Must... resist... urge to... complain...

I'm going to wait for the VCA version of R-type

ICARian: KInDred Spirits

Its Kid Icar(u)s!

Real Bout Fatal Fury renders Fatal Fury 3 obsolete. Its much easier to maneuver the three planes in Real Bout. The only advantage FF3 has over RB is the character specific backgrounds.

Don't you mean 10 year anniversary SuperSonic?

@11: Won't all that be in Crystal Defenders R2?

So Europe still only gets VC releases every other week?

Bleh!

How does the voice acting challenge work?

The voice acting challenge sounds very interesting.

Now, it's just a matter of time...

Much like AlphaNerd01 I'm pretty much covered with Capcom Classics Collections but they don't have any of the licensed brawlers like AvP and the D&D's. I'd love to see those on VCArcade

Yeah, I've played this before; when it was a minigame in Baten Kaitos for the Gamecube.

@ TwilightV:

It's nice to see some games are finally making use of the Z buttons on the classic controller.

According to arcade-history.com Gaplus is on the Namco Museum Remix for Wii.

As a matter of fact, the video clip is from NMR.

R-Type
Shinobi
Shadow Dancer
Double Dragon
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

C'mon Nintendo! Make it happen!

Why is this 600 points?

What's the difference between Mario Bros. for NES and Mario Bros. for arcade?

I just did my version of the N64 kid when I read this update.

I'm sorry, but 312 blocks?!! Am I missing something?

Does Bit.Trip: Beat have any online functionality?

I can't decide whether I should get this or Onslaught...

I have a sneaking suspicion you guys are going to get Rondo of Blood before we do...

Arguably the best game on the NES for me.

How is this game still not out in the EU yet?!

Damn! You still don't have this in EU?!

That's just unacceptable.

I just realized, this is the only 1 player Neo Geo game on VC reviews so far.

So this is TwinBee. Weren't there a side scrolling games in the series?

Great list...
Dracula X: Rondo of Blood is essential!
Ghouls & Ghosts (SuperGrafx) Why not!
Parodius (TG16)
Spriggan (TG16)
Spriggan Mark II (TG16)
Ys III and IV (TG16)
Needs more Valis!

The thing I find interesting about this list is I've played three of those games: PSIV, Lords of Thunder, and Super Mario RPG all for the first time this year!

@Drake
So basically what your saying is that there are only five or six VC games that earn coins. Beautiful!

I think I've played this on the Game Gear.

Full featured pinball with online multiplayer and leader boards for 800 points? Sign me up!

Holy balls! This game is HUGE!!

*cleans fridge

That makes sense and I really hope it does. I'd be happy with any new Castlevania game by Halloween at this point.

I keep getting stuck in this game. For instance, how am I supposed to know you have to talk to some random girl in a town to advance the story? This is when I wish more RPGs had a talk to your party feature like in Phantasy Star IV.

The blocks sizes for these games are just baffling. 77 in the US, 58 in Europe?! What's the deal?

Is it just me or was this the fastest VC download I've ever gotten? This game must have taken about 5 seconds to download and it's only 33 blocks! I'm pretty sure this was a 16 meg game so why is it so much smaller than other SNES downloads?

Secret of Mana? What a pleasant surprise! Instant download for me.

Whatdoyamean boo?! As long as it from Treasure and its on a Nintendo system, I don't care how they decide to release it.

You know what would make amazing downloadable content?

The arranged soundtrack!

@lordbowser: Amen to that!

I have to assume(hope) that this update will at least enable faster transfer speed to and from the SD cards.

Maybe they'll do an update that would allow for the GC controller to work.

Why is it so dark?

What language is that in the video?

Hurray!! I will finally be able to download one of my all time favorite Castlevania (and NES) games! I never did win that trip to Dracula's hometown however...

This looks awesome! It has been too long since I've played a Gradius game. ANY Gradius game!

At first glance it looks like you're getting a webisode and a screensaver all at 1500 Wii pooints.

The A.I. in SNK fighting games is very challenging and in some cases, notoriously cheep so don't expect to blow through the game in a day. As with the first game I would recommend an arcade controller for SSII. I use my PS2 Street Fighter controller by way of an adapter. It plays like a dream!
