"there goes Wii Ware's credibility down the toilet."
No need to get bent out of shape, this was bound to happen. Maybe if we just don't look at it it will go away...

Almost like how Dazza "accidentally" downloaded it?

Three cheers for the first bad Wiiware game!!

Now now, they might've gotten SSBB months later than us, but at least they got MKWii like a week before we did!

Wow, that really is a shame. I feel bad for you, I can only imagine how that must've sucked.
Well, I've never played the original cart, but if I had to guess I'd say the graphics weren't updated.
And concerning the Mega Man series, I'm glad I grew up in the PS2/XBOX/GC generation, because most old games would've been way too hard for me. I have enough trouble with Mega Man now...

Edit: Yay, I was right about the graphics!

@lockelocke--I agree with you, but concerning Mega Man 2, why not just do what I did and buy the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for Gamecube? It's a great deal for like ten games in one. I suppose the only thing stopping you would be the cruddy Gamecube d-pad, but that doesn't bother me too much.

"Critter Round-Up better be like 50 Wii Points, because that looks like all it is worth."

lol. When's the last time you bought a new game for 50 cents?

"This game is the same like a tetris game, I don't gonna get this game"

lol

Cool. I wonder how abundantly clear Nintendo will make it that this game is not for children when it's released.

It's quite possible, expecially since he mentioned Wiiware in particular as opposed to some other venue.

No More Heroes . I've never played it, but i heard that it is quite awkward to "recharge your energy sword".

Only if you put the emphasis on the first syllable of "beware", and it's not pronounced "Bee-ware".

That may be one of the most off-topic comments I've ever seen in my life

Looks good guys. I'm excited!

Hey everyone, it's only WEEK ONE of Wiiware. If they plan on coming out with games every week, I can understand why they didn't release everything this week. Do you know what this boils down to? Lack of patience. So what if the game you wanted doesn't come out this week? You'll just be getting it a couple weeks later, and by the time you've finished playing with it you will have played for a couple weeks past when you would have been finished with it had it come out earlier. This goes for the Virtual Console as well.
And, quite frankly, I don't think this is a bad launch. 6 new games in one week. I don't spend a lot of Wii points, but FF: CC, LostWinds, Defend Your Castle, Pop, and TV Show King all look like things I might be interested in. The first two speak for themselves. Concerning Defend Your Castle, I find chucking enemy soldiers into the sky with the Wiimote irresistable. And Pop looks interesting. I'm waiting for the reviews. I could care less about demos as long as I have a few people who's opinions I respect give the game in question a good review.

Hey VC-Reviews staff, do you see what happens when you don't post a new news item for a while? Everyone starts arguing!

I rented this game once. It was good fun. I may pick it up eventually.

"Nintendo needs to just act like responsible intelligent grown ups and get this game on the VC."
Okay, the higher-ups at Nintendo aren't schoolchildren, and they don't make business decisions just to spite people. There's definitely a reason for everything they do, whether we peons can think of it or not. I personally think that all this means is Nintendo doesn't want to release Bionic Commando right now. In case you haven't noticed, they've been scaling back--maybe because Wiiware is coming, maybe because they want to save some quality releases for the later years of the Wii. They might just want to hold off on Bionic Commando for a while, so they turned Capcom down. Maybe.

@DEMON212: Probably. That's just the selfish thought that struck me when I saw this week's release

Previous three weeks:
EU VC releases--8
US VC releases--5
Grr...

Well, not many people wouldn't want to play as Nintendo icons over Generic Character That They've Never Heard Of. Especially when they know from experience that the Nintendo icons make consistently good games.

Definitely Donkey Kong Jr. Math. No question.

Just in case anyone was wondering, here's the system breakdown:
NES--9
N64--8
SNES--3
Surprise, surprise, Nintendo systems dominate.

@NintendoNerd: I beat Pokemon Snap, but I still go back to it sometimes just to try to snap some better pictures and improve my portfolio. And you're still trying to judge games by their length. Not to be rude, but that can't be done.

I wish Super Smash Bros. would come to VC...then I'd have all three

Plus Pokemon Snap has an extremely high replay value . Must...get...elusive...perfect...shot...

@WoRMaSTeR: GameInformer gave Super Paper Mario a 9.5, IGN an 8.9, GameSpot an 8.8, and GameSpy a four out of five stars. I'm not saying everyone should change their opinion of the game, I'm just saying that this seems to be the only website where the people consistently hate Super Paper Mario...

A game's worth cannot be measured by its length--that's just lunacy.

Of course! People aren't allowed to have unpopular opinions, you know.

I was never a big fan of fighting games, so I'll probably shy away from the Neo Geo in general.

Oh man! This is awesome! I would have never even dreamed of something like this . Strong Bad is hilarious, and if you've never heard of him you should definitely check out his online show. Hilarious stuff.

Didn't you know that dinosaurs have a penchant for pastries? Duh!

1. Super Mario Kart
2. Super Smash Bros.
3. Super Mario RPG
4. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
5. Kirby Super Star

What is it with Nintendo and "Super" games? Everything's gotta be super!

"I think it's also the first news without any posts on storage space ... HOORAY"
"unless Nintendo finally sorts out the storage problem wishing for it to happen ."
NOOOO!!!! So close...
Nice one. I particularly liked the part about wearing the 3-D glasses

There was a Japanese only sequel?? I've decided we should get a group together to storm Nintendo world headquarters and make them release a translated version on the VC...at all costs.

I'm sooo happy! I've learned four new things today!
1. I've discovered the edit button! How wonderous! Manicfatty Is a kind individual. (Little do you know that used to say Manicfatty is a deranged individual, before...the edit button!)
2. I've discovered a forum! It's like a whole new universe for me!
3. I am always right and truly psychic!
"And to stay on topic...STORAGE!!!!!!!"
"and...HARD DRIVE!!!"
"and...PLAY FROM SD CARD!!!"
4. Avoid Manicfatty. He is not in the mental health.

Oh yeah, LostWinds...the graphics fooled me, I thought it was going to be a 3D game at first. It looks like a fun use of the motion sensing to me.

It's probably not worth it. Then again, I am very fond of this game...

Getting three games is a relief. I was beginning to think Nintendo's solution to the storage problem was going to be giving us less games!
Well, not really. But it sure sounded good, didn't it?

@Manicfatty - Well, maybe YOUR new user name should be...uhm...actually, it doesn't get a whole lot more insulting than Manic Fatty. You may have won the battle, but the war is far from over...

Wow...it seems my psychic powers have failed me. Hey people! Shouldn't we be talking about storage issues and not sports? Maybe even throw in a few "Nintendo is stoopid not givin' us three games of week." comments! This is just abnormal!

Using my amazing psychic powers, I will now predict what the hot topic on this thread will be! Hmm....rubs temples....Storage space! Prove me wrong, people.

I don't understand why everyone on this thread is so down on Super Paper Mario! It's definitely one of the top five games released for the Wii so far. It's just hard to compare it to Paper Mario directly, as they are surprisingly different games. I am of the opinion that they are both excellent in their own right, and until I play both again I can't really say I have a favorite of the two.

@Angelic Lapras King
Hey, that's not a bad idea! I wouldn't mind additional Mii Channel content...there's not a whole lot to work with as it stands.

I love this game. It's a great feeling you get when a new picture you took beats an old one. I also enjoyed putting captions below some of the pictures
I'm thinking a sequel would be a perfectly suited game for the Wii. I would love it if Nintendo made one.

Hey, this is awesome. I also have to say that maybe this landmark will cause Nintendo to start giving the Virtual Console better support. I personally don't mind the fact that they're scaling back the game output per week, but lately it's just been ridiculous.
