Nice list with many fantastic games, and it's great to see SMB3 instead of SMW, because also for me it is the much better game =). (For example for me SMB3 is much more diversified than SMW.)
The only game i really miss is "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for the N64.
@ Starwolf_UK: The GBA version does not have a 'Sprint Mode' (i beat the solo mode, after that you see the staff credits and you can select this option at the main menu to see it again), so it is good to read that there is leastwise one new mode^^.
@ Starwolf_UK: Yeah, sadly it looks like there are just 3 modes or just one for the singleplayer. Hopefully the singleplayer-mode is divided at least in the solo-mode and the endless-mode, like in Dialhex. But apart of that, Dialhex had also a Versus-Mode, so actual it seems that Rotohex had no real new modes.
America got his second Art Style game and Europe did not even get the first one =(.
And another sad thing here in Europe: We will get 'World of Goo' not before February 2009 and have to pay 40€ (~55$) for it, because it won't be released on WiiWare. Hopefully there will be enough extras to justify the much higher price.
But beside this, the WiiWare and Virtual Console updates are really great, especially 'World of Goo' and 'Secret of Mana'^^.
@ Ian Daemon: For me they are absolutely great, but it's like Djungelurban say, it's up to the person playing.
@ News: I'm happy to hear this, because Dialhex is a simple but wonderful game, and Coloris might be a little bit hectic in the later game, but it is still fun to play. Hopefully Orbient gets his release tomorrow here in Europe, i would also like to see the appearance of Groovin' Blocks =).
Really cool, and because i've never played the game (only MM 1, 2 & 4 (and 9 of course^^)) i'm very exciting to do so after so many years of abstinence^^.
Mmh, i agree with Stuffgamer1, i don't think that the solution around the storage problem is so clear, because i read a lot of news that you will have the option to start the game from the sd card directly.
@ Tony: 12 minutes? Then i think it is because of your sd card. The longest period i need to transfer a game like Toki Tori (with a normal sd card) is about 3 minutes.
O.K., i will try it, but why does IGN and N-Sider should not say anything about differences between the two versions? The video on this page also show me the same mechanics, except the visuals are better and more detailed. But whatever, i hope this game comes to Europe this or next Friday, then i will see if something is different^^.
@ Objection_Blaster: Yes, the series was Japan only, but because the GBA is region free, some people (me included^^) imported several 'Bit Generations' games. My favorites of them are Dotstream, Orbital and Dialhex (and maybe Coloris, but it becomes very complex in the end of the game^^).
@ thewiirocks: Not really, because these planets are all orbiting the big one. I mean planets with routes which are not influence by other planets. Many of them fly in different directions. So Orbital should be like Orbient with not much difference.
The release of Orbient is so great, because i love the "Bit Generations" series (i have 5 games of them) and i am really excited to see the remakes of the remaining games =). So this title is a must-have for me, and the other ones will be too^^.
Also nice to see that IGN gave the game such a great rating. I can't wait for it^^.
@ Bensei: Yes, this game for WiiWare is a remake of a 'Bit Generations' title called 'Orbital'. And you are right, the sticker is also in Brawl^^.
@ thewiirocks: To be sure, i played Orbital 5 minutes ago on my GBA, and i find some levels, where the planets are moving, too. There is one level for example, where a giant planet with some smaller ones is the central of the "stage", but there a also some other planets moving, and even fly through the bigger one, but they don't effect each other. In Orbital are 8 worlds with 5 levels each. The video you have posted does not show every level of the game, that is the reason =).
Ah, i forgot, so probably you're right, but on 29 August there were 2 VC and 2 WiiWare games too, so i hope this was not an exception^^, although i know that this was on a Hanabi-Week.

Re: Corbie's Top 20 Virtual Console Releases - Part 1
Nice list with many great games =).
Re: EU VC Releases - NES Halloween Trio
Sad to see that there is no 'Mario Golf 64' or 'Secret of Mana', but nevertheless i'm pleased with the release of the three games =).
Re: Mega Man 9 Stop-Motion Video is Great Beyond Words
Awesome, brilliant, great, fantastic, ...
Did i forget something?^^

Re: Review: Art Style: Rotohex (WiiWare)
Nice to see that the "remake" is as great as the original one, so i will definitively buy it.
But first NoE has to release it here, and that can take a lot of time as we know...
Re: Art Style: Rotohex
@ Corbie: Thank you. It is nice to see that there is leastwise one new mode^^.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Strong Bad Episode 3 and Art Style: Rotohex
@ Pegasus: Although i never had the chance to play the multiplayer part, Dialhex has also a Versus-Mode.

Re: Art Style: Rotohex
Dialhex for the GBA was great, so hopefully this version is at least as good as the GBA one =).
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Strong Bad Episode 3 and Art Style: Rotohex
I can't believe it, the third 'Art Style' game. When do we get one? =(
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Tetris Party, The Incredible Maze and Home Sweet Home
Why don't we get at least one 'Art Style' game or 'Groovin' Blocks'? =(
Re: Toki Tori Invades Japan
Toki Tori is one of the best WiiWare games, and it's too bad that not many bought it =(.
Re: Digital Leisure Announces Sudoku Challenge!
@ P. D4NG3R: 100,000,000, not 100,000 .^^
Re: Second Wave of Mega Man 9 DLC Released!
Am i right in thinking that Europe again has to wait until Friday?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
Yeah, World of Goo got a 10 =).
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
"As was said in Friday's topic, there is nothing stopping people getting the PC version of World of goo through steam or 2DBoy's website."
Yeah, but i want to play it on my couch and not in front of my computer monitor^^.

Re: Introducing High Voltage Hot Rod Show for WiiWare
@ Starwolf_UK: I know, but the lack of tracks at Ridge Racer was for me also the biggest negative point in the whole game.
Re: Introducing High Voltage Hot Rod Show for WiiWare
Looks very interesting, but just 6 tracks? That's not much... =(
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling and Potpourrii
No Orbient and no Groovin' Blocks...
=(

Re: Treasure: Buy Dynamite Headdy, You Fools
I bought it months ago, a very cool game =).

Re: Art Style: Orbient
@ thewiirocks: That is wrong. In the GBA game the objects are not fixed to their locations, they also move around like you.
@ Orbient: I hope this game comes to Europe this friday, i love Orbital and the whole 'Bit Generations'-series (i imported 5 games of them) =).
