Sonic Master System is a great game and I'm glad it's coming to Wii. The master System version is better so I would say no, it's not better to get Sonic Adventure DX just for the extra games. They're the Game Gear versions on that so they're not as well presented.
North99: That's entirely up to you but Nintendo first party releases have always been far apart. I'd rather wait a while for a top quality title that get a load of so-so games. As for the VC, I'm still enjoying the games I downloaded a year ago. Why do people today play a game once and then discard it? More stuff will come for those systems, just be patient.
And with that, all thoughts of quality control went out the window. Seriously, is anyone at Nintendo even looking at this stuff? Or are they just slapping a label on everything and throwing it up for download no matter how cack it is?
Downloaded it yesterday. At first I wasn't fussed because of the controls but after spending some time and getting to grips with them, I have to say I'm impressed. One of the best games I've downloaded in a while.
The game gear version is not as good because the sprites are bigger and its harder to avoid obstacles because of the small screen. This is a definite download for me.
This was the one game I was interested in apart from Bomberman... Not anymore. It's not the type of game I'd pay £30-£40 for. I leave that to games like Mario, Zelda and Okami etc. They feel worth the price. This game is now dead in the water sadly.
Didn't we get the awesome Gradius 2 in the last Hanabi festival? Btw I was really looking forward to SMRPG but I hear its very short and easy. Think I'll get it anyway.
In the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine they said that Mr Iwata has confirmed that they're working on a storage solution. So my advice is to just ignore this git. He probably wont be in a job much longer anyway.
If Sonic CD comes to VC I hope it's the one with the Japanese soundtrack. They'd do that in the UK since we got it in the original version wouldn't they?
I wouldn't mind getting Sonic CD with the original Japanese soundtrack too. I have Gems collection but I really don't like the American soundtrack as much. I miss my old PC version
This and Rocket Knight Adventures are my all-time favourite Mega Drive games! Can't wait to play it again. Oh and it's nothing like Rayman or Smash Bros.

Re: E3 2008: More Mega Man 9 Hands-On Impressions
Megaman is hard by todays standards, but no it's nowhere near as hard as Ghouls and Ghosts. That game is frustrating at times, Megaman isn't.
Re: Mega Man 9 Official Box Art
Oh man. The nostalgia. Feels like someone kicked the Flux Capacitor into overdrive! Now where's my shell-suit and Reeboks?
Re: Pilot the Vic Viper Once More in Gradius Rebirth
Parodius rules! Hope we get Parodius Da as a Hanabi game some time. Nes or Snes I dont care!
Re: Gradius Rebirth
DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT! DO WANT!... @_@
Did I mention... DO WAAAANT!!!!!!
Re: Pilot the Vic Viper Once More in Gradius Rebirth
I THINK I JUST WET MYSELF! Seriously, this is the best news EVER! XD

Re: Toki Tori
Oh, pardon me matron... lol.
Re: The Last Ninja
Downloaded it yesterday. At first I wasn't fussed because of the controls but after spending some time and getting to grips with them, I have to say I'm impressed. One of the best games I've downloaded in a while.
Re: Alien Crush Returns - New Screenshots and Video
MPP has a touch tilt feature so yes it does have "waggle"... sort of.
Re: Toki Tori
It's a disgrace that this game is the least downloaded in the UK. It's the best thing on Wiiware atm.
Re: Last Ninja 2: Back with a Vengeance
Woot! Other Flimbo's Quest fans exist!!! I've never come across anyone who's played it before. It'd be an instant download for me if it ever appears.
Re: Space Harrier
I like Space Harrier 2. And to Sharecrow: Yeah it is really good. Look up some vids of it on youtube to see just how good.
Re: See Mega Man 9 In Action
Yeah! I feel like a kid again. So can't wait for this!
Re: Space Harrier
Seriously, why didn't they do the TG-16/PC Engine version? Now there's probably no chance we'll see it. I've been waiting ages too. Bah!
Re: Sonic on the Master System coming to Virtual Console?
The game gear version is not as good because the sprites are bigger and its harder to avoid obstacles because of the small screen.
This is a definite download for me.
Re: Space Harrier II
I love this game! I respect your opinion but I also disagree. 4 stars from me. I just love old skool Sega.
Re: Space Harrier
Would've prefered TG-16 version.

Re: Super Mario RPG Released in Japan Today
10 hours is rather short.
Re: Super Mario RPG Released in Japan Today
How many hours of gameplay does SMRPG have? Excluding any side-quests.

Re: Nintendo Channel Gets An Update
Half the games I own and have played for way more than an hour (like NiGHTS), don't show up in the nintendo channel. Any idea why?
Re: Only Geeks And Otaku Want Extra Storage On The Wii
Apparently Nintendo have advertised for testers to look for bugs in USB technologies too. Hmm...

Re: EarthBound
Please, please, please release this in Europe!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - May 2008
Is there any hope that Rocket Knight Adventures will be seen any time soon?
Re: Will Sega CD Support Ever Come To The Virtual Console?
If Sonic CD comes to VC I hope it's the one with the Japanese soundtrack. They'd do that in the UK since we got it in the original version wouldn't they?
Re: Wii to support BBC's iPlayer (UK only)
But teh Dr Who!!! Lol. I dont understand. Why not just switch on the TV? Does this let you catch up with shows you've missed?
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
No way is Sonic CD a pile of crap. It and Sonic 2 are the best of the series!
Re: Dynamite Headdy
This should've gotten 5 strars!
Re: More C64 Details Emerge - Keyboard Input, Loading Times
Flimbo's Quest!!! As long as I get that I'll be happy. Oh and Rick Dangerous too.
Re: Tetris Attack
To Bass X:How come they could release Tetris DS then?
Re: The King of Fighters '94
I think I'll hold out for 96
Re: Super Metroid
When oh when is this coming to Europe?!?!
Re: Sonic 3D Blast
I'd give this a miss too. It's not all that great. Granted the Saturn version had excellent special stages but the Mega Drive one is just poor.
Re: Alien Soldier
AWESOME! Can't wait for this to come to Europe. It's the only Treasure game I missed on Mega Drive. NEEDS IT NOW!!!!
Re: Sin and Punishment
Can't wait to play this! Treasure have never let me down yet and I've been following them since Gunstar Heroes.
Re: Ys Book I & II
I wouldn't mind getting Sonic CD with the original Japanese soundtrack too. I have Gems collection but I really don't like the American soundtrack as much. I miss my old PC version

Re: US VC Releases - 11th June - Sonic 2
Actually Drake Gunstar Heroes is by Treasue.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - June
Does anyone think there's any chance of them releasing Paper Mario in the UK? Don't think we got it on N64.
