Super Metroid (SNES, 800)
Probotector II: Return of the Evil Forces (NES, 500)

The latter is known as Super C in the rest of the world. Also I like it much better than the SNES Contra which felt pretty much like "how many times can we change the gameplay per minute".

BTW, Alien Soldier is great (what do you expect from Treasure?). It's pretty much a boss rush, the levels between the bosses can be completed in maybe ten seconds each but the bosses are pretty interesting and the teleport dash (like the flashstep in Bleach DS) really makes it play unlike anything else. I'm currently stuck at the giant enemy crab because I can't hit its weak point enough to do MASSIVE damage! BTW, even when a boss doesn't flash when hit he takes damage, only when your shots "ping" off the boss is actually invulnerable. Flashing means you hit the boss's weak spot and do more damage. It's pretty damn hard to keep the timelimit vs the first boss if you don't know you can hurt him even when his weak spot is out of range.

Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES, 500)
Fore: Power Golf (TG, 600)
Blue's Journey (NG, 900)

The last one isn't mentioned on the NoE website's update, the logo is on there but a text description is missing. The game is in the shop channel though.

What's Blue's Journey?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #107 on:** November 09, 2007, 02:33:13 AM »

Sidescrolling jump & run. It kinda suffers from feature overload, your character can morph between large and small with the push of a button (think small/super Mario), attacking happens with weapons, one of which lets you pick enemies up and throw them like in SMB 2 or you can jump on enemies which makes them spin like a twister (this does damage to bosses BTW, you don't need to throw enemies at them although you can do that too) and when you jump off they slide around like the turtle shells in any SMB game, you collect money and buy items, you can select one out of two stages for level 2 and 3 and there's NPC houses where you can interact with people. Overall it's nice but I really don't know what half of those items do. You can get through the game without caring about them though.

EDIT: Forgot to mention the 2 player coop.

Haven't checked on the Wii since it's downstairs but the website lists:

King of Fighters '94 (NG, 900)
Bubble Bobble (NES, 500)

(prices are guesses since I don't have the Wii at hand)

Baseball Stars 2 (NG, 900)
The Dynastic Hero (TG, 800)

The latter looks a lot like Wonder Boy in Monster World which is already on the VC.

Kairon · « **Reply #114 on:** November 29, 2007, 08:30:32 PM »

So is Europe usually behind America in the games they receive, or do you guys offer a 3 day preview of what we get over here?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #115 on:** November 29, 2007, 09:07:47 PM »

Seems kinda random. Some games come earlier, some later. I think that what gets released in one region has a good chance to appear in others but the delay between the releases can vary a lot. Just look if the games I post here show up on your VC too. I don't think I've heard of the US getting Dynastic Hero, for example but there were 3 NEOGEO releases when the console was introduced to the US and only one in Europe (which also happened a week later I think).

Wait, Mega Man 2? Did Mega Man 1 come out in Europe? (Was the cartridge released in Europe?)

Ghisy · « **Reply #122 on:** December 16, 2007, 03:32:49 AM »

Uh huh, Mega Man 1 did come out in Europe: I have it for my NES.

Nemo · « **Reply #123 on:** December 16, 2007, 10:19:06 PM »

Oops, I meant to also ask, did it come out for VC in Europe?
