Supermarioman

Also where in the crap is Tales of Monkey Island?

Well a decent week in my opinion, I'm very happy to see Bit Boy! and Pulseman so that I can try them out.

I'll take almost any game but the ones I most want are:
Moonwalker (VCA and Genesis)
Ghostbusters (Genesis)
Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis)
Splatterhouse 3 (Genesis)
Sonic and Knuckles (Genesis)

Moving to Europe is looking better and better and good for you Europe.

I just saw a used copy of Electroplankton at a Bristol, VA Gamestop for $50, who gets that copy is a lucky duck because it comes with a box and not the gamestop one, the actual box!

I say our next import week will be Pulseman and Smash Ping Pong and good for you Europe.

Its interesting to the fact that Nintendo decided to put Bowling in this version. I think this because bowling was considered the best game in the original Wii Sports by many and I'm pretty sure its in there just so people know that they have a reason to buy and play it more than once and also for a more realistic bowling experience, I will be buying this sometime, but not when it first comes out.

No I don't thank that this will be cheap like Wii Play's bundle, Nintendo actually put effort into this game, unlike Wii Play.

Sean Aaron:
You speak the truth in all ways, as long as the Wii Games are good I don't care how many they make on PS3 or 360. But I hope they understand what they are getting into, they would have to embark on multi-million dollar project just to get the game approved for either of the other consoles this generation and I'm pretty sure Suda 51 isn't used to that kind of pressure and commitment with just one project.

Anybody who says Electroplankton is a rip-off, consider the fact that I bought my actual game cart two years ago and had to pay $50 for it then and that was at Gamestop!!!

I'll preoder this and Metroid Prime Trilogy when I get home from Vacation, I better start working to get some money, Muramasa comes out September 1rst and Metroid Prime Trilogy comes out August 24th, gah there are too many good games coming out!!

I've played Mario Kart DS to death!!! I went through and unlocked all the characters, all the modes, the new title screen and some staff ghosts. Plus I ride the bus with a couple of friends and we play Mario Kart all the time on the bus.

Does anybody even care about SimEarth? or is it just frustation of not getting any Triple A titles for a while? Also as for WiiWare one game does sound kind of decent which would be Neves Plus and the others do sound bad. Oh well I'll just get SimEarth.

I don't know how Project Natal would work for the majority of 360 titles, cause aren't they all pretty much FPS, gosh think of how hard it would be to play Halo with your body!!! Also Project Natal will probably cost way too much for its own good, with that kind of advanced tech it would probably at least cost $100 and I wounder how much Microsoft will charge you to use it for chatting with friends.

Well I'm glad to see a good week. Swords and Soldiers and Mini's March Again look great. But why do we need yet another Koei strategy game, as long as we get a good one I don't care, but do we really need so many on the VC from the same company. I liked Uncharted Waters: New Horizon, but one strategy game from Koei is enough. Let alone what is it 4 of them.

E3 was really great, well it still is since it is still on. I am extremely excited about several new Nintendo games. Here is what I now have to look foward to now officially Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Metroid: Other M, Sin and Punishment 2, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, Final Fantasy Crytsal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Golden Sun DS, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Redsteel 2, Dead Space: Extraction, all of High Voltage Softwares projects, and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Damn those are a lot of great titles. The casual games were a little upsetting to me, but why in the hell do they need to show Wii Sports: Resort again????

Well I'll get this eventually, it looks really great and really hard. But all I wanna do is verse that 14th secret Nintendo Character. I know who it is, but I don't feel like spoiling him.

I'll be happy to see this Trilogy, I still don't have Prime 3 yet, so its a good way to get it and as well as get updated versions of two of my favorite games of all time. Funny thing that Japan got screwed with two NPC games instead of the trilogy.

@Linktothefuture:
Everyone need more money.

Anyway great review, I'll have to pick this one up sometime, I love the original.

I'm mad, what does Europe get for 300, thats the question and why I'm mad. But however good to see MM in America and CDR2.

I don't see how this is possible, they just released there last issue about a week ago, how can we already be even close to releasing a new one. I'll keep my hopes up though that we will get Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom soon as well as Captain Rainbow.

As for The Conduit "supposedly getting a 6.5" will see if that is true, I bet a lot of people will still get it.

Corbie:
Those are almost the only games you would ever need for the SMS.

Maybe we will get a big update on VC on Monday like Japan sense it is #300?

Let it come to the VC first, then bring on this great game!

Still not out yet
Come on and this was one of the games I was most looking forward to. At least we got an Update on Eternity's Child today, but nothing about this in a while and I am to curious how they will monitor the M-Rating, but they just let you download Splatterhouse 2 with one warning, so the same will probably applyto this as well.

Well I would love to see it come soon to WiiWare, but with such a little company, what about our Recession, what if it hits them??

People will buy it, hell they did it with Strong Bad for 5000 Wii Points overall. A lot of gamers will buy it because:
1. It's got the Final Fantasy name.
2.Final Fantasy 4 was just released on the DS, so a lot of peope have played it.
3. It's a "hardcore game" and "hardcore gamers" will buy it.
4. It's the sequel to a great RPG.
Of course I will buy it, I love Final Fantasy, I'm ready for the game to come now.

Damn, the sequel keeps getting better and better, I really did like the first one, but this one promises to be everything more than the last one was.

Anthonyb:
Lords of Thunder, hands down!!

It is a brutal game, but I won't buy it on the VC because I have R-Types on the original Playstation (Which has both the first R-Type and the Second R-Type) that I play on my PS2.

I doubt it will ever come to the US, the same goes for Skate or Die.

After thinking it over (AKA Looking at Corbie's comments and reviews) I going to choose Star Paroider, I love Fantasy Zone and Gradius, but Star Paroider just looks too unique and interesting.

Should I get Super Fantasy Zone, Star Paroider, or Gradius II? Both cost the same, but which do you think I should get? And Great Review Corbie.

This is one of the rarest and most expensive SMS game. I actually know someone who stole a copy of it from a rental store when it first came out (It was pretty rare then), he's on Youtube. Its only on one collection as of now and you have to unlock it. Anybody who likes any other Phantasy Stars (NOT THE ONLINE ONES) should definitely pick this one up when it comes to the VC!

I perfer the N64 version simply do to with its graphics you can see what your doing better and as for this version if it comes to the VC, I'll probably buy it.

Considering it may be one of the best, if not the best game for the Genesis, I see no reason why it isn't already on the VC. Sure it may not be the most popular title on the VC, but it would beabsolute excellence for fans of Strider, I would even take the NES version just because it at least shows one version of Strider can come to the VC. But it really does need to come to the VC.

Yes, Super Circuit is garbage in my opinion, well compared to every other Mario Kart game, it is definetly the worst game in the series. Now as for a prediction, I don't have a clue. I know Majora's Mask is going to be 300, while Europe probably will get it for 300 and we get it for 350 and then it starts a cycle in which good games we get every 50 after Europe, theres my prediction I don't want to be mean, but this is how I see it is going to happen and it will piss off a lot of NOA gamers including myself.

I'm pretty sure that we will get this sometime in the following weeks, the Shinobi series is popular everywhere and it usually takes around 3-5 months in a lot of cases to get games relased in NOA after NOJ.

Were never gonna get this, Japan will allow games with chances of lawsuit come to their VC, not the same in NOA and NOE.

Bring SimEarth to VC please NOA. Also why does Japan get around 5-10 games per every update?

So.....Will We Get Bubble Bobble Plus sometime since Europe has had it for well over two weeks and just got the sequel? I hope we get Fantasy Zone II on Monday, I love the original. Good Update!For everybody in Europe!

Well this is nice.

Ummm... Jack Bros. was released in the US NintendoLife. I'm pretty sure that it was, but it is incredibly rare.

I love Rare back before the 21rst century began to set in, everybody knows what I'm talking about to.....Grabbed By Ghoulies, a god awful game. The only reason I ever played it was that it was free when I booted up Progect Gotham 2. But this sucks the big one. I love Perfect Dark with a passion, but I don't want to have to buy a 360 just to play some Perfect Dark, my game cart quit a little while a go. With Banjo already on there console maybe my decsion for PS3 over 360 wasn't the best idea, I still love Metal Gear Solid, Little Big Planet, and Blue-Ray with the PS3 though.

Now tell me, will this mean the end of one Game weeks for the US? Either VC or Wii-Ware or is NOA going to screw us.

I hope it gets to the US soon, it looks very promising and very different take on games by Nintendo.

I also hope for a DSi VC, it would be great!

Also to add to my rant I realized that if we get Majora's Mask for 300, what the hell will Europe get. I put my money ona freaking awsome Import game or Smash, what the hell Nintendo of America, what the Hell!

Well everbody there are two things good about this weeks dowloads: Paper Plane to all DSi owners is one. EXCEPT WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT DSi WARE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! #2 is that we can finally get around to dowloading games that we still haven't goten yet.

Now to my rant....
WHAT THE HELL NINTENDO!!!!!
You and your good third parties have so much you could release and you give us crap!! Here I will name a few:

Earthbound
Contra
Donkey Kong 64
Super Mario Kart
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros.
Final Fantasy
Mega Man 4 or X
Street Fighter (Arcade)
Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
Strider
Phantasy Star
Any C64 game that Europe has!!!

Thats just a few games we would love to see. I know Nintendo can not seriously think that we will like all the crap they are throwing at us.
Heck even great announced DSi titles could come out like Art Style:Decode and Pop-Plus. Also on WiiWare where is Adventure Island and Bubble Bobble Plus at for the U.S. !!!!

IF ONLY NINTENDO would realize how much money they could make if they released good games that we care about, but no they give us bullcrap. Well the game does sound good, but that is no excuse for the lack of any effort in this update, we got good games at the start of the year but now this year is almost worse then 08 and were not even half way through the year.

There my rant is finished, you happy now Nintendo!!!

Man if only I could get my hands on some of these games, but I'm finding most of them hard to find, especially Metroid II, Super Mario Land 2, Link's Awakening, and Super Mario Land 3. I have Kid Icarus and thats it, I recently saw Final Fantasy III, but was broke at the time.

Where is the original Phantasy Star for the VC is what I'm woundering and I hope that they release the Dragon Warrior games sometime since there releasing Final Fantasy, they never remade the first 3 Dragon Warriors.

How do you get stars again?
