It is the last of the Namco Bandai games for the Virtual Consoel arcade in Japan for now, but who knows if they will release the Pac-Man games for 2010.
It might be a 2-week pattern like the Super Star Wars series and myNotebook. So I'm guessing Pilotwings will come out on December 7, 2009 and Super Smash Bros. on December 21, 2009 just before the holidays.
I agree on Pokemon Rumble being a game that is pricey and not that good, since it only has Pokemon from the Kanto & Sinnoh regions, meaning there are none from Johto or Hoenn regions which is a real downer.
For those that are curious why the release dates scheduled for November 4 is because November 3 is a public holiday in Japan and because of that, the next day is taken into consideration.
It's reported that North America will get ready to Pokemon Rumble on November 16, 2009. The only problem about this game is that it's limited to Pokemon from the Kanto and Sinnoh regions.
I had a feeling 505 Games bombed on this program. They should have done all the holidays of the year on one program (space pending) including Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, etc.
I knew this game would get a low score. There are only 100 puzzles to choose from, despite the words shuffled around in the grid. They should have made at least 500 puzzles to make it worth it.
With the ESRB rating Final Fantasy II for SNES, we could see it on the Virtual Console by the end of this year perhaps. They have not rated Final Fantasy III for SNES as of yet.
Remember that Australia/New Zealand won't get Sexy Poker as the OFLC refused a rating. Perhaps Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam will be out on DSiWare for the North America on Monday, or sometime in October. The same for R-Type from the Master System.
Now if Nintendo of America begins to follow suit on this offer. Of course those who paid 500 Wii points on the Internet channel are already getting a compensated offer.
The release date September 9, 2009 is a worldwide release date. I picked a copy two days after its release that came with a mic, guitar and drums. I had to switch back and forth with the battery charger, drums, mic and guitar receptor in order to play which device when doing Beatles music, but it has many of my favorites on there.
The PAL areas now have 2 more VC arcade games than over here in North America, but I'm sure hoping that one of them will be coming out in the North America region later this month.

This should mean that Clubhouse Games Express: Strategy Games will be coming out pretty soon....but I did predict Super Return of the Jedi and a possible release of one of the Clubhouse Games Express series games.
Remember that Data East filed a lawsuit on System 3 thinking that International Karate was a copyright on Karate Champ with its similiarities. But when it was taken to a higher level, the judge said that Data East cannot monopolize a sport such as karate and the lawsuit was lost.

Re: Review: Stunt Race FX (Super Nintendo)
Maybe Nintendo should consider having this game for the Virtual Console.

Re: UNO
Hopefully, Nintendo of America will release UNO for both WiiWare & DSiWare on the same day.
Re: Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures
LucasArts announced that the PAL regions will get this game on November 20, 2009 via Twitter.
Re: Nintendo Download: Ninja Gaiden, My Zoo, Rock N' Roll Climber and Nintendo Touch Golf (EU)
Looks like Nintendo UK gave us a bum steer on the release of UNO for DSiWare and another gave out a bum steer on the 3D Hidden Object Adventure
Re: Street Fighter II': Champion Edition
I'm guessing a release for November 23, 2009, in which it will pass the 3rd anniversary of the launch of the Wii in North America.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - November 2009
For those that are curious why the release dates scheduled for November 4 is because November 3 is a public holiday in Japan and because of that, the next day is taken into consideration.
Re: Review: Sudoku (DSiWare)
I'm glad this was a good rating. After all, you can copy a puzzle from a newspaper or magazine and play it from the DSi for later.
Re: Pokémon Rumble
It's reported that North America will get ready to Pokemon Rumble on November 16, 2009. The only problem about this game is that it's limited to Pokemon from the Kanto and Sinnoh regions.
Re: Review: Ghost Mansion Party (WiiWare)
Mario Party 8 is much exciting to play than Ghost Mansion Party.
Re: Nintendo Download: Zombies, Ghosts, Monkeys, Axes, Royal Bluffs and Even More Sudoku (US)
Looks like Fighting Street will have to wait until November.
Re: Fighting Street
Looks like North America will get this game on October 26 and the PAL regions on October 30 for the Virtual Console.
Re: The Combatribes
The ESRB has rated this game E10+ so we'll see it soon on the Virtual Console in the North America region.
Re: Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam
The ESRB gave the DSiWare version a rating, which means it will be coming soon to North America, which is dated December 14, 2009.
Re: Nintendo Download: Star Wars, Little Tournament, Heron, Monochrome Puzzle and Viking Invasion (EU)
Told ya Super Return of the Jedi would come out for October 16 for the PAL region.
Now if only Nintendo of America can announce new VC, WiiWare and DSiWare games 2 or more days in advance rather than 4 hours.
Re: Nintendo Download: Pinballs, Fights and Gravity
I'm guessing that Chapter 3 of Tales of Monkey Island will come out next week.
Re: Review: Happy Holidays: Halloween (WiiWare)
I had a feeling 505 Games bombed on this program. They should have done all the holidays of the year on one program (space pending) including Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, etc.
Re: Review: Word Searcher (WiiWare)
I knew this game would get a low score. There are only 100 puzzles to choose from, despite the words shuffled around in the grid. They should have made at least 500 puzzles to make it worth it.
Re: Rare May Return to Nintendo Consoles
Well if Rare decides to add more Virtual Console games for Nintendo, I would like to see DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing.
Re: Word Searcher
At least it will not use up a lot of blocks on the console, as it only uses up 57 blocks.
Re: Vintage NES Game Up To $8.5K On eBay
and we Canadians would have to report income when selling a product on eBay, or any online web site....glad I get referrals at Amazon.
Re: Nintendo Download: Fantasies, Wars and Words (US)
With the ESRB rating Final Fantasy II for SNES, we could see it on the Virtual Console by the end of this year perhaps. They have not rated Final Fantasy III for SNES as of yet.
Re: System Update 4.2 Bricking Wiis Left, Right and Centre
I updated to 4.2 and my Wii hasn't had any serious problems......yet.
Re: Nintendo Download: Star Wars, Art Style and Escape Game (EU)
Looks like the PAL regions will get Super Return of the Jedi on October 16, 2009 if they used the 2-week pattern like North America did.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (30th Sept)
I'm sure Arkanoid Plus! will crack the top 20 next week for WiiWare.
Re: Wii Fit Plus
Europe has now confirmed a release date for October 30, 2009. Australia gets the Wii Fit Plus release for October 15, 2009.
Re: Wii System Update 4.2 Hits US
I hope this overall system performance means that there will be less wear and tear on the Wii's flash memory.
Re: Altered Beast
All I can say on the price in North America is that it is EXTORTION!
Re: Nintendo Download: R-Type, Cubes, Monkey Island, Poker and Cookery (EU)
Remember that Australia/New Zealand won't get Sexy Poker as the OFLC refused a rating.
Perhaps Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam will be out on DSiWare for the North America on Monday, or sometime in October. The same for R-Type from the Master System.
Re: Here Are Those 3 New DSi Colours You Wanted
Makes you wonder if Nintendo of America will have the red and metallic blue colors coming out in this region.
Those in the US that want these colors, send out a message to Cammie Dunaway about it. She's the VP of sales and marketing at their company.
Re: Pub Darts
Maybe this might be the better game for Phil Taylor to try out.
Re: Square Enix Prez Stares Into Crystal Ball; Sees New Wii in 2011
Well we are seeing a 5-year pattern on the Nintendo consoles so far.
Re: Wii Sports an answer to Parkinson's?
Now if only Michael J. Fox can give this a try....
Re: Review: Mart Racer (WiiWare)
They should have made the game more related to the game show Supermarket Sweep or something like that.
Re: Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 2
Tellgames did confirm via Twitter a release for September 25, 2009 in the PAL regions.
Re: Bomberman Blitz
The PAL regions will get this game on October 23, 2009.
Re: Help People Get Their Wii Consoles Online, Get Free Games
Now if Nintendo of America begins to follow suit on this offer. Of course those who paid 500 Wii points on the Internet channel are already getting a compensated offer.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Announces WiiWare and DSiWare Plans for the Rest of 2009
Strange that myNotebook wasn't announced by Nintendo of America yet, but it has for Europe.
Re: Art Style: DIGIDRIVE
HUH: The original version of this game was actually developed by Q-Games.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
The official North America release date is December 7, 2009.
Re: The Beatles: Rock Band
The release date September 9, 2009 is a worldwide release date.
I picked a copy two days after its release that came with a mic, guitar and drums. I had to switch back and forth with the battery charger, drums, mic and guitar receptor in order to play which device when doing Beatles music, but it has many of my favorites on there.
Re: Nintendo Download: Rygar, Solomon's Key, Spaceball and Solitaire (EU)
The PAL areas now have 2 more VC arcade games than over here in North America, but I'm sure hoping that one of them will be coming out in the North America region later this month.

Re: Bit.Trip Void
The ESRB just rated this game "E" meaning a release is coming soon for North America.
Re: TOMENA SANNER
The ESRB has rated this game "E" so it's possible for a release in North America soon.
Re: Clubhouse Games Express: Strategy Games
What are the five games featured in this series?
Re: Nintendo Download: Rebirths, Colours, Jedis and Clubhouses
This should mean that Clubhouse Games Express: Strategy Games will be coming out pretty soon....but I did predict Super Return of the Jedi and a possible release of one of the Clubhouse Games Express series games.
Re: Data East Arcade Classics Coming to Wii
Remember that Data East filed a lawsuit on System 3 thinking that International Karate was a copyright on Karate Champ with its similiarities. But when it was taken to a higher level, the judge said that Data East cannot monopolize a sport such as karate and the lawsuit was lost.
Data East declared bankruptcy in 2003.
Re: Wii Fit Plus Release Date Announced
The release date in Europe is November 6, 2009.
The Wit Fit Plus disc on its own is a real bargain!
