I would like to see them have weekly promos where you can get certain games cheaper. Or even free from time to time just to spur interest.
Is anybody really putting forward 500 points for DK Junior Math? I got that game for free playing Animal Crossing and promptly sold it to Tom Nook. |

Well, I have a lot of points now and thanks to deals at Toys R Us and the old Best Buy coupons I have been paying around $15 for my 2000 point cards. I can deal with the N64 games being $7.50 and so on.
However, I also think Nintendo should be putting games on sale and they definitely should give away games as preorder bonuses. They missed an opportunity with Metroid Prime 3 to try this out. I think a free copy of Super Metroid would have increased preorders for the game. |
Maybe Blast Corps will end up redone on live arcade.

I just read on QJ that the ESRB rated the following...presumably for near term release.
Alien Storm Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest Crack Down ESWAT: City Under Siege Golden Axe III Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos Pilotwings Pro Wrestling Super Turrican Super Turrican II Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game Vectorman Zombies Ate My Neighbors |

I remember Castlevania II was such a WTF after playing the first one. I loved it though, and beat it many many times.
|
I would love to see Castlevania Bloodlines from the Genesis - it's the only 2D Castlevania I've never played. And I guess it's supposed to be really good. DraculaX would be cool too.
|
That would be cool if Nintendo did a follow-up to Pro Wrestling. I LOVED that game... Star Man and King Slender were my favorites.

So far this year I've finished: Castlevania Super Castlevania IV Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrows Castlevania: Portrait of Ruins I have the three GBA games sitting on the shelf ready to go as well. |
II was kind of action/RPGish. Sounds like you've definitely been making your way through 'em. I beat PoR, have DoS but haven't started it and haven't dl'd either SCIV or the original. I could just never beat Drac and don't know if I'm up to the good ol' Nintendo difficulty, or, the difficulty now.

The Angry Nintendo Nerd's Castlevania 2 review is a classic:
|
Wow. He's cut out all the swearing. It went from hyper-active to somber. Two extremes. He couldn't find a happy medium?
Anyway, Thanks AVG Nerd. Looks like I may pass on this steaming pile of goat shit. :lol: |
I like CVII a lot, but his negative reviews don't really surprise me though. Most people going in expecting a game like I or III aren't going to like it because it is quite different. Some of his complaints are pretty weak though:
Why aren't the passwords like CVIII passwords? Maybe because there are RPGish elements, and there are about a million possible combinations of things that you can have. The CVIII password system isn't possible. How are you supposed to know what to do with the oak stake? RTFM. It is right there in the manual. How would you know how to get past certain obstacles (the cliff, in his example)? Talk to villagers and read the books in the fortresses. Every solution is available in the game. Why can't he swim? Perhaps he would feel better if it was just a pit there instead. You'd still die in the exact same manner. It it would just look slightly different. Most games of that era have places where you will die if you fall into it. Mario has pits, Zelda II has pits, etc. Why are there false floors in the castle that you can fall through? It is a puzzle. Figure things out a path. Maybe they could get rid of the false floors and fill in the water with solid ground. Then you can just walk straight through it (and complain about it like you do in Dracula's castle). |
Oh, is that the edited version?

VC Updates for 9/24:
Kirby's Avalanche™ (Super NES®, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Everyone's favorite round, pink hero takes a break from swallowing his enemies to put your brain to work in this fast-paced puzzle game. Players take control of Kirby and match wits with well-known enemies from the Kirby series (including his archrival, King Dedede) in an effort to win the First Annual Dream Land Avalanche Competition. The simple-but-addictive game play revolves around brightly colored blobs and boulders. When the right amount of matching blobs are stacked, they explode and rain down on your opponent's field of play. Repeat this until your screen is clear to move on to the next round. But be careful—the farther you advance, the faster the blobs fall and the smarter the opponents get. Are you good enough to help Kirby become the avalanche king? Streets of Rage™ 3 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, rated E 10+ for Everyone 10 and Older - Violence, 800 Wii Points): Just when you thought the world was safe from the Syndicate and its shady leader, Mr. X, they have returned to torment the city once again. Mr. X has developed lifelike robots to take the place of various city officials so he can be in complete control. Now it's up to our old heroes Axel, Skate and Blaze to stop the threat with their amazing fighting skills. With more weapons and combat moves, as well as secret characters and various endings, this return to the streets is one you won't want to miss. LEGEND OF HERO TONMA (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone - Mild Cartoon Violence, 600 Wii Points): LEGEND OF HERO TONMA is an action game that puts players in control of the magic-user Tonma, whose role - as was typical for game heroes of the day - is to travel to another world and save the princess. Fight your way through seven stages using Tonma's jump ability and shot power. Collect power-ups and barriers to grow in strength and pummel your enemies. Bring that strength to the end of each stage to face off against and defeat the menacing bosses that aim to keep you from the princess. This well-detailed game's comic visuals and feel will have players wanting to come back for more frantic and exciting action. |
Streets of Rage 3 was a good game. I'm not sure if it was better than 2 though.

Sin & Punishment next week, please NoA! -pray-

I downloaded the OTHER SMB2 on a whim the other day. Say what you will, but I love that game. Anyway, it was pretty disappointing...buggy with slowdown and I can't even see the symbols on the slot machine, so that's out.

SIN & PUNISHMENT!
