Yes. I'm allowed to like retro stuff too... Plus you could look at it from the perspective that releasing sequels to old games is, in it's own way, an original idea. Perhaps I phrased it wrong. I should've said I want to see a bit more diversity.
Nah I dont want any more puzzlers. I hope developers start pushing more original idea's on Wiiware. The next game I want is Gradius Rebirth but I don't see much beyond that at present.
Yeah I noticed those yellow borders too. I didn't realise they weren't in the original though. Haven't played in years. Is anyone else gettin crazy mad at that snot dude? He keeps pwnin me in his 3rd level.
4 hours is a bit short... I felt a bit cheated by the length of Lost Winds. Don't get me wrong, I loved playing through it, it was awesome, but it could've had more replay value. So I dunno, I might get this if it has replay value.
The only game that really suffers imo is Sonic 1 on the Megadrive. The other games I don't really notice the change in speed. Even Sonic 2 isnt bad. Does anyone know if it's possible Sega will release Sonic CD on the VC? Sorry to go off topic...
Hmm... another new version of the DS. I might consider getting this if they do a fair trade-in deal at my local GAME. However I can't help but feel a little cheated again.
Ooh! More stuff like this please! Simple and innovative. Maybe could've spruced up the menu's and stuff a bit. Online leaderboards would indeed be good too but still, I'm watching this one.
I used the tornado weapon on the dragon. It blows out his fire. Do we have a page in the forums to list the weapons effectiveness in the game?
@ TopHatPangolin: Multi-player megaman games... I discovered a soccer game featuring Megaman and some of the boss characters on youtube last night. I know it's not what you meant but it looks fun. Like Mario Strikers but with Megaman.
Great! Will pick it up when I trade in Samba. Pity I didn't know how crap it was before-hand, then I could've saved money and gotten Wario land first off. Anyway there is 1 silver lining and that's that I have Megaman 9 sitting pretty in my Wii channels.
Wish I'd gotten Shake it now too. But I've wanted to try Samba since the Dreamcast days and was really looking forward to it. I'm going to take it back tomorrow and do a trade for Wario
Megaman 9 is great, although I suck at it. It's way harder than Megaman 2. On a side-note, anyone thinking of buying Samba De Amigo for the Wii, don't bother. The controls are terrible. Just a wee warning.
Good update. Already downloaded Bomberman and picked up Ys too. Bomberman is awesome but the other 2 dont really interest me. Here's hoping America gets these on Monday so I can play my friend from Canada online.
I too like this game. I loved to play it through to the end as a kid and I still like to give it a run-through now and again. 4 stars imo. -I didn't know the USA version had different title music! Just heard it in the video.
Just downloaded SMRPG because of all the hype you guys gave it. I'm enjoying it so far. But I like Paper Mario so I expected to like it anyway. Hope it comes to America on Monday. Although I might add... where the heck is Sonic SMS? I wants it!!!! Oh and Earthbound next week please... man I'm hard to please.
I think I'll hold off on getting any shmups until Gradius Rebirth comes out. These games don't look like they'd hold my interest. Star Soldier R had me very excited til I found out it was only the caravan mode... boo Hudson.

Re: WiiWare Announcement Blowout - Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and More
Ooh Bubble Bobble. More retro goodness. Rainbow Islands too! Never got a chance to play that but have heard good things.

Does anyone know if it's possible Sega will release Sonic CD on the VC? Sorry to go off topic...
Re: Earthworm Jim
I actually prefer that it's the MD version. It's the version I played as a kid.
Re: The DSi – One Step Closer to a Portable Virtual Console?
Hmm... another new version of the DS. I might consider getting this if they do a fair trade-in deal at my local GAME. However I can't help but feel a little cheated again.
Re: WiiWare Games To Be Playable Directly From SD Cards
If it only lets you download them to SD then that is a load of crap. Seriously! I hope it does mean playing straight from the cards...

Re: Mega Man 9 - Proto Man Details Revealed
Oi! Lol yeah I was a bit lazy there. I think I'll get the time attack one.
Re: Mega Man 9 - Proto Man Details Revealed
Thanks man. I was worried my connection was poo.
Re: Mega Man 9 - Proto Man Details Revealed
Anyone else gettin an error message when theyv try to get downloadable content? Is it my connection being crap or is it not set up in Europe yet?
Re: Mega Man 9
Does anyone else get an error message when they try to go online to purchase downloadable content in this game?
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
Phantom: its one of those masks from Super Mario bros 2 I think. The ones that chase you when you lift a key.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
Yeah Mr. Cheez, the controls in Samba are terrible. I'm really disappointed.

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
Nah I think I'll get Wario. I meant to pick it up soon anyway. Is it good Corbie?
Oh yay my avatar changed. Thought it hadn't worked.

Re: Major League Eating Coming to Japan, With New Characters
Yeah we want MM9! This eating crap though, you can keep.
Re: Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie "Exclusively" on XBLA
I hated those games anyway. I found the humour a bit stomach turning tbh. I know, I'm weird...
Re: Review: Bomberman Blast (WiiWare)
Air raid is annoying. Some people just stand in the bottom corner and use their shield making it impossible to hit them if you're out.
Re: Comix Zone
I don't like it. Downloaded it and played for about 10 minutes.
For beat-em-up action I'd recommend Streets of Rage 2 instead.
Re: 1080 Snowboarding
Downloaded this and played it once. I dont like it.
Terranigma: Good choice with Blue Storm. It's a great game!
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog
OK I just know this is coming to VC tonight. I have 500 points saved. Bring it Sega!
Re: Capcom's Mega Man 9 Press Kit Goes Retro
Man, that is too cool! I'd love to own that.
Re: Review: Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint (WiiWare)
I just think it looks ugly. Like someone threw a load of stuff at a screen and said "voila"!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Potpourrii and Strong Bad Episode 2
What?! No Bomberman Blast? But I was looking forward to playing my friends online.
Re: Gradius ReBirth
Hope it comes soon. Although I got Parodius Portable for my PSP the other day so thats keeping me busy for now.
Re: Ys Book I & II
How do you get past that frikkin snake boss??? I hit it like 3 times and it kills me in one go!
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
Good update. Already downloaded Bomberman and picked up Ys too. Bomberman is awesome but the other 2 dont really interest me.
Here's hoping America gets these on Monday so I can play my friend from Canada online.
Re: Review: Bomberman Blast (WiiWare)
Best game on Wiiware so far? I think so! Downloaded it at 2 minutes past midnight and subsequently was very tired today at work...
Re: Bomberman Blast
If the Wiiware version is just wifi multi-player I'll be very happy. I hate Bomberman in single player.
Re: Nintendo’s Storage Solution: Better Than HDD, Expected Soon
Yeah hurry up with it so I can put all teh games on me menu.
Re: Sonic Spinball
I too like this game. I loved to play it through to the end as a kid and I still like to give it a run-through now and again. 4 stars imo.
-I didn't know the USA version had different title music! Just heard it in the video.
Re: Gradius ReBirth
That video is awesome! Im wiping off the drool watching it here. How soon can we expect this in Europe?
Re: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
This game is ace! I'm at the factory now. (spoiler) Just fought the huge big sword dude. I loves it!
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog
Hurry up hanabi festival and be over. I wants me some Sonic SMS!
Re: 2D Boy Interview - World Of Goo
Pfft! E39:99? I don't think so. Far too expensive.
Re: What's New In The World Of Goo?
I'm not buying it either. I would have had it been downloadable. But 30 quid is too much.
Re: EU VC Releases: Super Mario RPG and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Just downloaded SMRPG because of all the hype you guys gave it. I'm enjoying it so far. But I like Paper Mario so I expected to like it anyway. Hope it comes to America on Monday.
Although I might add... where the heck is Sonic SMS? I wants it!!!!
Oh and Earthbound next week please... man I'm hard to please.
Re: Home Sweet Home - New Game Play Video!
Wiiware sucks...
The only thing that's worth downloading so far is Dr Mario imo.
Re: Galaga '90
Bought this thinking it would have the music in the video. It doesn't.
Re: Samurai Shodown II
Downloaded this yesterday. I have to say I'm liking it a lot.
Re: More Info About Mega Man 9 Bosses
Yeah all the info that was given out prior to Brawl's release kind of spoiled the game for me. People tell just not to look ,but it's hard for me lol.
Re: Retro Styled Castlevania Coming To WiiWare?
YES, YES, YES! RETRO REVOLUTION!!!!!
Re: Official Helix WiiWare Trailer - Shake Your Booty!
Think I'll download this. Looks very interesting.
Re: Review: Gyrostarr
I think I'll hold off on getting any shmups until Gradius Rebirth comes out. These games don't look like they'd hold my interest. Star Soldier R had me very excited til I found out it was only the caravan mode... boo Hudson.
