- Kevinok, on 10/12/2007, -6/+52*sigh* Another disappointing Virtual Console release.
- coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34What makes Nintendo think that it's ok to charge $5 for Galaga with absolutely nothing added when it comes to gameplay? They have the worst pricing system ever.
If Sony was doing this people would be ***** their pants with hatred. - darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24Galaga would be the only one worth considering, forget the rest.
- DarkXanthos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21C'mon people! It's effing Galaga! I love that game! Thank you Japanese Dudes!
- watership, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16It's NES Galaga. It's not even the Arcade perfect Galaga that was on the 360. It's also the same price as the superior 360 version, without online leaderboards and achievements. Not worth it.
- NoQuarter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10The Wii doesn't tell you what's listed unless you navigate into the shop channel every Monday. The games aren't announced until the day of release (unlike standard store-bought games), so nobody knows what is coming.
People want the stories, they get dugg, they get onto the front page. - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Hey, Star Fox 64 came out last week... I'm still happy.
Hell, I'm still playing Zelda and I'm content. - Konrad9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10You can buy a pre-paid credit card at most stores.
- kevin_qnn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I was hoping for Paper Mario 64, with Super Paper Mario coming out this week. oh well
- Okari, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16Yes it's a great game, but $5? That's a bit much.
- daridave, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Super Paper Mario can't come soon enough.
- 000jr000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I was at LEAST hoping for Super Mario RPG... father of all the Paper Marios yet different enough from the new game as to not interfere.... oh well :-/
- johnhummel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7No - but considering that the 3D remake (with the 2D remake and Symphony of the Night available as unlockables) on the PSP, I don't see this happening any time soon. For at least a year.
Now, with that said, where the heck is my Super Metroid? - CPUGUy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You've never heard of Galaga or Alex Kidd?
Youngin'. - jonshipman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7whew, good thing I was in the right place!
- ZeroNeo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7That would probably reduce sales for the new release, wait a couple of months and maybe we'll get lucky.
- Okari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5My Gamestop never has anything for the Wii except maybe one controller. Try Best Buy or Target, they usually have quite a few.
- coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Actually their online system as well as their games store certainly doesn't "suck" when compared to Nintendo. Anyways, I'm not saying Nintendo sucks, I own a Wii and love it. I just can't get over what they charge for VC games.
- AlphaPrime, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Hey, at least last week's was decent. But I agree wholeheartedly.
- fhornplayer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I'd rather they focus on another channel, rather than vc games. So long as it isn't along the same lines as "Everybody Votes". They haven't released one in awhile. Also, they'd probably triple sales if they brought down the price of all the vc games by only $2.
- scabbers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No Rondo of Blood yet?
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, man, seriously. Most people don't realize that Kidd was the early SEGA mascot, pre-Sonic.
- jrieth50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2But when do I get my Street Fighter 2 Hyper Turbo Edition? ESRB rated it, so its coming... but when! The 360 version is unplayable, I can't wait to attack this sucka on my classic controller.
- MikeD606, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree with this Zippo, man how do you guys have time to play all these games so fast? Just be happy with Super Paper Mario, that will keep you guys busy for a day, I guess...
I miss my college schedule, the working world leaves me with less time for video games, *sigh* - Exhaust, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@9Digits
You have to be the fruitiest fanboy of them all to say the PS2 sucked. Go play your virtual boy and gamecube you Nintendo whore.
You'd bust a nut if Nintendo released Watch Paint Dry 4 for VC. - h0ward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Am I the only one who played Alex Kidd when I was growing up? Its always been one of my favorite games for the genesis...
Alex Kidd and Galaga = Good VC Day.. for me at least. - 88iou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When will they put on the Neo-Geo games? Also, they should have put Legendary Axe, because Bravoman is godawful.
- wounded625, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3why are you complaing about updating it? you made it in the first place, which meant you thought it was a good idea. don't bitch about following through with something.
also, nice way of trying to discreetly spam your calculator. - Epyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The VC would be 100% better if Nintendo followed through on their '3 releases a week' claim. And NO I will not count sega and turbographics titles in that count. Nintendo should be releasing 3 Nintendo titles a week, anything else should be icing.
- Saq0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4zeroneo: I think what he's saying is at a lot of stores, you can buy a visa card with cash that has a predetermined spending limit. I know at my local grocery store you can buy these 'gift visas' or whatever in several different denominations
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@exhaust: One doesn't have to be the fruitiest fanboy to say that the PS2 sucked. More specifically, it was the same crap with faster hardware, that's all. Nothing exciting, nothing to set itself apart from the rest. And that sucks.
I'm by far a fanboy. Now that I've got the Galaga on the system it's not likely I'll spend another dime anytime soon, which is not the best thing for Nintendo. But I know what I've had fun with, and this game fits the description. Considering all of the flawed implementations I've tried, paying the $5 bucks was worth it.
As for the whole "fruitiest" slur, I guess I must have offended you. I didn't mean that all Playstation 2 owners were idiots.
Just you. - Krakn3Dfx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1$5 for the NES version of Galaga?
While this is the most appealing of this crapass list, $5 is a ripoff. Maybe if it was the arcade version... - Exhaust, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@9Digits
You're hilarious... I'm a "fanboy" when I own all three consoles? How is that? Do you know what fanboy means? If anything I'm a fanboy of video games therefore giving me a better overall perspective on the industry. You go from NES to Wii and think you know anything about gaming. If it wasn't for people like me and other level headed gamers you wouldn't have your precious Wii because the industry would have died out.
And for you're "Once you've gotten your masters, owned property, paid taxes and spent your money on more things than consoles" comment you don't know me old man. I have a excellent job, own a house, pay taxes and luckily can still afford investing in one of my hobbies by buying all three consoles. Your masters in 19th century French literature doesn't amount to much. You probably didn't buy a console for 20 because you couldn't afford one. I'm young have money and enjoy video games... You're old know nothing about video games and jump on the motion sensing band wagon like you know something. Go preach to your retarded children if you have any because your opinion means nothing here. You're old and clueless.
Zing you got me on the spelling of piffy. Wow that masters is really working for you. You going to wow digg by correcting me on how I spelled Zing now?
Anyway back to the topic... Wii needs more good VC games and online. :) - robotbling, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1people who are complaining: did you download Beyond Oasis?
its an awesome action RPG for the Genny, check it out - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@Exhaust
"ohhhh that's a real piffy retort there genius."
The word is "pithy", not "piffy". Thanks for proving *MY* point.
"So that being said I bet you think the Gamecube was the best thing last generation because it came in a square box and had an "innovative" huge A button."
I haven't bought a console in twenty years (which was clear in my post), so my opinion of the Gamecube is identical to the PS2, Xbox, etc.
"You're a fanboy hypocrite so you calling me an idiot is a compliment."
If saying that helps you sleep at night, great.
"I'll keep playing all three 3 next-gen systems, keeping an open mind, playing all the good games for all platforms... And you keep being a Nintendo cult member and miss out on all the great games released on the other platforms."
Enjoy playing all 3 "next-gen" systems. Buying three consoles is the mark of a fanboy, cult member, whatever the hell you're talking about.
"All in all YOU'RE the LOSER here. Have fun continuing your Nintendo trollfest!"
Once you've gotten your masters, owned property, paid taxes and spent your money on more things than consoles and lubricant, I'll consider your slur. In the meantime, hang up from your dialup session as child protective services is trying to call, you adolescent *****. - Exhaust, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@9Digits
ohhhh that's a real piffy retort there genius. You just proved my point. The PS2 didn't have a motion sensitive controller like your beloved Wii so therefore the PS2 is just "the same crap with faster hardware"
So that being said I bet you think the Gamecube was the best thing last generation because it came in a square box and had an "innovative" huge A button... You're a fanboy hypocrite so you calling me an idiot is a compliment.

WHERE in the hell is MIKE TYSON'S PUNCH-OUT????????????? - chrisjones, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1One of the few reasons I turned around and sold my Wii to get a 360. The Wii is a novelty.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6>.< So don't buy it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4DarkXanthos: Agreed! I know it's not the cabinet version, but the NES version was pretty good regardless. I have tried emulator after emulator, and all of them have had some problem in one way or another.
The virtual console is what gave me the enthusiasm to buy a Wii, after 20 years of going console-less (last one was the NES). I specifically had this game in mind when I bought it, and thus I'm now satisfied.
Thanks Nintendo! - Slayerdude51982, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I had a feeling this week was gonna be well rather meh. Starfox 64 and TMNT (in my opinion good game but wicked hard) in one week, but seriously the ones that I REALLY want, Punchout, SMB2 and 3, and Super Mario RPG, so my girlfriend can stop asking me "has super mario RPG come out yet?" I keep telling her I dunno when it's coming out, and I wish it was soon cause I wanna play it too.
- wounded625, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1super paper mario already came out. i played the whole first part already.
- wounded625, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4@daridave
super paper mario is here.
but why do they keep releasing games nobodies heard of? - toshipaine, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4ROMS FTW
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4@coheedcollapse: There's no reason to even speculate as to what our reaction to Sony would be. They couldn't possibly come up with a product now that didn't suck. The last thing they made that didn't suck was the original Playstation, and even that was a stretch.
- julesverne, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3While we're at it, why don't we just announce every other commercial item that gets released so we can be sold things here as well. If you've got a Wii, aren't you aware of these virtual console releases anyway?
- juliocgrajales, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5this so sucks, big time, I will never fall for the Nintendo hype again, PS3 please make a comeback, reduce your prices
- ZeroNeo, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1@konrad9
He's actually saying he couldn't find any pre-paid cards. - bonjovisucks, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Amen.
- punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Can we have like a virtual console release section or something?
