    As of 23:31 8th of March.

    Double Dungeons - FPS RPG and not for people who like a good plot.
    Galaga - Old shmup arcade port, good but not worth shelling out for in my opinion.
    Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - This is where my money is going this week, fantastic game (also hard)

    Although, in my opinion, all these releases (bar G 'n G) are overshadowed by the news that Nintendo have put in for an ESRB rating for Star Fox 64 :)

    I only beat super Gn'G recently and don't think I'm up for that hardship again.

    I don't think I could stomach GnG.

    Really hoping they will release Rad Gravity though, for the NES. Never got around to finishing that.

    Played GnG last night for an hour.... classic game (very hard though).

    Interesting to see that some existing games got updates (Mario Kart, for example).

    Wii, the home for shootemups?
    I like to see the ThunderBlade III/IV on it, maybe Hellfire and Parodius too.

    Hold on a sec, we seem to have 2 retrogamers here, a battle to the death, a couple of games of 3D Death Chase should do it, oh yes!

    Thats an old one I had set up which I thought wasn't working because I couldn't get in the CS forum. Posted that on the crappy PSP browser so got lazy with the 0.

    Don't you mean Thunderforce III/IV, Thunderblade was awful. Thunderforce III/IV are two amazing games. I remember when TFIII came out and the fire level had the row scrolling background and people were raving about how the MD was easily capable of Mode 7 :)

    Never really liked Hellfire. Parodius on the other hand was an excellent take on gradius. I'd love to see Parodius: forever with me but we will only get the SNES version. The Saturn version had crazy japanese running commentry.

    Oh God, if that comes out i'm buying more Wii points tomorrow... hot damn.

    The Virtual Console hasn't really grabbed my attention enough lately, i've filled the void with Excite Truck (Mirror Mode :mad: ) and FF12. I'm hoping for something amazing.

    As of 23:40 15th of March

    Ice Climber - Another of those classics that i don't want to play anymore. Meh.
    Splatterhouse - God i've missed this game... i just hope they haven't screwed up the music.
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - It's good but no Turtles in Time.

    Nice lineup this week, damn you Retr0 for getting my hopes up. Unless i find money enough for Wii points i'll be skipping this week again, Splatterhouse was fun... but not that much fun.

    Really bad week.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Absolute Rot. Stick to the XBLA classic instead.

    Splatterhouse: Disgrace of a game with only the gore going for it. It isn't even that gorey tbh.

    Ice Climbers: aged badly but still a bit of fun.

    I'll be drowning my sorrows all weekend and torturing myself with awful FFXII on monday.

    Nintendo currently have Lylat Wars re-rated so was hoping for it this week.

    Turltles is great. It was one of the first games I ever got and I actually only finished it recently enough via an emulator. Great game, if you have patience, but let's be honest, it's pushing 20 years old now so it's not going to have the same appeal.

    As of 23:32 22nd of March

    Zelda: A Link to the Past - Definitely worth buying, in fact i'm downloading it right now :)

    One title? I mean... this isn't xBox Live we have here, this is the Virtual Console. Meh, better than nothing.

    Ninja-stealth edit: They've added the original Castlevania to the list between 1 o'clock this morning and now. Mistake or just late compensation?

    Final Fight on the Snes is a pale imitation of the arcade original.

    But screw that. SF2T FTMFW!

    People are having trouble with the Game brand GC controller in VC games.

    Does anyone know if you can change the controller configuration with VC games. Some don't have it in the in game options and the default control scheme on the GC pads are usually terrible.

    I don't think you can change it Retr0.

    I tried playing DKC with my GameCube controller, and it was enough to make me go out and buy a classic controller... :D

    As of 00:04 30th of March

    Dragon's Curse - ???
    Punch-Out!! - Another of those 'secret iconic' games that aren't great anymore.
    The Legend of the Mystical Ninja - F*cking Goeman, i hate that guy.

    This had to happen i guess, we get a fair few awesome titles thrown our way with a few mediocre titles to prey on the curious or nostalgic and then... and THEN, as we await something to blow us all away, we get this lot.

    Maybe it's my bitterness speaking as i go another week without my Lylatwars fix... meh, i'm buying Heatseeker tomorrow.

    Punch out isn't great but Super Punch out is one I'd love to play again.
