A great, well-written review like always, Corbie. I've been waiting for this game for quite a while---had the 500 points and a reserved spot with my other NES downloads. Glad to see it finally filled. If only I could say the same for Pro Wrestling............
Yeah, I'd rather have a game that is short that is fun to replay again and again than a game that is long but is dull to get to the end. I won't be getting this though. I have limited funds.
I rented this one. I still remember one of the later levels using Mode 7 to great effect. You were in orbit above a planet, and as you pregressed, the planet slowly grew and rotated, until you broke the atmosphere. It was breathtaking at that time---but I'm not sure it'd be impressive today. (I haven't played the game in over 15 years!)
Funny, people here seem to be happy with this reward----like me. But on other sites, but are REALLY complaining about it. Can't make some people happy, huh?
For me, it's still a toss-up between Kirby's Adventure and this for which is the best in the series. But they're both fantastic. If you haven't played it, why are you reading this? Go download it now!
Well, you can't really go to the store and buy a fireplace... But still, who would buy this? Plus, I bet this is gonna cost 500 points. what a waste...
When I was younger, I beat Bionic Commando with just one hand. (Right hand---a finger for each button and a finger and thumb for the D-Pad.) But, that was nowhere near this challenge. Good show!
Yeah. A lot of people are too hard on MM4. Personally, it's one of my favorites. (Although to some people, my opinion probably doesn't count because I also like MM7!) But MM2 will always be my favorite.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: World Heroes 2

Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - July 2010
Gee...maybe since they've never bothered to release World Heroes 2 yet, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll just skip right to Perfect!

Re: Review: Kirby Super Star (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
For me, it's still a toss-up between Kirby's Adventure and this for which is the best in the series. But they're both fantastic. If you haven't played it, why are you reading this? Go download it now!
Re: Complete Your Living Room: My Fireplace Stoking up WiiWare
"Why don't you get a real fireplace?"
Well, you can't really go to the store and buy a fireplace...

Re: Dedicated Castlevania Fan Beats NES Version With Dance Mat
When I was younger, I beat Bionic Commando with just one hand. (Right hand---a finger for each button and a finger and thumb for the D-Pad.)
But, that was nowhere near this challenge. Good show!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April 2010 (Europe)
Very surprised that Nintendo didn't use "Drill Man and Mr. Driller" in the title this week!
Re: Select Downloadable Games Available for Purchase on Nintendo's Web Site
Seems pointless to me, too. I'll just spend the leftover points anyway.
