64 again? I have mario on n64, and DS, but I want it on VC too, the DS ones different! This game looks good, but I'm really not sure what to expect, so I'm nervous about downloading. What should I do?
Awesome game, I downloaded it sometime last week. I was rritated by his crappy jumping at first, but soon got over that and realised how great the game is. One of the best games available for download.

Probably one of the best NES games out there.
Re: US VC Releases - 9th July - Air Zonk
You got F-Zero X couple of weeks ago and your actually expecting Paper Mario already?
I hope we get it a few weeks in front, just to make you suffer like you did and still are with Super Paper Mario!
Re: Adventures of Lolo
I think I'm probably on around the 10th-15th puzzle. It was alright I suppose but I just failed to see what the fuss was about..
Re: Mario Bros.
An alright game, but it's already been given out free so many times on the gameboy advance it's a bit of a waste to spend 500 points..

Re: US VC Releases - 2nd July - Super Mario Bros 2
Now this probably means we'll get Ecco on Thursday. Yay!
Re: Super Mario Bros.
Need I even say anything about this?
Re: Adventures of Lolo
It's not quite what I expected, and I probably would have been better off saving my points. It's alright, but I doubt I'll see it through to the end.
Re: Baseball
Wow, judging by the video that 1* rating was well and truly deserved! I'm just glad I've never had the mispleasure of playing it
Re: Super Castlevania IV
This is the only Castlevania game I've ever played, and it's truly excellent! I was worried incase it was being overhyped here, but I was very wrong.

Re: Ecco The Dolphin
The Ecco games are hugely under-rated by tons of people, and should be given a try by everyone before they pass judgement.
It's not as good as Ecco 2, but still great.
Re: Final Fight
It's a pretty good game, if not a little too difficult. A good game if you're into beat em ups.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Better than the original, and more importantly, one of the best games on the VC at the moment, and would probably rank in the top 3 SNES games for me. Buy it now!
Re: Kirby's Avalanche
I've always preferred this to Mean Bean Machine. I suppose it's just becasue I'm a Kirby fan.
Me and my Mum spent hours and hours on this game!
Re: Ecco: The Tides of Time
Brilliant game, and improves on everything that was in the original.
Re: US VC Releases - 18th June - Bloody Wolf
It won't be an extra month for Brawl, it'll be an extra 6 months
NOE FTL.
Re: Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
I've had enough of waiting, should I just go ahead and download it? I don't mind the slowness to be honest, as long as it's not stupidly slow..
Re: Bloody Wolf
Hang on, this is a good game? I thought this was another one of those 2* TG games until just now >.<
Actually looks ok, but I doubt I'll download it.
Re: US VC Releases - 18th June - Bloody Wolf
Hahaha, you Americanos are very unlucky this week
Re: Silent Debuggers
"Think 'Doom' but on a console that was not capable of doing 3D!
"
So.. does that mean it's good or bad?
It looks alright..
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Definitely the best one in the series. I'm gonna have to restrain myself from downloading while reminding myself about Mega Collection!
Re: Donkey Kong
I doubt we'll see DK64 until the end of the year. I'm just waiting for DKC 3 to come out at the moment.
It's good they put this in it too, this game is over-priced at 500 points.
Re: Ecco: The Tides of Time
Can't wait for this game. Much much better than the original in my opinion, and well worth the 800 points.
Re: US VC Releases - 28th May - Actraiser
arioman64 (USA) - 28 May 2007, 21:59 GMT
what do you mean "great week last week"?
Oh, only Streets of Rage 2 and Donkey Kong Country 2. If you call those bad then you must have something wrong somewhere up there 0.0
Re: Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Hopefully we'll get this on 1st June with the Megadrive update, this and streets of rage 2 would be the best update ever!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - June
I hope we get Ecco the Dolphin 2 pretty soon, it's even better than the first one
Re: US VC Releases - 28th May - Actraiser
I guess you were bound to get a bad week after your great week last week...
I just hope we get ourselves SoR2 for Thursday night, then I'll be happy for a while
Re: Super Mario Bros. 2
I've hesitated about downloading, but I probably will soon.
Re: Europe VC Releases - 16th May - DK Surprise!
XD Thank god I downloded DKC2 yesterday LOL
Silly Nintendo
Re: Final Fight
Brilliant, much better than I expected. Such a shame there's no multiplayer though, they could have added the feature on...
Re: Golden Axe II
Final Fight and Streets of Rage are both much beter than Golden Axe, so there's no way this one can be worth it if it's not as good as the first one...
Re: Streets of Rage 2
I hope we get it next Friday =(
It's became my most wanted VC game now...
Re: Bomberman '93
Downloading it tonight or tomorrow night! Only ever played the Ware bomberman game "Wario Blast" on the Gameoy, so I'm quite positive about this one!
Re: Space Harrier II
If the first was better why didn't they just put that on? I've never played that before...
Re: Virtual Console Forum
Awesome! I'm gonna post LOADS there =D
Re: Beyond Oasis
I'm strongly considering the download now. I have 6000 Wii points at the moment, which I want to last about 4 months. I also want a game that's a lot of fun to play but not TOO in depth.

Re: Donkey Kong Jr. Math
1*? It must be terrible then!
It really annoys me when they could be releasing classics and they release these piles of crap instead!
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Possibly the best Sonic game ever, this one took the brilliance of the first one, and made it better! I would be downloading it if it were not for the fact I already have it on Mega Collection.
If you've never played it before, download it NOW! (or when it comes out )

Yay! I only played SOR for the first time when it came on to the VC, and I heard part 2 is meant to be a lot better. Another game to look forward too! =D
Re: ActRaiser
I really dunno what to expect from this. Maybe I should just play safe and download something else tonight...
Re: Space Harrier II
I'm considering downloading, dunno why though. I just love it for some reason!
Re: Opera Browser Available NOW
I'm not too excited because I have problems typing on the Wii, but its still good news nevertheless!
Re: The Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Do I download this tonight, or get super mario 64 again? I have mario on n64, and DS, but I want it on VC too, the DS ones different!
This game looks good, but I'm really not sure what to expect, so I'm nervous about downloading. What should I do?
