Naah, look through the thread. Roughly every second week they only add one game.

The first SMS games are out in Europe.

did 4 games come out on one day? That seems so extreme.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #153 on:** April 12, 2008, 02:12:48 AM »

Well, they prepared for it by going down to 1 for a few weeks...

Cho Aniki* (TG, 900)
Metal Slug (NG, 900)
Puyo Puyo 2* (MD, 900)

again, *= fireworks icon (denotes imports).

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #158 on:** May 09, 2008, 07:34:20 PM »

What is Cho Aniki?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #159 on:** May 10, 2008, 01:25:25 AM »

The gayest shmup ever. There's just no other way to say it.

Kairon · « **Reply #160 on:** May 10, 2008, 03:17:23 AM »

Oh snap Cho Aniki! That's a definite "I can't believe I'm buying this and all my friends are gonna look at me weird" purchase when it comes to America!

KDR_11k · « **Reply #161 on:** May 17, 2008, 05:53:44 AM »

Oh right, forgot to update.

Gley Lancer* (900, MD)
Star Parodier* (900, TG)
Digital Champ Battle Boxing* (700, TG)

The former two are shmups and the latter is a boxing game where you box in order to prevent an evil AI from conquering Earth (lol).

Uh, I guess posting the Wiiware releases here is redundant since they're on the frontpage and everything. I got Toki Tori for 900 points, it's nice though I don't like it when games generate messages for the board that then make the Wii glow...

Kairon · « **Reply #163 on:** May 21, 2008, 03:47:14 PM »

I can't wait for Toki Tori personally. The game looks right up my alley.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #164 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:17:29 PM »

I'm pretty far into the game, I'll write a review in the reader reviews forum.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #165 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:05:44 AM »

Paradroid (C64, 500)

Only one game to make up for the Wiiware I guess... The name does sound familiar though.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #166 on:** May 29, 2008, 04:57:12 PM »

wait you guys get C64 games and we don't?

The only way to do that is to import a British Wii. If it were any easier than that I'd have Vectorman, Mega Man, and several other great games Europe has that haven't come here yet by now.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #171 on:** May 29, 2008, 10:26:41 PM »

Would the British Wii still play my US games? VC or otherwise?

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #172 on:** May 29, 2008, 10:36:08 PM »

No, unfortunately. Unless you bought a Freeloader for the Wii games, but even then compatibility is patchy.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #173 on:** May 29, 2008, 10:38:05 PM »

Well I think I am still going to find a way to do this.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #174 on:** May 30, 2008, 12:04:12 AM »

Judging from how Metal Slug just came to the US VC a few weeks after it arrived in Europe, I'd say there could be a decent chance of Samurai Shodown hitting America pretty soon. But then there's always some peculiar things going on with the Virtual Console, like how everyone has Axelay (even Australia) except for Europe, so it's hard to predict with any great confidence.

For the record, the PAL Virtual Console is no bed of roses - slow gameplay and borders afflict most games to varying degrees (Mega Drive/Genesis most of all), the only exceptions being Turbografx, import games and the very occasional game that was converted well originally (e.g. the DKC games).
