And you doubt that I haven't? Castlevania, Startropics, and Zelda II are all games that I have managed to complete. I'm not as lame as you think. Did I by any chance touch a nerve?
It was too confusing when I first played it. I had to use a walkthrough. Also, I've noticed that the title screen says "1986-2003 Nintendo". Is this the gameboy port?
This game is too hard. I'm stuck on level 7 with the 3-part boss battle. The mummies drain at least 1/4 of my health, the hammer-bro is too fast to hit, and the gargoyle is impossible to dodge. I enjoyed the original Castlevania more than this garbage.
The biggest thing I hate in the original Sonic games is Eggman as the final boss. With the exception of Sonic 3 I believe, you have no rings to fight with, and when you take one hit (which happens very quickly), you die. He is just too hard. That's why I've haven't beaten Sonic 2 or 3 yet (without using god mode).
I'm finding this game a bit too stretched out. Multiple paths and alternate characters. It would take forever to complete every place with every character. I think it just takes out the whole concept of the original Castlevania, with just one character and one, linear path. I don't know, that's just me.
Just beat the game today. Man, I had a lot of fun. Too bad there's nothing to do once you beat it (and yes, I know of the secret battle after the credits). Somehow, I not too thrilled to play this game all over again. One, too much frustration, and two, it will get repetitive. Still, 5/5 the first time around.

Re: Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Agreed.
Re: Wolf of the Battlefield: MERCS
I played this at an arcade the other day. Fun, but I prefer Contra.
Re: Diatomic: Microscopic Arcade Action Madness
Looks like a metroid.
Re: Super Metroid
Well, that's your opinion. For me, Super Metroid is the one that boasted the most creepiness.
Re: USA VC Update: Life Force
I've never played a shmup before, so is this a good game to start with?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Evasive Space
Aww, no Onslaught.
Re: Secret of Mana
^
I have to agree with every single one of those statements.
Re: Kirby's Adventure
My only complaint is that its repetitive and slow. Other than that, a great game!
Re: New USA Virtual Console releases for 11th December
1st Post!! Alien Crush is decent, but not as good as Devil's Crush.

Re: Mega Man
I say this is better than Mega Man 3.
Re: Chew Man Fu
Why haven't people realized the greatness of this game?
Re: ActRaiser
Very fun, but too short.

Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Awesome! I can't wait for this to hit North America!
Re: Review: Pop-Up Pirate! (WiiWare)
Thanks for steering me away from this, Sean. Nice job.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
@Maniac
I guess you're just not as hardcore as you say you are. I can beat the game without any problem.
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Mario RPG and Clu Clu Land
One of my favorite games ever.
Re: EU VC Update: ClayFighter and Sonic Chaos
It seems that Master System games that come out in one region, then quickly come out for the next.

Except for Startropics.
Re: Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
Ryu get really tough with 4 stars (moderate difficulty). He relentlessly attacks you with those Hadukens. ARGHHHH!
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog
I want to get a Sonic MS game, but I already have 2 & 3 (Genesis) for the VC. I think that too much Sonic isn't good.
Re: Milon's Secret Castle
Does the continue trick still work on the VC service?

YES!!!!
Re: New Virtual Console releases for 4th December
First comment! Booyah! Well, not much to say.
Re: Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
This music in the video sounds like it should be in a Mega Man game.
Re: Enduro Racer
Does the music in the video remind anyone of River City Ransom?

Re: USA VC Update: StarTropics II
Dang! I used my last 500 points for Super C (not that its a bad game, though). Once I get another card, this is #1 on my downloading list.
Re: DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure
Absolutely love this game! 5/5
Re: USA VC Update: Phantasy Star IV
Thanks for letting us down for the upteenth time, NOA. PSIV may be great, but I was expecting more for Christmas.

Yay! I found another kwing fan! Cheers to kwing! =]
Re: Super Castlevania IV
It looks like there's barely any enemies in the game.
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
What? Why do we always get the random games?
