The first thing I said when I saw that box a couple of years back was "Who would want to go their anyways? With my luck Medusa Heads would probably knock me out of the castle".
Aren't Kappa's supposed to frighten children. I wrote a report about them for school once and it was rather umm... not child appropriate. Anywho this can stay in Japan.
@ Kultist #211 Deja Vu I wouldn't mind, but Uninvited creeps me the (insert naughty word that rhymes with duck here) out. Its kinda funny how I love to play modern Survival Horror games, yet an 8-bit game can creep me out so much I can't even sleep at night (Heck, I still have nightmares about that southern bell ghost).
I never did see the hate for Zelda II, You're basically all set if you level all your stats to four at the beginning of the game. Also, I'm pretty sure the fanboys will find something else to whine about. CoughsecretofmanaCough.
Cho Aniki is gonna be a day one purchase for me. I'm not to sure about getting Final Soldier (Mainly because I'm horrible at vertical shooters), but I'll definitely give it a shot when I have more points.
I already own Mana, but I'll probably buy it again anyway (mainly because the final boss fight glitches out on me every time I get there. Mario Golf is a pleasant surprise though.
Bunch of games I'm willing to try this month (If only I had the money). Btw is Y's pronounced like the letter E (the way I've been saying it) or is it just the letter Y.
@ Rexy Yeah, SMB2 (Doki Doki) was hands down the easiest Mario game in the bunch. Although it did take me quite a while to figure out that you didn't need to jump on the veggies to catch them during the Wart fight.
I for one have been wanting this game so as soon as I come across ten bucks I'm downloading it because: A) Its really the only giant monster wrestling game done right . B) Its got a co-op and vs mode. C) Its a hell of a lot of fun.
Really solid game. The music is fantastic, controls nicely, and it adds a strategic element of what weapon to use and where it is most effective. My only complaint is the first boss is laughably easy.
This game ain't tough enough for me. I actually play this quite often despite it not being that great. I really like the music though, sounds kinda like an 8 bit version of the Stray Cats.
2 stars seems a bit low IMO. This game is alot of fun when you have a couple of people around to create a course and then play it to see who lasts the longest.
I was hoping for the SNES version (I hate the Pokemon anime, I like the games though) but I've been craving some puzzle action so I'll take whatever I can.

Re: Ten Arcade Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console Arcade
I think you forgot to mention Edward Randy in that list.
Re: Nintendo Channel: Ian Livingstone C64 Interview
Woah, he works on Warhammer stuff?! Color me impressed.
Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer
@ gishagos
Probably not. I'm pretty sure Wizards & Warriors is a Rare game.
Re: Manga Coming To Japanese WiiWare in January
I wouldn't mind something like this if we were to get some quality stuff.
Re: Corbie's Top 20 Virtual Console Releases - Part 2
Can't say I disagree with number one. Definitely my most played VC game.
Re: EU VC Releases - NES Halloween Trio
Hope us North Americans get Devil's World and Vania 3 on Monday.
Re: Overturn Coming To Japanese WiiWare
A robo battle game. This could be decent.
Re: Updated Cave Story Artwork Causes Controversy
I've got no complaints. She actually looks alot cuter now in my opinion. Huzzah!
Re: Treasure: Buy Dynamite Headdy, You Fools
As soon as I get caught up with the games higher up on my list, I'll pick it up.
Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II
@ The Fox
You can never have too many shooters.
Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II
Nice week, I for one wanted some Gradius 2 action but these games are great too. I really need to get the first Shining Force soon.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: Orbient
All I played was Boundish, Dotstream, Orbital, and Dialhex. Liked them all too. Haven't played the others though.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: Orbient
I hope Boundish is going to be their next choice for the Art Style games. Its a really fun little pong clone with 5 different modes.
Re: Nintendo World Cup
This is the only soccer game I've ever enjoyed. Its definitely worth the price of admission.
Re: TurboGrafx-16 Releases - October
I was wondering when Gradius 2 would be coming. Now if only Rebirth would make its way here as well.
Edit: Hmm, looks like someone gave me an avatar. My thanks goes out to whoever did it.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
Congrats on getting a good bunch of games.
Re: USA VC Release: Mega Man 2
Woohoo, another game I want but can't afford at the moment.

@ Angelic Lapras King
The first thing I said when I saw that box a couple of years back was "Who would want to go their anyways? With my luck Medusa Heads would probably knock me out of the castle".
Re: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Hands down, this is my favorite Castlevania out of the ones I played.
Re: Bomberman Blast
@ PuppetMasterKuruku
Enough (Waves hand in face). I wonder when this game will be released.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Groovin' Blocks
For 800 points I'd probably get this over Columns.
Re: USA VC Releases: Cho Aniki and Final Soldier
Damn, Cho Aniki comes out and I have no money for it (as usual). Can't wait to give it a go though.
Re: Japan Can 'Play With Kappa' In September
Aren't Kappa's supposed to frighten children. I wrote a report about them for school once and it was rather umm... not child appropriate. Anywho this can stay in Japan.

I already own Mana, but I'll probably buy it again anyway (mainly because the final boss fight glitches out on me every time I get there. Mario Golf is a pleasant surprise though.
Re: Bomberman Blasting Onto The Wii
Looks like I'll have a use for my TF2 Miis after all... "KABOOM!"
Re: Mega Man 9 Opening Cinematic - Retrotastic!
So Chun Li is a news reporter when shes not kicking stuff... odd.
Re: Mega Man Finally Out On Monday In USA
What a horrible week to be broke. I'd buy all three if it wasn't so hard to find a job.
Re: RPG Action Comes to the US Next Month in Ys Book I & II
Bunch of games I'm willing to try this month (If only I had the money). Btw is Y's pronounced like the letter E (the way I've been saying it) or is it just the letter Y.
Re: Top 10 Racing Games We Want To Come To The Virtual Console
What about Battle Cars. It was pretty fun and it wasn't made by Rare so its possible for it to hit the VC.
Re: USA VC Update: Super Fantasy Zone and Gley Lancer
@ Rexy
Yeah, SMB2 (Doki Doki) was hands down the easiest Mario game in the bunch. Although it did take me quite a while to figure out that you didn't need to jump on the veggies to catch them during the Wart fight.
Re: Mega Man 9 T-shirts To Go On Sale Soon!
Definitely picking this shirt up.
Re: USA VC Update: Super Fantasy Zone and Gley Lancer
Still looks like I'm buying something today. I've been waiting to play Super Fantasy Zone for quite some time now.
Re: US VC Releases - 14th July - Donkey Kong 3
Well, at least I don't have to swipe cards through the old E-reader anymore. Guess I'll finally pick up F-Zero X and SMB2 while I'm at it.
Re: US VC Release - 7th July - King of the Monsters
I for one have been wanting this game so as soon as I come across ten bucks I'm downloading it because:
A) Its really the only giant monster wrestling game done right .
B) Its got a co-op and vs mode.
C) Its a hell of a lot of fun.
Re: Gate of Thunder
Really solid game. The music is fantastic, controls nicely, and it adds a strategic element of what weapon to use and where it is most effective. My only complaint is the first boss is laughably easy.
Re: North American WiiWare launch games
Darn, lost winds is out of my price range for now. Looks like I'm gonna have to pass on these for now.
Re: King of the Monsters
This can't come soon enough. So many good memories of slaughtering my friends at this.
Re: EU VC Releases - 9th May - Metal Slug and More Imports
You guys are lucky, I doubt us Americans will be seeing Cho Aniki anytime soon (Looks like a barrel of laughs and would make a good gag gift).
Re: Renegade
This game ain't tough enough for me. I actually play this quite often despite it not being that great. I really like the music though, sounds kinda like an 8 bit version of the Stray Cats.
Re: Zanac
Isn't this the game that if you reset it 13 times you get a different ship and some various other weird cheats too.
Re: Mach Rider
2 stars seems a bit low IMO. This game is alot of fun when you have a couple of people around to create a course and then play it to see who lasts the longest.
Re: US VC Releases - 5th May - Pokemon Puzzle League
I was hoping for the SNES version (I hate the Pokemon anime, I like the games though) but I've been craving some puzzle action so I'll take whatever I can.
Re: EarthBound
Please come Monday. I haven't played this since the save battery in my cart died.
Re: New WiiWare Game: Gyrostarr
It reminds me of Web Wars (at least I think thats the name) for the old Vectrex.
Re: US VC Releases - 21st April - River City Ransom
@ Lockelocke: CntBSC was a great game but I absolutely sucked at the rooftop jumping event but I was invincible at the swimming event.
Re: Capcom To Lend Support To WiiWare
Gargoyle's Quest comes to mind.
Re: 3 NES Beat 'em ups coming to US Virtual Console soon
This just made my day (now all i'll need is Double Dragon 2). I can't stop grinning... it hurts.
