I wanted a wii version of Luigis Mansion. I thought the controls would be perfect. I'm surprised Luigis Mansion wasn't re-releases as a new play control title.
about 1992 I saved all my money to buy an SNES. Once I had enough saved my mom took me to the local K-mart. I get in the store and there was a wall, one half was filled with SNES and the other half was filled with Sega Genesis. After taking some time to figure out which one I wanted I decided on the Sega Genesis. Sonic The Hedgehog was the pack in game and at the time I thought Sonic blew Mario out of the water. The original 16-bit Sonic games are among the greatest games in history and will always be a part of my collection.
I like the idea of a GB/GBC/GBA virtual console. But I would also like the ability to transfer my wii vc titles as well. Although that may be asking a bit much.
Nice review for a great game. I've been wanting to pick this up for awhile. I'm just torn on whether to get the SNES or Genesis version. As mentioned in the review the SNES version has the same level layout as the arcade while the Genesis version has a completely different layout. The Genesis version is also missing two of the playable characters as well.

I got my disk a couple weeks ago. I like that you can add movies to your instant queue directly from the wii and not have to go to the computer.
Re: Wild Guns
would be great if you could point and shoot with the wii remote. too bad the VC doesn't work like that.

Mercs was changed to Wolf of the Battlefield: Mercs. So I don't see why they can't change the title to Final Fantasy IV. Anyway good update.
