The Nintendo seal of approval dosent mean squat anymore anyway. Wiiware is 98% shovelware as it is, some of the stuff there is just crazy bad. This threshold hasnt stopped these developers so far...

I remember you mentioning that a few times before Kittsy, you must like your tennis then.

I gotta do Chrono Trigger first...

So does the package include game+peripheral+controller+jacket, or just game+peripheral+jacket?

Gah, Pac-mans a terrible character.

I also know what I will be doing with my Friday night. Very pleased

Hey, nice job ya did there. Place looks good.

@StarFox, What about all the other awesome Saturn games like Nights, Sega Rally, Burning Rangers, X-men vs Street Fighter, Panzer Dragoon, VIRTUA FIGHTER 2! ect... I know theres loads more I cant think of right now, my mate had a Saturn and it was a fantastic console.

Yes!!! Zombies ate my neighboors and pro wrestling are both being released 1st April!!! Honest!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG MAJORA'S MASK!

/Capslock freakout

Nothing wrong with your memory KeeperBvK. There hasnt been anything I even considered donloading since I downloaded Mayhem in Monsterland back 17th October! O_o But this would be something I would splash the euro on here.
I would be a quality over quantity man myself.

Nice. Soon as I get sorted with some broadband, I'l download this little baby

@Viral: WISE FWOM TEH GWAVE!!!

/Love it

I moved out of my old house three months ago. I have been living without a broadband connection in my new home now for that time, still monitering this site from work. In that time....... NOTHING has been released for VC to make me miss my Wii being online. But these last few weeks have been particularly poor. Sigh, I live in hope for Revenge of Shinobi...

Which Wonder boy game was on C64?

Wow, John was really young when they coded Mayhem and creatures then. This is great stuff though. Feel a bit sorry for the Americans, C64 games were coded by love, it was just a differant time I guess. Rowlands games especially, I'd say if they made zero profit from any of their games, they still would have made them, and they would still have been just as awesome.

I never knew I was missing Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix till you mentioned it, now i'm angry.

"Oh sorry, I didnt have time to get to the gym, so I thought I'd sculpt my guns here on the street. I think it's really starting to pay off."

That nunchuk is way too phallic for my liking.

I wet my pants for a split second when I confused Forgotten worlds with Another world. Moving on...

Yeah..... I already have a controller.

Aha! The Euros win again! Fantastic stuff here tonite
Ya know, despite gaming for over 15 years, Iv never once played a mega-man game. Is that strange?

Well I guess ye can console yerselves with secret of mana. It will be of some comfort to ye at least.

@Betagam7..hmmm, its kinda hard to remember stuff from when your 11. But I still have my C64 at home, and its definitly got a keyboard. Got the C64, tape deck and power supply. But other leads, joysticks and all games were lost somewhere along the way. Maybe he was rippin me off, but it didnt matter at the time. It was the only shop in town selling the C64.

Yeah, Im pretty sure I remember those prices. £4.50 to £5 for a cassette, and around £12 for a cartridge. The shop I used to buy them in wasnt a chain or anything, it was just some guys corner shop, so he probly addded on a £1 or 50p more say. I never got any game in the bigger case you mentioned though.

@Betagam7, Also, lets not forget, we dont have to sit through loading times on the VC!!!! Thats so important with the C64 games and makes it totaly worth any meagre price differance.

As I recall, C64 games in Ireland were five pounds. Thats not budget titles now, thats the good stuff like creatures and last ninja titles (on tape). Translate that to 6.35 euros today (not counting inflation) and whats the problem? This is a freakin bargain right here!!

"There was no way it deserved 100%, no game does and personally I don't think Mayhem in Monsterland is the greatest C64 game of all time. It doesn't stop it being a good game, it just forces people to look for faults."

@ Mr.64.... true, true. As much as I love (and I mean heart and soul LOVE!) MiM, no, it didnt deserve 100% Those faults you mentioned people will look for?

1. Insane difficulty, I only made it to level4 once!
2. Falling into a bottemless pit is the cheapest, most frustrationg way to die. And it happens a lot in this game.
3. The bug which resets your lives to one if you collect over 10.
   That last ones a b£$%^&d.
   Despite these, If I was to review it myself, it would be getting 96%-98%, its still a freakin awesome game.

@Betagam7, as far as Im aware, MiM is indeed, the only game ever to recieve a 100% score. Post a link to the super mario all stars review and Ill retract that statement, apolagise, and only ever refer to you as Master Betagam7, lol! Also, I 10/10 scores dont count, 100s of games have recieved a 10/10 score over the years.

@Mr.Cheez, I prefer the term.... inspired! This game is definitly worthy of your 500 points and time. Make sure and download whenever the states get it.

@Clayfrd, obviously never had a C64 when you were small.

@soniczelda dude, you wouldnt spend a £5 on the only game in gaming history to ever recieve a perfect 100% score in an established gaming magazine? You would not be curious at all as to how that would play? Your crazy. Everybody should buy this, its an amazing piece of software. Created by pure love.

Oh, but whatever you do, dont try and collect more than 10lives........ or youl know all about it!! Ha ha!

Man, I still cant believe this. I opened VC review just before I left work tonite at 12:30 and saw this. My jaw just dropped, couldnt even scroll down for about five seconds. MiM is just such an awesome game, cant wait to download. Had it for the C64 when it was released, but could never make it past level four!!! :/ I remember just sitting, listening to the music when I was small. I hope its still as sweet as I remember.
Im picked a bad time to switch credit cards, waiting for the new one to arrive means I havent been able to buy any Wii points for three weeks!! And we have had quite a good haul recently (I havent even downloaded mega-man9 yet ffs!!!) but I think Ill just feck off into town in the morning and buy some the old fashioned way. I cant understand why other posters arent more excited about this release, Mayhem is an AWESOME GAME!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!
I guess its just a younger crowd here tonite

Im honestly just not ready for secret of mana to be released in Europe yet. I still have to DL shining force II, bloody well cant get anything done with all these games.

I guess wer getting all these great VC games at the moment because there are no big Wii releses right now? Hey, Im not complaining!

Holy Jesus its wizball! I mean, holy crap! This is big.

Un-flippin-believeable!!! What a fantastic update! Two very very quality titles from my childhood back for me to enjoy all over again, DL ASAP!!!! Or as the man would say himself: "Groovy!"

I feel like the clouds have parted, and a beam of light has shone directly on my person.

Sweet, New Zealand story. I loved that game on C64.

Well I would expect the 500th release to be something like chrono trigger, mario kart, majoras mask, yoshis island or similar.

You can expect Chrono Trigger some time around the 500th VC release.

THATS the street fighter I grew up with.

Yikes! That thing looks awful! Ill stick with my CC thanks

I remember playing the hell outta boulder dash on my C64, its one awesome puzzler! And sweet, more sonic too

Well, its all over. Smithy is defeated and SMRPG is finished. sad face indeed I really wanted this game to keep going. There is still some loose ends to tie up of coarse, gotta plant that seed, find those other two flags, find the better weapons. And Im sure theres a ton more that I missed. I dont think there will ever be as epic a release as SMRPG on VC again I think Im going to cry.

You know what I have found strange about SMRPG? Smithy. We never see him, or know anything about him really. Not till we get to the final fight anyway. I assume Im at the final fight, in the factory. Unless something happens after that. In which case, dont tell me! I mean, you dont even know what he looks like till you meet him? Anyone else find that strange?
Also, why have we never heard from Geno or Mallow or any of the other characters in the SMRPG universe since? Wouldnt Geno have been a much better addition to the new mario kart then piranaha plant, Boo, or (shudder) Waluigi?

Dont really care for mario party. Still lovin RPG! I think I mite cry when I reach the end of this game knowing that there will never be another. I just LOL'd a half hour ago when mario was pretendin to be a statue! This game is too fuuny!

So the townspeople asked the Belmonts to leave the country of Europe then? Ok so, all your countrys belong to us!!!one!

Ah, I never noticed that little grey exclamation mark before...

@Stuffgamer1. Aye, it really was all that waiting for nothing. A big fat nothing
For sale: one copy of SSBB, $0.10c or nearest offer. In good condition save for being stomped on a few times. But it deserved it.

@Badknux. Dont get me wrong, I like the Smash Bros series, I played the hell out of melee, loved it. But SSBB was just awful for me That freakin sub space rubbish just broke my heart, the characters are just not designed to be played like in a platformer. For me it was an endless holding of right until I got to the next section where I did exactly the same thing again. Last thing I did was unlock Sonic, he controlled like a dingus so I quit. I was disgusted, I had looked forward to that game for so long.

"Yep good ol' Captain Falcon, even though he's the worst character in brawl I still main him and even win most matches that arn't against the ridiculously overpowered Snake and Metaknight ( friendly challenge going out to anyone interested)"

What? People are still playing Brawl? I played it for a week when I got it. Now it gathers dust. I though it was terrible :/
