I was going to open mine for Christmas anyway. Merry Christmas to me!

Not being able to play Wii VC games on the gamepad stinks! Not, however, simply because the WiiU won't beam the game image to the pad, but because Nintendo seems to be confirming that, going forward, there will be two tiers of VC games (Wii VC and WiiU VC). Old Wii VC downloads will be playable, but in a "second-class citizen sort of way". You will be encouraged to purchase WiiU VC games and your old VC games will eventually go unsupported.

@Cipher thanks for the response Cipher, but I understand perfectly well. Two tiers (catalogues) of VC games: one playable on gamepad, one not. My old VC downloads playable, but defunct, and not playable on the gamepad. Nintendo is strong-arming us to repurchase VC games for the privilege of gamepad support. It's infuriating!

What! So they'll be two tiers of VC games: those original VC games not playable on the gamepad and new VC games that are? Is Nintendo expecting me to reinvest in VC games that I've already purchased just for the privilege of playing them properly on the gamepad?!

One of the reasons I have for purchasing a WiiU is so I can finally link those Virtual Console purchases I made (on Wii) to an account. That way they are "backed-up" in a sense, in case the console breaks down (and can hopefully be redownloaded to a new WiiU).

This game is awesome

It looks fun. I agree.

I agree. It looks fun!

How does this version stack up to the PS3 version framerate and resolution-wise? That version was truly a chuggy mess. I regret purchasing it.

Got my black unit preordered. But won't be opening 'till Christmas. My willpower is unbelievable.

Yeah. It's true just got mine in the mail. Cost around $95.00 Canadian for CIB copy.

Great interview!

I never appreciated how close the release date for the Genesis and TG-16 were.

Just purchased A TG-16. I wanted one all my life. Games are simple, but still very enjoyable.

Just bought this game off of eBay. I love it! Simple yet deep.

Wow, very powerful and raw.

You kids are all wrong...this game deserves a 10. Best Zelda ever.

@6ch6ris6 I know it's probably hard to swallow, but I believe, the Wii is slightly less powerful than the original Xbox. That thing ouput in 720p!

How'd they measure that 116ms lag exacly?

Hope the framerate beats my PS3 version. Doesn't normally bother me, but boy is that version choppy.

Nostalgia aside, this game still deserves a 10.

Is is as good as the first one?

No Ogre Battle huh? What about Final Fantasy VI? How's about Earthbound? Or Super Metroid? Yoshi's Island?

I have a 58" 3D television and honestly I love it. I originally didn't think I'd use the 3D functionality very often but that's not the case.

Great game. Loved the GBA remake as well.

Opera scene=classic

Oh my hero,
so far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away,
like night into day.
It's just a fading dream.

I'm the darkness,
you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity,
for me there can be
only you, my chosen one.

Must I forget you?
Our solem promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do?
I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more.

[He appears to her and they dance]
[He then fades away, leaving a bouquet of flowers]
[She takes the flowers to the top of the balcony and tosses them to the wind]

We must part now.
My life goes on,
but my heart wont give you up
Ere I walk away,
let me hear you say,
I meant as much to you...

So gently,
you touched my heart.
I will be forever yours.
Come what may,
I won't age a day,
I'll wait for you always...

[End of scene 1]
[Hurry, there isn't much time before scene 2]

Best Final Fantasy ever! XII is a close second!

Final Fantasy VI? Where are you?

Yeah...it's probably the best baseball game out there.

Read a review on an upscaler a short while ago. The conclusion: save your money as it introduces artifacts and doesn't provide an appreciable difference in video quality. One's best A/V option includes a component cable and surround sound setup.

My two year old son prefers to play NES (especially Duck Hunt) over PS3 or Wii. I believe it has to do with there more immediate ability to generate joy. At any rate his preference for older games speaks volumes.

Also Serge, the Anniversary Collection has the jump and fire buttons backwards and you're forced to use the Gamecube's analog stick! I own it, but I've also been downloading the VC games because they are much truer to the originals.

Dawn of Sorrow is a far superior game to Order of Ecclesia.

Very enjoyable romp that reminds me of Shantae and Aladdin!

It is an incredibly hard Mega Man especially after you've defeated the original 8 robot masters! I've always preferred Mega Man II.

Man I loved this game back in the day! It's carved a huge place in video game history. Remember Jimmy playing this game in the Wizard?

Classic through and though. Has a punishing difficulty level though.

Huh...not sure this looks so hot. Give me some 2-D sprites and artwork.

Cave story costs a little more because it includes downloadable content that was originally gonna cost extra. Believe me, this game is easily worth it's asking price and far better (especially control-wise) than the free-ware version.

Here's a post from an iPad: this thing doesn't have any buttons. It a great piece of technology though, however, nintendo definately has something big to unveil.

Apparently there the next Zelda will apparently contain a rumored flying element. Airships in a Zelda game? Can't wait!

Wow they put a lot of work into that trailer and you know what . . . I liked it!

Incredible Genesis game! Easily the best of the Phantasy Star franchise. Can't wait 'till it comes to North America!

Already have it for SNES but can't resist getting it again on the Wii! It was the title that introduced me to the RPG genre and for that I owe a debt of gratitude to this game.

Great game but not looking too good on a HD display. On a standard resolution television it seems to look a little better because it smooths over the graphical imperfections (almost like you're looking through a jelly-smeared lens).
Anybody else finding it really difficult to find Wii points cards for sale? I live in Saskatchewan and every place I go seems to have them sold out.

Anyone know how many blocks of Wii memory this game requires for download? I'm virtually tapped out and I don't really want to remove any of my previous downloads.
Thanks in advance.

It's a pretty fun game and certainly worth the 900 Wii points. I'm glad I downloaded it.

Hope it works with the upcoming Samurai Shodown compilation. Because the Wii's classic controller isn't compatible with Metal Slug Anniversary, it's not likely that the NeoGeo2 stick works with Metal Slug Anniversary, so by extension I'm not holding my breath that it works with Samurai Shodown compilation.
