Wow, yet another "Rebirth" of an game series Europe gets first. Once again I don't care because I perfer originals (Mega Man 9 does get that category of being an original) and Majora's Mask I have on the Gamecube with little problems.
Actually the Classic NES Series are getting expensive, why would I pay $15 for Super Mario Bros. , when its $5 on the VC, HELL EVEN FREAKING ICE CLIMBERS IS $5 IN THE CLASSICS!
Update: The Final Countdown and Kung Fu Fighting have been confirmed for the game, LOL. It says that the game is dirceted towars kids, and there will be a DS version.
Also yes Rock Band is going down the road in which they release everything they can, but LEGO'S? WTF! I still can't get over the fact that their making one for the PSP.
And to think that we though Guitar Hero had went overboard! This is juts ridiculous, what will the songs be? Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Probably since it seems it will be for the kids and how exactly are they going to have a good game on the PSP I wounder, no touch and no ability for a grip like On Tour, Harmonix is going way overboard!
Also 3rd party games for the N64 were made by many companies that have yet to choose if they will support the VC yet such as LucasArts and Nevesoft. Activsion has just joined the VC, so some of their games should be coming at some point. Yes I know that the controller pack does work in Crusin USA. But I'm pretty sure that it is not truly fixed. They may also be trying to find a way to use Rumble in games due to how many games used the Rumble Pack for the N64. There are a lot of issues that keep N64 games from coming to the VC and I've only covered a few of them, but Nintendo is just being a Lazy Ass about some of their games.
LongTimeGamer: I don't have a clue why we haven't been getting C64 and Arcade games. But as for the N64 there are a lot of liscening issues with many games and they can be hard to emulate at times. Liscening issues are mainly with Rare where they made a ton of N64 games, most of the good ones, such as Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and countless others and worked on classics like DK64. Controller Pack issue is a bitch to add to all of that and for the final kick in the nuts by Nintendio, they are too lazy to release N64 games.
One of my friends own the original (I don't know why, it is one of the worst Wii Games and that is saying a lot), and watching the actual game was hillarious do to just how bad everything in the game was. I then played afterward to see what the hell my friend saw in even keeping the game and learned that it had horrible controls and stupid games that are ten times more fun on Wii Sports and Mario Sports games. Hopefully this will be the last Deca Sports game we will ever see.
I'll be getting Smash Hits, do to the fact I want to play some of the great songs on previous Guitar Hero's on my Wii. The On Tour series is only decent and is there to entertain people who do not have a big gaming system and hardcore Rhythm Game lovers who buy every Guitar Hero that is made. As for Van Halen, I'm not a huge fan of him, so I probably won't be looking into that one. Good to see Neversoft is willing to send out a multitude of Guitar Hero games from now on. But one qustion remains: Does Guitar Hero: Hendrix exist and if it does when will it come out? Hendrix made great songs.
Crazy Taxi is a great game, everybody should get a chance to play this arcade classic, trust me it is well worth a few bucks. Its one of my most beloved new arcade games and ports.
A freaking awsome Gamecube game, I absolutley love everything. The controls are perfect, the game is fun to play and awsome in Multiplayer. Also the graphics are incredibly beautiful and detailed. Though it is a great game, I would only give it and 8/10, do to flaws like being to short, constant respwning enemies and other things.
Looks like a pretty great game and I would love to see a release date and the fact it will support Wii Motion Plus is a fact that makes me even more excited about this game.
Glad Activision has offcially joined the Nintnedo downloads. Pitfall looks pretty good and I may download it. (When I download every other game that I want) I still say buy the Collector's Disc for the gamecube if you want Majora's Mask. Still don't have a DSi so nothing there for me.
It is a pretty fun game and I just barely managed to buy the dang thing, but I would give it a 7. Just because it has pretty good arcade style gameplay and is a pretty good as a collectors item, too bad it is the most expensive Nintendo game to get new ever.
Wow, never expected WarioWare to get this low of a score, but I'll probabaly still get it for cursoitys sake. That is whenever I get a DSi . Lets hope my camera will be in a good mood then.
Also I think Majora's Mask will come next week, isn't that how we got SMRPG a week or 2 after Europe? Also just to comment, I love the great layout of the site, its much easier to get to everythig now.
Great update , Uncharted Waters looks very interesting, Equilibrio looks very interesting as well. DSi Ware has a pretty good start as well. Before I get sworn for saying that today was a good update, I don't care about getting Majora's Mask on the VC, I have it for the GC collectors edition. For anyone who wants it go buy it and also before someone says that it is too horrible of a port do to glitches, my disc is scrathced up where I bought it at Gamestop used and the game has only froze once and the only other thing is that of the sound skipping in certain areas, and dosen't the VC version have that?
I'll try it, I do have an I-Pod Touch, but to tell the truth I don't want to fill itys memory up (what do you do when its full?, do not answer this question). But Square Enix is ripping us off with the price for both games, but I'll see how good the first one is anyway.
Awsome update for Japan. Space Invaders for the VCA is awsome, so is the original Phantasy Star, and Majora's Mask wasn't that bad on the GC or my game isn't that screwed up. But anyway this is great.
What about Final Fantasy 6, our 3, is there any word on that one, that was my favorite one. I'm hoping it gets released. Also to who says that VI sucked, try the original version, its much better. But great news anyway.
Well thats sad, I really wanted this game to be really good. Sonic Unleased was only so decent. But Sonic games are getting better slowly like Sonic RPG and the Sonic Rush series. Maybe Sonic will return on WiiWare in Sonic the Hedgehog 4! We can at least hope.
I hope they don't just trash this game. It looks very promising and I don't even like the Ninja Turtles. I've never played any of their other games either, so maybe this one can get me into them, I don't really know.
Oh hell yes, this game looks so awsome. I love the first one and as soon as the second one comes to VC in NOA i will download it. As for controls I think I use the original controls like the NES version.
Well thats great news, to bad they didn't do that for the Wii. I'll probably download Dr. Mario and The Wario Ware game. But that won't be until I get a DSi around Christmas, I don't feel like buying one.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't belive this. This has been one of my most wanted games for the VC and now Europe gets it. I'm not forgetting you still haven't given us Clayfighter, I have been willing to try that game for a long time, but NOA gets screwed again, with great games like Alex Kidd...........and one C64 game on one week.
Now that is crap, the Gamecube was a great console with great games. Sure they had third place but it still had great games like Super Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, and Resident Evil 4. Plus it introduced Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion(NOT A GAY GAME!), and continued several other franchises.

Re: Iwata and WarioWare: Snapped!
Holy Crap! That was hilarious, not even leader of Nintendo can do this game right, just shows that the camera isn't everything.

Re: Banjo-Kazooie
Why is this exactly on the site, haven't rare and Microsoft kinda said no way to letting Banjo come to VC? I hope it does.
Re: Review: Wario Land: Shake It! (Wii)
Great game and worthy of an 8. Really the art is beautiful, but it is too short and too easy in a lot of places.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2009
Awsome update for Japan. Space Invaders for the VCA is awsome, so is the original Phantasy Star, and Majora's Mask wasn't that bad on the GC or my game isn't that screwed up. But anyway this is great.

I hope they don't just trash this game. It looks very promising and I don't even like the Ninja Turtles. I've never played any of their other games either, so maybe this one can get me into them, I don't really know.
Prediction: 6-7.5 for review
Re: New Info Surfaces On Punch-Out!! Wii
Oh hell yes, this game looks so awsome. I love the first one and as soon as the second one comes to VC in NOA i will download it. As for controls I think I use the original controls like the NES version.
Re: Exciting Details For Excitebots: Trick Racing

Re: Target Confirms 1000 Free DSi Points

Re: Super Punch-Out!! Available in Europe Tonight
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't belive this. This has been one of my most wanted games for the VC and now Europe gets it. I'm not forgetting you still haven't given us Clayfighter, I have been willing to try that game for a long time, but NOA gets screwed again, with great games like Alex Kidd...........and one C64 game on one week.
Re: Miyamoto: GameCube Made Me Sad
Now that is crap, the Gamecube was a great console with great games. Sure they had third place but it still had great games like Super Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, and Resident Evil 4. Plus it introduced Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion(NOT A GAY GAME!), and continued several other franchises.
Re: Review: New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis (Wii)

Re: DSiWare: Pre-release Roundup
