Nice. I picked up SF2 last week for eight hundred points (zoinks) and I'm considering this now. I wish they would come out with more 400 point games or maybe change the point scheme to 200/400/600/800 or at least 400/600.Paying 800 points for Street Fighter was kind of harsh, they usually drop their "classic" games down to 400.
yea, me and one other person i play with were up waiting for pacman to come out, we were checking every couple minutes to see if it was added. we figured 3 a.m on the east coast since that will put washington at midnight (i think...), it ended up coming out at like 4:10, we got it and played. its worth 400 points in my opinion when you look at how much cell phone companies charge for games...
I was using the T-bar Trick last night... then when i wanted to show it off to someone, it failed. I think you have to wait for 30 seconds or so before you go into the T-bar corner for it to work properly

Why waste your time with this (unless you're a points whore), when you can do this for free with M.A.M.E.?

I would hardly call these classic games HD, all they do is add a nice HD backdrop behind the game, the actual play area looks exactly the same.

if you don't like apple stories, turn off the apple section.

The A.I on Pac-Man sucks. I mean i can stay in one corner for a good 30 seconds without the ghosts even noticing me :/.

speaking of being able to turn things off, i wish we could turn Nintendo stories off. seriously, do we all need the dozen new wii stories every day?

The controls don't work very well...you get stuck making turns so I wouldn't buy it until they fix that.
