Well look on the bright side, if it doesnt come out Friday, that means that its definately coming next Friday!

You know theres probably hope for this one. I think the whole launching with a fishing game might've just left a bad taste in some peoples mouth but I could see this faring better.

@WolfLink

I'm sorry but I still don't see it. The Japanese release being close to its 10th Anniversary could've been mere coincidence and I seriously wish it didn't line up that way so that there wouldn't be people exploding about it not coming today.

Also, did anyone notice that Clubhouse Games Express here is rated T? The original game was rated E! What changed?

@wolflink

I think you're overreacting a little there. Its not really rude at all and noone deserves to be fired over this. It may be a bit of a downer that it didn't happen but its not the worst thing ever.

Shouldn't Dragon Quest Monsters be classified as a GBC game? I was under the impression you weren't going to count hybrid cartridges.

I'm a little surprised Chicago was left IN. It seemed to me that Nintendo was leaving it out of some of its more recent tours.

Spin it boys!

I seriously doubt that's the full VC list for May
Well...of course it isnt! Since they've been keeping all of Namco's Arcade releases a surprise until the week before.

I suppose if the next week is any indication they may be ramping up the number of those coming out each week.

They did merge both parts into one for a single 800 point release for outside of Japan but they were paying for two seperate 600 point releases to get the full experience.

So after all this time, SimEarth is FINALLY coming out somewhere.

Well played 2007 NP issue...well played...

Im so confused here guys. The Crystal Defenders on 360 has 12 maps but R1 ALONE has 13 DIFFERENT maps? Is this right? Wouldn't that mean that we're not really getting a bum deal even if R1 is mostly an extended tutorial?

VC=mega fail, imo. I think everybody hear needs to contact Nintendo with a full comparison list of NA's Shop Channel release and Japan's this week, asking what the heck's going on already! Two games here versus six there is just plain WRONG!

Holy moly moly! No way! Mega Fail? Is this sarcasm? That is WAY too harsh. We're going at a slow pace sure but at least we have a pace going! Do I have to point out the PSOne Classics again? The discrepency between Japan and everywhere else is far far far larger then for VC. JP gets PS1 updates frequently and we hardly get additions to that at all. In fact I think its been 4 and a half months since the thing was last updated for NA. Would you rather have 4 and a half months of one game a week or 4 and a half months of ZERO games a week? It may not look it but VC is really better off.

In any case, repeated weeks of only 1 VC and 1 WW in NA or anywhere is unacceptable.
On the contrary, I think we're lucky to be getting at least one update to either category on a regularly scheduled basis.

Did somebody say AGENTS?

If it makes anyone feel better, Japan is only getting 2 VC games on the 28th.

First hunch says Secret Command on Monday. Though I'm sure Tower Toppler and Space Harrier are going to be our next C64 and VCA games respectively.

even massive Pokémon fans should approach this with trepidation.

I dunno, all the massive Pokefans I know love this game.

A Suda game scoring less then 11/10?

This is just a Sanity Effect right?

You know, their E3 2008 show wasn't best of the best but I never really had a problem with it..

I hate games like this. Mostly because of the polarizing opinions this is going to give now. Corbie's review shows that he didn't have fun with it but IGN's review shows that its possible for people to have fun with it. So therefore, I determine that this isn't a bad game, just one Corbie didn't like.

Apparently,Nintendo of America dosen't care about releasing their N64 games

I'm inclined to believe the reports that NCL calls the VC Shots for every region. So even if NoA wants to, if its not in NCL's grand plan, they probably can't do it.

What is that, a Triple Negative?

Well wait a minute here....does this mean Blizzard is on board too?
...Lost Vikings now a possibility?

Pitfall came out of nowhere, and I actually love weeks that do that. As for MM, I'm not mad at all for it not being out yet, but I have to say, the sooner we can eradicate all the complaints about it being missing the better...

Oh great, just what we need, more "CORBIE ONLY GIVES SEVENS" jokes!

BTW does anyone know why this is published by Square Enix and not Taito?

Square owns Taito

Well I liked it...

With all the talk recently of NCL being the ones who decide what comes out....its still possible thats true. NoA having to ask NCL if its cool with them if they can have Fatal Frame 4 over for dinner. NCL says "No, youre grounded. You can't have friends over." NoA relaying that message back to Tecmo. Then they trade desserts the next day at lunchtime.

Im confused about that last point. Only open a month? It started in November/December didn't it? 50 games? Thats a little more then whats there but I guess I would've rounded down instead of up. Unless MY counting is off.

Oh Drake, one day you'll learn the true meaning of Release Dates!

The US got Brawl in April,
We got Brawl in March.

This one covers Majora's Mask VC so its relevant.

True, True, a part of me kinda thinks they might put the Nintendo Download PR out twice a week or that it might list what DSiWare games would come out later in that week or something. A part of me is also wondering if DSiWare will be weekly. But we'll see soon enough!

I'm a little anxious for next week or so. I want to see if the NA and EU/AU DSiWare Update Days Match our Wii Shop Update days. And hopefully there won't be any discrepencies with the games released between EU and AU DSiWare either!

who'd have thought that Touch! Generations would come to DSiWare?

Elite Beat Agents Express...I can see it now!

Why am I getting deja vu?

No news story on Family Love Experience?

I have to say I like how VC-R and WWW are now just a TAB away.

Man, it was so great to see things completely turn around for this game! I hope the joy spreads!

Zombies ate my Neighbors falls in the "LucasArts doesn't like digital distribution" category last I heard.

I don't understand Professor. Why are we going to help solve a bonsai dispute?

@KnucklesSonic
I think we got a lot going for us right now with 2 new platforms waiting to leak their games out. The signs all seem to add up! I'm almost certain we're gonna get a Genesis Import Day in April too. We just happened to get stuck in a transitional period between the Arcade Games and the DSi, but the wait until next week to confirm this is just going to be killing me!

@chunky
I think Mode7's been taken care of already unless theres some glitches in games like F-Zero, Castlevania 4, and Actraiser that I don't know about

The Operations Guide does give credit to Nintendo crew members, like Iwata, so I imagine they did more then just greenlight the title.

Thats refreshing to hear that someone likes it!

Judging by the Operations Manual it sounds like they packed it with a lot more rewards or collectibles or whatever then you'd expect from a game like this. Awards? Gifts? Photographs? Newspaper Clippings? Wow!

Ah Noby Noby Boy. The novelty of being able to eat your own butt will never wear off.

Hmmm, I'm pretty bad at reviewing myself but you could probably beat Katamari in a weekend or less if all you do is just play it normally. But thats where the replay value kicks in! Its fun to try and go back and beat your previous "score" and at the same time trying to impress your father. As you'd expect from something like this there is a lot of junk to find like other playable characters or presents to decorate yourself with, most of which, by the way, look different on each of the playable characters.

Theres no way that half-excuse for a blurb can do the game justice though.

Oh sure none of those sound fun when you simplify it like that. A lot of people I know still don't want to give Katamari a chance because "what could possibly be fun about rolling stuff up?" And look how well those turned out.

I'm just hoping this game doesn't get some sort of "Everybody avoid this, there is no fun in here. We looked, there were no survivors." summary. I'm really pulling for at least a "Yeah whatever, its alright."

Hang in there guys! I got the feeling this is going to be an Awesome April!

Ah, so you're just as pumped for Gardening Mama as I am?

So does that mean it has the Corbie Seal of Approval?
