I call foul on this release. Sure you have Star Tropics but this is ridicules. Shape up Nintendo! What's your New Year's resolution? Two games a week (if that) and maybe one good one?
Bass X - Ah, I remember that week... That was my second download. It was right after I noticed this site and the decision was instantaneous. I love that game. I just sit there and stare at the screen in awe. Ah, big screen Civ... how I love thee.
I will say I'm not currently interested in these two games but I am happy for the many many people who are finally getting them. I know they've been highly requested games for some time now.
Disappointing but at least it was a quality game. They should have put a few fringe games on though. That would have lessened the impact on HM being the only game.
Well, sorry that all of you are satisfied with a few good releases in an entire year. Yes, I downloaded about five games this year. However, at the prices Nintendo charges (low ones) I should have been compelled to buy more. I am disappointed that our New Year's Eve download included the equivalent of Street Fighter 2 instead of Super Street Fighter 2' Turbo Hyper Fighting something or other. I love Bubble Bobble. But there are later versions I love more. All I ask for is Nintendo to release one non-fringe game EVERY week, not some, I won't argue that we never got quality games, I want one EVERY week this coming year. If they switch to more than 3 releases a week, which makes more sense, especially from a business point of view, I'd be happy with that too. At least then I get more of a variety to choose from. With the amount of consoles we have available now, giving us 3 games is stupid and selfish. That is what I call mediocrity and I hope it ceases to exist in 2008.
Okay, if it was Puzzle Bobble or Bust-A-Move, I wouldn't complain. But here's a quote I'd love to hear from Nintendo today:
"We hope you loved mediocrity on the Virtual Console this year. We know we did! However, we thought the blandness had to stop eventually, so our New Year's resolution is to release at least one game every week that more than 20% of the population downloading VC titles will like. We're going to start off with a REAL New Years treat next week instead of that dinosaur game and the fake RPG we gave you New Year's Eve."
chadnorred, it's actually not possible to beat it as Frog Mario as there is a small castle which requires you to either be small Mario or do the run/slide as big Mario. Sad, but hey, that's practically the end of the game.
Lame... as usual. Glad I just got LEGO Star Wars for the Wii. And still haven't gotten bored with SIN AND PUNISHMENT YAY! Jeez, how about all the real classic games Nintendo? Give us a break with all the fringe games. If this keeps up, I expect to see nonsense like Bubble Bath Babes before the real games start showing up...

Oh yeah, I've been holding off on SF just for this one. Can't wait for some reciprocation here... Share the love Nintendo.
