Tellyn Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 And Beetle Adventure Racing! Like I said previously, that's actually been rated by the ESRB by EA Games and for Nintendo. I don't see why Nintendo are so limited with their N64 releases.
Dyson Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Beetle Adventure Racing has to be one of my most favourite racing games ever.
Ashley Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Like I said previously, that's actually been rated by the ESRB by EA Games and for Nintendo. I don't see why Nintendo are so limited with their N64 releases. Yes but games often seem to be rated and cause a giant squee and then nothing comes of it. I want action gorramit!
Gentleben Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 One of the 4 VC games this week is King of Monsters (Neo Geo) Used to be played on Gameworld all the time. But at 900pts I'm still going to keep saving for next weeks Wiiware.
Tellyn Posted June 27, 2008 Author Posted June 27, 2008 This week's games are: Super Fantasy Zone (Mega Drive) Pac-Attack (SNES) King of the Monsters (Neo Geo) Cybernoid: The Fighting Machine (Commodore 64) Summer Games II (Commodore 64)
nekunando Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 ..do you think there's any chance of something like Super Hang On coming.. the music in that game really takes me back!
Hero-of-Time Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Another week, another shoddy selection of games. The first of these is Ninja Commando, a top-down vertically-scrolling shooter that has ninjas and commandos and time travel. It also has a rubbish but very funny English translation. The Art of Fighting 2 is the other game. This is one of the first fisticuffs efforts by SNK and has all the hallmarks we've come to expect from the developer: flashy moves, fancy animation, countless sequels. Source: Eurogamer
darksnowman Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, I checked for updates and couldn't quite figure out where this weeks updates ended and last weeks started. So only those two are new eh? I might just give em a miss. I got me some Alex Kidd in Miracle World and its so bad yet so immense! I never completed it and I think in one sitting last night, I got further in it than I ever did back in the day.
Funktion Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 This week's releases will probably make a few people happy... :wink: -Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) (900 points) -Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (NES) (600) (the game was already available in the past and then removed, it seems this time it's here to stay)
Helmsly Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
darksnowman Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 How much did the Lost Levels cost last September? Was it 600 points then too?
ShadowV7 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Can't believe it finally got a release here. I really want to go download this, just need to get Wii Points first. I need to get this. Now.
Ashley Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Fantastic news. Now give me Beetle Adventure Racing and I shall stop moaning :p
darksnowman Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 In the US this week they got Samurai Showdown 2 and Ys Story: Book I & II. From what I've heard over the years, the Ys games are fairly highly rated, so here's hoping for their release on our European shop channel. Here's a bit of info on it: Ys Book I & II (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone -- Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): Ys Book I & II chronicles the first adventures of Adol Christin, a young, red-haired swordsman on a quest to unlock the secrets of an ancient kingdom. As Adol, you search the island of Esteria, gathering clues to unravel the mystery of Ys. Fight monsters that lurk in caves and towers with physical or magical attacks, and use your brain to make your way through dangerous areas filled with traps. In Ys Book I & II, the first titles in the Ys series were put together as a single TurboGrafx CD-ROM. They awed players with their gripping story lines accompanied by fully orchestrated soundtracks, wonderful voice acting and amazing special effects. Don't miss out on your chance to experience this wonderful piece of gaming history. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/902/902432p1.html ----------------------- IGN also have their review of Ys I & II up. They have gave it a highly respectable 8.5 and from what I've been reading elsewhere, Ys has stood the test of time really well. Review here.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Looks like we are getting the Ys Book I & II game next week!

Guest Captain Falcon Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 looks like it might be time to forget about Super Mario RPG because Secret of Mana is heading to the VC (in Japan at least). I was worried when SE said they'd be reluctant to support the VC knowing they could do port jobs and sell at full price, but it looks like they may have seen sense on this one. I'll definitely be getting this on release (assuming it comes here - though I don't see why it wouldn't).
darksnowman Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Y's is next week? This is actually becoming a bit relentless! I'd love to get Mario RPG finished before Y's and FF IV DS next week so let the good gaming times roll!
Ike Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Ys Book 1 & 2 sound interesting. Might have to check it out.
darksnowman Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Three Hanabi and one non-Hanabi game this week. Chase HQ - Turbogfx - 600 points. (Not Hanabi) DoReMi Fantasy - Snes - 900 points Spelunker - Nes - 600 points Ys Book I & II - Turbogfx - 800 points EDIT: Lol at my fridge space. I wiped LostWinds the other week for Mario RPG, and thought I would have enough room for Ys Book too... but nah. Ys Book takes up 280 blocks and leaves me with 66 blocks remaining. A mini Luigi sprite ran across while it was downloading- not sure I've seen it before.
Ike Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Ys Book I & II - Turbogfx - 800 points I checked a video on youtube to see what it's like, and the battle system looks weird. You just run into the enemies and they die.
darksnowman Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Yeah I played it slightly last night. Its a wee bit like Zelda where you just kill the baddies in the field, rather than say, Final Fantasy where you enter into battle with them. The intro and stuff was pretty immense for such an old game- some great art and a voice over too. So far so good I say.
Guest Stefkov Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Guys I'm not up to date with the VC. Is a game that's come out in the Hanabi Festival on there permantly, like the rest of the titles. e.g.: The Mario RPG game won't be up there for a certain amount of time, it'll be there for years to come?
