Great you think Dig Dug is a classic, I don't! If you cared to read any of my earlier posts, I said that I think Donkey Kong 3 is not a classic game. I was basically saying that the Donkey Kong series as a whole is a classic. I would consider games like Castlevania or Mega Man 2 to be classic games before I would consider Dig Dug one.

And here is pure stupidity by Nintendo. They had a chance to get Goldeneye, plus other Rare classics but they said no because they didn't want the 360 to have them. So now Microsoft remakes Banjo-Kazooie slightly and bam they get the game for Xbox Live and Nintendo doesn't get squat for the VC. Way to take care of your customers Nintendo!

@Jogurt the Yogurt
The Donkey Kong series however is a classic, even though Donkey Kong 3 is not. Maybe some people actually like the game.

And besides, you said Dig Dug was a classic a couple of weeks back and I think that there isn't anything special about that game. It's good, but certainly isn't a classic.

Okay dude, let me clarify my comment. I meant that the Donkey Kong series is a classic, but this game is pretty average. Heh, every game series has a dark sheep, and Donkey Kong 3 is the dark sheep for the classic NES Donkey Kong games. Oh yeah, I would consider buying Ninja Commando before Donkey Kong 3, but neither really interests me.

I'm just more upbeat this week because at least we got 2 games. Those 1 game VC weeks blew chunks!

By the way, nice to see you Rexy!

@Rexy
You had better not even think of not posting anymore. You do have very intelligent responses and I congradulate you for keeping such a postive attitude during some of these bleak VC release weeks. Of course most of my complaining is not directed at the games themselves (although sometimes it seems that way), but rather at the amount of games we have been getting. Some of the NeoGeo games do look interesting, but I still think Nintendo releasing 1 game every week blows chunks!

Besides Rexy, I always find it pretty cool when a female likes video games.

@DEMON212
I actually got one more post. I agree with Rexy's comment on Post #89. She said that it's really sad that people boycott the VC because the games haven't been as good. Now that really is sad. Just as sad as people who say they won't download games because of the storage space issue. Believe me, the Wii does have a small memory storage, but using an SD card isn't that big of a deal.

You know what I would love on Monday; one of the classic TMNT games.

@DEMON212
Dude, I wasn't whining before. Personally, I don't care if Europe gets games at all, as long as America still gets them. If people in Europe love Neo Geo games so much they can have them, just give America NES, SNES, and N64 games instead. I understand Nintendo's logic releasing the crap games so far in 2008, but I don't have to like it either.

That's fine dude, stay out of our topic on Monday, I'm sure most Americans will miss you. (sarcastic laugh)

Re: EU VC Releases - 11th July - Neo Geo Duo

@Rexy
What does being a female matter? All I ask is on Monday when we get our garbage Neo Geo game, just don't tell us not to complain or be disappointed either. I just wish the Neo Geo would go away!

Re: EU VC Releases - 11th July - Neo Geo Duo

Mike1

@Rexy
You shouldn't say this is a bad week, especially since you tell Americans every Monday that we shouldn't complain over our releases.

It's funny how a lot of people in Europe get a bad update and all of a sudden they complain just like America. And yet the people from Europe say we are whiners.

However, both America and Europe can camplain because Japan has 339 games and we have 234.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Mike1

I'd give it four out of five stars. The game is very difficult and the game itself isn't perfect, but I like the game. It's funny about how many people complain that this game is so tough. This was how many games were back in the NES era. Mega Man, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, even Super Mario Bros. were harder than most games made today. I'm wondering if all of the people complaining of the difficulty are 15 year olds.

"TMNT doesn't suck THAT hard. I guess most of you guys never read AVGNs FAQ where he admits he exaggerates his criticism a bit of most of the games he bashes, as he focuses on what's really bad about a game. TMNT ain't no classic, but it definetly is NOT a ... game. But I guess that's just one man's opinion."

I agree with you completely.

Re: US VC Release - 7th July - King of the Monsters

@Rexy

I'm sick of every week when America gets their garbage "game", you come onto this site with your holier than thou attitude and basically say that Americans have no right to complain over the trash that Nintendo has chosen to give us in 2008. You make it sound like every American are spoiled brats waiting for Earthbound and SMRPG. No, we are complaing because we get 1 lousy game a week!

Here is an idea. If you don't like how Americans complain every week, stay out of the topic that announces the VC releases for America each week.

Re: US VC Release - 7th July - King of the Monsters

Mike1

More garbage again this week. And this game is garbage since it got only 2 stars. I'm so sick of the NeoGeo. Give us more Nintendo and Sega games. And since the TG-16 has 3 games already announced for this month, that's probably all we're getting in July, those 3 games! Why give us only 1 game?

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

Mike1

How about this folks. If you don't like a certain game that is released that is okay, it's your opinion to complain about. Just like if someone else likes that game, it's their option to say how great it is.

Look at the whole picture of things guys. Since Monday there have been over 217 comments talking about the VC release. Everyone is right to have their own opinion. Nintendo has certainly created such an awesome system, that all everyone wants to do is talk about it for days.

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

Mike1

I wish WiiWare would take a week off just for one week in America (unless Mega Man 9 would come out). Then Nintendo could give us 3 or 4 games just like Europe. I kinda wish we had their schedule.

And to those people in Europe that are convinced of Nintendo's new release schedule of releasing 5 games every 2 weeks, beware Nintendo is very unpredictable and they could change it at any moment.

@Virus.
Unless NA gets 200+ VC games next week you lot will still whinge like lil brats. Hell, if one of those 200 isn't SMRPG... "We got Banjo, PD, Conker, Pokemon Blue & Red for the new 200 point GB range, etc... BUT THIS RELEASE SUCKS BECAUSE OF NO SMRPG! I HAVEN'T BOUGHT A VC GAME SINCE NOVEMBER 1982!".

You make it seem like all of Americans are crybaby's, but when you guys get no VC games everybody from Europe will be crying that it's not fair!

"Which A. Doesn't help your cause and B. Puts people off this place. I know many forums goers whom never come here anymore because of what it's become."

If people leave these boards because people complain then I say good riddence to them. These boards have more people on them than 6 months ago and if those people don't like complaining every week then they need to get a reality check. What do they think people do on message boards? They talk about video games, and yes, complaining is part of that.

On another note, I bet this topic has the most comments posted than almost any other topic.

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

I don't know why people say that Majora's Mask on the Collector's Edition is so bad. I do notice there are some sound skips, but the game has much cleaner visuals. People say the game crashes to them all the time, but I've beaten the game on the Collector's Edition disk 3 times and I think it maybe crashed only once. Hey, that's not bad at all since the disk was free to begin with.

"The more comments I read, the more I laugh. All I can say is, long may these releases continue. Because NA truly does deserve it. Because I think the way that you're acting, is like 8 year old spoilt brats. You've always gotten what you want, when you wanted it, and now you're not. So now you act like this. You all complaon that we're getting 5 games, but why? None of them have been Nintendo games, so would anyone have actually bought them?
You complain about the C64, but you also complain that more consoles reduce releases, so again, why do you want it? You're in chaos. You're arguments have no real direction or meaning. And the only thing you all seem to agree on, is that you're pissed because we PAL gamers are finally getting something good."

Sure, you may laugh now, but when Europe gets no games this week, I'll laugh at all the crybaby's from Europe complaining that it isn't fair they didn't get any VC games.

@88. PoisonRamune

I agree with everything you said. I don't know why Nintendo had to shut up the leak. What's the big secret? Does Nintendo actually think that will help VC sales. Nintendo probably hired a bunch of detectives in order to find the leaker, so that what their garbage releases are kept secret until Monday.

@Mike:
"A lot of these games that we call crap, that you refer to as a 'good game', weren't very popular back on their original releases. And why weren't they very popular? Because the majority of people considered them to be CRAP. "
A lot of that quote actually was retarded. I know they were angry at that, but they're rejecting the fact that people only got into games because they were popular, and that has always been the case. I'm assuming he's one of many that didn't get Earthbound either - a great example of a great game that didn't get popular enough on release, and yet is one of the most requested games for the VC right about now.
So, to the guy who wants to share frustrations against peoples' more positive opinions about the so-called "underdogs", we have rights to opinions, and being told not to appreciate the underpriviledged isn't a wise move now, isn't it?

Maybe you think that that comment I posted from Gamefaqs is retarded, but a lot of other people agree with it. Besides, you live in Europe where lately you guys have been getting a ton of games.

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

"People need to stop buying these games. Then Nintendo will say, "OMG We're not making money!" Then maybe we'll see the high quality titles."

Hell yeah! The funny thing is the people that say on Monday to try new games every week are the same people saying on Tuesday that nothing ever good comes out. Even though I owned an N64 and Gamecube, a lot of people didn't. Back then Nintendo wished people would buy their systems and software. Now that people are buying the Wii they go back to their arrogant days of the NES. Beware Nintendo. I will always support you, but others might get so tired of these garbage VC releases that you might turn people off.

Re: US VC Release - 30th June - Fatal Fury 2

I saw this comment on the Gamefaqs message board:

"I see a lot of people on here, week after week, who are disappointed when Nintendo releases crap games on the Virtual Channel. They speak their mind about how unintriguied they are, only to be bashed by people saying "Why can't you just be happy?", or "Stop *****ing, that really is a good game!" Well, I'm tired of that BS. Let me tell you, as one of the people who has been frustrated and downright disappointed with Nintendo for the last 4 weeks, atleast, I can tell you why we are. A lot of these games that we call crap, that you refer to as a 'good game', weren't very popular back on their original releases. And why weren't they very popular? Because the majority of people considered them to be CRAP. Why would that consideration be any different nowadays? Simple, it's not going to be. Games didn't get popular back then because they were 'cool graphical pieces of art', that's for damn sure. They got popular because people liked them, they thought they were a lot of fun to play, and then word of mouth got more and more people playing it. Let's face it, the games that Nintendo have been releasing aren't nearly what people had hoped for, so of course they're going to be disappointed. There are TONS of GREAT, RECOGNIZED games for Nintendo to still be releasing, which now may never see the light of day again at the rate they're going. So stop pissing and moaning about the people who don't like what they see on the Wiikly release, not everybody likes the same crappy games that you do, and they have a right to say so..."

I posted this quote because that is how myself and many others on this board feel right now with the VC.

Yet again, you've just called the week garbage because one game came out. Please try it before you call it garbage

Dude, look at the other comments on this page. Maybe the game is good, but I'm not the only one who thinks this week blows. This week is garbage because every NeoGeo game is coming out on the SNK Collection. Give us Nintendo games!

Well, I'm not probably going to buy anything this week on VC, but I can sure say this year's VC releases during summer are better than last year's most of the time. Looking back, we got Bloody Wolf, NES Tournament Golf Open (or whatever its name is), and World Sports Competition. I wouldn't say last year's releases are necessarily stellar considering many regard this Alex Kidd as awesome. But, alas, though I haven't been wishing for a certain game, I do hope Nintendo starts using a system to release games so people will stop whining about lack of games or too many.

"You have got to be kidding! You couldn't be more wrong. Last year's releases were fantastic, but this year's games have been terrible."

Re: EU VC Releases - 20th June - Epic Fail

Mike1

"Europe is still two games behind America. Although considering the time difference of the Virtual Console starting in both countries thats not bad going."

As of 6/21, America has 230 and Europe has 227. That's 3 games unless you are counting SMB:LL.

Re: EU VC Releases - 20th June - Epic Fail

Mike1

I can see why other Americans are saying that Europe should stop complaining. They got 5 games last week and while getting none this week sucks, they did still get 5 last week. And last week was a crappy week for the US.

Re: US VC Release - 16th June - Samurai Shodown

"Forget 3-4 games a week... why aren't we getting 100 games per week? Better yet, how about every C64, SMS, NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, 32X, Sega-CD, TG-16, TG-CD, and Neo-Geo game ever released—tomorrow at noon! If Nintendo doesn't give us that I'll cry in my soup and never buy anything ever again."

I'd sign up for that, LOL!

"Wow Nintendo, what do you have against us Europeans?! Not content with America having seven (7) more WiiWare games than us, you had to go and give them yet another two! Even if the new games perhaps aren't of the most stunning quality, North America, nevertheless, now has a grand total of nine (9) more WiiWare games than our lot! Was it something we said?!"

Don't even go there; you guys got 5 VC games last week while we got 1!
