If only they would actually release alot of their classic catalog as ______ All Stars, I don't think people would complain as much.

I wouldn't complain.

Hell, I thought the $30 rerelease of SMB All-stars was cool mostly because of the fancy packaging. I realize it's just a rom on a disc but I never thought we'd see that much.

New game choices up for Club Nintendo. The only VC choice is Majora's Mask for 150 coins and the only Wiiware choice is Dr. Mario Online... RX? It's 100 coins. Both through Jan. 31.

All 50 Wii Ware Demos are up on the Wii Shop Channel. Get them all!

Whoa! I have 230 coins from I don't even remember when. And you're saying I can get games with them? Sweet!

How long have they been giving away games for coins? What did they give away in the past?

Thanks for the info!

I think this is only the second month.

Awww, crap. They had Super Mario Kart and Fluidity last month. Ah well. Still, very happy with Majora's Mask. I've been meaning to go back and play that one again. There was one fairy I never found in the Water palace and it's been nagging me for a long, long time.

yeah I missed fluidity.. oh well.

Today's Releases are...

Strider (Genesis) - 800 points
Hulu Plus - Free App Download, $7.99 a month service

Mother of god, a VC game!

Mega Man X2 last week

Double Dragon 2 this week

MADNESS I TELLS YA, MADNESS!

All we need now is TMNT 2: The Arcade Game and the circle will be complete.

Frankly I would like to see "SoulBlazer", "Terranigma" and the "7th Saga" games. Of all the games NOT to include yet "Terranigma" seems a no brainer as it was translated into English but just never got a release here.

La Mulana is out!

Went ahead and downloaded it. Still have 4000 points left thanks to that Pepsi promotion a year plus back. Waiting for Retro City Rampage.

How does Last Blade play? Considering that the other ports of the game were based on the Neo Geo CD version, that has good music but crappy load times, this must be based on the MVS version right?

Donkey Kong Country 1-3 is gone from the Virtual Console. Nice of Nintendo to tell us ahead of time.
Also being removed from the Europe Store. No word on why this happened. Can anyone think of any Donkey Kong anniversary coming up? http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh..._Console/10566

I have all 3 on the VC so I'm good. It does seem strange though.

I would've at least grabbed the first one if I knew they were going away.

Although if they show up in a compilation, I'll be thrilled beyond belief.

I'm calling it... HD re-makes of all 3 NES versions, plus original arcade version that appeared in DK64... and as an added bonus, you can download the GB 100 level version if you register your game with Club Nintendo.

I thought I remember someone saying that this may have happened before (perhaps with DKC, perhaps some other first/second party games) where the issue was that something had to be negotiated regarding the license or something else legal related.

I could see the compilation route as well.

Probably would have grabbed at least DKC if I had known about them being taken down.

Is there currently a Wii U version of this thread?

Any thread similar to the PSN/XBLA threads but for Wii U?

There is no licensing issues with the DKC games though. Nintendo owns everything about them. I've been told this first hand. It's more likely they were taken down because they look completely awful now.

And no, there is no Wii U eShop thread...yet.
