No news on this in a while now

@BestBuck15 my story is similar to yours, except my mum had bought me a game boy from America almost a year earlier.. Getting the NES was special. Sold it with 3 games, including Mario 3 for £65, so I could get the SNES in April '92. My younger cousins got an NES in the late 80's, but there's was the 'Mattel version' which was written on the console... A licensing issue.. Soon after they changed it to NES version. So you weren't naïve, there were other versions 😊

@MitchVogel
It was similar but with a different 'viewpoint!'

Less 3D and more traditional but with an isometric, diagonal graphical style. The music on the neo geo game sounds much better, but overall not that different

@RadioShadow Neo Geo got over the 4th problem, but not the 3rd!

Used to love this as a nipper

Domo arigato gezimasta Iwata-san

Wow

@Merchoid-Simon ah.. That's great news. I've had some bad experiences buying from Japan.. And recently got charged £40 for a set of headphones orded from the US. Was just concerned by the dollar sign when i went to pre-order. Amazing robe by the way!

@MrHeli here in the UK they like to seize things from US/Japan and charge you lots of money

On the website it says $79.99...that's £51 at the current exchange rate.. Also, customs may have something to say about that

Can't wait!

Anyone know what time the games generally appear? Oitrun still not available on eshop

Yes! Wow.. Can't wait to download this beauty. Will be checking tonight and if not, first thing tomorrow

@Ristar42 thans! I was thinking of getting a Saturn for that reason a whole back. Maybe when I have more room in my little flat. Already cramped with a Neo geo CD. Wii, wii U and SNES under my plasma! Maybe the 3DS version will make me want to get it again!

Since that fateful day in San Antonio, ibiza 1987, I've been waiting for arcade perfect outrun.. Now I've got this.. Less than a week away

Nice KOG t-shirt, Eiji.

Great game

Demon's Crest and Axelay pour moi.. Might get Afterburner II for nostalgia. Already got Axelay on Wii. I think I managed to get it off of the Australian VC back in '09 or thereabouts

Bugger. Just shelled out for shovel knight 🙀

Anyone know when this is due a PAL release?

Need to start playing this one more. Would have loved to have had a NES Gargoyle's Quest back in the day!

Can't wait for 13th December for the EU release, even though I have the cart

Pre-ordered 😊

@sdelfin how have you not played Castlevania 4 yet!?!

I think the amount of comments on this page goes to show. The SNES is simply the best gaming platform the work has ever seen. It's a no brainer...

👌nice article brother. So many memories with my SNES. Secret of Mana was a special one for me, Castlevania & Zelda too..not to mention SM4, F-Zero, Pilotwings... Goeman, Super G&G. Special console, special time

Ordered a few things from KOG. The first two items were received in a matter of days. Since then everything I ordered was seized by customs, and I've had to pay up to £82 tax and duty on two sweaters, deayjng delivery by a week or two as well.

*Demon's Crest

@WanderFan91 I'm with you on that.. As the proud owner of a SNES with games like Demon's Quest & Yoshi's Island, a game boy micro famicom edition, original gameboy & a neo geo pocket color, I'm re-living the 90's again!
Hope you got/get your wii back up and running.. I have about 100+ VC games I've downloaded over the years..but nothing beats the real thing!

@WanderFan91 why haven't you used VC in years? Whilst I'd live to own each game and system, it's a little easier (and cheaper) to download them on VC...

Awesome

@Damo of course! Herzog Zwei! Never saw Herzog Eins, though 😜

Mega man on MD looks, sounds,and seems to play very nice indeed!

Great list.. A lot of Amiga games on there, too! I voted Bloodlines, but would love to see Hellfire. Remember reading about it when it was released in here:

Would have liked to have seen Castle of Illusion on Wii, more out of nostalgia than anything else.

Great videos @shiryu.

Now all we need is Super Mario Bros. 5 😌

Congrats Damo!

Just down the road from me....damn, missed meeting Bill Oddie

Ditto all the other positive comments re COI & DT...3DS owners rejoice (hopefully)

Finally...had to buy the the psp collection to tide me over.

I don't think HMV are in a great place financially, either

@Mully
What didn't you like about GQ?

@jcarlospc
Your English is spot on! For more than one instance of joystick breaking, I can't think of a better phrase. Only, broken joysticks could sound slightly more native. You're right about this game though. Brutal! Nice to have MM on the 3DS, though.

@Wolfenstein83
Damn right we need Demon's Crest on VC..I'll probably end up buying the original cartridge though..

Love the music on GQ..takes me back to 1991

Wow..can see me getting into this..It's been a while...

THE game I'm waiting for on VC... Swapped it along with around 15 other games and my SNES back in the day, for a....... JAGUAR.....oh dear

i bought my first game aside from VC, for a while, last week..Ikaruga for gamecube

yeah..I think I'll give that game a miss this week 'cos of the general election..what a crock

Got mario kart and axelay two classics... The battle mode on mario is worth the points alone!
