I agree that the N64 Zelda's were better than the SNES ones but World 1 and 2 were way better than Mario 64 imo. Galaxy on the other hand... Oh well, to each his/her own.
@Drake: Oh ok. I just wondered if maybe they might've been releasing that. Maybe Hanabi? I hope it is the arcade version though. It looks promising with all those other titles being up.
They didn't release the DS games here either which is a shame. I don't think we should get our hopes up. I'm on the DS browser too. Gotta say I'm liking my DSi. Hey, I see you've gone back to your old avatar Corbie.
@chunky_droid: Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice that.
@maniac: Zelda II is great! I think it's a lot better than the original one. I still haven't finished either though... Stuck in Zelda II at the bit where ye go down the hole near the kings tomb.
I got one for Christmas too. I almost cried when I didn't win one on that Saturday show on BBC1. Parallel 9 or something it was called. I waited a whole week too. Lol.
A lot of people are asking if this is the N64 rom or the GCN one and no one seems to be answering them. I'd like to know myself because I never noticed anything wrong with the GCN one apart from the music skipping in between areas when it was loading from the disc. I did notice a little skip when goin from the centre of Clock Town to North Clock Town while playing the VC version though so could someone clear this up?
Hey guy's! I'm here on my DSi. It's great! Although I'm a little disappointed we don't have the little animation tool... Warioware is great though. Making yourself look like a tool is fun!
The best shooter I've played. Treasure really know how to take a certain genre and make it feel fresh and exciting. Ikaruga deserves a 10. I couldn't believe it when I found it selling for £20. I'd been looking for it for ages and there it was dirt cheap. I still have my GCN copy but I downloaded the XBLA version so it doesn't get played much now.
I love Galaga so I downloaded this. I like it but wish they'd put Galaga or Galaga 88 up instead. On a side-note I beat the high score! I know, I suck lol.
Incidentally, does anyone know how the release schedule works for arcade games? Are they just going to be factored into the VC releases from now on? I only ask because of how they turned up out of the blue on a non-release day here in Europe. Oh and imo TMNT is a terrible game.
I remember being hooked on the Willow arcade at my local video shop. No chance we'd get that though. It was Capcom wasn't it? I'd forgotten about that game. I just looked it up on youtube. Hearing the music again almost brought a tear to my eye...
It was a good review. I'm just sore because the US have Gradius and I was expecting it this week... again. But with the addition of arcade to the shop I really have nothing to complain about I suppose. Still though...
I like the 3d Mario games but never could get into Banjo. Anyway I'm getting off-topic. Here's hoping for loads of old-school Sega arcade stuff. Any chance the Wii could handle Radiant Silvergun or am I just thinking crazy?

Re: Dan Aykroyd is Loving His Wii-based Alter-ego
I thought this sounded like marketing spiel too. I don't think I'll buy any version of this.
Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS)
Never liked GTA so I won't be bothering with this one either.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy IV (DS)
What are you talking about? This is one of the best looking games on the DS. The 3D models look great!
Re: Nintendo Download: Bubble Bobble Plus! & More WiiWare Goodies (EU)
I'm not gonna cry for Gradius since I just downloaded Bubble Bobble and it's ace. But next time Nintendo, please...
Re: The N64 and Nintendo’s Fall From Grace

@chris davis: We all do mate... we all do.
Re: Review: Fatal Frame IV (Wii)
I need a new survival horror now that Resident Evil has gone all 'action'. I don't like it now. Hope this game comes to Europe.
Re: Review: Trace Memory: R, Gateway of Memory (Wii)
Can you tell us how long it is? Another Code was great but very short.

Re: Konami: VC Arcade Support and WiiWare Life Force
Wasn't there a Life Force on TG-16?
Re: Dunaway: No E3 Snowboarding This Time
Show some real games this time please. Hopefully there's news of the new Wii Zelda.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Announces April-July WiiWare / DSiWare Lineup
Cave Story is the only one I'm interested in here.
Is there any news of a DSi VC yet?

Re: Tales Of Graces Unveiled for Wii
Did Symphonia 2 come out in America? Never seen in it Europe.
Re: Tales Of Graces Unveiled for Wii

Re: WiiWare Versions of Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands Coming to Europe Soon
This is why I saved some Wii points. Bring on Friday!
Re: Review: Pyoro (DSiWare)
This is the only one that I downloaded that I like. Paper Plane is ok but Warioware Snapped is a bit poo... I wish I'd gotten Artstyle Atique instead.
Re: Mappy
Downloaded this. Love it. More please.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The music still skips between areas in Clocktown a little. Or did it do that on the N64 version? What effects were missing in the GCN port?
Re: Nintendo Download: DSiWare Launch Games and Majora's Mask (EU)
Hey guy's! I'm here on my DSi. It's great! Although I'm a little disappointed we don't have the little animation tool... Warioware is great though. Making yourself look like a tool is fun!
Re: April Fool Jokes – The Dust Settles

Re: The End Of The World Starts In Europe
Eek! I need some points! Why did I download Neutopia?! Must get some tomorrow when I pick up my DSi...
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS) Announcement Trailer
This'll be awesome. Phantom Hourglass was brilliant. I love Toon Link.
Re: Review: Ikaruga (GCN)

Re: Infinite Space clears for launch in Japan
Sci-fi dorks ftw!
Re: US DSiWare "Launch" Titles Confirmed
I can't wait for the animation thing. That's pretty great!
Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!
I like the new site too. You's obviously worked hard on it and it's appreciated. Thumbs up!
Re: Review: Gaplus (Arcade)
I love Galaga so I downloaded this. I like it but wish they'd put Galaga or Galaga 88 up instead.
On a side-note I beat the high score! I know, I suck lol.
Re: XSEED Games Announces Drill Sergeant Mindstrong for WiiWare
Hmm... just a game, or some elaborate mind control device?
Re: Ten Arcade Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console Arcade
DK Junior for sure. I can't play the VC NES version on my new TV. Stupid 50hz...

Re: Ten Arcade Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console Arcade
Outrun, Space Harrier, Segasonic, Willow, Aterburner, Radiant Silvergun...
Re: Ten Arcade Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console Arcade

Re: Gradius ReBirth
More to the point, why isn't this released in Europe yet?!?!?!?
Re: Review: Gradius ReBirth (WiiWare)
@Corbie: That game does look fun. Is it out in Europe I wonder...
Re: Review: Texas Hold'em Tournament (WiiWare)
Fail! That's what you get for not being GRADIUS!!!
Re: 1000 Free Nintendo Points to EU Customers
Free points! Thanks Ninty! I think I'll wait for the GB games though once I've collected them. Warioware does look fun though...
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Texas Hold'em Tournament
I dont want to play games like Sudoku and poker. I want me some proper games.
Re: Pyoro
I loved Pyoro on the first Warioware game. I sold that and now regret it so this will be welcome.
Re: Art Style: Azurio
The screenshots remind me of Yars Revenge lol.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Texas Hold'em Tournament
No Gradius... where is Gradius... looking for Gradius... don't see Gradius...
Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!
I spent over 2 hours last night downloading all my VC games to a new 2gb SD card. I've had no problems.
Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!
I like the 3d Mario games but never could get into Banjo. Anyway I'm getting off-topic.
Here's hoping for loads of old-school Sega arcade stuff.
Any chance the Wii could handle Radiant Silvergun or am I just thinking crazy?
