    This Week:

    Paradroid (C64) - 500

    Thats it. I have a feeling I'm looking at this through rose coloured glasses, but I loved this game when I was a teenager. That 999 robot scared the ****e out of me :)
    Its probably horribly dated now.....

    Also out this week on WiiWare:

    Dr. Mario, FFCC: My Life as King, LostWinds, Star Soldier R, TV Show King, Toki Tori

    Should this thread be renamed to "Virtual Console and WiiWare Releases" ??
    Does Wiiware get updated the same time?

    Hmm, samurai showdown at last but I think I'll hold out for the samurai showdown anthology which has SS2, my personal favourite from the series.

    Pokemon Puzzle League is a really wonderful puzzle game but unfortunately the price really isn't justified. It's just basically panel de pon with pokemon characters, they should have released the cheaper snes version.

    Haven't played burning fight but by all accounts it's trash.

    It seems nintendo have rooted around their unreleased and vast back catalogue of their own games and other companies and given us a real treat this week.

    Sweet F*ck All!

    Nintendo better not make a habit of this. They're just getting lazy now, why not axelay australia already got the PAL version?

    There is a new WiiWare game called Actionloop Twist (a puzzloop clone) for 1000 points.

    They have hundreds of quality games to choose from for the VC.

    Last Ninja 3 is alright, although 3 is better.

    Was never into Alex Kidd although some people loved it.

    Wiiware:

    Pop (700)

    Nothing on VC.

    Interested in Pop, but not spending €7 without some kind of demo to try out first.

    Same. I usually don't even bother to check what's released each week anymore. I thought they were just slow to release games at the start but its gotten worse. We're lucky if we see 1 good game a month now.

    Looks like we will be getting even less VC games from now on. Looks like a week on week off alternating for VC and Wiiware. Load of my arse to be honest.

    I never saw the appeal of IK+. In fact other than the fighters pants falling off every so often I thought it was ****.

    Neo Turf Masters brings back memories, it's actually a very good golf game.

    The main appeal of IK+ for me was the music - I was a big fan of C64 music back in the day, and IK+ was one of my favourite Rob Hubbard pieces.

    The gameplay was OK (if not too far advanced from the original International Karate), but it was good looking for a single load 1987 C64 game.

    Lostwinds is actually pretty good. Wiiware seems poor in general tho.

    Had a look at WiiWare, how overpriced is it! With the exception of lost winds it seems way off the pace.

    WiiWare:

    Defend Your Castle (500 points)
    Wild West Guns (1000 points)

    Defend Your Castle looks like a Tower Defense type game, and Wild West Guns is a light gun-style shooter.

    Unless I'm confused (and I often am) Defend your castle has bit of Rampart going on.

    Guys, without going over 30 pages

    Is the Final Fantasy game on WiiWare any good?
    and is it worth 15 quid?
