HOOLLLYY SSSHHHHH there one's are way better than we europeans thats just noy fair

[flameboy]

their SNES list is so much better than ours...

[Samdecahedron]

Wow, sort of makes ours looks a bit rubbish! Why is there only Mario 64 on all the N64 ones?

[Nintendork]

Because N64 games reel in the equivalent of £8, so they are a fairly decent source of revenue.

Lots of people will download it (it's a classic and has aged well) so they want to drip feed us those.

1 N64 game a month is perfectly reasonable in my eyes. (and in my wallet's)

 

For a lot of people this will be their first N64 game.

 

Our list will mature no doubt, it's not as if you would play half of these.. but 'it's the principle' you all shout.

 

Well whinge on.

[Guest Jordan]

I'm mostly pissed because they get Contra III, i love that game so much.

Quality game.

 

Yeah that is a nice line-up...

and they get Gradius too (will Parodius follow ?)

 

It may be Nintendo's way of making amends for not releasing Wii on home turf first, and an early indicator that Europe is still at the bottom of the list priority wise for releases....

[Cube]

This has just been revised...wasn't there another one with less games on for Japan?

 

Same could happen to ours.

 

edit: Link to the Past. I need that game.

[demonmike04]

Hey, they had to please the hawt asian girls, all we get here are Vicki pollard esque fat chicks who think their sexy.

 

But to the point, yeh, way better than ours. But hey, what do I care, no wireless connection here!

[Rummy]

Why are some games more wii points that the system specific wii points they said there would be? Snes stuff is supposed to be 800, not 900!

Not bothered about the fact they have better and more, gotten used to being a british gamer now.

[gmanprime]

The us. selection is fairly limited at the moment but hopfully that ill chang soon enough.

[dabookerman]

Japan is superior.

[Zechs Merquise]

Why the shock? Did anyone really think that Europe would have a better VC list than Japan?

[solitanze]

It was to be expected really. Won't be investing into old games much anyway as I own just about every game i've ever wanted boxed with its original contents anyway with the exception of a few NTSC games that unfortunately are very unlikely to ever see the light of day on a PAL Wii console.

As stated in October or September when the press releases were given, selected SNES games are going to be 900 Wii Points, probably because they are still on shelves for the GBA.
