Pretty sure I suggested they should do this in an article posted a couple days ago. I'm glad to see this happen. I'd like to see Jett Rocket. They should keep the demos permanent, then have them expire like 2 weeks after they've been downloaded.
This is one of those games that scarred me when I was a child. I rented it once and didn't get anywhere! That was a good waste of my parent's $3 that weekend.
When the Wii came out, it was all the rage and got tons of publicity. Now, I'm only seeing commercials for games that are on multiple platforms. Most game commercials are to a targeted audience: G4, Spike, little kid games on Nick and sports games on sports networks. I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't advertise to a more broad audience like they did when the system was launched. More on topic, I've never seen a WiiWare game advertised. I know my opinion isn't worth much, but there aren't many games I'm interested in for the WiiWare. For a while, you could download demos of certain titles. Maybe that should be a mainstay or some sort of rental service would encourage more activity.
This game looks awesome. The trailer on the website looks amazing. I'm all about living in the past when it comes to my gaming. The more 8-bit games, the better.
I like challenging games, but I hate when games are so challenging that all you do is die. Challenging games should make you want to use your brain, not blow them out.
Exed Exes is a noisy schmup. I was watching a video on it and there are very little weapon upgrades. I don't understand what the VCA is up to. I would think they would put out more popular games. I don't know what the limitations the developers have for these games, but I'd like to see some good 90's arcade games.
SSB games are incredibly boring to me. I like how the stages are designed, but the gameplay is so frustratingly easy. I'll take Street Fighter or Fatal Fury over this any day.
To piss off even more people, I think ALL games should be played with another human in the room. Too much online play makes people antisocial.
This game looks pretty cool. The music is awesome and it looks like it's stole levels and gameplay from Contra, TMNT (the first one) and Bionic Commando. This looks like a must download.
Multiplayer, license to kill, slappers only. Slow Animation, getting the enemy to grab his junk then unloading on him with dual RCP-90's and infinite ammo. Not telling people how to climb up the vent in the Facility and killing the helpless respawndant. Shooting people in the ass. Sniping in the Surface. Planting stacks of Remote Mines under enemies while invisible.
I am as well JJ, but this game looks seriously flawed. The computer is getting a lot of hits in with only one pawn character on screen. Looks a bit slow too. I'll wait to hear some hands-on feedback before I judge it too harshly
MK games generally have poor controls but this game isn't playable. I tried playing for about ten minutes and couldn't pull off any move. This review is 100% correct. There's no comparison between this and SFII on the GB.
What are the limits for these games? So far the games that are on the VCA seem very limited compared to other arcade titles. I'd like to see Alien vs Predator!
I'm really excited about this game. I wonder if they'll leave the glitch in the Facility to climb back up in the air duct. Probably not. Hopefully they add some more multiplayer maps than in the 64 title.

Re: Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition Coming to U.S.
It would have been cool to see them include the NES versions of these games.
Re: Cartoon Network Mayhem in Upcoming 3DS "Battle Game"
I'm surprised to see no Ed, Edd and Eddy annouced. Courage would be awesome too. That show had enough bad guys to make a whole fighting game out of.

Re: Review: Rival Turf! (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Can't argue with the scoring on this one. This game is nowhere near the elite class of beatemups the SNES has to offer.
Re: Capcom Reveals Virtual Console Arcade Support in the West
1942 for sure.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
Really regretting not picking up the GBC game for 4 bucks a few years ago. Saw it behind glass, didn't know what it was, walked away.
Re: Virtual Handheld Confirmed for 3DS
The pricing for the B&W GB games will have to be really cheap considering most games can be had under $7. I'm all for access to classic games.
Re: You Can Stop Waiting for Worms: Battle Islands on WiiWare Now
You mean I have to leave my house to get this game now? Ugh, Gamestop is a whole 0.8 miles from my house.

Re: Steve Wiebe Reclaims Donkey Kong World Record
These guys seriously need to get lives. I bet they smell bad.

Bring me a small lyre!

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August 2010 (North America)
Gotta agree with Odnetnin. WiiWare generally sucks and the VC is hiding somewhere so Other M is a nice way to spend 50 bucks.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - September 2010
It's good to see Nintendo making some effort towards the VCA. I'd be interested in SonSon.
Re: New Screenshots Illuminate Aya and the Cubes of Light
That's one slow moving game.
Re: Capcom Announces New CEO & President of European/US Offices
Cool, now get us some Mega Man and Street Fighter titles for the Wii!
Re: Buy Ufouria If You Want More Quirky Virtual Console Titles
Of course I'm for the expansion of the VC, but this game really doesn't look that good to me. I guess I can't judge it until I play it.
Re: Wanted: Your Memories of GoldenEye N64
This is what I sent to Paul:
Multiplayer, license to kill, slappers only.
Slow Animation, getting the enemy to grab his junk then unloading on him with dual RCP-90's and infinite ammo.
Not telling people how to climb up the vent in the Facility and killing the helpless respawndant.
Shooting people in the ass.
Sniping in the Surface.
Planting stacks of Remote Mines under enemies while invisible.
Re: Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (Game Boy)
Even the Shredder can't get sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
Re: Review: Enjoy Your Massage! (WiiWare)
Didn't see this score coming...
Re: GoldenEye Gets Golden Pad Bundle
Definitely getting the bundle. This is the first gold thing I've seen come out by Nintendo that wasn't related to Zelda.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th August 2010 (North America)
WiiWare keeps finding ways to be lame. Nobody wants to give a massage, they want to receive one so why would anyone want to play a game like that?

Re: Review: Girlfriends Forever: Magic Skate (WiiWare)
800 Points? Can't say I was anticipating this game's release.
Re: Heavy Fire Rains Down on WiiWare on Monday
This looks like something that belongs on addicting games. How about some more ports of arcade on-rail shooters. I'm up for Carnevil.
