Roo

Hooray!

Nah not really: Mega Man sucks.

I still have this set up in my front room, pay it quite frequently too. I'd much rather have a wee game of Snowboeard Kids, Rocket: Robot on Wheels or ISS 64 than play most of the rubbish that's on VC and WiiWare...

This is still the worst Nintendo game on VC. Absolutely shocking!

There's a character in it called Roo. That's all you need to know.

Oh, and that it's the worst of the series. But nonetheless for the sake of expanding your knowledge about games you missed out on, this is still worthy of a window on your Wii.

Nigh on pointless. Very, very little to differentiate this from the first SNES Street Fighter II game.

Bought this last night. Hmm.

Took me 10 minutes to figure out how to enter my name...

...and I still spelt it wrong.

"For solo players this is probably best avoided."

Great. That's me just wasted 800 points.

Don't drink whilst using Wii Shopping Channel kids.

Though I certainly wouldn't go as far as calling it "an excellent title", for 500 points you could do a lot worse. Give it a try if you want some more Sonic in your life...

Consider Sonic The Hedgehog on Master System, but seriously saty away from Splatterhouse 2: its mince.

International Karate+ is a brilliant game! Much superior to the first - when it comes out again, I'll be getting amongst it for sure.

Just don't re-release it in Europe on Friday 27th!

Tit.

I need more space to download games dammit! I haven't downloaded a thing since February!!

LOOK AT THAT BABY RUN!!!!!

Minted. Dig Dug is a minor classic: get it in!

Looking forward to this immensely. Shame I'll have to delete my Wii game saves to make room! Sorry MySims, you might have to be erased. DAMN YOU NINTENDO...DAMN YOUUUUUUU!

If I could only play one Sonic game for the rest of my life, I'd choose this one. Stunning!

I bought this for £2.50 ten years ago. Sucked back then, sucks now. Don't buy it.

Looks to be a fairly slap-dash line-up. No Dr. Mario? I'm sure that'll disappoint many. To be honest, I'm more interested in the Virtual Console developments, what with the confirmation of such classics as Earthbound and Earthworm Jim, and the impending arrival of the import festival games and Pokémon Puzzle League...

HAPPY!

Pokemon Puzzle League is one of the few big-name N64 games I no longer have (traded it in for SD Vs. Raw 2006 - totally regret it). buing this for sure!

I've actually stopped downloading VC games in fear of running out of memory! I don't understand all this SD Card business either!

This is okay. It's a 2D platformer with music, gameplay and graphics. Nothing more, nothing less.

Good launch line-up...better than the guff we got i.e. Soccer, Pinball and Wario Woods...

Wii Points are expensive. Surely in buying a Mario, Zelda or Kirby game the consumer realises that they're making a solid investment? Why take a chance? I did, and I've ended up with games I'll never play again (i.e. Harvest Moon, Alien Soldier and Baseball Stars 2). It's the games in that very list at the top of the page that I play the most in my VC collection. Surely you're not telling the masses to download something like, say, Fantasy Zone over Punch-Out?

"SCOTLAND -- Caber Toss"

YES!!

Nah - this isn't very good at all!

"Groovy!"

I own this - built into my Master System! For 500 points, it's a good purchase.

I'll come too.

Nah. Streets of Rage, Final Fight and Golden Axe are what you want to be looking at...

I like the video - shows us the entire game

Ahh, I never liked this a whole lot. Sorry folks!

Very good week for VC - but of all the weeks! Mario Kart's out today!

I'd like to see Sega CD on VC, if only to rock out to the Sonic CD soundtrack...man, that rules!

DEMON212: "LMFAO XD @ X.SuperMario.X's 2nd comment...priceless."

You're not wrong there mate.

My e-mail is listed as thus (no order)

Snowbaord Kids 2 (could be a while, but hey: I can ask).
Super Punch-Out!!
Outrun
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Star Fox 2

Aye same here, VC has lost a great deal of momentum, triggered perhaps by the release of poor games like Cruis'n USA and others that people couldn't possibily give a toss about. I think it's time for Nintendo to start bringing in the big guns.

Top-notch stuff, it's better than Contra!

I remember the legendary N64 Magazine (UK) review of this back in '98:

"Dump."

True, true.

Cruis'n USA! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I may but the C64 games though. So it's all good in the end.

Perhaps Sonic 2 isn't there cause they gave the game away with Mega Drives in the mid to late 90s. Also, its almost as easily found as all the old FIFA updates. I say its not there cause everyone already has it.

Super Mario 3 for 500 points...can't go wrong there.

Kirby 64's awfully high up for a game which isn't too great.

Holy smokes! 8 replies in and no one (except me, for the purpose of making a point) has mentioned "Super Smash Bros. N64" yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R-Type is cool, but it's hard. Really, really hard.

We should be celebrating - after all, this marks the Virtual Console's 100th side scrolling shooter...or at least it seems like it.

No More Heroes and Harvest Moon come out on Wii today, which'll do me just fine.

If they change the name to World of Roo then I'll consider it.

Any money they go and ruin it by adding new shapes, like Magical Disney Tetris' legendary 8x8 block of rubbishness.

You American folks have got it too good. You get these unexpected games today, you get Super Paper Mario five months before us, Truama Center: Second Opinion nine months before us, Smash Bros Brawl at least six months before us...and what do we get? Alan Hansen's Sport Challenge! Yyyyyyyyyyyyay!!

This is Virtual Console, not An Introduction To Contemporary Economic Issues!

Quirky platformer...hmm. Might give it a pass, seeing as the last quirky platformer I bought on this websites recommendation was Mystical Ninja...and that wasn't too great.

You know, the Wii remake of Bully came out in Europe today.

Bully > Kirby 64.

Disappoinitng. I know I said it was fun and all before, but I played it yesterday on N64 (Cartridges baby!) and it wasn't the game I remembered it to be. Too dull, predictable and easy to amount to much. The music isn't too shabby though.

"This game is just plain, straight-up better than the N64 version..."

SCREAM! No way! This is like the N64 version, only with worse graphics, sound, gameplay and lastability! But still, it's Pilotwings! And Pilotwings is mint!
