Well, if you get to hang out with Virgil, Homer, and Socrates, it can't be all bad. And just when you go and just about give up, Nintendo springs an Import Week on you. It's almost like old times.

Well, only a little bit late this week. I just wonder if Jsnake and others weren't releasing the PR in advance for the last couple of months, how many times would we have waited until noon EST Monday before finding out what the releases were. Nintendo can be pretty bad about updating their press site. Sending out the PR ahead of time was a small, but nice step on Nintendo's part. If we have to start waiting until Monday again, it would just be a reversion to previous form.

If anybody can be counted on to translate text, it would Hudson. If it remains untranslated, I don't think any company is going to bother.

Puyo Puyo 2! I'm still aching for River City Ransom as well. Hopefully that will see a March release.

Not if we can start an 'appreciation' thread for it, and hype the shit out of it.

DoReMi will be mine. I should get Super Turrican too.
Here is a video of it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T13NBQM-x8Y

Picking up DoReMi for sure. Perhaps I can be optimistic and think that the reason there aren't any TG-16 releases for March is due to Hudson being too busy translating DoReMi? Dunno how much text it has, though.
Personally I hope it's because adventure island 2 is coming!

This is a much more awesome update than I had anticipated. More import titles is always good.
Do Re Mi Fantasy will be a day one purchase, even if I don't get around to actually playing it this week.

Solid week. The (ostensibly superior) sequel to Milon and the first release of a formerly unreleased in the states Puyo. I hope Super Puyo Puyo Tsuu Remix (Super Famicom/SNES) isn't out of the question, since it had a special tournament mode. And of course, better graphics and sound. Hope they give us a good localization though.

NICE!
DoReMi is so getting bought!
DoReMi is so getting bought!
If you people manage to overlook DoReMi Fantasy and (what looks like) and by the accounts of almost half a dozen GAFers is indeed a game of 2D platforming win just because Brawl comes out a day sooner, I'll hunt you all down.
This is a superb week of VC releases--and yet simultaneously an iffy one because these games are in all likelihood being sent to die. Hard.
So, anyone going to make an official thread for this? Or do I have to go make "VC, DoReMi Fantasy" my taunt in SSBB and start some viral marketing that way, or what? Just so hyped for this one. I'm actually expecting to enjoy it more than SMB3 at this point (though I suppose I should say I don't hold SMB3 in quite as much esteem as most people).

Totally confirmed purchase. Do-re-mi is one of those Super Famicom games that I really wanted to be released on VC, but expected Nintendo to ignore in all territories. Awesome news.
Doesn't matter if SSBB is coming out the day before. I'm getting it that morning.
PS: this game has wonderful music.

Very exciting week for the VC.
To the poster who said that Nintendo is sending these games to die, I disagree.
Nintendo realizes that Brawl is going to overshadow any VC release this week. The casuals aren't going to be worried about VC. That leaves only us - the hardcore gamer. Well, they obviously catered to the hardcores this week with two import games. After all, we're the ones who are most likely to buy VC games even with Brawl coming out.

I don't know how I skipped over this--well, actually, I do. Because I was too excited about DoReMi Fantasy.bridegur said:
But anyway, if you think Kirby is "slower," I think you've been playing the wrong games in the series. Namely Kirby 64 and Dreamland 3. Every other Kirby game plays at a pretty hectic pace to me, to the point where I don't even consider them platformers so much as action games.I'm in line with your thinking--not Adventure Island 2 necessarily (though it could be), but they must've been working on something not on TG16. Hudson's been way too on the ball with Virtual Console releases to drop off the face of the earth for a month.MoxManiac said:

awesome to see more import games. let's continue blurring the lines between territories as much as possible, please--that shit is old hat and gots to go.

The usual suspects have assembled. The vote is in. Buy Do Re Mi if you possess a soul.

GREAT review and screenshots of DoReMi
http://www.rvgfanatic.com/6501/22801.html
No, not my site - but I love it and don't mind spreading the word about it or great imports like DoReMi.

Day one. It looks like a creative mix of Sonic+Kirby+Super Mario World.

What's worse is people like me who buy countless VC games we do want.
Jiggy37 said:
You forgot me
:lol I'm buying this game day one. When you showed the Youtube video earlier i was already convinced! I didn't know it would come fast like that!
I just want to know a bit more about that game. It didn't came out in the US back in the day or i simply overlooked it?
I'm just kind of sad how most of the games that I find the most replayable, and therefore the ones that I'd most like to stay on my Wii indefinitely, are the ones that take up the most space. :/Iam Canadian said:
Putting The Dynastic Hero aside, F-Zero X, Sin and Punishment, Star Fox 64, Gate of Thunder, and Lords of Thunder are all enormous, but they're so pick-up-and-play that I'm not very fond of getting rid of them even though I need the space. SF64 is already gone because I do at least need a full hour free on any given time I want to get into it, but still.
Gate of Thunder will probably be the next to go since Lords of Thunder is just plain better.
I'll add you.Ranger X said:You forgot me

Anyway, yeah, it was never released in the US before.

You're preaching to the choir, Jiggy, bud. I have the exact same dilemma. Though Gates is already gone on my console.

In all fairness, I can understand how the style of DoReMi might turn people off. (I'll be getting it, just for the record.) And does anyone really give a shit about Puyo Puyo? Great puzzler, but not one person here has indicated that they'll be getting it. Not like it hasn't been released a million different times on a million other systems.Iam Canadian said:

No, Puyo Puyo is pretty useless, I'll grant you that.

Yeah, but mostly only in Japan, and we have yet to see all the separate entries represented here. All we have so far are the decidedly bare bones initial releases of Puyo on the VC represented by Kirby's Avalanche and Mean Bean Machine, Tsu in the form of Puyo Pop for GBA and Neo Geo Pocket Color, and the IMO not as strong Fever for the Cube and DS. Hopefully they'll see fit to release the N64 versions of Sun and ~n Party, and for good measure, Super Tsu Remix for the SNES/Super Famicom, quite possibly the best version of Tsu.
Iam Canadian said:
You are useless!!!
Puyo's kind of had one hundred and thirty-nine other releases across all systems (even if not this specific one?) and I'm not going anywhere near it, but at least it's another import title for VC. Always good to see some of those.
Anyway, unless I missed someone, there are at least twenty people in this thread so far who will be downloading DoReMi Fantasy. [Edit: And WiiRevolution1's "maybe."] This bodes well.

As I've said though, few have actually made it out of Japan, and we're still missing a couple of editions, namely Sun and ~n from the PS/SAT/N64/DC era, which were also Compile's last two Puyo games before Sega picked up the franchise.
I can't.DaBargainHunta said:
Unless people just hate color or happiness, but if they hate color or happiness they should stop playing video games and spend their time on internet mes-- Oh. Yes, of course, the answer was before me all along.
Don't worry, I'm not saying it's not worth putting up on VC (because it is)--just that I'm not going to be one of the buyers.cartman414 said:
