Hopefully this, Double Dragon II and any other games that have been announced or rated recently come real soon. The Wii VC is in desperate shape right now.
Really liked the VC games that came out this week. Now I get to play both versions of the exciting game absolutely nothing. Best week ever NOA. Can't get much better than this.
Great list. I've played 6 of those games (hopefully Konami will put Belmont's Revenge on the 3DS VC soon) and they were all great. Here's my top 5 for all consoles.
1. Super Castlevania IV 2. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood 3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 4. Castlevania Rebirth 5. Castlevania III
Well I can say one good thing about the treasure hunting levels, they're a hell of a lot better than those stupid fishing levels from the first game. Those aren't crappy, they're atrocious. Stuff like that shouldn't be a part of the main game.
Anyways, I already said what I would give it today, but if I were to rate it even with rose tinted glasses, I can't give it anything higher than an 8. I liked it more back then, but if it weren't for Chao Garden, if wouldn't have gotten nearly as much playtime as it did.
Radical Highway was one of the better levels in SA2 so that's not too bad, although I wish SEGA would've given the game more classic levels. Shadow's not too bad either but if Silver is in it like SuperSinSlayer said (haven't been really following the news for this one enough so I don't really know) then that's going a bit far.
Back then there wasn't really anything that bothered me about the N64 but nowadays its the graphics. That's a problem with that generation of gaming in general. The graphics have aged poorly (unless the games use sprites and stuff like that). For the N64, it's the fact that all the textures are so blurry.

Re: Super Mario 64
One of the best games on the N64. Hopefully the next 3D Mario game is another openworld one like this one.
Re: Review: 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure (3DSWare)
Kirby's Adventure is a great game but $7 is a bit much, especially if the 3D effects aren't even all that great.
Re: Strider
Looks like this one could finally be released soon.
Re: Rumour: Strider Bound for Wii Virtual Console
Wish it was the arcade version but this is still good news.
Re: Super Street Fighter II with Online Coming Westward Too
Hopefully this, Double Dragon II and any other games that have been announced or rated recently come real soon. The Wii VC is in desperate shape right now.

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th November 2011 (Europe)
@Mati: The games don't come out until Thursday.
Re: Review: Balloon Kid (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
I'd give it a 6. It's a decent game, but there's far better Gameboy games out there.
Re: Giana Sisters DS Sneaks Into North America
Great news. I liked the Commodore 64 game so I'll have to check this out when I get the chance.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd November 2011 (North America)
Not much this week. Balloon Kid's ok though, but not as good as Balloon Fight.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List: November 2011
I hope the other regions get at least one Wii VC game this month, but I wouldn't count on it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October 2011 (North America)
Well, at least we got games on the 3DS for both services. And Burgertime for the Gameboy isn't that bad. It's a lot better than Side Pocket.
Re: Review: Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Wii)
Completely forgot about this one coming out. Gonna have to grab it real soon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October 2011 (Europe)
@Samholy: I thought Burgertime was pretty good. This one ain't too bad either.
Re: 3D Classics: Kid Icarus
Looks like Nintendo's finally moving on to more complex games for 3D Classics.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (North America)
@Capt_N: It's already on the Wii VC.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th October 2011 (North America)
Nothing too interesting this week but it's about time we got Double Dragon.
Re: Feature: Castlevania - The Terrifying Ten
Great list. I've played 6 of those games (hopefully Konami will put Belmont's Revenge on the 3DS VC soon) and they were all great. Here's my top 5 for all consoles.
1. Super Castlevania IV
2. Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
4. Castlevania Rebirth
5. Castlevania III
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (North America)
Hey cool we got a demo for Fast. I'll have to try that out later because I've heard plenty of good things about that one.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (Europe)
Wow this update is pathetic. It's even worse for the Ambassadors because they already have a golf game that they got for free.
Re: The 3DS Circle Pad Expansion Comes in This Box
@32: You got that right.
Re: Nintendo UK Launches New WiiWare Portal
@Bubbl3wrapGuy: Probably because those games were made by an American company.
Re: Review: Side Pocket (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
A 3? The arcade version was pretty average so I don't even want to imagine how bad this one is.
Re: Let There Be No Doubt - The Last Story is Australia-Bound
I'm probably one of the very few North Americans on here who doesn't care if it comes or not.
Re: Catrap
@LuigioverMario: Nicalis hasn't announced the price for it yet.
Re: Mario Pinball Land
Yeah this one's not too great. A standard pinball game with a Mario theme would've been so much better.
Re: Review: Frogger 3D (3DS)
I thought the PS1 Frogger game was pretty terrible. As for this one, I think I'll pass and just stick with the original.
Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)

Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)
I'd give it a 7. It's good, but what really brings it down are those crappy treasure hunting levels.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th October 2011 (North America)
Side Pocket's also on Data East Arcade Classics for the Wii. It's not horrible, but it's one of the weaker games on the compilation.
Re: Blaster Master: Enemy Below
Glad to see another GBC game coming to the VC.
Re: Lock 'N Chase
I have Data East Arcade Classics so I'll pass on this one.
Re: Trip World
Apparently this game was released in Japan and Europe, but not NA. First 3DS VC import game perhaps?
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - October 2011
I wish the West got more NeoGeo games for the Wii VC.
Re: Sonic Generations Japanese Site Opens with New Details
Radical Highway was one of the better levels in SA2 so that's not too bad, although I wish SEGA would've given the game more classic levels. Shadow's not too bad either but if Silver is in it like SuperSinSlayer said (haven't been really following the news for this one enough so I don't really know) then that's going a bit far.
Re: Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder
I'm guessing this isn't related to that old PC game called Cannon Fodder.
Re: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Instant download when this one comes out.

Re: Finally, Nintendo Owns SuperMario.com
Oh well, there's like a billion other sites to go to if I really feel the need to play some Mario flash games.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Bundle Costs $115 in Japan
I wouldn't pay $115 for any game bundle.
Re: Review: Detana!! Twinbee (TG-16)
@DarkEdi: This one came out a few years after Twinbee. It's a different game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th September 2011 (Europe)
@Link79: That's what I was thinking too. I'm already lowering my expectations a little bit.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th September 2011 (Europe)
That was... unexpected. Hopefully NA will also get SML2 this week.
Re: 3DS Reclaims Top Spot in Japan
@LuigiSmash98: Not really. Microsoft consoles have never big sellers in Japan.
Re: Shinobi
So much for coming out this summer.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd September 2011 (North America)
Twinbee's cheaper than Xevious. That's good to hear because $5 is about right for that game. Hopefully Konami will release more Twinbee games soon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd September 2011 (Europe)
NA will probably see Twinbee this week. I'm not a big fan of the first game though so I'll probably pass on this one.
Re: Mario Tennis 3DS Screenshots Are a Smash Hit
If this doesn't have an RPG mode I'll still buy it, but I'll be extremely disappointed.
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP COMPLETE (Wii)
Will definitely be getting this one.
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Suffers Worldwide Delay
Oh well. I have plenty of other games I want that's coming out this year anyways. Think I can wait a little bit longer.
