All right, nobody else took care of this? I guess I will...
Awhile back someone asked about F-Zero being listed as coming out on 11/19/08? I think you answered your own question. Its just a slip on Nintendo's part. When they were enterting dates they accidently listed F-Zero as 08 instead of 06.
This isnt the first time it happened, Ghouls N Ghosts was listed as 08 when it really came out last year. Its nothing more then a slip up, they dont think the game is coming out anytime soon.
Which brings me to my ONLY dislike about the Nintendo Channel, the extreme lack of VC updates. At least over here anyway...we've had the same list of games since the channel launched and even then it wasnt up to date! The only time it DID update was for SMRPG.How am I supposed to rate my experience with Renegade now?!
or are hinting that it's coming to NA next week. The Nintendo Channel's had a pretty good streak for upcoming WiiWare games before and according to that, it WILL be out Monday.
The main reason I think we havent got it yet is so that Nintendo could spotlight the Art Style games. Now that theyre over with for now, I expect the game is just around the corner.
If anyone cares, this has been confirmed via Nintendo Channel for 11/10/08 for 1,000 points. Which I kindve expected given thats the price it is on XBLA.
ya but i mean come on ESRB already rated it and stuff so it should be out soon right?
Vectorman took about a year and a half between its ESRB rating and its release. ESRB never guarentees it'll be out soon but it DOES confirm that itll be out eventually!
Ah come on guys, youre better off wishing it would come out. Think of it this way, you wont have to dread it coming anymore afterwards. Its got to come out at some point and as it is now, things cant get any worse then that.
Well maybe Im not explaining my point well but hopefully its in there somewhere.
Alien Crush seems really unlikely about releasing Monday in North America right now. Strong bad 3 has already been confirmed and I doubt Nintendo will go back on their word to release two Art Styles in October so Rotohex will have to be it.
The only way I can see it happening is if Rothex surprisingly DOESNT come out or if theres THREE WiiWare games released on Monday.
Its all part the plan. Being that MaBoShi comes from Nintendo and being that the Art Style games come from Nintendo and being that the Art Style games are already taking up TWO of the Four weeks in October, Nintendo doesnt want to be a WiiWare hog, or something like that.
Id expect MaBoShi in November if they havent announced anymore Art Style games.
I think one of the releases this week may make it to the list next week. Groovin Blocks didnt get up there its first week but then it jumped up like 10 places.
I think the collective power of people who would burn down Nintendo headquarters if they didnt get Shining Force 2 caused this switch.
Though yeah, I secretly didnt think the month would open with Turbografx Imports so I was kinda worried for Hudson all weekend.
At this point though, I say we form a party and go on a 50 hour quest to find out who the hell keeps feeding Hudson the wrong dates. Im not buying into that "Theyre doing it to discourage early release dates" paranoia!
The idea is that it helps Nintendo keep VC going as long as they can before they run out of all available games. Because if they kept up with the 3 games a week schedule, perhaps all things considering they couldve run out of all the games they get ahold of near the end of 2009 or etc. and lets say the Wii dies out in 2012 or etc.
I mean, I know theres enough on all currently VC supported to keep the thing alive for many years, even at 3 games a week, but not all are going to be easily available to put up on the service.
I really dont care how many games we get as long as we get something. And for it to be something highly regarded like Super Turrican 2 just makes it all the better. Its a shame though some people feel quantity should have priority over quality...
So two more Nintendo games next month apart from MaBoShi?
Im with you here! Maybe if next month is filled with Double WiiWare Releases it has a greater chance. That way it would look less like Nintendo has taken over 3 of the 4 October slots.
MaBoShi getting a NA release and the fate of the other 4 bit Generations are big questions on my mind right now.
Yeah Im hoping maybe they'll either WiiWare it or maybe just go ahead release it as a NeoGeo VC game anyway. Somehow. Would 6 have been possible on NeoGeo?
If it werent for that damn 6 I wouldnt be on the fence about Anthology vs VC!
I do hope you hve to suffer a 2 weeks without Mega Man 9 because, you already have two great games we don't have: Maboshi and Bomberman, not to mention you had the mega mans before us, I want to see how bad karma is to you
....Why would you want this? I wouldnt wish any region to be deprived of a game for silly reasons like that.
Everyone just needs to accept the flop, and move on.
If I accepted "flops" I wouldnt have bought and enjoyed games like Geist or Soul Calibur Legends or Grabbed by the Ghoulies or Shadow the Hedgehog or pretty much every other Sonic game that everyone likes to hate.
the Elite Beat Agents prequels OUEEEEEENNNNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
A "prequel" and a "sequel" would work better.
Please tell me you were so godly impressed by them that you imported them hader then anything youve ever bought in your entire life. When you hit that "Purchase" button your computer will explode. Then reassemble itself in a matter of minutes. Thats how badass it is.
I'm rather surprised that they're bringing this second episode out so quickly.
Its been a little over a month since the last one, just as planned. So time is just passing too fast for you. Maybe you should stop having so much fun!
Also how positive are we that Potpourii is coming Monday? The fact that it was confirmed earlier then we usually get WiiWare confirmations threw me off and I figured the developer was just assuming it was coming Monday.

Re: Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 Coming To US WiiWare On Monday
I wouldnt say that Part 4 is too soon but Part 3 seemed to have come a little late.
Re: USA VC Update: Mega Man 3
I wouldnt expect Dragon Warrior 4 for a long while. Or FF2 and 3. Or FF4 and 6, just to cover all the bases.

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Alien Crush Returns and Home Sweet Home
Dear Nintendo,
Where is MaBoShi?

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Tetris Party, The Incredible Maze and Home Sweet Home
Instead of trying to release strongbad to scheldule worldwide, you decided to just focus on the US again
Isnt the PC version worldwide?
Re: USA VC Releases: Gradius II and Digital Champ
I hope Metal Slug 2 gets released in Japan tomorrow.
From the looks of things, Metal Slug 2 will be released in Japan NEXT week.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
I can't find Tetris on my wii ware...what am I doing wrong?
Checking too early. Wii Shop updates at 9AM PST/Noon EST.
Re: Tetris Party Released On WiiWare In Japan
Strong Bad and Tetris Party on the 20th.
Rotohex and Alien Crush on the 27th.
My prophecies are never wrong.
Except when they are...

Re: Review: World of Goo (WiiWare)
Woah Corbie has a Mac? Is it possible for Corbie to get more awesome?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
WHERE IS MABOSHI IN THE US?!?!?
Its all part the plan. Being that MaBoShi comes from Nintendo and being that the Art Style games come from Nintendo and being that the Art Style games are already taking up TWO of the Four weeks in October, Nintendo doesnt want to be a WiiWare hog, or something like that.
Id expect MaBoShi in November if they havent announced anymore Art Style games.
Re: USA VC Releases: Secret of Mana and Street Fighter II Genesis
Hudson must be fuming now. Are Gradius 2 and Digital champ boxing ever, ever going to come out.
I wouldnt think theyre mad since when they updated their website on Friday they reconfirmed those games for the 20th and not today.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling and Potpourrii
The next European WiiWare update will be Strong Bad 3, Groovin Blocks, and Orbient. I can feel it, just like I felt the cosmos all those years ago.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (8th Oct)
I think one of the releases this week may make it to the list next week. Groovin Blocks didnt get up there its first week but then it jumped up like 10 places.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling And MadStone
When is Tetris attack coming to America on VC? >_<
Probably never unless they alter it to say Yoshi's Puzzle League.
Or maybe they think that because Pokemon Puzzle League has more stuff in it, they dont think people would like a version with less stuff.
Or maybe they'll end up paying whatever money to use the Tetris name after all. Or however it works these days.
Also, I love how white Corbie's setup is. It's like he has a Wii White HD TV.! Which reminds me of the Wii White GC Controller I just imported.
Now I have to import Corbie's Room....
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling And MadStone
MadStone vs Groovin Blocks?
Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II
WuedhcudhahWHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Re: WiiWare Announcement Blowout - Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and More
Im curious what that Billiards game from GameLoft is since they allready have Midnight Pool. Unless its Midnight Pool 2?
Re: World Of Goo Coming To US WiiWare October 13
Well look at that, it IS 1500 points.
Its clear to me now, anything Corbie says is true.
He's like a Crystal Ball.
Re: MadStone Coming To WiiWare On Monday
It depends on what is released for the VC though.
Gradius 2 and Digital Champ.
I was so looking fwd to MaBoShi though,.. This means Late October at the earliest b/c of WoG and the Art Style games.
Id like MaBoShi to come out soon too but something tells me Nintendo isnt going to release 3 WiiWare games from themselves in a month.

Re: What Is The SuperGrafx Console?
Ive seen conflicting reports that only 5 games ever came out for it. Can someone clear this up for me here?
Re: Metal Slug 2
I hope they find a way to make Metal Slug 6 available through the Wii Shop
Re: Helix Coming To Europe This Friday
I do hope you hve to suffer a 2 weeks without Mega Man 9 because, you already have two great games we don't have: Maboshi and Bomberman, not to mention you had the mega mans before us, I want to see how bad karma is to you

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (24th Sept)
Oh Im sure Plattchen or Potpourii wouldve been on the chart if Mega Man 9 didnt exist.
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Dodge Ball and Vectorman
Crack Down and ESWAT come on down!
Re: Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint Going Up Against Mega Man 9
If people stopped criticizing games they've never played, every forum on every gaming site would die in a matter of seconds.
You know at this point...I really wouldn't mind...
Re: PEGI and ESRB Update: Last Ninja 3, Enduro Racer and More
Glad to see the tides turning in favor of Master System. Gaps without hearing much for the Non-Launch VC Systems worry me sometimes.

Re: Gameloft's Brain Challenge Comes To WiiWare
I actually do hope its a sign that theyll bring their mobile ports to Wii!
Although its mostly because they have a Chuck Norris game Id love to play but isnt compatible on my phone.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2
Good game or not, single-game weeks fail at life.
Well no, I think its the that it IS a good game that prevents it from failing....
Re: Review: Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint (WiiWare)
I refuse to think the game can be THIS bad. Just like I did with City Connection and My Pokemon Ranch. And I ended being wrong!
Re: Strong Bad Episode 2 Out This Monday
Im thinking the 22nd will be Plattchen and Mega Man and the 29th will just be Bomberman.
Re: Strong Bad Episode 2 Out This Monday
I'm rather surprised that they're bringing this second episode out so quickly.
Its been a little over a month since the last one, just as planned. So time is just passing too fast for you. Maybe you should stop having so much fun!

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
I hate NOA. T__T
Legend has it, they arent the one pulling all the strings.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
Probable candidates for October! Things are looking up!
...not that they were looking down but now they're up....more!
Re: Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint
Probably the same one Im under.
