It’s a decent game but I kind of find this version overhyped since the music feels a bit average when compared to Sonic 2 and 3. And there’s no since of speed either. Only for those who really loved sonic 2 and 3 and want more sonic action.
Great. Just hope that Square will actually put up Chrono Trigger on the Virtual Console rather than create a remake of it. I prefer actual versions of games over re-makes for some reason.
This is a very very good game. Such a crime it never came out in europe and america. Its so good even the training mode keeps making me come back to the game.
What a nice suprise. I wasn't expecting Metal Slug this month since this is import month. Could be because this weeks imports were kind of predictable. (i knew Cho Aniki and Break In would come this week). Any how this is the best VC update for europe in ages.
Hey this is a nice suprise for you north amercians. Infact this almost makes up for the last crappy N64 game we got two months ago. I wounder what import N64 game we will get this month?
Gradius games doesn't usally intreast me since they sound far too different to the arcade versions. But this version sounds really good if its near arcade perfect.
Heh 3 of my most wanted games are up on the list (Super Mario rpg, Earthbound Chrono Trigger). Was expecting Super Mario RPG up on the list though. Maybe now Nintendo will hopefuly take notice how much we really want those games.
Wait a minute so the European version is blood free? Very retro of nintendo ): . I hope the european virtual console version is faithful to its neo geo counterpart.
My first ever VC download. What a teriffic game. The dungons are very clever with creepy music. Best SNES game ever. The only actual flaw in this game is that it actually ends. Highly recomended for a mere 800 points.
1 game a week again boooo. Still at least its a decent game. Shame its the weakest game in the series though. This should have been released last week along with the Master System games to make it a proper Sega week

Re: Elevator Action
(looks at title)

Re: Tecmo Bowl
There are probably better games for the VC but it would be cool if it came over here in europe as it sounds like a title that is well worth a look.
Re: Star Soldier
GameGod who knows. There might be a chance of it coming to europe if it was released for the NES here.

Re: EU VC Releases - 16th May - Third Hanabi Festival Week
samman aren't hanabi festival games running at 60hz? The same goes for Gley Lancer and Puyo Puyo 2 since they are imports.
Re: Digital Champ: Battle Boxing
Meh i'll give it a miss, there are better games on the VC. The lack of comments on this page also kinda shows a lack of intrest.
Re: Star Parodier
Very impressive review. If the music and controls are this good then i will defintly download this the next time i get my Wii online.
Re: EU VC Releases - 16th May - Third Hanabi Festival Week

Re: Ubisoft Brings Protothea to WiiWare

Re: Samurai Shodown II
As far as i heard this is actually supossed to be the best of the Samurai Shodown games.
Re: EarthBound

Re: Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou
Gradius games doesn't usally intreast me since they sound far too different to the arcade versions. But this version sounds really good if its near arcade perfect.
Re: Nintendo Wii hard drive coming soon?
About time. I only have about 380 Blocks left and i plan on downloading tons of games soon even games that take loads of memory like TurboDuo titles.
Re: EU VC Releases - 2nd May - The Hanabi Festival Returns!
YAY for another Hanabi Festival. Downloading Gradius 2 and Final Soldier for sure. Such a shame we got palmed of with Columns 3 though.
Congrats to Damo have a good one.
Re: RPG Titles Dominate Nintendo Power’s Most Wanted List
Heh 3 of my most wanted games are up on the list (Super Mario rpg, Earthbound Chrono Trigger). Was expecting Super Mario RPG up on the list though. Maybe now Nintendo will hopefuly take notice how much we really want those games.

Re: Splatterhouse
Saw a video of this on youtube and it looks and sounds awesome. One question though.
Was the PC-Engine version cut down like the Turbographx version?
Re: Pop
Looks pritty cool. Wounder how it plays. Sounds promising.
Re: WiiWare: Pop Pricing Still Unconfirmed
Hopefuly it will be about 600 or 700. Wii points are very very tight for me since i have loads of VC games to download.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
My first ever VC download. What a teriffic game. The dungons are very clever with creepy music. Best SNES game ever. The only actual flaw in this game is that it actually ends. Highly recomended for a mere 800 points.
Re: Fatal Fury 2
Cool dunno if this is better than Fatal Fury but at least it brings us closer to Garou: Mark Of The Wolves (its in the fatal fury series)
Re: US VC Releases - 28th April - Double Dragon
Only one game ouch. Good job us europeans get C64 games too.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - May 2008
Heres hoping the release of Axelay in Japan will mean us europeans get a chance to download it soon (its long overdue)
More NEO GEO games would be cool since we never any got update for a long time.
Re: Axelay
Ok its almost 6 or 7 months and still no Axelay? What are you playing at Nintendo. :S
Re: Top 20 'popular titles' on the Virtual Console - April 2008 (USA)
How can Cruis’n USA come to the chart? Shame 3rd party games like Contra 3 and R-Type arent on the list.
Re: EU VC Releases - 25th April - The Last Ninja
Not a bad week. Two decent C64 games and one decent NES game? Count Me In. Was hoping for Samrai Shodown on the NEO GEO though.
Re: New WiiWare Game: Gyrostarr
Wiiware just gets better and better every time a game is announced. Such a shame i have loads and loads of VC games to download. ):
Re: Sega Fans Rejoice: Alex Kidd In Miracle World Is Coming
Always wanted to try this game out. Now the Master System VC Libary is starting to get intreasting.
I heard there is one dodgy Alex Kidd game, can't think of it's name now.
Re: Three Interplay-Owned Franchises Coming to VC
Glad Earthworm Jim Is finally confirmed for the VC. Always wanted to try the game out. Would have been sweeter if it was the SNES versions though.
Re: Japan To Get Dracula X And Metal Slug Next Tuesday
Heres hoping Rondo of Blood gets announced in europe the last minute before the upcoming Hanibi Festival.
Re: EU VC Release - 18th April - Sega Week - Phantasy Star III
1 game a week again boooo. Still at least its a decent game. Shame its the weakest game in the series though. This should have been released last week along with the Master System games to make it a proper Sega week
