I have the GameCube version of this game, and it's pretty cool

I'm happy for you guys in Europe.

I have more experience with the NES port, but the arcade game was pretty great, too.

@mariofanatic128 - I'm sure it was
A classic.

Haven't really played much of the arcade original, but it was one of the first games I've played on the Game Boy Advance e-Reader along with ExciteBike back when I got it in Christmas of '02. Pretty fun game. I also have Donkey Kong Clasics on the NES, which has this game and its predecessor Donkey Kong.

Great review, Corbie. One of the greatest RPGs out there, and one of SquareSoft's best (alongside Secret of Mana).

Sounds intriguing, I can't wait!

Chrono Trigger, welcome to the Virtual Console!

Good review, Drake.
Decent entry to the Adventure Island series, though by no means the best. I liked the soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro, especially this swimming song that sounds like something out of Donkey Kong Country to me. It's short, but fun; though I do confess that I have issues with it.

@LosAngeloTip - nope, Thunder Spirit and the Thunder Force series were developed by Technosoft

Nice!!

I thought Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 had good music.

@BassX0 - before the banner was changed to what it is now, it was the Japanese version Rock Man X's box art, and that's why he had asked before

Great review, Corbie. I concur, this game is "X-ceptional"; a 9 well-deserved!
This was the first ever Mega Man game I've ever beaten, and I love it!

Fantastic game,and the box art is beautiful
I played this game and the rest of the series as well as the racer Mega Man Battle & Chase in Mega Man X Collection

@Ryno - 1991

My favorite Mega Man game of all time.

Chrono Trigger, good game

Good game, better than the first Adventure Island, imo (I played the Game Boy port of Adventure Island II)

@ryanthehedgehog - Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo for American audiences) was a series of childrens' books where you would try to locate Wally (Waldo) in each of the books' pages. That's easier said than done, because the pages are cluttered up with myriads of people, so you'd have to pay very close attention to each page in order to locate him.
On a side note, I've always thought it was known as Where's Waldo in Europe as well. Guess not.

Happy Two-Year Anniversary, NintendoLife!!!

That's great to hear!
Happy Two-Year Anniversary, NintendoLife!!!

Good review, IncognitoD. The game looks pretty good, and judging from your review it sounds really good.

Regardless, Mega Man X3 is still quite a difficult game; the final boss Sigma was a total monster in that game (I can still recall it vividly, though I only beat the game once).

I still think Square-Enix should release SoulBlazer and the rest of the Enix line-up of games to the VC, but it is nice to see that they're going to bring Chrono Trigger to the VC.

Yeah, I really don't understand why Capcom emulated the PlayStation version of Mega Man X3 to the Mega Man X Collection instead of the SNES original (unless it was to show off the FMV cutscenes).

Mega Man X is not only my favorite game in the X series, but also my favorite Mega Man game of all time. It's a really good experience, and the secret weapon is really cool. Awesome soundtrack, too; first Mega Man title I've ever beaten.
Also, Chrono Trigger's fantastic as well.

Well, this was quite unexpected!
I have it for the DS. Chrono Trigger's one of my top favorite RPGs.

Good review, Corbie.

I'm happy for Europe.

I often find it interesting how Master Higgins' mouth is shaped like a hook.

Tempo Jr. looks very good, from the screenshots I've seen on the MobyGames website.

I heard good things about this sequel, and I also heard that it's a lot better than the original Super Adventure Island. I'm interested.

I like Super Adventure Island, though I think it has some flaws, imo. Yuzo Koshiro's music here is really good.

The first Super Adventure Island game is decent, though I do have several reservations for it. I love Yuzo Koshiro's soundtrack in this game, and the visuals are quite nice.

Good review, Dave.

Last Resort is fun and decent, but oh so difficult; but not Magician Lord-difficult, thank goodness!

Are you happy with Final Fantasy VI, or are you just glad that Square can now potentially get to releasing some more Enix games?

The latter, one thousand times the latter!

Final Fantasy III/VI is a good game (I played the Game Boy Advance version), but I got to a moment in the game (quite far, too) where I was very unprepared and ill-equipped and couldn't get any further because I was dangerously low on health restorative items and very low on health so I had to start the game over again

Happy anniversary, Link.

Is it really that good?

Glad to hear that Adventure Island II for the NES is going to be released to the Virtual Console someday.
I have the Game Boy port Adventure Island, which I just beat for the first time today.

When this article came about two days ago, it made me a bit sad (after I saw some users' comments regarding whether or not these games would ever come to the VC). I'm over it now.

The Lost Vikings is one of the best games ever made, imo.
Action/Platforming + Puzzle Elements + Challenge + Humorous Dialogue = Classic!
I'm sure hoping it gets released on the Virtual Console someday.

As for the other Quintet/Enix titles: I think it's about time Square-Enix started releasing them, pronto!!

RocketKnight Adventures is a game that I've long been interested in. That, and its two follow-ups (both the MegaDrive and SNES ones). I never experienced those games before, but I heard great things about them.

There's a score rating for the game while your in the 3DS Shop Channel?

@Wolfenstein - Forgotten Worlds was released a few years before this game came out.

Good review, Drake.

@JumpMad - no, it didn't. Pucca debuted on TV back in late '06 and the show ended sometime in '08.

@Ω - glad I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance.

I'm still reminded of Forgotten Worlds whenever I see the screenshots of that game.

@JumpMad - Pucca didn't exist until 2006, and it was played on TV; you must be thinking of something else.

I would import the Parodius compilation on the PSP if it weren't for the fact that it's expensive on eBay (well, not too expensive, but I cannot afford it atm).
