OrionPax do you mean Samari Shodown ? that game was rated by the OFLC ages ago and we are due to get that game. Metal Slug should come soon since it came up in a Japan VC update
Import titles FTW glad Hudson decided to bring Gradius II to the VC.
I wonder when the next Hanabi Festival is? with the amount of titles announced it now seems very likely. Maybe another SNES game like Super Mario RPG would show up pehaps?
Dracula X would be an awesome addition for the Turbographx libary. And so is Phantasy Star 3 since this is a sign us europeans are getting any month now.
Also glad that the Neo Geo is getting updated again, though since you can get Metal Slug with 5 others on the antologey version i don't see any reason to download this.
1 game a week again?. Oh well at least its a decent game. Somethng was telling me we would get another turrican game withn two months of the SNES version release.
Will check the SNES version out before i download this though just to see if i like it.
Not suprised with the VCs to 20 since it all the games up there are nostelgic titles. I am suprised the likes of Contra 3 and Super Metroid didn't make the grade though.
On youtube this looks like an awesome game i do wounder if this is worth getting though since i heard some people saying they loved this game and others saying its avergae. I am really puzzled :S
I am really impreassed with the amount of great quality titles nintendo managed to put up last year.
Even though things have dried up a bit for the VC there still have been some great hits like Lords of Thunder, Phantasy Star 2, 1800 Snowboarding, Kirby, Street Gangs,Super Turrican,Harvest Moon etc.
Heck this slowdown of releases gives me time to download more titles i didn't get to download last year.
Yay finally Super-R Type is finally here. I was actually praying it would come to the VC the day before. even though its not as good as the other 2 R-Types on the VC i will still give this a go.
Operation Wolf on the otherhand is really pointless due to the lack of zapper support and it doesen't help its a bad arcade port. Would be better if it was Ghosts and Goblins though.
Awesome could this mean a possible sequal to axelay? Heres hoping to more 2d side scrollers. After all Konami are responsible for great VC hits like Probotector and Gradius.
Played this when it was unlocked on Animal Crossing, Kinda unremarkable, i only played for 5 mins then i just switched it off again due to the dullness of not batting.
Definitely avoiding ths one, i read a review back in the N64 days from NOM (it was an offical nintendo magazine in my country) which they gave this game a bad review saying the game can be completed quickly and the music is awful. The sequel is better though.
Axelay is awesome but why do us Europeans have to suffer waiting for this game? Australia got it like 4 months ago. @ Homer Simpson Probotector 2 for the NES isn't on the Australia and New Zealand VC console.
Not much of a suprise since there are loads of great games like A link to the Past, Super Mario 64, Sonic 1,2,3 Streets of Rage, the list goes on. Heck i have about 20 games downloaded and i am struggling to download all those great games

Re: OFLC Update: Three New Neo Geo Games Rated
Mr Poo 1200? correct me if i am wrong but aren't NEO GEO games 900 points each?
Oh and i hope the fatal fury series come up real soon. Me want Mark Of The Wolves.
Re: EU VC Releases - 11th April - C64 And Master System Madness

Re: Another OFLC Update - Turbografx Imports Galore!
Import titles FTW glad Hudson decided to bring Gradius II to the VC.

Re: J.J. & Jeff
LOL sounds like a crazy game judging from the review. Such a shame the gameplay sounds a bit rubbish though.
Re: Super Thunder Blade
Sounds like a bad arcade conversion but at least the music is catchy.
Re: Super R-Type
So going to download this the next time i get my Wii online. I loved the other two r-types that are currently on the VC.
Re: APRIL FOOL: Virtual Boy Confirmed for Virtual Console
Awwww i wish i logged onto this site yeasterday.
Would be kinda cool if the VB did come to the VC though.
Re: EU VC Releases - 28th March - Commodore 64
Yay for adding two games to the C64 libary. Might give IK a go first.
I won't be getting Crusin USA for sure since it was a rubbish game during the N64 days. The sequal might be worth checking out though.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - April 2008
Dracula X would be an awesome addition for the Turbographx libary. And so is Phantasy Star 3 since this is a sign us europeans are getting any month now.
Also glad that the Neo Geo is getting updated again, though since you can get Metal Slug with 5 others on the antologey version i don't see any reason to download this.
Re: Master System Hitting US 'Soon', 400 Points Per Game
I hope the same deal comes to Europe. Paying a mere 400 points has gotten me more tempted to buy MS games.
Re: EU VC Release - March 20th - Sega Week - Mega Turrican
1 game a week again?. Oh well at least its a decent game. Somethng was telling me we would get another turrican game withn two months of the SNES version release.
Will check the SNES version out before i download this though just to see if i like it.
Re: Virtual Console Top 20 – March 12th to March 19th
Not suprised with the VCs to 20 since it all the games up there are nostelgic titles. I am suprised the likes of Contra 3 and Super Metroid didn't make the grade though.
Re: Vectorman
On youtube this looks like an awesome game i do wounder if this is worth getting though since i heard some people saying they loved this game and others saying its avergae. I am really puzzled :S
Re: Talking Point: The State of Play of the Virtual Console
@ Bass X0 i meant titles like Super Probotector, Super Mario Bros 3

Played this when it was unlocked on Animal Crossing, Kinda unremarkable, i only played for 5 mins then i just switched it off again due to the dullness of not batting.
Re: Wii TV Guide channel available for Japanese users
To me its kinda pointless. I think I'll stick to my normal TV guide.
Re: Hardware Focus - Commodore 64
Very intreasting article you got there
C64 sounds like a great addition to the Virtual Console. As long as the great C64 games come up avalable i'll be a happy lil retro gamer.
Re: First Official Images of the New Neo-Geo Stick for Wii
Looks cool though it would only consider getting it if there are about 10 to 15 Neo Geo Games avalable.
Besides i don't know if this will work with other VC games so i gusss I'll pass.
Re: Cruis'n USA
Definitely avoiding ths one, i read a review back in the N64 days from NOM (it was an offical nintendo magazine in my country) which they gave this game a bad review saying the game can be completed quickly and the music is awful. The sequel is better though.
Re: Adventure Island
Might download this, it looks fun and has catchy music.
Re: EU VC Releases - 22nd February - Street Gangs
Yay two NES games, thinking about getting adventure island at some point anyway.
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th February - Sega Week - Phantasy Star II
Well this is a good suprise. I might get Phantasy Star 2 when i get my Wii online. Heres hoping next week will be the same for the VC.
Re: R-Type
By far the best TG-16 up on the VC so far, This is a great yet very hard game. I can only get up to level 3 ):

Axelay is awesome but why do us Europeans have to suffer waiting for this game? Australia got it like 4 months ago.
