Well, took me a week to add my second star.
Much, much easier the second time through, but by comparison to SMB which I breezed through with warps in 5 minutes after beating SMB2 the game is still a great challenge. It is really growing on me, although I can see how to most people it would be far more frustrating than fun.
Only got to 9-1 this time around so I still haven't seen 9-4.

Just downloaded super metroid as Im currently playing corruption and never played the snes version.
Quick question.....whats with the german/french subtitles, can they not be turned off?
It seems like you have to either have friench or german subtitles as your playing the game, whats all that about?
Was this in the snes version or just added jn the vc version?

So since we got SMB3 before actual Mario week, and all the other Marios are out, I'm guessing Nintendo will put out Super Mario All-Stars next week and make us pay all over again for the same games.

But that's 196 megs, it is. Are they compressing the files? Hope Nintendo let's us eventually play off the memory port.

WII-KLY UPDATE: THREE NEW CLASSIC GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL
Nov. 12, 2007
Winter vacation may be weeks away, but there's no need to wait for a fun-filled escape. The latest additions to the Wii™ Shop Channel can take you to places as familiar as a gymnasium or as fantastical as faraway planets. Fans of sports games, space-age shooters and intergalactic action will all find something to love in this week's lively lineup.
Three new classic games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the Wii Shop Channel 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:
Volleyball (NES®, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Step onto the court in one of the first volleyball games ever made. Select either the men's or women's competition, choose from one of eight available countries to represent, and prepare for some intensely fun game play. The straightforward controls include all the moves you'll need to effectively direct your six-person team. Take some time mastering them in the training mode, though, because you'll need all the practice you can get when competing against challenging computer opponents. If you feel like some multiplayer action, take on a friend in the two-player mode and see whose skills are more polished. Block, set and spike your way to victory.
AXELAY® (Super NES®, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): Mysterious aliens have invaded the Earth-like planet of Corliss, slowly draining the planet's resources. Take control of the prototype Axelay ship and use its wide range of advanced weaponry to battle enemy forces. Play through multiple stages of action —from other planets to space stations — all on your way to destroying the alien headquarters. You are Corliss' last line of defense, so be careful not to be too distracted by the excellent graphics (including great scrolling effects) and rocking music. Pilot the Axelay using Konami's famously tight play control and experience what many consider to be a classic of the shooter genre.
BLUE'S JOURNEY (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 900 Wii Points): The planet of Raguy has been invaded by the Daruma tribe, changing it from a beautiful and peaceful place into one filled with pollution. Released in 1991, this horizontally scrolling action game tells the story of an insectarian named Blue and his quest to save the planet and keep its inhabitants from being turned into slaves. Use Blue's main weapon, a leaf, to flip enemies onto their heads and then throw them at other members of the Daruma tribe, defeating anyone in your way. Additional weapons, such as bombs and boomerangs, are also available, or you can collect flowers to purchase other special items like honey or swim fins. Blue also has the special ability to change his size at will — if he's too big to fit in a particular area, then shrink him. The bright, colorful graphics, combined with lots of hidden items to find, ensure an enjoyable experience with plenty of replay value. Help Blue muster all his strength and eliminate the Daruma tribe.

I would think that wouldn't happen, since they would totally sabotage sales of the other four NES titles.
Perhaps they'll sell it for 1500 pts.
Sad thing is...I'd probably still buy it.

Alright, since its been a long time and a whole lot of shit that used to be on people's wishlists has come out, it is time for a new round of WISHFUL THINKING.
Now that Neo-Geo and SuperCD games are actually possible, this should be good.
Legendary Axe- C'mon Hudson. This is first-gen stuff, but it's bloody brilliant. Get on the stick and bring us this little gem.
Dracula X- PLEASE. I know the PSP version is alive and kicking, but the chance to play the unadulterated original in 480p with a classic pad would rock so hard.
Viewpoint- So hard, such great music, its a Neo classic by any measure. Bring it!
Baseball Stars 2- The best arcade baseball game of all time. BELIEVE IT!
Chrono Trigger- I know Squeenix is squeamish about VC...fuck that. It's free money waiting to be printed for you fools.
Post your most wanted please.

prepare for their rage
various rabid sonic fans have already picked up this scent
Anyway, I haven't bought any VC games in a while, I've been waiting for something real exciting to come out, but the last few weeks have been pretty bland aside from SMB3.
I do wish there was some way to play a VC game for even just 10 minutes or so. I'm real hesitant to buy several games because I never played them when they were new, and I don't want to feel meh on the game and just be out my 5-10 bucks. Mostly games like the Treasure releases. Oh well, I suppose I should go search out some roms again.
