    Thread title got me all excited for a second. :(

    Seriously, what the fuck would it take for them to just put it there already? People are fucking begging for it, and it isn't like HAL is being uncooperative about it. Plus, they only stand to make like a bajillion dollars.

    I just don't understand why some companies deny me the chance to give them my wallet and all of its contents.

    Also, I do not understand all the Zelda II hate. Personally, I think it's fun as hell. I found the first one to be confusing and boring. Every dungeon looked the same, every map twisting and turning until you are left for dead. Leveling up in Zelda II is awesome and gives you a sense of growth. Sorry for the rant, it's just reading vc-reviews blurb on it has me all pissy now.

    I'm starting to think that they're taking advantage of the demand for Earthbound and saving it for the end of the Wii's life cycle or something, either that or they think they stand to lose money on it, but since we got shit like Urban Champion that shouldn't be an issue.

    and I don't think either of the first two Zeldas aged well, both practically require a strategy guide or FAQ unless you've played them so many times that you know them by heart

    Since we're on the topic, I'm going to go ahead and say that when EarthBound finally does show up on the VC, if it doesn't become the best-selling game within a few days then you have all failed at life.

    I'm just disappointed because it's basically the one title everyone wants that isn't covered in license fees or uncooperative copyright laws.

    I totally agree. Zelda II is awesome. The combat is actually great, especially once you get the downward and upward stab moves. It's ridiculously hard, though.

    I really hate the first one. It may be revolutionary and amazing for its time, but damn if it isn't one of the most frustrating and boring games Nintendo has ever made.

    Hate is a strong word in my case because with an FAQ, I can go through the first game. I just won't enjoy a second of it.

    I've got 2 questions regarding Donkey Kong Country 3:

    1) Is there any way to switch the buttons for jumping and running? I'm playing with a Wavebird, and the button positions on the controller are kinda akward for this game.

    2) Is it only me or does the music and sound effects not sound like they should be? I've played DKC 1&2 on the SNES before, and remember them both having a much better sound quality.

    Konami needs to get off their ass and get a ton of games onto VC. Life force, more gradius. I'm certain there are more that I'm unable to recall. (holidays have been rough on my mind)

    I have TMNT for NES in a closet a few feet away from me, and just being reminded of that game is really quite painful.

    The gameplay was... completely shit. Getting rolled over by tanks and snowplows or some bullshit, and half the monsters made no sense at all.

    Shame I didn't see it back then, when I blamed myself for sucking at the game(I think i was around 8 maybe), and being a huge fan of TMNT I just kept playing.

    I don't understand why anyone would spend points on it tbh.



    Also, why is 1000 points €10 / $10?

    $10 is currently worth €6.81. No pun intended or whatever, hopefully the dollar will bounce back soon.

    Oh well, at least we got Mega Man 2:!!:

    Not to mention the controls, the bosses, and nearly all of the levels except maybe the first one.

    If anything I hate it more because I didn't grow up forcing myself to play it. TMNT2: The Arcade Game was my constant companion on snow days. I had to go back and emulate the first one - terrible move. How were the third and fourth ones on NES in comparison to the second?
