romulo

@Mr-X9000 Graphically, it is. It uses half the resolution of the N64 version, has slowdowns and so on. But the audio is better.

Is this better than the Master System version?

I have it, Saturn version. Good addition to VC anyway.

The game is terrible, but I have the NES cart here, since I'm a great TMNT fan. Sad news, indeed.

IMHO the most memorable Zelda moment of all time is SPOILER ALERT when you get the Master Sword in Wind Waker and the flow of time in Hirule is restored. Magical moment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFHEQL2Xlkg

The BEST console I've ever had! Period.

Although I do not agree with the GCN list, the fact is I have all games listed on it. I am happy, I know it...

@BXXL Speak for yourself. I have over 50 games for my GameCube and most of them are at least excellent. The Wii, on the other hand, is a disappointment to me.

No Skies of Arcadia Legends or Eternal Darkness love?

I love the Rushing Beat trilogy! Hopefully the north american release will come next.

What translation is this guy talking about? Uforia was released originally in Europe and Australia, so the translation was already done!

I wish I could try it.

Awesome VC offering! Now bring us Shatterhand!

@Wolfcoyote: FF V was released to GBA as well.

Good to see another Mega Man on VC. But not for me, since I already have the compilation.

Fatal Fury 3 on USA VC next week, please!

Rondo!

Excellent update!

Not exactly impressive...

Top Gear is awesome! I used to watch it every night with my friends when I was living in Canada. Great memories!

Funny thing is that this tie-in is actually better than the "true" Dark Void on other consoles.

Shadow Dancer all the way!

C'mon... I was expecting Shadow Dancer this week...

@Dazza: Like I said, I just heard. Really don't know if this was the reason or not.

But I did some google research and found a techno band called "Shadow Dancer". Maybe (just maybe) that was the issue.

@StarBoy91 (comment 22): I heard there were some licensing issues in Germany.

I remember old brazilian magazines praising Shadow Dancer at the time. I've only played the Master System port tough.

Great review!

The GBC port of SFA was pretty impressive at the time. Considering the hardware limitations, I would give it a higher score.

Since I already have Castlevania III and Super Castlevania IV for VC, and SoTN for Xbox Live Arcade, I would only buy the collection if the price was really good. With Bloodlines and Chronicles inside, that would be another story...

No Cody in this one.

I still have the cart here. Great game!

This deserves at least an 8 out of 10 IMO. It's one of the best beat'm ups of the 16 bit generation. I used to beat it in the hardest dificulty setting...

I grabbed Gunstar Heroes, Puyo Puyo 2 and Toe Jam & Earl. Maybe I'll get something more 'til next week.

You guys complaining about the lack of d-pad support should give the analog a chance. I'm playing with the nunchuk configuration and it's working perfectly.

By the way, the game is awesome!

@LEGEND MARIOID: The GBC received the first Alpha.

They should give us Super Double Dragon. That is a great game!

I'm not buying this! But only because I already have the cart...

SMK and A Boy and His Blob! Great update!

There is the Mega Drive version of Super SF II, wich is still unreleased. Since some games are present for more than one platform (like R-Type for SMS and TG16), I think we may get it eventually.

One thing worth noting is that this port was the biggest PC-Engine hucard game at its launch. Don't know if another game surpassed it later though.

I played one of these illegal NES ports of SF2 at the time. It was surprisingly good!

@Good: This is not simply an outdated game. It's a bad game! I have painful memories of Fighting Street, when I tried it by the early 90s. Never played the original arcade version though.

I have a lot of good memories of SMS Shinobi. I would like to see it on VC too, for nostalgic reasons.

Like Golden Axe arcade before it, Shinobi will cost twice more on VC than its XBLA counterpart. Sad...

I can't decide what to get... Maybe River City Ransom.

I love Final Fight 2! It brings me so many good memories...

I still have the original NES cart here! But I really do think the remakes are much better, even with their easy difficulty setting. (I also have the PSX and PSP remakes.)

@Metang (comments 12, 15):

Yes, there is a PS2 version. It'scalled Rayman 2: Revolution (Rayman Revolution in UK). Just remember the current PS3 model does not have PS2 compatibility.

The PS1 version has downsized graphics and levels but, on the other hand, has real voice acting. It's not a bad game, but the other versions are much better. Excluding the DS version, of course...

Rayman 2 on N64/PC/DC/PS2 is one of the best platformers of all time (the PS1 version is downsized). This DS version does not keep up with the original. It's a disaster, really. The score is perfect for it.

There is one thing that needs to be said, though. That crappy virtual stick was designed to support the "thumb strap" of the first Nintendo DS. Nintendo screw Ubisoft when the accessory was discontinued.

Good thing I still have the cart.

I just bought the XBLA version. It's almost half the price of VCA version. The Nintendo pricing for VC games needs some adjustments...
