I actually had this on one of those 32 in 1 pirate carts back in the day. I hope it doesn't have an extra 100 points tagged on it seeing as their is no japanese text in it whatsoever and its also a bit mediocre (Still fun though).
I'd love me some Road Avenger. I haven't played it in years but I still got the theme song stuck in my head. Oh yeah and I know I complain about the shmups but Sol Feace has a special place in my heart.
This game really brings back some good memories of scrounging around the arcade for quarters that people dropped and playing this religiously. Unfortunately downloading (or owning the anthology in my case) won't bring the joy of people crowding around the machine to watch.
@ Pocketim You must have pretty strict parents if you can't play an old fighting game (I mean seriously if you can play a game with a murderous plumber who dumps a certain king into boiling hot lava, then a harmless beat'em up where no one dies should be okay in my book) and most likely my siblings are younger than you (Judging by the use of good grammar) but they play fighting games all the time.
On topic I'm definintley picking up Kirby but not until EarthBound or RCR comes out here.
@ wii-c-kid - Impossible Mission always was my favorite and better come to the VC. I remember loading it up for the first time and hearing the clearest speech ever on a commodore game "Another visitor. Stay awhile, Stay FOREVER" also hearing your character scream when he fell down was pretty amusing too.
Looks like I might as well keep mine hooked up. Of course there are some games I'd cough up 5 bucks for but I've got about 183 C64 games so I'll wait and see.
Loved this game when I was a kid and still love it today. I don't get to play it as much as I'd like too (Friends don't get to come over often) so it's more of a time killer for me.

Re: US VC Releases - 14th April - Mega Turrican
I figured we'd be getting Mega Turrican this week. Fantasy Zone was okay but I'm gonna pass on that one for now.

Re: Cho Aniki
I think I'll have great fun gifting this one to some friends. Laughs Maniacally
Re: Nintendo Power Poll - What Games Do You Want To See?
Sent my e-mail to them on Monday. It consisted of EarthBound, Super Mario RPG, StarFox 2, Metal Storm, and Contra.

Re: Master System Hitting US 'Soon', 400 Points Per Game
If i'm dreaming don't wake me up because its a dream come true to finally get rid of those 400 points that never go away.
Re: US VC Releases - March 24th - King's Knight
Why not Rad Racer Square Enix? I'd definitely buy that game in a heartbeat.
Re: Talking Point: The State of Play of the Virtual Console
"Are Virtual Console gamers crybabies?".
I'm pretty sure we're all cranky old men who just want our games.
On topic I half agree with the article but they do need to dish out the goods so people with smaller budgets such as myself have more things to play.
Re: US VC Releases - March 17th - Super R-Type
Yet another shooter... that has nothing to do with a certain fox (who certainly knows what a checkpoint is).
Re: Konami to bring us WiiWare goodness?
I hope they remake that Moai head puzzle game. What was that game called anyways?
Re: Japanese WiiWare Site Now Live
Bring Punch-Out!! to Wii-Ware Nintendo. Just think of the cash you would rake in.
Re: Wii TV Guide channel available for Japanese users
I can't even remember the last time I actually watched tv. Must save precious memory for games.
Re: US VC Release - March 3rd - Super Turrican
Not a bad game at all but alas its one that I already own. Any body who likes shooters should definintly give it a shot.

Re: River City Ransom
Hey Drake this actually isn't the only fighting Kunio game released in our regions. I'm pretty sure Renegade is part of the series.

Re: Operation Wolf
If they don't add the zapper option they'll be breaking their own rule of "just like the original version".
Re: StarTropics
Got this as soon as it was downloadable. Definintley a must own game if your a fan of the Zelda series.
