Yeah this is a bit troubling. I have a feeling it'll continue this way for quite a while. Maybe they have too much money and don't want anymore. No other reason for it.

For once, Europe has it better than us. At least they had a game worth downloading in their one game week.
I'm joking, 1080 fans who are ready to stone me.

The other guy is probably translating Smash....
That's the thing, it's been a one game week for America and Europe, but both games have been excellent anyway! It could be a lot worse, look at it that way 
We're not at no games a week!(...yet <_< >_>)
And I'm really enjoying Lolo 2, but that was expected. I love level based puzzlers, and this is probably second only to Lemmings in that regard. It's definitely for those who've completed the first game though, I'm currently trying to work out the fiendish level 7!

Jiggy, have you tried any of the secret "Pro" levels in Lolo 2? They're pretty intense.
It makes me wonder how difficult it must be to come up with these levels. They're so cleverly designed, the creators must have had each and every aspect of the game mechanics branded into their minds. But then they did create them in the first place =P
Leaving it at what I think was level 12 for tonight. I look forward to more <3

FEIII = FEI = FEIII. Therefore, yes it probably refers to the DS game, but the DS game (which is guaranteed an English release) has the original scenario of Fire Emblem 1 included.
We all win.

IIRC, FE3 was a remake of the first.
And this is the first I've ever heard of FE3 remade for the DS.

VC version should have the superior FM synth music too, as long as they emulate the superior japanese version of the SMS.
The save bug is funny. Just gotta remember not to save during the music loop in PS. There are no problems that I know of with the PSP versions of II-IV, and it is quite a bit cheaper. Heck I found it for $6!

What is the likelihood that they would release the original Smash Bros in the next couple weeks? I have a bunch of points to spend but I'm very stingy with my purchases.

Live Arcade just got Rez HD, it gets a pass for a couple of months.

So you haven't been paying the slightest bit of attention to the Virtual Console over the course of the past year, yeah?
Hint: they're not going to emulate the Japanese version with the FM synth. They're going to present it as identical to what it was in its original US release.
Dunno if it's old, but this article on VC versus used sale prices is pretty interesting. Looking at just Nintendo's stuff, they're undervaluing on 28 games but overvaluing on 23 games.
Yeah, I noticed that too... most of the overvalued stuff in general seems to be on NES and Genesis actually. Meanwhile Hudson's practically giving away TG16 stuff compared to the used market. :lolJiggy37 said:
Overall system figures for those too lazy to click...
NES used $273.53
NES VC $288.00
SNES used $354.38
SNES VC $216.00
N64 used $169.42
N64 VC $102.00
Genesis used $406.59
Genesis VC $353.00
TG16 used $1,177.67 (minus 4 games even!)
TG16 VC $294.00
NeoGeo used $135.00
NeoGeo VC $72.00
Total used $2,516.59
Total VC $1,325.00

Well, a lot of the undervalued games are still things that no one would want to play. Dk jr. Math was over $11 on that list. It just happens to be relatively rare.
It's the same reason why Atlus titles are almost always $50-100 used within a year or two of their release, but (most) Squre-Enix titles can be had for $10-25 after a similar amount of time.

2 VC games sounds about right with Smash bring released.

Donkey Kong Jr. Math's price is insanely high. I can't imagine anyone but the most diehard of diehard collectors paying any more than a buck for that game.
Bubble Bobble is oddly high, too.

But yeah, if you're an optimist, Smash being released might be a decent way to explain this away as a one-time thing (at least for Japan). With the demos Sakurai put in, Nintendo might be thinking that VC sales of games put up long ago are going to be boosted enough that new things put up this week would just get overshadowed.

No, the code handling the FM music on PS1 was cut from the game, so they could get it on a smaller cart.
Don't count on it.FordStang said:
There's pretty much a stalemate regarding the rights to the game and it'll likely never see the light of day again on any system.
EarthBound, on the other hand, is all Nintendo.
Give us our wish this week, NOA!
Yeah, I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. >.>

We have to get Earthbound before Brawl comes out.
We just have to. ;_;

Because, as Nintendo has demonstrated time and time again, Nintendo (of America) hates Mother and all of its fans.

I'm a little confused on the Earthbound situation, is there anything preventing Nintendo from releasing it? I played a little bit of the game through frowned upon measures when I was younger, I loved what I played, and I want to give Nintendo my 8 bucks. Why does this game seem to have no chance of being released?

There's absolutely nothing stopping Nintendo from releasing it. No licensing issues, no special chips or other technical issues...
Nintendo just refuses to release it. It's a superb game, Nintendo just tries to forget about it. I guess its lackluster sales when it debuted killed their enthusiasm for it.

I did know what you meant, yes.
This is NOA.Iam Canadian said:
They'll probably take the Earthbound trial out of Brawl, then release it on VC anyway--that very Monday after Brawl just, in their best attempt to ensure that it fails in sales again so that they can claim "legitimate" reason for not translating Mother 3.
Edit: And their attempt will fail when Starmen.net buys it in droves, but NOA will simply find another "legitimate" excuse anyway.

Optimism here, remember it?
NOA isn't evil, nor incapable of doing their job (that award goes to NOE) and I'm sure SSB and the three mother games will show up in some form or another in the next few months.
Don't make me link Pollyanna now.
