Screwed. Hard to believe... NOT! We always manage to get later releases or miss the game altogether. Thats almost a part of gaming for me. Not the part I enjoy, but certainly in the equation.

[MrRoboto19XX]

I think we'll see about 90% of those games eventually, heck maybe by Q2 2007.

[Xexyz]

Wow, their SFC and PCEngine releases really walk all over our SNES and TG-16 ones...

[MegaDrive20XX]

I think we'll see about 90% of those games eventually, heck maybe by Q2 2007.

Hopefully so.

While the virtual console thing is nice and all, who are we kidding saying that we're getting screwed? Anyone who loves these games probably either already owns the original or has them on an emulator.

[Drexel923]

Maybe they want to space out releases here so they don't get same people whining about games never coming out on a steady basis (XBLA). Did you guys expect them to have every game ready for launch? Theres more than enough in the US launch to keep people busy until round 2.

[jajaja]

Do you need the VC controller to play these games?

[Mr. Smashy]

I'd love it if Mario Super Picross were available for the North American systems.
