Metroid Fusion is I believe a remake of the SNES game. |

Yes, Fusion is officially "Metroid 4" (the sequel to Metroid 3 a.k.a. Super Metroid).

Oh wow, thanks for the correction there. I hadn't noticed (at least not yet). I guess I haven't really been playing my N64 VC games.

Just figure it might save someone some heartbreak after an 8 hour session of zelda if they just reset without saving...

Speaking of old school greatness - citizen_zane, any interest in trading your Darkwing Duck (if the condition's vg) for something on my list - it'd be a nice quickplay for in my m82.

Although only two games, they're good ones:
* Sin and Punishment (Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, 1,200 Wii Points) -- You're not hallucinating with that price. Not only have you had to wait seven years for it, you're also going to have to pony up a couple of extra bucks. Of course, there is some extra translation here, so you can probably justify it to yourself, especially if you're dying to experience Treasure's classic shooter. Besides, it's really good. We'd rather pay $12 for this than $10 for Yoshi's Story any day of the week.
* Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (NES®, 1 player, rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points) -- This remake of the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 is being released on its own for the first time in the U.S., and you're paying an extra buck for the privilege. Of course, you're also getting it with the original NES graphics, so maybe that's worth it to you if you're the curious sort. But please, do yourself a favor and buy Sin and Punishment first.

if you called it out two months ago that it was coming out October 1st that might mean something... but there are lots of no-brainers out there that will get VC releases... it's picking the right day that's the hard part.

Don't care for the score system or moderated on this reply, but you people who are being smartasses with me in predicting Sin64 to come out should just shut up; honestly.
NO ONE saw this coming in North America. Think about it: IT WAS RELEASED OVERSEAS ONLY.
Sin64 was NOT a 'no brainer' heh

Did Nintendo publish this game in Japan or something?
Just wondering what stopped the developers from bringing this out for Xbox Live Arcade (fully translated and with online play added) sooner. |

Side note: is anyone else finding it impossible to choose Luigi in Super Mario Bros. 2 JP?

It says (c) 2000 Nintendo on it, so I'd say yes

Looks like we will be getting three Neo Geo games this Monday: Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Art of Fighting. I wonder if that will be it for Monday.
On a side note: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is no longer available in Europe. It was a limited time only thing. Sucks for them.

Because that's a pretty cool way to kick off the neo geo games by doing 3 at once

Nintendo just confirmed it. We are getting just those three games:
WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL
Oct. 8, 2007
This week, Nintendo adds another delicious category to its smorgasbord of classic titles. NEOGEO games will now be appearing in the Wii Shop Channel for download. NEOGEO becomes the sixth platform represented in the Wii Shop Channel, and it adds additional depth and breadth to the best selection of classic games available.
Hard-core gamers will especially appreciate the vibrant, arcade-quality graphics and the ability to finally play games they might have missed during the NEOGEO heyday. The first NEOGEO offering includes three fighting games that are a mix of familiar franchises and cult classics. Dive in and check out the deep game play, diverse characters and special moves and combos.
The three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. Wii™ owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
FATAL FURY (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1991 and one of the longest-running series in the fighting-game genre, this title introduced players to Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. Select one of the three and visit many locations as your chosen fighter engages in numerous street fights around the fictional city of South Town. If you're good enough, you'll eventually take on Billy Kane and then his boss, the notorious crime lord Geese Howard. Use each fighter's own finishing maneuver and battle in two different planes on the screen, one in the foreground and the other farther away in the background. The game also features a two-player mode that is well known for its unique setup, which allows fighters to both fight and help each other. Do you have what it takes to win the King of Fighters tournament?
WORLD HEROES (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Animated Blood, Violence, 900 Wii Points): A fighting game released in 1992 featuring eight characters, including Hanzo, Janne and Rasputin, modeled on historical figures from throughout the ages. The fighters compete against each other to become the world's toughest combatant, with players using a setup consisting of only three buttons (one each for punching, kicking and throwing). Adding to this unique system is the fact that the strength of your offensive blow depends on how long the button is pressed and held. Along with regular match styles, Death Match mode is also available and features mines, electrified ropes and other dangerous objects in the battle arena that can change conditions during the fight or damage players. Enjoy the wide range of combat forms as you take on history's best!
ART OF FIGHTING (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen - Animated Blood, Violence, 900 Wii Points): This fighting game, released in 1992, began the story of the Sakazaki family and Robert Garcia, further developed in two later sequels. Yuri Sakazaki has been abducted by Mr. Big to punish her father, Takuma, and her brother, Ryo. To rescue her, Ryo and Robert must take on numerous enemies around South Town, eventually reaching the mysterious Mr. Karate. The passion of the game's creators is evident in the unique game-play elements introduced. These include an energy gauge that is depleted every time a fighter uses a special maneuver, Desperation Attacks that are usable only when a fighter's health is low and camera zooming that adjusts on the fly as fighters move around the stage. All these features ensure that players use strategy and tactics, rather than simply mash buttons. Adding to the mix are little touches such as characters showing cuts when they are injured and voice-over samples during cut scenes. Can you perfect the art of fighting and save Yuri?
