Just scored this off Eurogamer

 

Nintendo plans to add brilliant Square Enix Super Nintendo action role-player Secret of Mana to the Wii Virtual Console on Boxing Day.

 

This is one of our all-time SNES favourites, and at 800 Wii Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8 approx) we've no need to be asked twice. Consider the three-player co-op, upgradable weapons, ridable dragon and epic plot and you shouldn't need much prompting either. Punchable rabbit-things, too. Even now the words "ring menu system" give us chills.

 

The same day also hails the arrival of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from the days of the Master System. Sonic was good back then, and at 500 Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 approx) it's a cheap trip down memory lane, where Tails is invited to cross the road without looking. Splat.

Yay! It's finally here (about blooming time too) - just downloaded it.

 

I really should get some sleep as I'm worn out but I'll give it a quick go anyway.

And even then, our releases are mostly lacklustre. Speaking of which, I have a spare 800 Wii Points and I fancy a VC game. What should I get?

Secret of Mana

 

Aha, I thought you'd say that. :heh: I'm not sure, RPGs don't tend to hold my attention for more than a few hours. Golden Sun, Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG are the three in which I've made the most progress.

 

I was thinking of getting Dynamite Headdy, Ristar or something on the SNES. Suggestions other than Mana please? :)

Ah, but those RPGs are all Turn-Based which are boring (yes I realise I'm the one saying that)

 

Secret of Mana on the other hand is more like Zelda with a level-up system

If you haven't got either of these...

 

Streets of Rage 2

Streets of Rage 3

 

Then get 2 but if you allready have 2 then get 3, that's my recommendation, I was playing 3 the other day (because I'm less familiar with it) and it's awesome.
