Puzzle League Express sounds like a pretty good value at 500 points.

any of you who bought the internet channel, we should be getting 500 points credit on our accounts for a free game in a month or so, i think. That's good to know. I dont know how far back they're going with purchases.

I'm just curious if they're gonna give folks a free game out of select choices or something.

I believe they said it was *any* NES game. The question is will they just give us 500 points, or make us choose from all the NES games and get a download token specifically for that game? Either is fine with me, though.

I'm kinda curious about the upgrades to the internet channel. It said the the flash player would be upgraded from ver.7 to lite ver. 3.something. Anyone know if that means anything specifically (other than it should work better now)?

This week, Europe got just 1 WiiWare game, Contra ReBirth - WiiWare/1000 Points.

North America is getting is Monday.

Say what?

CONTRA REBIRTH ON MONDAY

COMPLETE WITH PLAYABLE LOLI-BOT

(Actually, her name is Brownie and most likely based on Browny from Hard Corps.)

Ain't that swell?

I have no idea if mine even updated correctly or not, i'm afraid if I delete and re-install they won't give me 500 points. Or maybe they will. Idk.

I'm a little tired of these express titles. I would rather have new games than broken-down compilations of others.

Hey, at least they aren't more clocks/calculators with new themes!

I'm going to get contra rebirth.

The final stage of Jedi is probably the most frustrating game most moment I have ever played. And that was with a Game Genie.

yeah the star wars snes were pretty hard, first one is okay tho

Jesus Christ I haven't ever wanted a Wii until today! Muramasa and Contra Rebirth, damn!

I'm probably going to finally get Super Star Wars, though I'm afraid of the difficulty, and, from this batch, Contra Rebirth, though i'm afraid of the difficulty.
