FINALLY!!!! Now can we have some VC demos too?

I predict a lot of televisions will be broken when this game releases.

8 games, and they all suck. You amaze me sometimes, Nintendo...

The Great Fairy from Ocarina of Time needs to be on here! And Cackletta!

As I said before, I don't give two sh*ts about Fatal Fury, but it's great to see that the Neo-Geo isn't completely dead yet. Now I just hope Blazing Star, Metal Slug X, and Magical Drop make their debut soon as well.

I never got this, despite loving the first one, simply cuz most of the games didn't interest me at all. Though I might pick it up someday for Rampage: World Tour...

Awww yeah! 'Bout time we had a new Rayman platformer! Getting a DSi for this one for sure!

I was hoping for Castlevania this week, but this is still a nice week. ZAMN will be on my list for sure!

@Drake. Wait, that game is still being developed?

I've always loved the original Excitebike, so this one's a must for me. Can't wait!

Now Nintendo, be a doll and release Excitebike 64 along with it, k?

Castlevania III time, baby!

At least one of the Domo games are decent...

There's hope for Pole's Big Adventure after all! Yay!!

I'll have to get Lostwinds once I get a hold once I get some more points (and my Wii back. ), since I skipped the first one. Also, DOMO-KUNS!!

I'm backing Iga all the way for this one! I loves Castlevania!

"but outside of appearing in collections for the PSP and DS there's been no home console ports anywhere else that we're aware of."

It's also on Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade for the Xbox 360.

Glad to see the arcade version of Dig Dug hit the VC somewhere. Dig Dug II was pretty good, but not nearly as good as the original.

Look at those awesome PS1-quality graphics!

@Cheetahman91. It IS a lot like Starfox 64, except you play as a spiky-haired dude with a sword-gun instead of an anthropomorphic animal in a spaceship, and it's lots more awesome.

No LostWinds? Laaaaame!

Awesome! I really wanted to try the first LW, but passed it up due to it's short length (2 hours of gameplay for $10 is just a ripoff!). But since this is double the length, I'll definitely try it out.

Outdated English phrases FTW!

ANOTHER WONDER BOY GAME!?!? When will it end!?

4th 1/10 Wiiware game. Beautiful. Times like these REALLY make me wish Nintendo brought back quality control...

Baraduke is a pretty fun game, but it's a little overpriced at 800 points here. But with that said, I'm a little more interested in seeing that come up on VC than KSS, since people can easily play the superior KSSU. Why must Namco continue to leave us in the dust?

Oh, and that ninja game on the DSi sounds pretty cool.

This reminds me of the hacking minigame from Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, for some reason.

OMG we have screenshots now! It only took almost 2 years!

"Seriously, those of you who claim the GBA and PSP remakes are good, or even better than the original... what exactly do you like about them?"

• Retains most of what made the original game good (multiple job choices adding tons of replay value, old-school gameplay, ect.)
• Makes the difficulty more accessible to people who don't like wandering around the same area for 3 hours, fighting the same monsters over and over again just so they can enter the next dungeon without dying at the door (though I'll agree with you that made it a bit too easy)
• 4 (5 in the PSP version's case) new dungeons featuring bosses from other FF games
• Better translation, spells and names aren't restricted to 4 letters
• Great remixed music
• contains a bestiary

Really, the pathetic difficulty and ability to save anywhere (should've gone with the quicksave like all the other portable FFs) were the ONLY ways in which the GBA version was worse than the original. If you prefer the game in it's original form, that's fine, but don't go criticizing people for thinking that the remakes were better. That's their opinion.

@Adamant. How exactly does the GBA version "completely ruin" the game? Besides the overly-easy difficulty (which I kinda liked, since I hate RPGs that are heavy on grinding)?

I have FF already on the GBA collection, but I still want to get the original, if only to have the game in it's original form. The GBA version was also way too easy.

Other than that though, it looks like another lame week on the Nintendo front.

"Wrong. This is the best game in the series by far."

FFIV says hi.

Boy, Cubes sure climbed up fast!

Might get Arkanoid Plus and Drift Mania sometime down the road, but other wise this is yet another lame week on the Nintendo side. sigh...

Well, I suppose it doesn't look that bad for an N64 game, it... Wait, this is on Wii? Ohhhh lord...

Looks pretty lame to me.

I might get this cuz it's cheap and I need an RPG on my Wii.

Yay! The Europeans can share the love!

You see that, Mr. Lebeouf? Cool people with actual talent like the Wii!

@Starboy. C'est tres bien!

Bah, they can keep KSS. I'm fine with just the DS version (which I still need to get...).

I've seen Youtube videos of Championship Lode Runner. That game is freakin' INSANE!

The screenshots remind me of Intelligent Qube on the PS1, another great puzzle game starring giant blocks. I'll have to give this one a shot.

@Morphballer. You mean... actually add more VCA games? Why would Nintendo want to do that?

Looks like a weak week for Europe, but at least you got Cubes.

So the PS1 version was downsized? Hmm, no wonder it was always so cheap...

Even with the PS1 version's restrictions, Rayman 2 was and still is one of the greatest 3D platformers ever made. Shame this version butchered it so.

Now I have a reason to go back to France.

Hannah-Barbera vs. Capcom

Papa Smurf vs. Mega Man! Who will win!?

Nintendo still owns the rights to the Donkey Kong name, so it's entirely possible that DK64 will appear on VC eventually. We have the 3 Donkey Kong Countries on there, don't we?

Everyone should've expected this. It's not only a licensed game, but a game made by a company that gave the rights to their games to another company. This is a licensing nightmare, people.

Personally I've never played Goldeneye, since I never owned and N64, so I'm not too down at this. I do plan to get an N64 sometime soon, so I should see what all the fuss is about soon enough.

@Stevie. I would be eternally grateful as well, especially if they release Time Crisis alongside it.

This reminds me Lethal Enforcers.

Well, IGN seemed to like it.

The look reminds me of Actraiser and Secret of Mana. Will definitely buy this one!

All I can say is... Awesome! The SNES has one of the greatest libraries of any game system to date, and it would be great to see some lesser-known titles a chance to shine. I really wish I owned one.

Not surprising at all. Knew this was gonna be garbage the minute I saw those screenshots.

I've never bought a single Madden game in my life. The reasons? I'm not all that crazy about professional football, and I know that whenever I buy one, it'll be made completely obsolete the following year. I was tempted to get Madden '06 at one point though, since it would give me a free car in Burnout Revenge.
