500 points is a bit excessive for a C64 game. 300 or 400 is more like it. I've never played any C64 game though, so I'm looking forward to trying a few out
@Kevin: I don't even want the Ninja Gaiden games, it's just that I know others do. You guys have the Anniversary Collection anyway. I'd rather have Super Smash Bros. Brawl released in the EU in next few months, so it's a two way street; it's not like the US has things worse off, much better in fact.
Yes and no. Lots of N64 games can be found on eBay for much cheaper, although when the rarer ones start appearing they will be obviously be cheaper cheaper. Some games can be a bit too expensive, and some are a bargain, for example Sin & Punishment.
I would love to play Smash Bros. on the VC, even though I have it for the N64 still. Unlocking all the characters in anticipation for Brawl would be great.

Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
That's a good week for Kirby 64 alone. I really, really hope we get it next week...
Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
I really hope we get this next week! I never got around to playing it on my N64, and I love the 2D Kirby games, so this will be a must once we get it.
Re: EU VC Releases - 22nd February - Street Gangs
Good week, even know I'm not interested in either game.
Re: River City Ransom
It is now PoisonedV, only in the EU

Re: WiiWare dated for US, three titles officially announced
I hope the EU doesn't get WiiWare much later than that date, it's later than I thought it would be as well.

Re: US VC Releases - 18th February - Ninja Gaiden III
Decent enough week for the US, but we don't even have Ninja Gaiden 2 yet...
Hopefully 3 game weeks for all next week!
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th February - Sega Week - Phantasy Star II
Not too bad, Phantasy Star II intrigues me as I don't have many RPGs on the VC. Hopefully a 3 game week will be next...
Re: Contra III: The Alien Wars
I remember this game being rock hard when I played it on the SNES, so I was wondering if the easy difficulty is very easy or still quite difficult?
Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to get WiiWare Portal?
Cool! Hopefully this is true.
Re: Final Fantasy CC: The Little King - Media Blowout
I'm really looking forward to this one, really cheap too.
Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
Good week for you guys, at least you get 2 games.
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
I've tried, oh have I tried
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
I hate shmups, so it's a dreadful week for me. It would have been so easy for Nintendo to release another game for people like me....
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
I'm speechless. A good game, but 1 game again?!
Re: Lords of Thunder
Good release, even though I'm not too interested in it.
Re: Kirby's Dream Land 3 Reclassified by ESRB
Great, I really want to play this one. After playing Kirby's Adventure, I'm looking forward to this one.
Re: US VC Releases - 4th February - Operation Wolf
Bad week for the US, but at least you got 2 games... even if they are pretty awful.
Re: Are Virtual Console games good value for money?
Yes and no. Lots of N64 games can be found on eBay for much cheaper, although when the rarer ones start appearing they will be obviously be cheaper cheaper. Some games can be a bit too expensive, and some are a bargain, for example Sin & Punishment.
Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to include VC Demos!
Nice idea
Re: EU VC Releases - 25th January - Super Street Fighter II
A good game I know, but I'm not interested at all. The releases are getting pathetic.
Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?
That would be great, hopefully it will become a reality.
Re: Original Smash Bros Coming to VC?
I would love to play Smash Bros. on the VC, even though I have it for the N64 still. Unlocking all the characters in anticipation for Brawl would be great.
Re: US VC Releases - 21st January - Super Street Fighter II
Me for one Drake! =P
Re: Revamped Site is Now Live!
Love the new site guys, great work! Can't wait to rate some more games and browse a bit more! =D
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th January - 1080 Snowboarding
Meh week again... 2 games again...
Re: EU VC Releases - 11th January - StarTropics
Not the worst week, better than last I suppose... StarTropics does intrigue me slightly.
Re: Goldeneye NOT Virtual Console Bound?
It would have been nice to have GoldenEye on the VC, but I'd actually rather have it on Live if it brings online multiplayer and other updates.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
Not sure whether to download this or DKC, already have DKC2...
Re: EU VC Release - 4th January - Harvest Moon
Not bad, but 1 game?! Come on Nintendo...
Re: EU Christmas surprise - Donkey Kong Country 3
Nice update, I'm gonna have to download this after DKC.
Re: US VC Releases - Christmas Eve - Donkey Kong Country 3
Not a bad week, I hope we get Donkey Kong Country 3 this week...
Re: EU VC Releases - 14th December - Mega Man 2
Great update, considering we already got Pokémon Snap earlier in the week. Mega Man 2 for me =D
Re: Super Metroid
Brilliant game, a real masterpiece so far anyway.
Re: Pokemon Snap
I might actually give this one a go as it as a Pokémon game and I never got round to playing it when I had my first N64.
Re: EU VC Releases - 30th November - Baseball Stars 2
Disappointing enough. I really was hoping for an N64 game...
Re: The Virtual Console Archive is One Today!
Congrats on the great site and brill forum lads!
Re: EU VC Releases - 16th November - Double Dribble
This week is a disgrace, but I don't really care with getting Galaxy tomorrow...
Re: US VC Releases - 12th November - Axelay (+ Worldwide Mii Contest Channel)
You guys in the US have got to stop complaining, Galaxy 4 days earlier than us is enough for you this week.
Re: EU VC Releases - 9th November - Super Mario Bros 3
Yes! Thank god it came this week
Re: Check Mii Out Channel to hit on Sunday
Sounds dull enough, I'll get it to see how it is anyway.
Re: US VC Releases - 5th November - Super Mario Bros 3
Great week for you guys, please let us get Super Mario Bros. 3 this Friday or even next...
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd November - Sega Week
Bit of a "Meh" week IMO
Re: TMNT increases in price for Europe
Heh AVGN... I wouldn't get it if it was 200 points, doesn't interest me at all
Re: US VC Releases - 22nd October - Ninja JaJaMaru-kun
Bad week for you guys... about time though!
Re: New WiiWare game - Pop
Sounds really dull
Re: EU VC Releases - 19th October - Castlevania II
Quite a bad week... Oh well at least we got Super Metroid last week.
Re: EU VC Releases - 12th October - Super Metroid
YES!!!! Finally
Re: Mario Kart 64
Will Super Mario Kart ever be coming?
