My game is actually Shining Force 2, but we can add Zombies Ate my Neighbors to that pile! It's warm over here.

Can anyone educate me as to what other games besides SMRPG fall onto this mythical "rated then disappeared" list Jiggy is referring to?

If that comes true, I will gift you every single VC game you want from now to the end of the Wii.
I don't have to worry about living up to that because (a) Nintendo doesn't need to release a DS version because Mother 1+2 is already out on GBA and (b) NOA hates Mother fans.
Give me Earthbound or give me death, Nintendo!

Zombies Ate My Neighbours.
...
;_;
Edit: Crow, you'd better hope more than anyone that we get Earthbound on VC. I've already sold you on it and it's either the VC or pay inflated eBay prices.
I don't even know where people got that SMRPG was on there; I don't remember seeing it, unless people are thinking of an entirely separate list of hypothetical VC releases that IGN tossed together seemingly at random prior to Wii even hitting shelves.charlequin said:
Anyway, Zombies Ate My Neighbors was the big one. I think Beetle Adventure Racing was in there too, though I'm not quite sure on that one.
Oh yeah, well, I predict that May will be VC's month of RPGs, with Shining Force II, Ys Book I & II, Dragon Slayer, Phantasy Star IV, and Warsong--all of them either rated by the ESRB, already released on the Japanese VC, or both.Man God said:
I call May 19th. Closest thing to last year's VC Day of Amazing: May 21st, 2007, bringing us Blazing Lazers, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Streets of Rage 2.crowphoenix said:

Wow. Dragon Slayer. Wow. That brings back memories. Like "I remember my friend Zach had a game called Dragon Slayer for his TurboDuo."

I still say the Super Metroid / Neutopia / Shinobi week was better.

Well, it doesn't have the best game ever, because it didn't have Earthbound.
Seriously, though, the Super Metroid / Shinobi / Neutopia week wins because it has one of the best games ever made, one of the best clones of the original Zelda game, and a very solid ninja action game.

Earthbound isn't merely good. Earthbound transcends the mere concept of "good". Earthbound is superb.
I'd put Super Metroid four points ahead of Donkey Kong Country 2, but Streets of Rage 2 two points ahead of Neutopia. Haven't played Shinobi, but Blazing Lazers was a pretty fine shooter in every way except for its horrible sound effects.Iam Canadian said:
Most importantly, your week was in August and I don't want to wait that long for Shining Force II.

Shingen the Ruler? Strider? Vice: Project Doom? Any Mega Man? Final Fantasy? :lol Any Dragon Warrior? :lol
You may not be interested in fifty percent of the above list, but I would wager I got at least five titles that piqued your curiousity. I would say all except the last two are possibilities for release. And these were titles that simply stood out to me while scanning Nintendo's database. The NES library is far from exhausted.
Plus, if Capcom can't find some executive flunkie to go schmooze Disney execs and strike a grand bargain to open up Capcom's Disney-licensed titles (which would be an absolute gold mine for both parties), I may be available to report for duty in a few weeks. I'm already used to being paid slave wages . . . at least now my work would go towards a good cause. :lol

I'm happy for Phantasy Star 3, if only cause it means Phantasy Star 4 is coming that much sooner!
Jiggy37 said:
TMNT 2 was the other big one that disappeared from the ESRB lists. As for Beetle Adventure Racing, I think it was one of those games rated under the "Nintendo" label instead of the Wii label (Aerofighters Assault and Hagane were a few others), and we don't have a clue what that means.
As for unreleased NES games, don't forget imports as well. I'd buy Joy Mech Fight or Devil World in a second, and there's plenty of other stuff that doesn't require translation that we could see.
I almost want to buy Phantasy Star III. It's nowhere near as good as II or IV, but it's kind of got its own charm, and I did like it back in the day. I do have the Genesis Collection though, so I should just play that. I do plan on buying PSIV when it comes to the VC, despite having the collections, just for the convenience of it.

I guess RCR is good enough for this week. But I'm still hoping Konami drops Dracula X sooner rather than later. Maybe next time?

It's only getting released in Japan next week. Given our luck, it'll be awhile.
And it certainly won't be any sooner when it comes to CV3/Akumajou Densetsu (special chips) or Castlevania Chronicles (Sega console 3rd party reticence).

I think we all want Shining Force II.
Except for Man God, apparently.
cartman414 said:
That would be Castlevania Bloodlines you're thinking of. Castlevania Chronicles was on the Playstation.
Also, your NES game lists have neglected to mention Mother and Life Force.

I have seen those prices. They scared me, so I can back to the safety of the VC thread.

I'd sure love to have that version of Life Force, but that hasn't even shown up in Japan.

I'm not sure you should be writing a review at all if you're not going to play the game yourself.JSnake said:

I was never able to get past that level where you throw baseballs at the Moa statue, when I was a kid. Between this and beating Zelda II a month or so ago, I feel totally hardcore.
Anyway, didn't think this deserved its own thread, so I just thought I'd put it in here. Carry on.
Good job!
I feel hardcore because I was able to beat the first two Ninja Gaiden games on VC.
I haven't even bothered to do the third one, though. Ninja Gaiden plus finite continues equals no.Where do you write reviews? Call me old fashioned, but I want to make sure I'm not basing any of my purchasing discussions on reviews of games that the reviewer hasn't played.JSnake said:
Oh, sorry. I didn't realize integrity was proportional to monetary amount. Guess I should have learned something from the Kane & Lynch review fiasco.JSnake said:

This man deserves a slow clap. Now that is awesome.
My best feet of hardcore-ness was getting to level 47 in Zombies Ate my Neighbors in one continue. That was an awesome afternoon.

Anyone?
Shining Force games are FE clones, only slightly less hardcore and with 100% of the things that some people put down Camelot RPGs for. (My favorite part of their games, to be honest.)
Shining in the Darkness is a Wizardry style game. I think there are a few others along this path.
Most other SF games, especially anything made this decade? Pure shite.
