    There is some exciting news in Japan with the vc that could affect North America and Europe down the road.

    There will be two Neo Geo vc game releases in November in Japan. The games are Fatal Fury Special (November 4th - An enhanced version of Fatal Fury 2) and Choutetsu Brikinger (A very rare, yet very fun shoot 'em up, which was planned for North American release as Ironclad, but never came out. It's also the first Neo Geo CD game on Virtual Console!)

    The source is http://vc.nintendolife.com/news/2009..._november_2009.

    In the past, all Neo Geo games on the vc in Japan were released in North America and Europe.

    Today's vc game releases are the following:

    Fighting Street
    Original platform: TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM
    Publisher: Capcom
    Players: 1-2
    ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Blood, Violence
    Price: 800 Wii Points
    Description: A port of the arcade version of STREET FIGHTER, the legendary fighting game that started it all. Players control RYU or KEN and battle against unique fighters from all over the world. The first fighter to knock out an opponent and win two rounds is the winner. Power up your attack to three different levels – the longer you hold a button, the stronger your attack. Input commands to perform special attacks and deal serious damage to your opponent. Combine your normal and special attacks effectively to fight your way to victory.

    R-TYPE™
    Original platform: SEGA Master System
    Publisher: SEGA
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence
    Price: 500 Wii Points
    Description: R-TYPE is a classic, side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up that was developed by Irem in 1987. It's the 22nd century, and you are humanity's last hope against the evil Bydo Empire. Your ship is called the R-9a "Arrowhead" and comes with a standard gun, but power-ups and upgrades are available in each mission. Navigate through eight challenging levels that will test even the best gamer's reflexes. The SEGA Master System version features an exclusive secret level not found in any other release.

    The source is http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=20522 .

    Fighting Street was released on Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 for the PS 2 and the Xbox as Street Fighter 1. Street Fighter was no where as good as its sequel. I never played the turbo CD version of the game before and I have bad feeling about it since it only was a 2 button game for the system unlike Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition for the Pc-Engine. Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition was able to be played on a 6 button controller called Avenue Pad 6.

    I own the Sms version of R-type. There are differences between the sms and the Tg-16 version that already was released. The extra level was one of the differences. The other differences is the Sms version is easier than the Tg-16 version and the graphics are better on the tg-16. The graphic difference should be expected since the sms isn't as powerful as a tg-16.. The Sms version is a very good version though.

    R-Type is badass. I'm going to be playing that one very, very soon.

    Today's DSiware game releases are the following:

    Bomberman Blitz
    Publisher: Hudson Entertainment

    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief
    Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Bomberman makes his downloadable debut on Nintendo DSiWare with Bomberman Blitz.

    Electroplankton Trapy
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Trapy plankton make sounds as they swim over graceful lines made up of linked triangles. The creatures follow the lines you trace along the water. There are six types of Trapy in all, each with a unique color and sound. All Trapy plankton produce different tones depending on the direction they swim. They produce the lowest-pitched sounds when they swim to the right and produce higher-pitched sounds as their path veers to the left.

    Electroplankton Hanenbow
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Normally aquatic creatures, Hanenbow sometimes use floating leaves to launch themselves out of the water, creating strange sounds and melodies as they bounce off the leaves. Entire schools of Hanenbow have been known to launch out of the water, one after another. As a leaf is repeatedly hit by flying Hanenbow, it gradually changes color. This also alters the sound made by bouncing Hanenbow. When all the leaves turn red, a flower will bloom. It remains unclear why the Hanenbow display this curious behavior.

    Electroplankton Rec-Rec
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Rec-Rec are fishlike plankton that feed on sound waves. They absorb sound waves transmitted through water and use them as a form of nutrition. The sound waves that the Rec-Rec eat are then stored inside their bodies until they have been digested. Once the digestion process is complete, they play back the sounds in perfect four-second intervals. While these sounds are playfully emitted, wave patterns can be seen pulsating on their bodies. Rec-Rec always swim side by side in schools of four. When they swim at different speeds, the frequency with which they emit sounds also changes.

    Electroplankton Nanocarp
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Nanocarp have very sensitive hearing. Using their two ears to sense vibrations coming through the water, these plankton can distinguish sound quality and frequency. They display very interesting reactions to the sound of humans clapping or breathing. Nanocarp are also excellent swimmers. They have a tendency to swim in formations of 16 and react together when they detect sounds. These plankton emit sounds on their own when they sense waves on the water's surface. When this happens, the pitch of sounds they produce changes depending on where the Nanocarp is located.

    Electroplankton Beatnes
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Beatnes are curious plankton with geometrically shaped heads that form vertical strands like seaweed. Their bodies are made up of eight sections, each featuring a distinctive diamond-shaped tail. The sound of a Beatnes can vary wildly depending on which segment of the body is tapped. However, all of the sounds closely resemble the short-wave and triangular-wave sound effects from a Nintendo Entertainment System™ sound chip. When Beatnes are tapped in time with a rhythm, they continue to repeat the sounds in perfect time for a short period.

    Today's vc releases are the following:

    Wonder Boy™ III: The Dragon's Trap
    Original platform: MASTER SYSTEM
    Publisher: SEGA
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Cartoon Violence, Tobacco Reference
    Price: 500 Wii Points
    Description: Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap is widely considered to be one of the best games produced for the SEGA MASTER SYSTEM. The direct sequel to Wonder Boy in Monster Land, it starts in the final lair of the previous game. This game is the first in the series to allow Wonder Boy to roam freely by using various animal forms, but as with previous games in the series, Wonder Boy can also buy various weapons, armor and items to help him in his quest.

    Cybernoid™
    Original platform: Commodore 64
    Publisher: Commodore Gaming
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence
    Price: 500 Wii Points
    Description: Federation storage depots have been raided by pirates, who've taken valuable minerals, jewels, ammunition and the latest battle weaponry. You have been commissioned by the Federation to retrieve the cargo and return it to storage within a specified time limit. The pirate craft have activated all planetary defense systems, which you must negotiate along with the pirates themselves. If you fail to reach the depot within the time limit, or if the value of your retrieved cargo is insufficient, you must forfeit one of your Cybernoid ships.

    The source is http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=20636 .

    Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap was already released on the vc as Dragon's Course for the Tg-16. The differences between the two versions is the graphics are better on the Tg-16 and the Sms version uses a password system instead giving you the option to save the game. The Sms version is 100 wii points less to download.

    Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap is one the best games that I own for the Sega Master imo.

    The C64 got it's 9th vc release today. North America is now 10 vc game releases away from the amount Europe has.

    I am still kinda sad that they have no plans what so ever of bringing the entire classic gameboy (incl. Color & SP) to the DSiWare... That was my main reason of purchasing my DSi...

    Description: Available exclusively for the WiiWare service, Pokémon Rumble is an action game in which you control Toy Pokémon (referred to as "Pokémon") and take on wave after wave of other Pokémon in a variety of stages. You can befriend some of the defeated Pokémon along the way, which lets you add them to your collection and grants you the ability to use them in battle. Switch between collected Pokémon at any time, taking advantage of the fact that the amount of damage you deal depends on the type of move used and the type of Pokémon hit. Be the last one standing to gain the right to compete in the Battle Royale and test your skills against many Pokémon at once. You can also team up with three people for some multiplayer action (additional Wii Remote controllers required), working together to take down tough Bosses and earning points that can be used toward recruiting or training Pokémon.

    Description: NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You'll need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at will. Fly, aim and shoot using the Wii Remote controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one player controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods.

    Description: World of Goo is an award-winning, physics-based puzzle/construction game made entirely by two guys. Use living, squirming, talking globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore, but they don't know that they are in a game, nor that they are extremely delicious.

    Today's vc releases are the following:

    Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures™
    Original platform: Super NES™
    Publisher: LucasArts
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Violence
    Price: 800 Wii Points
    Description: Grab your trusty whip and slash your way through all three Indy classics in this no-thrills-barred adventure. If it happened in the movies, it happens here: the giant boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart chase from Temple of Doom, the three trials from Last Crusade, Rene Belloq and Colonel Vogel – it's three times the action, all in one fully loaded game.

    STREET FIGHTER II': CHAMPION EDITION
    Original platform: TurboGrafx16
    Publisher: Capcom
    Players: 1-2
    ESRB Rating: T (Teen) – Mild Blood, Violence
    Price: 700 Wii Points
    Description: This is the classic PCEngine (TurboGrafx16) version of the two-player fighting game that started it all. At the time, a large capacity HuCARD was used to allow faithful recreation of the dynamic arcade game and its features, including bonus stages and sound effects. In the game, players select one of 12 characters and face opponents in a no-holds-barred battle to decide the top fighter. Master a character's special moves and combos to defeat your rivals around the world. In "V.S. BATTLE" mode, there's a convenient handicap feature. Using this feature to adjust a character's performance, a novice player can be evenly matched against a seasoned player to enjoy an intense, head-to-head combat experience.

    While I never played or own Street Fighter 2: Championship edition for the Pc Engine, I played the Sega Genesis version. What I know about the Pc Engine version of Street Fighter 2: Championship edition is you were able to play the game with a 6 button controller that Nec released in Japan for the system. Based on that information, I am guessing the Pc Engine version of Street Fighter 2: Championship edition on the vc will allow player to use 6 buttons also. That means there shouldn't be any difference in controls from the Sega Genesis version.

    Ah, there is the US Pokemon Rumble. Anyone who hasn't should give it a try, it's actually a very good game. I've been playing the Japanese version for a few weeks now and I've got to say, it's excellent as both a single player and a multiplayer game.

    Seriously, if NOA could cut the redundancy out of the VC, I might have a reason to turn the system on once in a while. How many versions of the same game across multiple platforms do we need?? Oh well...
    I have Indy on the SNES as well. I think I paid $15 for it back in May, and was honestly pretty disappointed with it. I got it thinking it'd be like the Super Star Wars series (being done by LucasArts and all), but boy was I wrong. I think I played to the 3rd or 4th level and never had an urge to play it again.

    Well, CE on Turbo is different, sort of, from the SNES and Genesis releases, since both of those included Hyper Fighting. Whereas this is just vanilla CE. I hear it's a good port, but not a necessary one.

    Description: Pinball takes on mythological proportions in this Nintendo DSiWare exclusive. Choose from two modes of play (Regular Game or Daily Game) and begin your journey to becoming a pinball champion. Conquer mythic quests, collect gifts from the 12 Olympians, and push your skills to the limit by facing Medusa, the Sirens and more. Your portable pinball table will give you a quick adrenaline rush as you watch the steel ball fly through ramps and carom off bumpers all over the playing field. Rack up combo points, open specific game modes and enlist the Oracle for some help. Will you accept Zeus's challenge?

    Any impressions of this game? I'd be curious to see how it is.
    You don't have to be smart, you don't have to have all the facts, you just have to be confident.

    Is the DSi getting a virtual console? or was that just a rumor?
