It is one of the only redeeming things of the game. And with the power of the middle digger, I will show you!

I disagree. It was one of my favorite games in multiplayer. Very average as single player experience though.

Exactly! too many ppl judge SoM as a single player game when a good part of why it's awesome is because of the multiplayer. To me, that's like judging TMNT or Pocky and Rocky by it's single player aspect only; you just won't get the best experience out of the game that way.

I wonder how the mod discussions turn out when you and Ami are both at the table...

Bah, you're only the second-strongest master of this hole. I'm truly the third-strongest master. And now I'll show you the true power in being third!

Care to explain what you didn't like about Earthbound? I need specific targets to attack and decimate with the power of my arguments. :D
 
I'm not sure where I should post this, but I'm going to ask here since I'm sure some of you guys got Ys on VC.

When I start up the game, the title music doesn't play (where it shows the women in the mirror, with Ys spelled in Katakana). Also, I recently was gifted Castlevania, and the title/first few rooms didn't play music, until I reached the bat boss.

Does anyone else have sound issues with VC games?
 
Sega goodness draws closer, as the PEGI has rated:

-Phantasy Star IV (Now rated by all four US/EU/AU boards - ESRB, OFLC, PEGI and USK)
-Strider (Rated around August 2007 by the OFLC then never mentioned again)
 
Bububu- I was enjoying Americans complaining about Europe getting it before them:
WII-KLY UPDATE: ONE WIIWARE GAME AND TWO VIRTUAL CONSOLE GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL


September 1, 2008

Strike up the band and let the confetti fly! This week, the Wii™ Shop Channel celebrates the momentous release of its 250th game title for the Virtual Console™, pushing the selection of classic games to an exhilarating new high. And because a special occasion deserves a special guest, Nintendo is thrilled to name the beloved Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars™ as the game to hold this exciting distinction. Along with a delightful new WiiWare™ title and a delirious underwater adventure, this gem from the Super NES® era guarantees a festive, fun-packed Labor Day holiday for Wii™ owners of all stripes.

Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

WiiWare

My Aquarium (Hudson Entertainment, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): With swaying aquatic plants and fish idly swimming about, My Aquarium is a relaxing Wii experience that allows you to enjoy a virtual aquarium in your spare time. Whether freshwater or saltwater, you can select from over 40 popular types of fish, including favorites like the Ocellaris clownfish, the freshwater angelfish and the Asian arowana. You can also create up to six different aquariums and personalize them by adding decorations like seaweed and driftwood. In My Aquarium, you can send aquariums to your registered Wii Friends. The aquariums can even be set with special dates, such as a friend's birthday, that the fish will commemorate with a dance. Feed your fish and watch them steadily grow from fry to adult. Then, after meeting certain conditions, you can breed them. Another feature will allow you to interact with your fish using your Wii Remote™ controller in fun ways, like "tapping" the glass of your aquarium.

Virtual Console

Clu Clu Land™ (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Take a deep breath and prepare for a puzzle game set in the underwater kingdom of Clu Clu Land. The greedy Sea Urchins have stolen all of Clu Clu Land's gold bars and buried them in a series of mazes. As Bubbles, a brave bubble fish, you'll set out to uncover all of the gold bars in each maze. But you'll have to be careful: Sea Urchins will relentlessly pursue Bubbles, and there are also dangerous black holes that must be avoided. Bubbles isn't defenseless, though, as she has the ability to stun Sea Urchins with sound waves and quickly change direction using posts scattered throughout the stages. Not only that, but the locations of the gold bars in each maze form the outline of another object—once you know the object, you're well on your way to finding the gold. With 20 stages to complete and increasingly complex conditions (like having to pass over the gold bars twice to uncover them), you might just want to bring along a friend for help.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Super NES, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Set in the Mushroom Kingdom and featuring its cast of well-known characters, this adventure RPG begins with a familiar scenario: Mario™ must rescue Princess Toadstool™ from Bowser™. However, a mysterious new enemy named Smithy soon appears, and Mario and Bowser are forced to fight as allies for the first time in their long history. In the quest to defeat their powerful new foe, they'll journey across a wide variety of locations (a town of mining moles, a tropical forest, a thundering waterfall—just to name a few) and tackle a mix of obstacles requiring both expert timing and strategy to overcome. Along the way, they'll gain experience and grow more powerful, while also meeting new characters whose unique abilities will be needed to take on Smithy and his gang. Striking a perfect balance of traditional RPG elements and the action-packed game play Mario is famous for, it's easy to see why this title has earned "legendary" status.

Super Mario RPG is --sooooo-- ugly.

Once again, I'm tempted to pull out the old review I did of the game. Much too high, I'm sure.
 
super mario rpg has one of the most annoying hidden pieces of armor ever--the super suit. you basically had to do 100 super jumps consecutively in battle, with timing changes and all. it took me a good amount of hours to get it.

I actually got over 30 (For the Attack Scarf) for the first time ever on the VC version, I never managed it in over 10 playthroughs of the SNES version. I don't think I'll ever get the Super Suit though (Not that you really need it with the Safety Ring and Badge).
 
VC~~~~~~~!

Oh, how I love thee. Honestly, I've been waiting for SMRPG for the sole purpose of buying it as a gift for my little brother. I start classes tomorrow, and I move in tonight, so this will make the perfect going-away present to him. I'm so excited! ^_^

I wish my big brother was like you. All he does is give me noogies. :(
 
Mario RPG...all I can says is....YES!!!!!!!!!!

I got this game for the SNES about 9 years ago but the game broke down...I got all the way to the
Axem Rangers

It was my favorite game ever. I used to play it so much (Which was odd since I in general dont like RPGs) but now I can relive it and finally beat it! YEA!!!

Your favorite game ever is one you haven't beaten?
 
I wonder if we'll see Clu Clu Land "D" in the future... I mean, they did localize the CCL Disk sequel in the GameCube Animal Crossing...
 
I wasn't waiting for SMRPG but i'm happy it will shut off a couple of whinners around here.

Now i'll go caress my SMRPG SNES cartridge.
 
OH GAWD YES, ALL OVER MY TITS!

<3 VC.

Mario RPG is honestly the only Nintendo game I've never played properly before, I know its Squaresoft sorta but still, you know what I mean.

These VC releases are always good... the classics you missed. :D

I dunno, I loved SMRPG when it first came out. I'm not an RPG fan but the world Square created managed to keep me enthralled, which is rare. Not sure if I'll download this though.
 
Super Mario RPG was one of my favorite games, and then my brother lent it to one of his friends and I never saw it again. Now we can be reunited. :D
