I've already got mine pre-ordered at GAME. They give you 75 quid off if you trade in you Lite the week before launch. At least that's what the sales assistant said. Yikes is that this week?
Why cant I display this game on my HDTV? I've tried the supposed solution that switches to non-interlaced mode or whatever and it doesn't work. Sort it out Nintendo! Every day it's something else...
A 3?! I always wanted this back in the day but now... Well I'm glad I didn't get to since for a game back then I'd had to have saved up 4 weeks pocket money. I'm a bit disappointed.
The Wii version has updated visuals too though... if that's a plus or negative to ye I wouldn't know. I'm looking forward to this game, not having played it myself.
Downloaded this yesterday and have to say I'm disappointed. Not as good as I was led to believe. The guy's at ONM went mad over it too. Must just be me.
Is the pal version of this game really slow like Gradius was? I wish Nintendo would listen to us for once and release the 60hz versions of these games in Europe... sigh.
@MaxPlastic: Yes Nintendo are re-releasing the 2 Pikmin games with added Wii controls but they are also working on Pikmin 3. This was officially announced at E3. Also, the Wii is more graphically powerful than a Gamecube.
Shame America didn't get Onslaught. I was lookin forward to playin Co-op with my mate from Canada. Edit: All this talk about core games is ridiculous. a game is a game and it's either fun or ot isn't. Some of the criteria that people think makes a game hardcore, (blood, guts and bad language), I find to be pretty immature. Give me a good shmup any day.
I like this game. There's just one thing though. There's no option to change the colour schemes for people like me who are colour-blind. So it gets a 7 from me. It gets a 9 based on gameplay but that fault brings it down for me.
Bah, now you guy's get to play the best NES game without slow-down or borders. I hate pal. Wish mine would play like that. Also, Super Mario Bros. on the Wii looks terrible. Is there no chance whatsoever of Nintendo fixing these games for Eu then?
Japanese/European Sonic CD is a must. As is Majora's Mask for me. Also I really hope they can get Saturn games up some day but I highly doubt it. Just imagine playing NiGHTS into dreams on my Wii... awesome...
I don't see the point in downloading this when I already have Brawl... I'm all for the nostalgia but this series hasn't moved forward very much since the original so Brawl is really the same game with bells and whistles..
I got a PS3 for games like HD remix and SF4. I went to download HD remix last night and guess what. It's been delayed for PS3. Nice to see Sony Europe is as useless as NOE... Their choice of Playstation classics up for download makes me wonder if there's a monkey at the helm...

Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!
@stuffgamer: I've been thinking of getting rid of it for a while now and I'm really more into older games. Banjo really isn't that great anyway imo.
Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!
GASP! Downloading arcade games asap. Hope we get Outrun and Space Harrier. Arcade games on VC? Take that Microsoft. Defo selling my 360 now.
Re: Review: Detana!! Twinbee (TG-16)
Bring it on! This'll probably be Hanabi here in Europe.

Re: Rejoice! The DSi Gets a Virtual Console After All
Wonder if we'll ever see Neo Geo Pocket on the service. They seem to have given up on Neo Geo on VC... I'd love to get Sonic Pocket Adventure.
Re: Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Comes to DSiWare!
Bah! That's not Katamari... Had me going there.
Re: Wonder Boy in Monster World
Well I found a solution. I had to download The Dynastic Hero... I prefer Wonder Boy but needs must...

Re: Nnooo Interview - Pop Plus: Solo
Didn't like pop on the Wii so don't think I'll be getting the DSi one.

Re: Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
Majora's Mask is the definition of essential! How darest thou sir/madam.
Re: Cave Story Development Nearing Completion
The Wii version has updated visuals too though... if that's a plus or negative to ye I wouldn't know.
I'm looking forward to this game, not having played it myself.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Gradius Rebirth
Great guys. Now here's hoping we get it next update...
Re: test
Hee haw.
Re: First Screens of Adventure Island: The Beginning Revealed
I love New Adventure Island. It's one of my favourite VC games, so this looks like a must-buy.
Re: Review: Life Force (NES)
Yes, give us our Life Force.
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Found em. Thanks for the help...

Re: Review: Winter Games (C64)
Pass... Aside from Last Ninja, there hasn't been a C64 game I'd want. Bring out Flimbo's Quest already...
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
The crates like the ones with ammo in right? In the underground hive? I cannot find them. Bah.
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Er... hello? Feeling a little invisible here...
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Where exactly are those upgrades in level 3? I just get ammo...

Cool! Love Mr Driller!
Re: USA VC Update: Life Force
Is the pal version of this game really slow like Gradius was? I wish Nintendo would listen to us for once and release the 60hz versions of these games in Europe... sigh.
Re: Life Force
You lucky buggers!
Re: Rumour: EarthBound Not Coming to Virtual Console
Well that's a kick in the teeth...

Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Oh man! I can't wait to get some points! I wasn't interested until I heard it was score-based and like an arcade game.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: LIT
Since when was 7 out of 10 a bad score??
Anyway think I'll pass on this. Doesn't look interesting to me. Also, where the heck is Gradius?!
Re: Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
Oh. It's a port of an arcade game right? I might give it a go if it comes to europe.
Re: Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
Is it as good as Miracle World?
Re: Want Toki Tori Merchandise? Speak Up Now!
No. I think it'd be a waste of their money. Although I did enjoy the game, I personally wouldn't buy this.
Re: Review: Art Style: Cubello (WiiWare)
I like this game. There's just one thing though. There's no option to change the colour schemes for people like me who are colour-blind. So it gets a 7 from me. It gets a 9 based on gameplay but that fault brings it down for me.
Re: MUSHA
WHAT???!! That's an outrage! If this runs in 50hz then I am no way downloading it.
Re: Review: Cue Sports: Snooker Vs Billiards (WiiWare)
Might get this. Didnt want midnight pool because it had a sleazy feel to it.
Re: USA VC Update: Castlevania III
Yeah I have component cables for my Wii and a 32'' HD TV. The games look good but the nes ones look awful. Some of the MD ones don't even work!
Re: Review: Planet Pachinko (WiiWare)
Another Wiiware game that ISN'T Gradius! WHERE THE HECK IS MY GRADIUS!!>?!?!¬
Re: USA VC Update: Castlevania III

Re: USA VC Update: Kirby's Dream Land 3
What is this tripe? Where's my Gradius?!
Re: Super Smash Bros.
I don't see the point in downloading this when I already have Brawl... I'm all for the nostalgia but this series hasn't moved forward very much since the original so Brawl is really the same game with bells and whistles..
Re: EU VC Update: Last Ninja 3, Impossible Mission II and Boogerman
Secret of Mana. WHERE IS MY SECRET OF MANA?! grumble grumble...
Re: Capcom: No Street Fighter II HD or Bionic Commando Rearmed for WiiWare
I got a PS3 for games like HD remix and SF4. I went to download HD remix last night and guess what. It's been delayed for PS3. Nice to see Sony Europe is as useless as NOE... Their choice of Playstation classics up for download makes me wonder if there's a monkey at the helm...
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - December 2008
Would prefer the PCE version of Life force too. And no N64 game again? Things are slowing down a bit...
Re: Virtual Console Reviews is Two Today!
I was staring at that cake pic wondering what kind of fake Wii console thingy it was when it dawned on me it was a cake... d'oh!
Re: Hori Announces New Classic Controller For Japan
I wish Nintendo would make a wireless GCN controller for Wii. Does this thing have rumble I wonder...
