Yeah, this is why April Fools is hated these days. Because people decide to shake things up so you can't trust news up to a week before the ACTUAL April fools.
Apparently, the game wasn't actually translated just for this VC release... A friend of mine who has the original cartridge discovered an English-menus option waiting for him upon completing the game once. The VC edition just has this turned on from the get-go. Not that I'm complaining!
The Classic Controller kinda makes this game odd... Gotta see if it works with the Gamecube pad once I get my Wavebird. The main problem is its reliance on the shoulder buttons in either of the three control configurations. For the CC, the least awkward control configuration - the one that doesn't necessitate using the L button as the shoot button - is configuration 3. Configuration 2 is pretty decent, too, since it doesn't make you use the R button as the jump button.
I guess the 100 extra points is what we pay for actually getting to play Ninja Gaiden at 60hz speeds instead of the squashed-screen, 50hz Shadow Warrior.

Re: EU VC Releases - 12th October - Super Metroid
Same question as richufc. I've got the original PAL SNES cart, but I'd download this if it was the proper speed.

Re: Europe VC Releases - 23rd March - Zelda Link to the Past (Finally!)
Got the cart, got the GBA game. Otherwise, this would've rocked.
Re: Beyond Oasis
I might get it once it's out in Europe. IF Sega starts doing the right freakin' thing and letting me play it fullscreen at the correct speed.
