Mokong Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Ok i just noticed something that seems really inconsistant to me. On my channels menu i got "Super Mario Bros." and "Super Mario Bros 2(:The Lost Levels) next to each other.... i was meaning to select SMB2 but hit SMB by mistake, so i just press "plus" to get to where i want to be. Then i noticed the year of release on both seems weird (you know it's displayed top left corner). According to what i see here, Nintendo released Super Mario Bros in 1987 but they released Super Mario Bros 2(Lost Levels) in 1986.... how does a sequel come out before the first game? (ignoring prequels and Star Wars and such of course)

Mokong Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 The '87 date is for when SMB was released in Europe. Lost Levels' date is from the Japanese release, as it was never released in Europe. Oh right, i didn't realize Japan had both 1 and 2 before we even got 1 (and technically only got 2 last week, talk about a long delay...not counting All Stars of course, but that wasn't the "origianl" version)
Hero-of-Time Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I see the americans are getting Streets of Rage 3 on Monday, I will snap that up as its the only one I havent played. I imagine that we will get it on the Megadrive Friday in the 1st week of October.
welsh_gamer Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 After downloading the Lost Level's, I remembered this cheat/tip I used during the SNES day's to get a lot of lives! Haven't had a chance to try it out again yet, has anyone else done so yet? In World 1-1: 1. Hit the 2nd solid block for the Mushroom. Bump the Mushroom over the last block without hitting the koopa troopa. 2. Grab the Mushroom to become Super Mario. Go back and break the first block and then break the third block. The koopa troopa should be walking back and forth on the fourth block. 3. Jump up to stand on the second block. Break the blocks directly above you and the blocks to the left and right. 4. Make a small jump onto the Koopa. Mario should bounce up and down on the shell and will eventually begin to rack up 1-Ups.
Goron_3 Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Out of interest, are any of the Contra games on VC? I really want to get some and soon! Also, Streets of Rage III for America! NICE! That said, it wasn't as good as II. Infact, no side scrolling beat-em up will ever be as good.
Tellyn Posted September 25, 2007 Author Posted September 25, 2007 Yep, under the label Super Probotector. The name was changed in Europe.

Cube Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Legend of Hero Tonma - 600 Gradius 3 - 900 Sin and Punishment - 1200
Acidyl Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I just saw it too, oh well, sin and punishment should be worth it, but still, expensive.
Zelda_Rulez Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I thought Super Probotector was the SNES one? The I really want to play is the NES one... The second NES one (Probotector II) was released on the American VC on 27th August. It's not on the European VC though.
Funktion Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I really hope Nintendo releases an update soon to add more "pages" to the console's menu (I only have 3 slots left), not to mention they need to do something about the storage capability of the console.
Tellyn Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 They are bent on making us use SD cards and to delete our games if we want more.
ShadowV7 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Can you save them on SD Cards yet anyway?
Zelda_Rulez Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 You can put them on SD cards, but you can't play them from them.
Tales Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Just downloaded Mario's Picross. Awesome game. Should keep me busy until the DS games arrive.
nekunando Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 This week's releases (courtesy of darksnowman) Neo Geo Fatal Fury: King of Fighters MegaDrive Streets of Rage 3 Golden Axe 3 Landstalker Super Thunder Blade

Patch Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 MegaDriveStreets of Rage 3 Landstalker Yesssssss!
darksnowman Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 This week's releases (courtesy of darksnowman) Neo Geo Fatal Fury: King of Fighters MegaDrive Streets of Rage 3 Golden Axe 3 Landstalker Super Thunder Blade Lol, 900 points for the NeoGeo gear by the way and the usual 800 for the Mega Drive games. Landstalker any use is it? Can't say I'm interested in any of the others that have gone up this weekend.
Patch Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Lol, 900 points for the NeoGeo gear by the way and the usual 800 for the Mega Drive games. Landstalker any use is it? Can't say I'm interested in any of the others that have gone up this weekend. I would recommend Landstalker if you're into action RPGs. The game is absolutely massive with a gorgeous use of colour and some clever dungeons. It's like a cross between Zelda and Equinox. And it's pretty hard too.
Helmsly Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/15276 Video of Fatal Faury on the Wii/Virtual console. Strange seeing the Neogeo logo on the Wii channels menu.
Lens of Truth Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Fatal Fury is fantastic. Not as rich as SF2, but very satisfying nonetheless.
Cookyman Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 From - Virtual Console archive After many long, long months, the time has finally arrived for Europeans: The legendary Super Metroid is now available on VC! In the third Metroid game, Samus travels back to Zebes to dispose of the Space Pirates once and for all. It's one of her longest and greatest adventures ever, and if you haven't played the game before, you honestly owe it to yourself to experience it, as it is often classed among the top games in Nintendo's history. Also, this is the 150th game on the European VC! Second today is another game that America's had for a fair while - Probotector II (Known as Super C America, the C obviously being for Contra). The second game in the series has the robots going against a bunch of aliens in what is basically more of the same as the original game. If you found the first game too hard, rejoice, as the second game is quite a bit easier. It's not that much easier that it's no challenge at all, though.
Cube Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 When we though this week couldn't get any better for game-related stuff....NoE give us Super Metroid.
