Finally Super Punch-Out!!. I was actually thinking about when it would appear or get rated. Won't get too excited till it comes out though.

Looks.. alright. But I would prefer to play the arcade version rather than the outdated NES port. But even then I can live without this game.

Yeah i would love to see more SNES titles this year. I hope we get the likes of Earthbound, Illusion of Time and SoulBlazer. And even Yoshis Island too even though I own the GBA version I would love to play the proper version.

Oh good lord I knew we would get those games this week. This is the most craptacular update we ever had.

Well for me the VC has been fantastic since it first started I have downloaded 60+ titles. It has gotten me into games that I never got the chance to play since I only started gaming during the N64 days. I was always interested in retro gaming but I never liked setting up multiple systems. I even play VC games way more than regular Wii games.

Although I do have to admit I am starting to get a tiny bit worried since there seems to be slowdown in recent weeks with even just 1 game a week for NA which doesn't look to good for Europeans either especially if a game that comes out that will not interest anybody. I also wish something was done about different games been released since they can take far too long to come over here like Secret of Mana and Mario Golf and ST 2 which we are still waiting for. Oh and then there’s the 50hz problem since I can't stand some games with slower music especially Castlevania and Sonic The Hedgehog.

There will be quite a few Hanabi titles coming around sometime this year even if Hudson doesn't announce any Turbograpx games. Although i am not too sure about this game, I still need to play Kirby's Adventure.

Oh and I could have sworn Super Turrican 2 did come out in PAL.

Well that was a suprise. I was expecting Mercs or Wonderboy. I guess we will have to wait ages for this game just for Hanabi. Hmmmmm

Wasn't expecting this to come out. But darn it looks like us europeans will have to wait a while since it never came over here.

Eh? I wasn't expecting this. Well it sounds good and i might get this if it comes over here since i quite liked the original.

I have this on N64 since i was a kid. Quite good fun although cumbersome nowadays since the sequels offer far more depth. I still play it today though.

OMG OMG OMG. Secret Of Mana. But why did it take this long to arrive here? Ah well i downloaded anyway and i love it.

Finally an N64 game. And it's Super Smash Bros too.

And I found TTYD quite addictive. Last boss was murder though.

@Bass X0 I didn't spot it untill just now

Finally SOM. But why did it take this long?

@ Super Flip release Mario Golf and you guys will get CVIII. The hostages are getting released lol.

Might get this but the crappy slow PAL music puts me off. Looks great though.

A good week but even so it's another 1 game that most people already have on PS2 collection. I hope this means we get SoM this week.

"A Nintendo fanboy arms himself himself from Sony fans."

Ugh terrible The old NOM would be great at this (Sigh) .

I know I don't usually post here (only use this account for VC-R), but this is another fine WiiWare week for Europe. I might get WoG sometime time soon, the only thing that puts me off is the large block size. Wiiware is starting to get real good despite the WW library having quite a lot of shovelware titles.

I hope we get SoM next week.

Kinda similar except Gradius II is a CD game that came on the TurboDuo which was an add on for the TurboGrafx resulting in CD quality music. The extra feature is well worth the 200 points.

Us europeans are holding Castlevania III hostage untill we at least get Secret of Mana or Mario Golf 64.

Another 1 game week except this week is a worse update than last week. I doubt people are going to get excited this update.

@ lockelocke
Because we have the extended version of this game. In japan the PC-Engine version of R-Type actually came on two Hucards which means they have to pay 1200 to download both.

Sounds very decent but sadly i will have to pass with this since I found the original too hard. Then again puzzles arn't my cup of tea.

A decent week. I might get LN3 sometime when I beat LN2. Won't be getting IM2 since i didn't like the orginal much.Oh and still no SoM. Boo Nintendo

"The TurboGrafx port of R-Type is a faultless rendition of the arcade original with hardly any differences"

Well i disagree with that too. The sound, the music and the graphics are downgraded in places. This is more of a conversion than a port. If you need an arcade perefct port I hear R-Types on the PS1 is your best shot.

I thought NA never got this game. Even if it comes out this week i doubt i will get this since i never liked this game much on gems collection.

I already gave up hoping for SoM to come out to the EU. Looks like we are getting just 2 games again this week. Doesn't Nintendo know it's almost xmas?

By the way things are going you guys will be lucky if PSIV and Castlenania III came out this year. I have a feeling it's another 1 game week again with either Earthworm Jim 2 or Clayfighter. Lame.

Another 1 game week? Not good especially since most people may not be interested in Sonic 2 on the MS. I guess we are less likely to see Secret of Mana now.

@Betagam7 according to Gamefaqs this did come to europe. Might reconsider getting this myself if it means slower music.

@RadioShadow dunno about HD support but the PAL Metal Slug 2 takes up about 170 blocks. For NTSC regions it's slightly less most of the time.

Lame another 1 game week for you guys. I knew this would happen. I hope we don't get the same treatment. We really need SoM.

I really can't see whats so great about this game. The NES conversion is terrible, it sounds terrible and the fact that the 2nd level in this game isn't included really puts the final nail in the coffin for me. If you really want to play this game play the arcade version on DK64. The sounds are way better and it even has the factory level.

Finally finished this awesome game. For me I enjoyed this so much that it goes up there very close to my favourite games list. One of the best SNES games ever released, and judging by the readers rating i can see how people feel very strongly about this game as i am. Not to be missed.

Awesome life force. Might give it a download if it's good. Although i would like to play the PC Engine version.

Disappointing week for me. If it wasn't for the fact I already own the Metal Slug Anthology I would have downloaded Metal Slug 2. Oh and it's great we finally get a SNES game but why Space Invaders instead of Secret of Mana? NoE really knows how to delay anticipated SNES games don't they?

@Starwolf_UK According to wikipedia there are a couple of Mega Drive games released on the VC that never got released in Japan (Vectorman for example)

Dunno. Looking on Gamefaqs I can't see an EU date nor can I see PAL copies on eBay. I guess this is one of those SNES games that got quickly got forgotten about overtime.

Meh! I am sure most people are annoyed by the lack of Castlevania III. Shame it's also another 1 game week again. Almost as lame as waiting for Secret of Mana.

Snakeman is actually very easy when you know when to do those slightly tricky jumping bits. Although you do need needleman's weapon to make the boss fight easier.

Still the key to easily completing a robot masters level is to know the bosses weakness as well as the layout to the level. I actually think the Mega Man games are easy and are not as hard as people say they are.

Weird, I managed to get up to the Dr Wily stages in just 1 day and this was in difficulty level, although i still haven't completed the game yet . A very good game but not as hard as people say it is.

Not too shabby, but i still prefer my classic controler.

Maybe Nintendo also felt sorry about him having his house burgeled. I guess to get free VC games you really need to convince Nintendo with your wallet.

Looks and sounds great, although i would rather get the official version made by nintendo for obvious reasons.

I have about 4 TurboDuo games, one NEO GEO and 4 N64 games that i can barely play much since i keep swaping just to keep them on my Wii menu. Anyway i am trying to complete Ys 1 & 2 just to make space on my Wii.

Great! although it's still annoying to keep deleting and transferring big VC and WiiWare from the SD card. Now if only there was an update for 60hz support on all VC games.

I think this might be my favourite Mega Man game. I really like most of the music in this game as well as the level and boss designs. Must finally finish 2 and 9 after i finish this game off.

@Mipsymoodle This game is easier if you use the right weapons for right boss. Keep practising the layout each of the stage. They get far easier when you know how they work and when you should jump in the right moments.

Well there was me thinking about downloading PS4. Since i found out that the music runs slower than the NTSC version i think i will give this a miss for now. Keep up the poor conversions Nintendo/Sega all it's doing is stopping me from downloading more games that have slower music.

Well happy birthday VCR. If it wasn't for this site i wouldn't know where to turn to for written reviews and and what games have come to the PAL VC. Keep up the good work.

@LinktotheFuture good idea, although only about 5 or 6 games on the disc are of intreast to me. Not really a huge fan of compilations for this reason. Might buy it myself though since i see a couple of copies on ebay going cheap.

At least you guys have SoM and Mario Golf. Us europeans have been waiting ages for those games to come out.
