Anyone hoping for F-Zero X any time soon may be disappointed, as it hasn't even been PEGI rated yet.

Oh cack... whats this? F-Zero X getting the Starfox 64 treatment?

 

If we're gonna kick up a stink about something it should be where the heck is DKC III?! Eh eh?

 

Ha you know Im just joking, I know DKC III will come in time - a nice Christmas release would be perfect. And although I know Im not gonna get it, F-Zero X will arrive in due course as well. If we're gonna yap about something til we get it what about something like the Snes Mario RPG? Atleast its alot less likely to come out on the Euro VC than F-Zero X! :heh:

3 genesis games...all of them FANTASTIC :D

 

SoR2 and TJ&E 2 got me through my childhood. Fantastic games, both of which have awesome soundtracks.

Well just finished Streets of Rage 2 after an hour or so. I have to say I wasnt impressed by it at all, I remember it being alot better and harder. I personally think that Final Fight is better, not the Snes version but the arcade one.

What difficulty did you play it on? And how many 'lives' did you give yourself at the start?

 

Whatever you had, it's always much more fun going through with a friend anyway :heh:

Huh? When did the Lylat Wars update get added?

 

April, to my knowledge. It happened shortly after it was released on the Virtual Console, it just improves the controls.

I remember the US got it, but I didn't know we got it as well.

Is it the one everyone went mental about as it killed the framerate / restored it to it's N64 norm. Perfect emulation?

People moaned and speculated that it restored slowdown, that was unconfirmed.

Yeah, TBH Ive only played Lylat Wars once since I got it.

 

Whats the point of a game that long with no save option? [/Rhetorical]

Streets of Rage II is fantastic. I've been playing it loads since it was released. I'm looking forward to playing it in 2 player mode.

 

I generally prefer run-and-gun games to beat 'em ups, but Streets of Rage II is the peak of its genre for me. There's still some good run-and-gun games to come to the VC:

 

Alien Soldier (Treasure / SEGA / Mega Drive)

Contra: Hard Corps (Konami / Konami / Mega Drive)

 

Any others?

I love the Magic Pockets picture Breach. Did that come out on anything other than the Amiga? Bloody awesome game.

Yeah, great game. :)

 

It was also released for Acorns, AtariSTs and PCs. Sadly it was never ported to the Mega Drive, SNES or any other platform on the VC. :(

Contra really is absolutely awesome :D Metal Slug is also awesome (really want the Wii anthology : peace: ).

 

I love 2 player SoR2, especially on Hardest mode. Axel's my favourite character but for 2 player i play as Blaze so my mate can be Axel (otherwise he's skate and we get hammered).
