Yay! Pilotwings!

But, why?

"Hee-Hee!"

ALK and Starboy91: Read the article again.

@Pavlos2094: That looks like my old DS.

Is this the first time the game's been released in EU?

Yeah! Fatal Fury Special! I've been waiting for that one.

Also, Neo Geo SEEE DEEEEEEE!!!!!!@1!1!

Yellow and green spider ninjas?

Eewww!!

@Ratengo: So wait... Are you saying if I only have Sonic 3 I can't do the lock-on thingy with Sonic and Knuckles?

AAAAAAAWW!!!! Europe got Shinobi first.

Dammit! Oh well, its nice to see it get released outside Japan...

I'm guessing the "level of difficulty" goes from Hard to Insane?

And my first VCA game has finally arrived!

I can barely contain my excitement.[/sarcasm]

600 points for ARKANOID Plus or 1000 points for Altered Beast.

decisions decisions...

Holy crap! 600 points? What a steal!

Japan gets more DSiWare games in one update than we see in a month. Including VC and WiiWare!

@ 14: I would still go with the arcade version over any console version because the first R-type game I played was the arcade version.

R-Type for the Sega Master System?!! I don't get it. They've got VCArcade now, why not release the arcade original?

AAAAGH!!!! Of all the ninja games why did it have to be Last Ninja 2!

grumble grumble

TECMO

Kicking gamers asses since 1985

I CALLED IT!

I still haven't finished the final chapter yet (level grinding) but I would say it makes up almost 50% of the game. I skipped on some of the chapters so I am missing some supporting characters like Ursula and Harley but I'm still enjoying the final chapter more than previous chapters.

@ King Elemento: I was thinking the same thing!

It will be interesting to see what's beyond the 3rd/4th stage as I've made little progress in this game. Are there even boss battles?

@WarioFan: I consider a no VC week (at least the ones we've gotten) no different than a "nothing at all week".

I always thought Rolling Thunder 2 was Genesis only...

Its better than flesh colored.

Yeah! What's up with Pilotwings?

As others have said, the more games the better but the ones I would absolutely download are:

Blazing Star
Fatal Fury Special
Pulstar
Rage of the Dragons
Sengoku 3
Shock Troopers
Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad
SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos

Battle Cash and Metal Combat are that e top of my list

Since all games go through Nintendo anyway I'll list some random games that come to mind:
Batman
Blaster Master
G.I.Joe
more Ninja Turtles and more Neo Geo games!

VCArcade
Battletoads!
Ninja Turtles
Turtles in Time
The Simpsons

Gargoyle's Quest 2, Demon's Crest, Final Fight 3, Breath of Fire, any and all arcade beat-em-ups.

Did Europe get none of the many compilations from Capcom over the last 5 years?

Arcade Games:
After Burner (never played)
Daytona USA
Daytona USA 2
G-Loc - Air Battle
Golden Axe
Golden Axe - The Revenge of Death Adder
Michael Jackson's MoonWalker
Sega Sonic The Hedgehog
Shinobi
Shadow Dancer
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
Virtual On - Cyber Troopers

@IncognitoD: Keep "Dreamin"

I guess this means Bit.Trip = WiiWare and Art Style = DSi?

Does this mean Nintendo is no longer making Art Style games for WiiWare?

Is Nintendo only making Art Style games for the DSi now?

Judging by the reviews, 600 points for Gradius Rebirth makes more sense than 1000 points we get charged.

The only thing that would validate the $5 price tag for me would be if it had mp3 playback.

Am I the only one that thinks Space Harrier is overpriced?

So now their pirating WiiWare games and add-ons?

Game Sound Station?

If you try to think of it as a series of 300-800 point quests over four months instead of a 3700 point WiiWare game I think it helps.

I haven't reached the end of the dungeon but the fact that there is a dungeon after the story section means you will get your money's worth at 800 points.

Gorgeous!

There are eight additional tales that are set to be released between now and September. Seven of these are character specific tales which cost 300 points each. The final tale releasing in September is called The Crystals and will be another 800 points.

I have 1100 points left so I have just enough for the game and the first tale.

That reminds me; we might actually see the second Golden Axe arcade game for the first time on a console.

@ Corbie: Is that from not playing them?

@Supermarioman: I think the Strong Bad games were stand-alone as apposed to a complete game that's broken up into episodes like The After Years. I haven't played any of them but that's the impression I got from the media and news coverage on the game.

What's this about textures on 3D models to make them look like 2D sprites?

I bet its going to be released as Final Fantasy II just like the SNES game.

I think this is a good indication that we'll be seeing the arcade or SNES versions on VC pretty soon.

Maybe it will be three downloads. 3eps/download Although, I don't see why they couldn't have all 9 epsodes in one download.

This is not news.
