I doubt Tony Hawk would work out since the licensed songs probably creates a big rerelease fuss. Aside from full-length songs and FMV in some cases, did the PSX versions have anything on the 64 ports?Rlan said:

Why doesn't anyone wanna give us poor Americans River City Ransom?!

Plok is AWESOME. Played that game so much many years ago.
No, it isn't. Just like Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 aren't obsolete post-Double Dash or Mario Kart DS release, and won't be even when Mario Kart Wii comes out. Smash 64 is freaking fun, and I'd like to have a working copy to play at my house when I get the inclination. Would I play it a lot, with Brawl out next week? Probably not (which is why it should have been released long ago, like on Dec 3rd 2007 par exemple), but I still play it regularly in multiplayer, and I doubt very much that that will change in the years post-Brawl.Iam Canadian said:
Yes, one decent game is better than no decent games. But it doesn't mean that Nintendo isn't seriously dropping the ball on the VC of late, and I'm tired of the Nintendo apologists saying otherwise. There are tons of great games that haven't hit the service yet, and slowing down the rate of games coming out just so that they still have something to put out 3 years from now is idiotic. If anything they should be trying to get the catalog up as fast as possible, not the other way around. We can't buy what's not there, and it's hard to sell casual gamers on the greatness of the Virtual Console when the majority of what's up right now are obscure TG16 shooters.
The problem with this logic is that (correct me if I'm wrong) Mother 2 isn't on VC in Japan yet, and isn't on the list for March either, so as of April, it will have been two months that they let the demo exist without the game on VC in Japan.Iam Canadian said:
One-game week sucks, but at least they're keeping the pattern of giving people games worth playing. I'd give a lot of the recent releases a chance if money weren't an issue, but I'm still holding out for the must-haves. DoReMi Fantasy will probably warrant a purchase though... it looks like a game I could really get into.
The biggest travesty this week is this:

Yes. Among all the fully-justified disappointment over only getting one game this week, certainly we shouldn't overlook the excellent news of Do Re Mi Fantasy being rated by the ESRB (in addition to that old OFLC rating).BooJoh said:

Woa, they will localise this? Awesome. I'm buying this as soon as it pops.

That is both the creepiest and most awesome thing I've seen today.
I know pretty much nothing about it. But from watching that one video I linked, plus some of the related videos (level 6-1, level 4-1, and level 3-2 were the ones I looked at), it seems really great and pretty creative, the music is pretty nice, it's definitely a 2D platformer, and I want it immediately.
The only thing that can't be judged from videos that I could possibly not like is the controls, but I'm assuming those are more than good enough since the commenters on the level 3-2 video loved the game, and so did the only posters here I can remember who said they owned it: Superblatt, PepsimanvsJoe (he'd edited the commentary into that quote), and speedpop.

DoReMi Fantasy is yet another great game that Jiggy has managed to call my attention to.
With such a huge list of great games waiting in the wings to be released, these one and two-game weeks are absolute travesties.

Wonder Boy was the very first in the series.
Also of note is that this is the very first SMS game listing outside Japan.

I remember loving the main song from Wonder Boy (SMS). I still hum it from time to time even though I haven't played the game in over twenty years! :lolCapndrake said:

Do we know what Master System games are going to cost? I haven't seen anything about it anywhere.
Super Turrican has one of the most badass soundtracks on the SNES. WTF happened with Super Turrican 2? What a misfire.
Same here... first time I saw him riding the skateboard, as a skater myself at the time, I thought that was the coolest thing ever in a videogame. Man, some of the later stages were pretty tough!CreatureX3 said:

500 points is fair enough. I was dreading that they were going to cost 600. >_>
So which game is the Master System Wonder Boy title a port of? It's hard to keep that series straight.

What aspects of the game are you referring to? Music? Graphics? Contra's last level is pretty much a direct Aliens ripoff too but I guess they were never sued over it either.

Do you have WiiConnect24 and Standby Mode ON or OFF? I don't know how the Wii works exactly but if you don't have the wireless on all the time there is no guarantee that you will get any messages in a timely manner. I don't think the system goes out and checks as soon as you power it on, although it should, of course. It must be on some kind of timer or something.
This is every game in the series and their rereleases/remakes:Iam Canadian said:
Wonder Boy (Arcade/SMS/SG-1000) = remade as Adventure Island (NES/Mobile phone)
Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Arcade/SMS) = remade as Bikkuriman World (PCE)
Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (Arcade/Mega Drive/TGCD)
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (SMS/Game Gear) = remade as Dragon's Curse (TG16) which confusingly is called Adventure Island in Japan
Wonder Boy in Monster World (Mega Drive/SMS) = remade as The Dynastic Hero (TGCD)
Monster World IV (Mega Drive)
Sega Ages 2500: Monster World Complete Collection has all versions of every game that has the Wonder Boy characters (So not Adventure Island, Dragon's Curse, The Dynastic Hero and Bikkuriman World).

Yeah, WiiConnect is on. It was really strange. I downloaded Startropics then a few days/weeks later I got the blue blink and a message from Nintendo saying I'd been gifted Startropics.

I guess this is one of those situations where Gametap is the solution.
Seriously, though, unless it gets localized, I wouldn't expect Monster World IV on the VC. Somehow, I just don't see Nintendo putting a fully Japanese game on the service where there's actually a significant amount of text involved.
However, I wouldn't call the chances for Monster World nil, per se. After all, Nintendo actually did do some honest-to-goodness translation for the release of Sin and Punishment - that is, they translated the tutorial text for that game.
As you say, it's just one more thing for you to be disappointed by when it doesn't happen.
Nintendo wouldn't be the ones needed to translate Monster World IV, though, just Sega. [Edit: Or WestOne? I don't even know if that company still exists, to be honest, after all my attempts to understand the rights of this series.]
I wouldn't be too surprised if it happened, considering how often they like to release compilations across bunches of systems--meaning that a translation for VC would also potentially be a translation for DS, or XBLA, or PSP2 (PSP already had a Monster World collection and I think it stayed in Japanese)--but it probably boils down to how well the other Wonder Boy games have done so far and will do in the future.
Which is just another reason I'll buy Wonder Boy in Monster Land, and why if they release that other version of Dragon's Curse I'll probably buy that too.

Out of curiosity, was there any translation done for that Ninja JaJa...Something game that came out a while back?

What little Japanese screen text there was received no translation. Basically, just the title itself and the new enemy character introduction screens.
