Shining Force and Shining in the Darkness, but no SF2?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The difference is that Nintendo has confirmed that there will be Neo Geo games available on VC eventually, whereas as far as I know they've given no indication that Saturn games will ever show up. There was that rumor, but nothing substantial. Maybe eventually (hopefully).

This would be stellar, although since they were never released outside of Japan, Scenarios 2 and 3 would have to be translated. I wonder if that much effort would actually be put into a VC release.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah. Like Yoshi's Cookie it's a puzzle game, but it's a different concept and has absolutely nowhere near the replay value. Maybe fun for a quick jaunt in emulation land, but I can't say it'd be worth even the $5 in VC-bux.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This week on Virtual Console US (7/23/07):

Devil's Crush (TG16)
Kirby's Dream Course (SNES)
Shining Force (Genesis)

Well, to me that looks shitty since I've never gotten into Kirby or played any of those games. It's probably good news on the other hand for the rest of you.

GET OUT

Devil's Crush is a decent pinball game. Nothing spectacular, but it has some nice tunes, and it's certainly better than the NES one already on VC (not hard I know).

Kirby's Dream Course is a fun minigolf game. A little light on courses, but the angle selection and powers add some nice variety and make the game not like every other minigolf game out there.

Shining Force was one of the first great strategy RPGs and you will download and play it. With this and Shining in the Darkness, it's looking great for SF2 to come out on VC. I will die.

This week looks pretty good.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Anyone who mehs Dynamite Headdy can get out of town. Excellent game. Treasure FTW.

How ya doing, buddy?

NEXT VIRTUAL CONSOLE RELEASE: GREAT GIANA SISTERS

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Neutopia II, with even more Zelda-ripping-off power than the first! <3







Goddamn EPIC

The Neutopia games are actually pretty decent. A Link to the Past is of course better in every way, but Neutopia I and II weren't five minute rush jobs or anything like that. They're good for at least one play, especially if you like that sort of game.

Warning, though, in case you're expecting otherwise: Neutopia II is not to I as LttP is to the first LoZ. The graphics look damn near the same, etc. II plays basically like a continuation of I.

Best shmup currently on vc everyone needs to buy this now immediately get on it chop chop i am completely serious here it's only 800 wii points it'll be well fucking worth it i promise

No, no excuses. You've never played it before, big deal. No one has. Who had a TG-CD, I mean honestly. Buy it anyway. What's the point of only buying games you've already played.

YouTube Video

Decent graphics, solid gameplay, and OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK

I am not even entertaining "I don't like shmups" as an excuse.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I like how everone is focusing on Pokemon Snap instead of the most important part of Infernal's post:

Light Crusader is a game by Treasure. Very similar to Landstalker, in that it's a Genesis, isomorphic, Zelda-ish game where you stab things, solve puzzles, etc. It's not a bad game, certainly worth a play, but I'd take Landstalker over it.
