The Genesis version was more true to the pen and paper game(and to me more fun!), but I have to admit I replay this game every year or so. Odd thing is, I always forget the solutions to some of the puzzles, so it's like playing the first time everytime. Aside from Earthbound, Chronotrigger, and a couple of FF games, these games are the only ones I really look forward to being released on VC one day.
There's nothing requiring anyone to buy this at all. I think it's great the way it is, and I'm thankful that S-E has given me the option of downloading additional content for the game. As many terrible Wiiware games as there are, any rpg fans out there should be super happy with this. Otherwise, go back to your Major League Eating and your Silver Star Reversi.
I really like the episodic release pattern with this. I hope S-E does more sequels to classic games in a similar fashion. $37 is perfectly reasonable for this. I paid more for the original when it was released, Now if only there were a way for Sierra to port their old Quest games...
Nintendo has really stepped up the last few weeks. They should top it off by adding the SGEN version of Shadowrun. Add that to the Phantasy Stars and Shining Forces and I wouldn't need my Genesis anymore!

Re: Mad Dog McCree Coming To The Wii?
McCree was at least better than Revolution X!
And Stardust, the movie was Witness.

Re: Review: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (SNES)
Great game...but what are the chances of the Snes or SGEN versions of Shadowrun coming out?
