Only me again, this thread was so much more alive before a whole board was made for Wii Channels. Come on peeps! :heh:

 

Anyone got any inkling of what might be uploaded then tonight? I hope we get more than two games!

Im personally hoping for Shining in the Darkness. I do want Paper Mario more than anything but I dont think we will get that until Japan does.

Yes, definitely. Most people agree that it's the best ever Sonic game.

 

(Sonic 3 and Knuckles is the other contender for best Sonic game but you need two games to play it; Sonic 3 locked onto Sonic and Knuckles.)

Hell yes

 

(Take into consideration that I prefer Sonic 2D games much, much more than Mario's ones).

Huh?!?! My Sonic 2 doesn't work.

 

When I go to play the game it just goes to black screen. Gonna try downloading again.

I kinda hate how Sonic encourages you to speed through the level, but puts in stupid bits that make you slip up without any warning, or bits that bring it to a sudden stand still.

 

Im probably alone.

This week's US update:

 

Air "Zonk" (Turbografx-16)

Mach Rider (NES)

Yoshi (that's Mario & Yoshi to you, my fellow Euro readers!) (NES)

 

Looks like it was the US' turn to get a mixed bag :yay: Air "Zonk" will be released in Europe on Friday.

Most likely not. I wouldn't expect it until next month, it seems we've already begun to be screwed over by Nintendo in terms of the Virtual Console, judging by how long it's taking to get N64 titles after other regions now.

It was released here, but it wasn't heavily marketed, was released late in the console's life and had a low print run. I still had a copy for Christmas 2001 :smile:

 

If you get the points from the shop channel, or try and find a Wii points card for £14 (Don't pay £15 for them!), 1000 points is £7. A steal for this gem of a game, which I've only gone and bought again!
