I'm assuming Domo is....Domo-kun?
You meant to say it's available on Tecmo Classic Arcade for the Xbox. It's not a Taito title and isn't on Taito Legends.
PM me when Earthbound is on VC, then it will be an instant buy...
Currently Hunting: Any Virtual Boy game except Mario Tennis and Teleroboxer!
It was released intact on the GBA in Japan in recent years and rated by the ESRB for a North American release last year, indicating it's in the pipeline for an eventual release. So I wouldn't be so sure.
Alleged copyright issues scaring away Nintendo of America from releasing it has largely been popularized by one website that has never revealed it's sources, and many of their claims of copyright violations due to similarities to such things as in-game sound samples are slim at best when compared.
Still, companies are terrified of possibly violating copyright laws so it could just as easily be correct.

Nice...I've said it elsewhere, but Zombies Ate My Neighbors is one of my all-time favorites. Great, great game that everyone needs to play.
Settle down, raise a family, join the PTA
Buy some sensible shoes and a Chevrolet
And party 'till you're broke and they drag you away
It's okay, you can dare to be stupid
I'm sure a lot of us are disappointed we didn't get the new Castlevania right in time for Halloween, but ZAMN is a damn spiffy choice!
About time zombies ate my neighbor hit the wii.Afther lucasarts got that deal with nintendo i figure it was only a matter of time.Also finally the arcade version of (golden axe) on the vc.I guess sega was holding out instead of putting it in a collection,they make it a download instead again
Hmm. Too bad, there was a rumor we'd get Pokemon Rumble by the end of October.
Then again, November has the possibility of the new Excitebike game, Castlevania Re-Birth and Cave Story to look forward to.
CV: R's not til next year, or so I heard on 1up.
"The big things that...nerds like to argue about might not actually matter that much."
Hudson's vc claims Fighting Street will be released on Nov. 2nd.
Hudson's vc site also claims that STREET FIGHTER II': CHAMPION EDITION will be released on November on the vc as an import game in North America.
