Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Holy shizballs! Good news!!! http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=JcQg82%2bUj6EpXlHM7Wt%252fMQ%253d%253d&ncdctx=FF9xWpivmSOiCzhbJdbsWng4w%252fVJHSEgIn%2bmoPa8trrnFisvGzKrxTNaA6aKhvkX Pop N' Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventures just got rated on the OFLC website for a Wii U VC release! It's a Konami SNES game that never got released on the Wii VC in ANY region! That means that Konami are actually digging into their un-re-released catalogue for the Wii U VC!!! We can still get the likes of Dracula X, Sparkster, Super Bomberman 1-5, Sunset Riders and TMNT Turtles in Time on the VC! Of course, the fact that it was never released in the US means that it'll almost certainly be the original PAL version running at 50hz, but still! Good news!

If it's the SNES version then that's freaking amazing. I have find memories if Pop N Twinbee! I used to rent it all the time as a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a completely different game called Pop N' Twinbee: Rainbow Bell Adventures. It's also a separate classification that was made earlier than this new one.

Posted December 5, 2013 I really hope the above news turns out to be true and that we do get some more 16-bit Konami goodness quite honestly the last game I really properly enjoyed both playing and reviewing was Super Castlevania IV so actually getting more releases of similar calibre would be something of a blessing for me personally. : peace: Also I hope that Capcom get on with releasing more of the Mega Man X titles as they are always welcome of course.

The classification is definitely real and it's definitely the un-re-released SNES game in question. Whether or not it's gonna be released any time soon is a different matter entirely though...

Posted December 9, 2013 A Link to the Past is on the Virtual Console this week. £5.49 You see Toad on the N-E banner at the top of the page? That's how I feel right now. I can't wait to play through this gem again, despite only playing through it in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2013 I see it's the EU version ( 50hz ) of the game. It doesn't bother me in the slightest but @Dcubed won't be happy, will he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2013 I see it's the EU version ( 50hz ) of the game. It doesn't bother me in the slightest but @Dcubed won't be happy, will he? Aww. I was hoping to play the 60hz one for once. Meh, still only £1.49 and can play on my GamePad so I'm happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2013 I'd like to play it with the GamePad (not on), but having the screen on (even with the "off" setting which still has a message and the screen light on) would annoy me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 9, 2013 No option for the US 60hz version? Too bad NOE. You ALMOST had my money... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Oh hey, I know I'm a bit late in posting this one (I'm sure that some of you with a keen eye have probably already noticed this), but for those who haven't already spotted it... SEGA have been posting a series of interviews with developer M2 on their blog about the SEGA 3D Classics range that is now getting released on the 3DS here in the west and an... interesting... picture was included in one of their interviews... Before looking at it, bare in mind that M2 were the ones who handled the Mega Drive, Master System, Neogeo and most of the VCA releases on the Wii's VC service (as well as the Game Gear VC releases on 3DS)... Spot two controllers that looks suspiciously like a Wii U Gamepad and a Wii Remote, next to a Megadrive and a SEGA Saturn console? Tis a good sign Edited December 15, 2013 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2013 Last minute announcement/Nintendo Direct? Such a poor week considering it's the last week before Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2013 they had best be releasing some spectacular games in bulk next week, or have a surprise nintendo direct anouncing GBA/GAMECUBE/SATURN/MEGADRIVE etc releases coming directly after it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2013 Pretty pathetic considering that this the last update before Xmas. You'd think that they'd have SOMETHING lined up for Wii U... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2013 What are they doing with the Wii U VC. This is getting beyond ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2013 Strange that there are no N64 games on it, while the Wii had plenty. Especially when you consider the Wii U is out for over a year... I had hoped/wished/predicted that we would have GC VC games by now. It seems like a missed opportunity for Nintendo. Maybe they are struggling with compatibility issues or something?
