A very worthwhile download if open-ended sims is your thing. Though I prefer the new Harvest Moon games with the new features, this is a pure classic and a welcome addition to the VC.
Ecco puzzles me, literally AND metaphorically. The idea is good but I agree with Damien. The difficulty is too unbalanced. And from when I saw the description, I thought the game was a simulation for kids. Still a worthwhile buy, so long as you like the genre.
I dunno... for me, the DKC charm is still there, but it's missing something. I don't know what, though. A good game nonetheless, but for a reason beyond my mind, not as magical as the first one. (music?)
Seriously though, I hardly count this as a storage solution. I'd say it's more of a small patch to the problem so that Nintendo has more time to develop a proper one. And the time it shows up here is ridiculous anyway! The idea is excellent, and I am not intending to mock the update, but calling it a 'storage solution' is an insult to technology! Honestly Nintendo, don't over-accredit yourself on this one.
Addictive. That pretty much sums up this classic puzzler / stradegy game. My parents used to play this night after night on the NES, and I think, if I dedicated enough time to it, I might get addicted too.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. Come to think of it, single player gets repetitive after a while...
This game is excellent. The gameplay is top-notch and nothing like other baseball title even by today's standards. I personally couldn't find much depth, though.
Sadly, due to storage limitations, this one is off the mini-fridge until Nintendo announce a storage solution (not the cheap excuse announced at the Tokyo Games Show).
Excellent game, though I'm not much of a fan of the puzzle genre. Good timing, because my old NES is not compatible with my TV anymore Can't wait for #3 to come out!
