    Is Pokemon Snap any good? Can't say that I'd ever heard of it until it was announced as a VC release, but it seems to be held in fairly high regard...
    I'm open for correction here, but I think you can take pictures of Pokemon and send them to your Wii message board... seems to be the first VC release with extra stuff added.

    Got Pokémon Snap last night.
    26 and i still love that game.

    Does anyone else find the Classic controller shoulder buttons a nightmare?
    they are very awkward to keep pressed

    What was Pokemon Snap all about - I always assumed it was just about wandering around and taking pictures of pokemon in the game.

    exactly.
    but you had to get them in centre frame, better poses, fighting, fainted etc.

    Think of it as an on the rails shooter with a camera instead of a gun

    Screw Pokemon Snap. Megaman 2 is on of the best games ever made with an astonishly good soundtrack for a nes game.

    I'd love to see a new platform emulated.... wasn't there a rumour of C64 support way back before the console launched?

    (Wishful thinking)

    It'll probably be a crappy new channel that nobody will use, or an obscure NES game which was sh*t 20 years ago and is still sh*t today.

    I'll be online at 12 tonight anyway!

    As much as I love harvest moon, friends of mineral town and wonderful life are all I'll ever need. Big meh again. Give us more than 1 ****ing game. Or at least make sure it's something pretty damn amazing like 'vania 3 or samurai showdown. Still waiting on Axelay.

    Alien Storm has aged very badly, even at the end of the megadrives life it was showing it's age.

    Mercs on the Megadrive is indeed fantastic and Sega should get the finger out and release it since they own the publishing rights to that conversion and not capcom. Loved how it had an almost arcade perfect port and an equally good Original mode which was a completely new game.

    Rhyme, aren't we forgetting the second best MD game ever released? I really want Konami to release Rocket Knight Adventures. Loved that game so much that I managed to finish it on the secret hardest setting which was one hit kills. And eurogamer are giving Contra 4 a 6 for being too hard. Gamers are so lazy these days.

    It seems from the reviews it's receiving that startropics is a little known classic and well worth picking up.

    Rocket Knight Adventures is a given... in the same way as Streets of Rage was a given (at least for me). My Virtual Console experience won't be complete without it, Mario Kart and a pile of other titles.

    For some reason one of my favourite N64 games ever popped into my head this morning:
    shadmann6421_640w.jpg
    Shadow Man!

    Man I loved that game! Back in the day I played it to death, getting all the upgrades and retrieving all the "cadeaux" etc...

    Anyone else remember this game as fondly as I do?

    Please bring it out on the VC Ninty, for we are many!!!

    Have it on the N64 ut have never even played it yet. Supposed to be very like a dark Mario 64. The engine is meant to be very impressive as well with really breathtaking draw distance for it's time.

    More a cross between Zelda and Tomb Raider to be honest... very open ended... some barriers to progress that can only be passed once you've passed certain parts, but you can wander where you want and tackle things in quite a non linear way. The first/one of the first games that allowed you to dual wield different weapons at the same time too. The main character had the agility of Lara, but was faster, and was even more non-linear than Zelda

    The snakes accent in Shadow Man is embarrassing.
