Those are the top 5 SNES VC games ...
 
Wow, a lot of people picked up Super Mario World... I held off as I've played it pretty recently on the GBA and own the cart.

I did however, pick up A Link to the Past, and Super Castlevania IV.

Nothing for me this Monday, oh well.
 
[quote name='snipegod']Those are the top 5 SNES VC games ...[/quote]Since when is reading required on CAG, sheesh.

I wonder if they list off the top sellers for the other platforms. :reads: Ah, one system per month.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']According to Gamespot, Final Fight's headed to the Wii.[/QUOTE]
Uh, yeah, this has already been covered... it came out today.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']
Would be nice if we got Final Fight 2 and 3 though.[/QUOTE]

I would be surprised if Capcom didn't bring them... I'm sure they will.

Final Fight 3 was an amazing beat em up that not many people got to play.
 
I'd like to know, why the hell didn't they release the one with Guy in it? And when the hell are they going to release Super Metroid? Most of these VC games don't even interest me. I hope they release General Chaos, that game was freakin fun.
 
I miss my Wii. It's still hooked up, but I just don't feel like playing it. The newest VC games haven't got me that excited. I think I've been spoiled having seen the XBLA.

Which is weird, because I think the VC is far and away better than XBLA.

The novelty wears off when you realize most XBLA games are hot for the first week they come out, then no one plays them online and they just rot on your hard drive because most of them have no real replay value once you finish them.

I had about 16 or 17 XBLA games, and multiplayer was dead in every single one after the first few days / week , and the only one I ever played more than twice was Lumines.

Not to mention I felt $10 for a mediocre homemade game wasn't my cup of tea... $10 for SOTN, yes, $10 for Boom Boom Rocket or whatever else they push out? Hell no.

Different strokes, I guess.

And this may prove to be true. I have only had the VC for a week now so the expeirence is new to me right now. In the end I'm just glad that I have both to play. I look at my 360 as a 500 dollar Uno machine.
 
WORLDWIDE NEWS:



Europe's VC releases for today:

Ninja Spirit - TG 16
NES Open Tournament Golf - NES

We'll probably be getting Ninja Spirit this Monday, we are the only region not to have it and it's been confirmed for May multiple times.

On May 15th, Japan is getting a bunch of Japanese games, but they are also getting Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesis!

Also, on the wiki VC page for Australia, they have Super Mario Bros 2 as one of the announced games... I know it's a big duh, but it's still nice to see it might come out relatively soon somewhere.

US NEWS:


EDIT: Hudson has already confirmed we're getting Ninja Spirit this Monday.

And a review!!

Apparently Ninja Spirit is by Irem, who made R-Type... I might actually check it out.

Thanks to Botticus for the six minute long VIDEO he found!!!

Guy makes the game look easy but I think he's been playing it for a long time.

I think this will be my first blind buy, it looks awesome.
 
Ninja Spirit, isn't that a Shinobi/old-school-ninja-gaiden clone?

Of course, it also sounds like a cheerleading squad gone mad as well...
 
[quote name='gunm']Ninja Spirit, isn't that a Shinobi/old-school-ninja-gaiden clone?[/quote]
Pretty much. It has a bunch of different weapons that you can always switch between.

[quote name='RAMSTORIA']really? i thought we got the same games 2 weeks in a row[/QUOTE]


There's this little micro collection of numbers up there that we refer to as a 'date'.
Not the kind you go out on with your mom, these are the kind that help us track what day is being referred to.
Isn't that neato?

Wow I miss this thread. I used to be so excited for these VC games, but with how XBLA has been lately.. sorry Wii ;(

ANYway, predictions on tomorrow? Anything confirmed..?
I wanna play my Wii! I need a reason to do it. At least I'll be using it FREQUENTLY once Mario Party 8 comes out! Thank GOD that's soon!

Its been pretty crappy lately. I understand were not gonna get a Zelda or Mario every week, but give us something!
 
If it was the SNES version of Ms PacMan then i would be all over that...Never heard of Ninja Spirit..oh well. Maybe next week lol :(
12,000+ Wii points stay still once again.
 
[quote name='botticus']Wow, people aren't excited about Ninja Gaiden?[/QUOTE]
When they're putting off releases like Mario RPG and Kirby's Dream Course, it's hard to get excited about Ninja Gaiden.
 
[quote name='botticus']Oh fuck yes. Ninjas up the wazoo!


Ninja Gaiden (NES)
[/QUOTE]


Hell yeah. Sure its not Mario 2 or 3, or Baseball Stars(which I know deep down we'll never get), but Ninja Gaiden? Deal me in, VC.
 
[quote name='lordwow']Mmm no Ninja Gaiden for me, that's what I have Ninja Gaiden Black for.[/quote]But that's the lackluster Arcade game not the NES game. The original NG release had the NES games, but it's all moot for me since I don't think any of them work on the 360.

NG for me for sure today, and maybe Pac Man. I got it for free on the 360 but using the CC might be a whole lot nicer.

Touche.

Or you could just be patient for those relases, and enjoy great games like Ninja Gaiden.
 
Hmm Ninja Gaiden, now thats tempting. It's kinda like Castlevania, I wanna pick it up, but the problem is I have 1100 points and I don't have the money to spend on Wii points, lol. So basically I am saving my points in hope of that some super awesome game comes out, lol.
