I completely forgot to check the VC for this week. Not bad at all for a single game week.

Magnet Man's stage music is one of my all time favorites in the entire franchise 
...too bad I already recently bought the MM: Anniversy Collection for PS2. Yeah, the emulation isn't the best, but it sure as hell beats paying for each entry on VC

The whole thing strikes me as rather bizarre. The only way I can see Nintendo turning down Bionic Commando was if Capcom insisted it launch alongside Rearmed and/or the next gen title. Not a decision I would make, but I could see why Nintendo wouldn't want to engage in such cross promotion. Still, the best solution for all parties involved would have been having the original hit VC about three/four/five months prior to Rearmed's launch. Oh, well . . . I wouldn't count a VC release as completely impossible though; the game may still hit in the far off future.
Well, from what we've been "told", VC releases are generally NOA/NCL licensing out entire libaries of games from third parties and releasing them according to a cryptic, internal schedule... which implies that third parties have no ability to actually "push" for any particular release date of anything.

Here's the really troubling thing: Bionic Commando, unedited to my knowledge, was rereleased in the GBA Capcom Classics Mini Mix a little over two years ago. So I definitely think it was politics at work.

I'm sure it's possible depending on the situation. Mega Man 1 and 2 appearing in the two months before Mega Man 9 surely was not accidental, I'm sure Capcom willed it that way (not to mention the simultaneous DD release of Mega Man 9). Granted that the set release date seems to be first estimated but only decided the Friday or so before the actual release. I don't think that you can pick a specific date simply because they are working with so many publishers and devs that it could create a lot of chaos with big weeks or small weeks or companies dumping a large amount of games in small time frame. I think Nintendo wants more of a steady flow, with a variety of developers represented in the mix and so it regulates it heavily.

Mirage Studios/Ubi Soft may have accepted only $1 in IP royalties from Konami's revenue post-Nintendo tax, but I somehow doubt Disney would do the same for Capcom's games. Notice that no subsequent VC-eligible TMNT games have been released; I'll bet Mirage and Ubi demanded more. All of these companies are probably squabbling over their share and I'd imagine it's choking off a lot of the flow of titles.

Ok, so recently I purchased and finished Solomon's Key. Holy shit, what a hard game. Satisfying as hell though when you have that 'Eureka!' moment after figuring out the solution.
Anyway, for those who have finished it:
Anyway, for those who have finished it:
Was it just me or is the last level just, I dunno, stupid? Like, it's not only ridiculous easy, but the puzzle to get rid of the last block was never found previously in the game before. I'm a stickler for games that introduce new concepts at the final stages, and having to use my magic on the enemy spawner just seemed really illogical to me. In fact, I only discovered it by randomly creating blocks everywhere and accidentally hitting it.

How did I miss the fact that Mega Man 3 popped up on VC this week? :O
I will download it as soon as my LBP level is published and Mirror's Edge is beaten.

What is this "Phantasy Star IV" you speak of? Certainly it can't be one of the best games ever made ... or can it? A RPG so fine that people name themselves after its characters?

Time to clean out your fridges, bitches, 'cause the King of Mega Drive is finally here!

Awesome week for Europe.
Here's hoping North America gets Phantasy Star IV soon.

About a dozen pages ago, I made the case that Secret of Mana would be the perfect Christmas week title. Nintendo of America might not listen, but it's nice to know Nintendo of Europe still takes their marching orders from me. :lol

I'm going to make a prediction...I think we're going to be seeing Phantasy Star IV and Metal Slug 2 tomorrow.
Now watch as my optimism is cruelly crushed.

I wouldn't buy any Sega VC game now that they're essentially releasing everything in that PS3/360 compilation for 30$ soon. I was thinking about buying the Shining Force games and then that comp was announced.

Metal Slug is already on VC (Unless you mean Metal Slug 2?)
Hmm.
Nintendo Channel claims that F-Zero is coming today... which is odd, as both F-Zero and F-Zero X have been released on VC already. Anyone want to make any guesses as to what, if anything, that means?
It also claims the Wii Ware games are Target Toss Pro: Bags and Strong Bad 4: Dangeresque.

F-Zero WOULD seem like a fluke, but I'm trying to think of what some NOA flunkie could have mixed up a game code and gotten F-Zero mixed up with...
For that matter, I'm trying to figure out why the Nintendo Channel is showing upcoming WW titles before the official PR.

Oh, wow, that's a terrible typo. Yeah, I meant Metal Slug 2. >_>
DavidDayton said:
Because it happened to update at a different time that was earlier.
What F-Zero does it show specifically? F-Zero VC was released 11/19/2006, could easily be a date screw up by mistyping the year. The much more unlikey thing would be something like BS F-Zero Grand Prix.

Seriously, there's got to be someone at NoA going:
"Hey, see that Space Invaders Get Even? You want it? Huh? Do ya? Well here you go, here's Space Invaders... THE ORIGINAL GAME! Psyche! Jeez, you fall for it every time..."
