Hmmm, no EU/US versions this time? Guess it's nothing big then...

That's my list, I've been buying all my PS1 game on my US account (for 60hz support of course) Doesn't matter anyway since this update is rendered completely useless for me thanks to the fact that my Vita refuses to connect to my PS3 for content transfers and that they now force you to format your memory card when you switch accounts (you can't choose not to format anymore ) So now I have to choose between Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (and my other games) and a fraction of my PS1 collection... Thanks for nothing Sony!

Considering that it's still scheduled for release in 2012 in Japan, I'd be shocked if it wasn't here! (It'll probably be their main focus) Let's just hope we get a Shibata Special (NOE Nintendo direct) again this time!

Oh! How nice of them to finally start revealling this week's DLC in advance again! Just Force Your Way for me this week.

Balance Board for walking/sliding. Wiimote Plus for sword. Wii U Gamepad for your shield. MAKE IT HAPPEN NINTENDO!

Doesn't even remotely resemble the original DS game gameplay wise. It's a complete slap in the face to fans of the original and goes to prove how integral the original DS hardware was to the original game's design (At least it validates the design choices that the original developers made!) We deserve better than this. TWEWY deserves better than this Edit: This port is done by h.a.n.d (Kingdom Hearts 365/2), Jupiter aren't involved. Good. Wouldn't want to see them involved in butchering their own work. Too bad that S-E don't care about pissing on their legacy

The vast majority of DS and GBA sales came from the US and EU. Handhelds are a bigger market in the west than consoles (uncombined) Western devs (outside a select few) just don't get the handheld market period.

Kirby Star Stacker is our next 3DS VC game http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/nintendo_3ds_virtual_console/kirbys_star_stacker_54742.html Always wanted to play this one! There's only one GB Kirby game left to go after this one (Kirby's Tilt N' Tumble)

Before anything else, get Link's Awakening and Donkey Kong 94. All the ones I've listed are great, but those two stand out in particular as two of the very best games ever made.

GB VC: Super Mario Land 1 & 2, Wario Land 1 & 2, Link's Awakening, Donkey Kong GB, Kirby's Dreamland 1 & 2, Kirby Block Ball, Kirby Pinball Land, Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters, Metroid 2, Game & Watch Gallery 1 & 2, Catrap, Mega Man Dr Wily's Revenge, Gargoyle's Quest, Tetris, Blaster Master Enemy Below, Mario's Picross, Toki Tori 3DS Downloads: Art of Balance, Dillon's Rolling Western, Fun! Fun! Minigolf, Mighty Switch Force, Pullblox, VVVVVV, Potzol's Puzzle, 3D Classics Excitebike, 3D Classic's Kirby's Adventure DSiWare: 3D Space Tank, Reflect Missile, Pop Island & Paper Field, Dragon Quest Wars, Pinball Pulse, All Art-Style games, Shantae Risky's Revenge, Aura-Aura Climber, Little bit of: Dr Mario, GO Series: Picdun, Ivy the Kiwi? Mini (unless you've got the superior retail version), Little bit of: Planet Puzzle League (unless you've got the superior retail version), Link 'n' Launch, Bird & Bombs, Mighty Flip Champs!, Mighty Milky Way, Mr. Driller: Drill Till You Drop, Paper Plane, Pyoro, Starship Patrol, Brain Training Arts & Brain Training Maths (They are NOT the same as the retail games, they are collectively the 3rd game in the series!) You're welcome

Or maybe both Twilight Princess AND Skyward Sword are amazing? Just a thought... (Something, something, Zelda Cycle )

But of course!

Once more (even if nobody is reading this thread anymore ) I'll enjoy them all, even if nobody else here will

Yep, the whole shebang!

Better yet, play it with a mate. One of THE best co-op games ever made! It even has a version of Gradius that you can play in the game's arcade!

Quite a few of my picks have already been taken, but what the hell! I'll post my thoughts anyway (gotta counterbalance my positivity from the Wii sequel thread!) 1: Madworld A great tech/game concept demo that goes absolutely nowhere. Much like Gravity Rush on Vita, this game is a fine example of style over substance. You have one really fun core mechanic (beating up enemies to stagger them and then using the environment to kill them) that ends up being reused endlessly. Each level, outside of a few choice boss fights (the motorbike one springs to mind), is pretty much exactly the same with most environmental mechanics being repeated across levels. A damn shame. Easily Clover/Platinum Games' weakest game. 2: Animal Crossing Wild World City Folk I don't really need to go over the reason why I was disappointed by this game. We all know why. It was a great port of Wild World, but it wasn't a new game 3: Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz This was the end of the Monkey Ball series. All my hopes of a true sequel to SMB 1 & 2 (The DS game didn't really count, even if it wasn't completely terrible in all respects) were dashed by this travesty. The most ironic thing of all about this game is that the one thing that you would've thought that SEGA might fuck up (the motion controls) actually turned out to be really good! The problem was everything else... Horrific level design (Barriers everywhere, non-existent difficulty, boring levels that were devoid of any interesting gimmicks or personality, levels that went on far too long - 120 seconds!?, a broken jumping system that broke the way that levels worked etc) A Busted level progression system (gone was the normal arcade mode, replaced with a standard level select system that gave you infinite continues - the change to having 10 bananas giving you a life instead of 100 didn't help either! - Instead you were given the "pleasure" of being tasked to collect every single banana in the most tedious of manners possible in place of actual challenging and interesting stages!) Sanity testing "boss battles" (terribly designed monstrosities that knocked you around for 3 minutes and bored you senseless) Amazingly crafted minigames given the boot in favour of outsourced shovelware garbage that wouldn't even sell on iOS! Oh and that's before we even mention the iconic presentation of the GCN/Arcade games being jettisoned in favour of that monstrosity they call an "art style" and a "music". Utterly disgusting. Gimme back MY AiAi!

Damn, this thread has just made me salty again about the lack of Mystical Ninja on the Wii VC Love the SNES game, always wanted to play the N64 ones. Ahh well, maybe on the Wii U we'll see the N64 VC get revived! Anyway, back on topic! Sequels to Wii games that I'd love to see... 1: Wii Music I spent countless hours and made well over 100 arrangements with this gem! Redshell knocked it out of the park when he said it was one of the most misunderstood and underappreciated games ever made! (so much fun was had making NES/DJ/Beatbox versions of classical music ) This was a game that was unfairly doomed by its disastrous E3 2008 showing (leading the media to carpet bomb it from then all the way to launch and beyond) and nobody really gave it a chance, thinking that it should've just been a Guitar Hero/Rock Band clone. That being said, there's a lot that could be done with a sequel. Motionplus controls for the drumkit set (which were far too complicated and completely un-intuitive on the original, which had to rely on button modifiers because the original Wiimote wasn't accurate enough on its own), more songs, a song composer, online music and arrangement sharing, Miiverse integration and more! This needs to happen! 2: Zack & Wiki A brilliantly inventive puzzler that took full advantage of the Wii remote. Great characters, a lovely world, great music and brilliantly designed gameplay (barring a few unfortunate blemishes - I still remember that sword fighting in the final level UGH! ) Wii Motionplus and the Wii U Gamepad open up huge avenues for new forms of potential gameplay. Enhanced motion controls allow for new forms of interactivity (and improved typical interactions - we can have proper sword fighting now! ), while the U Pad would allow for a dual perspective on the game world (this could change depending on the stage, with some solutions only coming into focus when you look upon their differences, OR it could offer a simple zoomed out view in other stages which shows the whole level at once - ALA Pikmin 3!) A match made in heaven! 3: Konami/M2's ReBirth series The best thing to come out of Konami from this current generation on consoles by a country mile. Such a tragedy that they cut this series short (WHERE'S MY FUCKING LIFE FORCE REBIRTH THAT YOU PROMISED ME KONAMI!?) I want ReBirth revivals of more classic Konami IPs (Sunset Riders, Parodius, Twinbee, Rocket Knight - the XBLA game was dog shite, FUCKING Life Force and yes even Goemon ReBirth OH YEAH!!!) as well as sequels to the current ones. Let M2 do what you're not capable of anymore!

Oh man, I feel so sorry for Debug Mode's bollocks...

More support from Nicalis on the eShop. This time it's a port of a Japanese 2D fighter called Yatagarasu (Yes, like AAI!) that was made by ex SNK (King of Fighters) team members! http://blog.nicalis.com/2012/08/nicalis-strikes-with-yatagarasu-fighting-game-playpax-prime-2012/ I'm not a big fighting game fan (outside of a selected few series), but this looks pretty damn cool! Nice to see more quality stuff hitting the eShop. Let's just hope that Nicalis don't bollock this one up for Europe this time!

Hey! Don't tar me with the same brush, I have the game too! (fits the Vita like a glove, wouldn't want the PS3 version) Fills the Mario Golf hole quite nicely!

Fuck me, that's just miserable I'm not even a Wipeout fan and this news saddens me. SC Liverpool is, by far, Sony's most iconic 1st Party studio. They (and Wipeout) ARE Playstation! Bloody sad. Sony's falling apart at the seams.

Oh man, it's gotten even sadder. Everybody's Golf Vita (Minna No Golf 6) is getting ported to PS3 now! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487949 Even SCEJ are bailing on Vita! (BTW they have never ported one of their Japanese made games from handheld to console before, unlike SCEA and SCEE who gave up on PSP relatively early. This is a first - and sets a very bad precedent for the Vita's future ) Next up, Gravity Rush PS3? (hopefully the Cross Buy initiative also works in reverse!)

For Ambassadors, the games are getting upgraded to the usual VC release standards (Permanent save states & proper NES console icons in the main menu) Also certain games that feature simultaneous multiplayer like Ice Climbers are getting Wireless Download Play multiplayer added (previously you could only swap controllers for turn based multi)

Those Theatrhythm tracks are from last week. That's the 2nd time that Eurogamer have made that mistake... [cough]Also 2020 Super Baseball is a NeoGeo VC game, not a Wii Ware game[/cough] Anyway, lots of free goodies for me this week it seems, with the NES VC game updates and another demo (about time we got a new one!)

Yeah, it's a remix of Calling for 3 Days remaining... it's real. YES! It's the only truly good thing (Dragon Quest not withstanding) to come out of Square Enix last generation! This had better be for 3DS and not a shitty iOS game. The game was practically made for S3D presentation too! (what with the moving in and out of the screen that you got with the original game) And they could do much with having the 2 screens being of different sizes this time! Also, no Jupiter, no sale!
