Already have Diner Dash on Xbox 360. Very addictive!

I take it that at the developer's base there were lots of lads and lasses there, all with smiling faces
Going along the Scotswood Road to see the Blaydon Races

I'd rather it be a sequel as well. Luigi's Mansion was fun, but it was far too short, so I probably wouldn't buy it as an NPC title.

@Chibi Link

APPLAUSE

@Boonehams Alex Kidd is already confirmed

@KeeperBvK - it was released in Europe in 1991, so chances are it will be the PAL version if it comes on VC over here.

I'll stick with the XBLA version thanks

Now come on Nintendo. Don't disappoint us. Release ZAMN in Europe on Friday!

I think the voice of the Whose Line legend Greg Proops adds a certain charm to the game

I hope Midway also jumps on the bandwagon and releases some arcade classics such as Joust, Centipede, Defender, Mortal Kombat etc.

Four Ecks and Fosters are brands of lager only sold in the UK because the Aussies throw it away

Can we have Aerobiz Supersonic, Koei? Pretty please?

@ Tragickingdom, Its alternative name is St. Stephen's Day

But yeah, I'll wait until Boxing Day itself to find out for sure...

Koei never released any games in Europe before PlayStation I don't think...

Woo-hoo! Kunio-kun Soccer!

He only talks about N64 titles! What an ignoranus! (sic)

Axelay is available in a PAL region... just it ain't us in Europe. I think we got Probotector II that week and Australia got Axelay

Yeah, but sadly not for this Hanabi festival...

All the Hanabi games this time round will all be Sega or Hudson Soft games, so expect plenty of Mega Drive and Turbografx/PC Engine games... and maybe DoReMi Fantasy for the SNES?

Legend! It's finally on the way!

Me. Want. Too!

Chilli chowder! Crouton crouton - crunchy friends in a liquid broth!

I remember when Noel Fielding was on Buzzcocks the first time (not as a guest captain deputising for Bill Bailey, but as a panellist), he was really funny

Mind you, Buzzcocks will be iPlayer gold as well!

Both Uridium and IK are up

Is it going to be one a year from Square-Enix?

You get what you pay for, 2097

Most of the Alex Kidd series. The original (and best) - Alex Kidd in Miracle World - was the built in-game for the Master System in Europe from 1990 onwards.

Not really. Still sounds brilliant though! ^.^;;

STOP PRESS!

We have Metroid (NES) as well!

This was better than the original Street Fighter II because it fixed the speed problems. Now we in Europe play the waiting game...

BoF II has also been rated by PEGI. That means the game is coming to Europe sometime in the near future. The game has been given an age rating of 7+.

The original was never released on the SNES in Europe, and even Capcom didn't release it in the States! Squaresoft published it in the US instead!

Super R-TYPE isn't a port. It's an entirely new R-TYPE game developed for the SNES that happens to borrow elements from previous games in the series. It did suffer badly from slowdown issues though, as did many early scrolling shoot-'em-ups on the SNES, Gradius III being a prime example. But it's not a bad shooter at all
