Post links if applicable!

I'm so used to a few reviews off of NSider that that news really sucks a big one.
And sad to say NWR's aren't always on time with theirs. I could count on at least three quality reviews up on NSider before 11am EST on Mondays!!!

Though, at NWR, in the talkback threads for the VC games, every puts in their 2 cents about the games they know about. It does take about a day for NWR to do the VC update, it has great info on the games.

Already got that one and about 20+ others
But I like reviews w/ lost of pics, and videos, and good hostory of the games/systems they came out on. I can't stand the "It's great" or "It Sucks" review. I'd really like to know WHY it sucks or is great.

Here or in another forum here?

Already answered for you! See, we're not that bad, just remember that while we might be different from the Nsider forums, we're still extremely more special.

Isn't that how we all buy games? If it's good enough for Minesweeper, it ought to be good enough for everything else!

The weekly Raido Free Nintendo podcast often discusses the weeks VC games =) plus it's a kick ass podcast to listen to.

Would you say better than IGN's Wiik in Review podcast? Just asking.... I know you guys offer that as I am a LONG time reader of this site for Nintendo news.

But I do know I tend to enjoy listening to the NWR RFN podcasts, plus it's got Mike's wacky mail bag . . .
*accepts pile of fake NWR monies*
Seriously though it's a good show that has a pretty solid cast that's entertaining to listen to and usually very informative with the occasional thought provoking discussion.

LOL!
Now that would be the wackiest show ever . . .
I would be so down for a RFN "fan debate".
We could follow it up with Mashiro vs THE WORLD for the Killer7 debate.

Meantime, if people want to post reviews I say go ahead!
Also, NWR has to buy all the games we review on VC. Which sucks when someone is assigned Golden Axe 2 or that one where you fly....whatever it's called...
