OOOooooo. Very nice. Look forward to see more of this. I agree w/ Stevie, looks similar to LostWinds.

Niccccce.

@Bahamut: Agreed.

@odd69: Yeah, I agree, some new DLC for Zelda or Mario would be sweet. Like maybe new characters, such as Wario or Yoshi, much like the SM64 DS?

@ejamer: Personally I know that are already out in UK that I know I'd love, such as Bubble Bobble- so it's frustrating to see such games as Cocoto and Penguins when I think I'd enjoy some of the others more. And yes, I feel very cool bashing Nintendo hehe. I'm quite the fanboy of Nintendo anyway, and still have a lot of great games. They're just slowing down a bit imo.

@Syr: Actually, I think the best thing you can do if you already have a Wii is get a 360. There are a lot of great games for download there, and you'd have the best of both worlds. I've been really enjoying Castle Crashers and the Ninja Turtle 1989 Arcade. I wouldn't say abandon Wii completely though. There's a lot to look forward to.

This makes me smile. But just watch it release in Europe, and somehow never show up here.

Back when N. America was getting good games, I was dishing out a lot of money to Nintendo. I've stopped downloading because everything they're releasing now is complete s**t. Where's Bubble Bobble? Adventure Island? These are must haves. What is the UK missing out on? Cocoto Platform Jumper, Penguins & Friends, and Bonsai Barber? C'mon.

Though I must say UK needs Gradius Rebirth, not sure what the deal is there. Maybe we can trade so I can experience Bubble Bobble?

EDIT: I'd like to make a note that all my money recently has been dedicated to XBLA. Eat that Nintendo.

I'm so glad they're using the original art style and not the new one. I'm psyched! I'll be downloading this on XBLA though- I assume it'd be high definition and I love achievements. Plus it'd fit in with the original arcade which is also available.

MVC2 HD Remix is a real possibilty. I'm crossing my fingers, and until it shows up, I'll be on SF2 HDR.

I mean, I'm excited too, but how do we know what this is all about with a teaser image lol? Everyone all like "I WANT THIS" and the image is only a teaser hehe. I'm sure it'll be another great title though.

I'm playing through the original on 360 now. So far I'm having a blast. Hope this is decent, though I doubt I'll get it. I don't think rail shooters can give as satisfying an experience.

Forget Explodemon and Cave Story. This is the s**t.

Not a big fan of the art direction in this game- but the gameplay looks fun as hell! Looking forward to trying it out.

I'm seeing these past few weeks as an oppurtunity to catch up on some of the other games I've missed. I'm still disappointed, but there's other great games out I still need to try.

Yes, I agree this deserves a 10- Imo, the best DS game I own. It tops Zelda: PH and New SMB. The dialogue is quit humorous in this game too. "Wanna piece of my pie?"

A downloadable manga? That's a first, but it'd never catch on here (thank god). I'm not sure why Mappy costs more there, 500 points was perfect for such an ancient VCA title.

This versus Lords of Thunder? I'm debating which to download..

I'm surprised there are no comments on this title by now, considering the high score. I'm thinking about trying this out- I've already worn out Contra 3 and Metal Slug.

Contra ReBirth would be nice. But I wouldn't wait for such a release. Just go play some Contra 4.

Can't wait for Life Force ReBirth! This is what I actually wanted when downloading Gradius! We need a new co-op shooter.

Yeah the Angry Beavers were so awesome. I miss Dagg.

Yeah this is really pissing me off. Where's our Bubble Bobble? Cave Story? Majora's Mask? Swords and Soldiers? Seriously WTF.

Yes, this one is better than Ocarina imo. So colorful! And I love playing as Goron Link! Rolling in that form at top speed is faster than the horse.

OMG The dialogue LOLOLOL. This looks INSANE! And yes, it looks like Megaman defeated Iron Man and stole his power.

I'm with Mayhem, not a big RTS fan. However, I think this one looks to be a must-have. I need all the good multiplayer games I can get my hands on. I love how the ground shakes during battle, nice touch. And the dwarve/viking dudes are funny hehe.

@KDR_11k: Dude, you're right! The image up top in the article shows bullet holes instead, but the videos show the logo with the ninja stars!

The game looks really fun! I wonder how long it will be. Is this really comparable to Lost Winds? I haven't played that one either.

God. Now this should've been an April Fool's joke.

I think I'm gonna download this.

This better not be an April 1st joke! This is AWESOME! And there's a forum! I feel like a kid with a brand-new playground!

Anyone remember Qix?

EDIT: I just found that it was Super Qix I used to play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=entXa58aG9U

This game would rock on VC! Also, I'd be in shock if anyone else has ever played Michael Jackson's Moonwalker on the arcade. If I remember correctly it was a really fun game!

lol @ TRON.

Marvel vs. Capcom!!!

Majora's Mask- NOW. I'm salivating.

@Neomega: Good one hehe.

Woot! What a great list. Except you, My Aquarium. F*** you.

I was never a big fan of the rubber condoms that go on the Wiimotes. I don't use protection when handling my Wii. But yes, can't wait for motion-plus; however I haven't seen any games I'd really be interested in yet.

This game ROCKS. I downloaded yesterday and it's so addictive. 8/10 for me- a great pick-up and play.

I hope it's a direct sequel to PH. As much as I like the old school buttons, I thought the touch controls were superior. That's imo, of course.

@Nintendo-Naut: I've lost my data too before. Had to pay the big N about $80 to repair my Wii. I would've gotten a new one, but unfortuantely the VC and WW games downloaded can't be recovered on another console... Sigh.

I'm thoroughly pleased. After having bought a 4gb SDHC, and finding that it didn't work, I went back and got a standard 2gb SD. So now that the HC ones work, that gives me a good 6gb to work from. Nice.

@wanderlustwarrior: You're right! I'm stoked! FINALLY! And they announced "Virtual Console Arcade"!

Great game- great vid. Has anyone managed to beat Growth??

It'd be cool to have one of those Super Muncher games. But we're not 6, sooo. But those were fun.

@Brutus: Good call! Deathmatch hahaha!

No to Onslaught. If I could somehow "give" you my file, I would. It's a great idea, but you're better off playing another FPS. Like Counterstrike or Left 4 Dead or TF2 or COD or Halo or- just pretty much any popular FPS. Much more worth your money. IMO

@Shadx: Is that a squidbillies-style reference? The "Backloggery"?

And it's a good thing imo. The sooner everyone owns a Wii, the sooner we'll see the next generation.

For those of you that think "Descent" is hard- wait til you try "Growth".

Muhahahahaha.

I'm surprised none of the EU guys have complained it's not "ColourZ" hehe.

Go ahead and make fun of me, but I mentioned my status on this game earlier. I have nothing better to do at work. (Except work)

@CommanderVideo: I'm glad you mentioned the soundtrack- I was just searching for that moments ago. No rush, if I want to hear the tracks I can just play the game. But that would be a nice addition.

And I don't want to jump the gun or anything, but have you guys started working on any other Bit.Trip installments?

I AM A BIT.TRIP.BELIEVER.

Great review- dead on.

Sigh
