Mario Bros. arcade is better?

Bring on Donkey Kong! The NES version is too repetitive. If the arcade version comes out, I'm deleting my NES version and snatching the arcade version up!

If they can add Ecco & Columns, they'll be set for the SMS.

@D4NG3R: Is Cave Story actually worth begging so often for?

350th is probably not going to be a "milestone" in their opinion. We'll have to wait until 400.

The origin of the Brothers Strong.

I'll get it for the Wii, but I wonder if the DS version will be worth it. I've been a bit disappointed by Mario Kart DS and Diddy Kong Racing DS. They've given me cramped wrists.

Also, this will be my umpteenth racing game. Still, it's the only game worth buying for 2010 IMO.

Too bad I already have Uno on my ipod.

Week after week they release games I've never heard of. Then again, I'm pretty much set on my VC downloads unless my old systems break.

Boring. I suppose we won't get much until a "special occasion" comes. Maybe the Monday after the summer solstice we'll finally get Tubin'.

I'd get Oregon Trail if it had come to WiiWare, but a portable version doesn't seem right. Otherwise, nothing all that interesting.

SSB is hard compared to Melee and Brawl. Luigi is the hardest to unlock! It took me a few tries just to unlock Jigglypuff! It's definitely worth it.

I love othello (aka reversi).

Maybe we can get some superheroes, Looney Tunes, and Lemmings?

Of course, they've already omitted Spider-Man and Batman from one game.

@GooniesFan: Popeye and Moonwalker will take awhile to release, especially anything Michael Jackson. Pro Wrestling has a decent chance, but don't count on Michael Jackson any time soon.

PREDICTIONS
12/14- Pilotwings, Blaster Master
12/21- Super Smash Bros., Ninja Gaiden, Sonic & Knuckles, Space Invaders
12/28- Shadow Dancer, Return of Ishtar

@SuperDude: If they can get Super FX games, that'd be great. They can start with Yoshi's Island, since it almost failed to exploit the SFX's capability (save for the title screen).

What a coincidence that SFA2 was released shortly after I discovered its page on IGN. Have they run out of Street Fighter games yet?

And when, exactly, will we be getting UNO?

That's great. Maybe I'll try it for a change of pace. World of Goo also sounds fantastic.

Is Monkey Island any good?

Looks like a complete reverse for the WSC. North America starts getting big titles and exciting updates while Japan dwindles into mediocre releases. That'll show 'em.

I already have my original cartridge, so I have no need to get SMK right now (especially since I got a new A/V cable last weekend!).

Nice update. What's the purpose of Electroplankton anyway?

Now all that's left for NOA to catch up is SSB and S&K.

Once they release S&K, unless they somehow release Sonic CD, I couldn't care less what they release Genesis-wise.

Nintendo release what they can, and what they release is available indefinitely. Be happy.

Don't forget that IGN says that Sonic & Knuckles will come out this year.

I already have it on my SNES, so I just need to order a new A/V cable

@megaboomface2: The original is a classic. Get it. You won't regret it.

I didn't like Temple of Doom, and Raiders was ok. Basically, I'm not a fan of Indy. The video also made it look like any other platformer.

I think I'll pass on Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones WTF?

Keep this up, and they'll start realizing how we've been feeling since NOA kept giving us 52 VC games a year while they received 416.

I might actually get Excitebike. It sounds fun.

What's Cave Story?

Two VC games, huh? I'm proud of them. Now, if only they could give us more for Christmas. Please give us SSB so I have something to download with SBCG4AP ep 3.

And NOA's IOU list grows larger.

Super Mario Kart
Kirby Super Star
Super Smash Bros.
Sonic & Knuckles

@Stuffgamer: I only did that with F-Zero X, Bomberman '94, and Lost Levels. If I want my fix now, I can always download Baddest of the Bands.

I've been reduced to downloading games out of curiosity just so I can get my VC fix. Every week it's the same blah de blah.

@17: Complaints like that annoy me.

Nintendo of America's IOU List:

Earthworm Jim 2
Super Mario Kart
Super Smash Bros.
Kirby Super Star

I guess there isn't a big enough market for VC games here.

So, let's see what's on the IOU list for NOA.

Galaxian (VCA)
Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Super Smash Bros. (N64)

Care to add more?

I agree that Super Star is the best Kirby game ever made. After being incredibly disappointed with Squeak Squad, I sold it, but after awhile downloaded Kirby 64 as a second try. I liked it, and when I noticed the SNES Kirby was coming to DS, I picked it up and it is far superior to any other Kirby game I've ever played.

Too bad most people on campus don't even play video games.

I have an idea: how about reserving SMK for Thanksgiving and SSB for Christmas.

Art Academy might convince me to get a DSi. I've always wanted to learn how to draw.

More Street Fighter? I always thought it was ridiculous that there were so many variants. Hyper Fighting, Turbo, Championship Edition, The New Challengers. Street Fighter II is Street Fighter II to me. I don't care what version.

As I've been saying before:

NES: remote
SMS: remote
TG16: remote
SNES: classic controller
Genesis: classic controller
N64: Gamecube controller

I'm good.

I use the CC only for SNES/Genesis games, so I don't need this. The grips are a plus, but I prefer the nostalgic feel of a flatbottom controller.

@StarBoy: I only need one for the SNES and one for the VC, although I have Sonic Chaos and Sonic the Hedgehog. Hmmm

At least we're getting notable games for once.

Since I already have SSW for SNES and SESB for VC, I won't bother with SROTJ

@LegendMarioid: If they can just do those games, they'll have completed all the major Nintendo franchises. I'd have to say the easiest would be SMK.

Now to finish all the rest.
