So when was the last time Power Drift came out in the West? Back during the computer age, it's not made a console over here since 1998 :-0 17 years ago people...will it make it over here?
Power Drift, Super Monaco GP arcade, Enduro Racer, Rad Mobile. Golden Axe Arcade Version. M2 wouldn't have a list that long I'm sure. What is known is that the West is supporting sales of this 3D range from good sales of 3D Megadrive games. Let's hope the next batch sell well so it funds more challenging and exciting remakes than most on that list
Had 5000 stars and used them on the lamp, sold the lamp for $120. Glad this is 7000 points, I was gutted when I heard this was going to be in available again as it was something that I would of loved. Glad to find I couldn't afford it anyway , not kicking myself now.
Love the 3D classics. Nintendo could of done something similar with the Snes games... Missed opportunity I feel. Looks like our Nintendolife reads all love the SEGA classics too
Lovely letter. Anyone who has lost someone when it seemed way to early will feel these words like me and my father. Now pass me that Super Famicom pad and let's play Pilotwings again.
Re boot of one of their classic driving games by Sumo Digital. SEGA - go back to your original characters of Sonic etc. the Japanese versions of past were much better
Thank god for that! It's sucked waiting for these but at least they will all be released together. Saves me buying the JP machine now. I will download them all later today when I get to my wi-fi
I decided not to bother with this game and I cancelled the 3 Amiibo pack after I played the Demo and it didn't hold my interest. The online became repetitive pretty quickly . A short game in Single player too...not for me.
Looks cool through and the concept was different which is nice.
I sold my SFC collection around 7 years ago to get some money together to move to Australia. I've enjoyed starting to recollecting these games on the WiiU VC and having the ability to switch and change games without having to swap cartridges is great. I'm over collecting physicals after spending 2o+ years collecting games, I don't have to take care of them, find space for them or try to protect them from the sunlight. Nothing is for ever so why bother collecting them ??
Marth has been restocked in Australia as with Ike. I picked them up yesterday. Wii trainer is being restocked in Japan as with Villager. I think there will come a time when there will be plenty about. Aus stores seem to be filling up now
@sillygostly SEGA have confirmed to me that 3D classics for Australia will be delayed after afterburnerII. At this point in time they do not have a continued release date. Totally sucks
I have a gut feeling that the NEW 3DS has / is going to underacheive over the next 12 months globally. I don't believe there's a big enough difference to warrent big sales. The special edition campaigns will help but in Australia they didn't sell out over Christmas and to be that's not a good sign.
Hopefully we'll see some further Special Editions or incentives to boost sales
I just like the figures so far and the box artwork. The figures that really appeal for me are Fox and Captain Falcon as I've never experienced figures for these characters before. I've used them in Mario Kart 8 and then boxed them again. I'm happy with that. My wife got me Mario for Christmas so since then I picked up Luigi too. I'm a old Skool gamer so I then picked up Donkey Kong and have pre-order Sonic and Pacman. I'm happy , they look nice and that's enough for me.
I don't believe the NEW 3DS XL in Japan has SFC buttons...wasn't it just the std version that does?? ....let you off with that error, looks a nice colour. I'll wait for a real themed soeacial edition before I think of up grading in any way

Great news about Axelay, I do miss my SFC. Had all Konami SFC games and this one reall impressed with the horizonal and vertical sections. The Mode 7 chip was used in an excellent way on the Vertical levels...who could forget the Fire planet and the first time you encountered the Flame Boss. The music to this game including the atmospheric intro is sublime. Looking forward to getting this again and for the poor Pal regions you get to play the game at 60Hz. M2 afterburner is a must too
I'm not even a fan of the Sonic character design. Why o why has he changed from the original Japanese 90's version. Who the hell wears a cravat .... Not cool, terrible in fact.
Got the code today in Aus. Never played Pokemon ever, downloaded the code. I'm 40 years old, maybe I was born during an age that Pokemon doesn't really appeal.
All those games and none to my fancy. Guacamole I picked up free with Games for Gold on Xbox one, pretty poor to me. Sorry. Need more Super Nes games on VC
The Super Famicom version will always be my favorite and most played but the n64 version was a good game. I preferred the cartoon style of the original over the characters of the n64 version.

The discounts definitely make me buy more games. I load up my account with $20 a month and I spend it on filling my VC catalogue, I don't spend any more than that generally. I used to have over 50 boxes Super Famicom game and finished most of them many times over, eventually selling them so building my SNES VC library is nice to get them back and at hand to play once in a while. It also seems better than playing Roms. Ninty need to have better variety selections on the eshop, not every Megaman game, mix it up a bit. Rarer games is a good idea too. Wii VC should be playable and accessible from the Gamepad and some VC games should be transferred from WiiU to 3DS or at least discounted if you own them on one machine for sure.
This has been talked about for a while as Okunari loves ThunderBlade. Glad it's on the 3D list as the only way to really play this version was on MAME. I can see these being released week by week leading upto Christmas like the furry wave of SEGA 3D games
Agree if you are only using the screen to control the game, but you can play with controllers too. Just saying that in this day and age I personally don't find poor arcade conversions to have any appeal, I expect more.
I don't see why anyone would want this version of Double Dragon II. Years ago it was fine to have poor arcade conversions but you can get a close to arcade perfect version on android , iOS etc

Which is better this one or the Wii sequel? I have the Wii sequel and did pick this one up on Wii VC on my old UK account but never really played it.
Any thoughts?
