Not sure of the name, but there is also a DSiWare App for 200 points that lets you scan color codes from the arcade version of Dragon Quest Victory: Monster Battle Road using the DSi's outer camera and unlock stuff in the Wii version. Obviously this app will be useless unless you have access to the arcade machine (released only in Japan), a copy of the Wii game, and a Japanese DSi/DSi XL.

OH HAY LOOK NO VC

This is 4 weeks and counting. I'm seriously thinking they're going to let the Sunsoft games come out and then euthanize it. Unless Q4 is absolutely insane...

[Sarail]

Not until they release Terranigma. After that, they can kill it.  I won't be content until America can get a taste of Terranigma.  Amazing game.

Impossible, the NoA VC staffers are run by animals, and not the smart kind.

[TJ Spyke]

And just to taunt us, Japan just got a basketball (an American created sport) game on the VC this week.

[KDR_11k]

I hope the military vehicles in Paperfield were by-products of making Glory Days 3, they certainly don't fit into Pop Island (even their icons look off) but they do seem to cover the types GD3 would need.

Waaah! No Harvest Moon 64 on VC console ever! 

Game was coded in a very awkward way which makes it tough to port over. I have it on N64, but I don't have it right now and I wanted to get it anyway. Would have been one of the first 3rd Party VC games besides Ogre Battle.

[TJ Spyke]

Not never, he admitted that it's just unlikely. They will continue working on getting it working.

[broodwars]

Given that all the Harvest Moon games are essentially the same (outside of Rune Factory), does it really matter if the N64 entry doesn't make it onto the VC?  That game is completely broken and boring once you get the Greenhouse anyway.  I would definitely like to see 3rd party N64 titles, but I can live without that one.

[TJ Spyke]

I have never played any Harvest Moon game, but I hear a lot of fans say that Harvest Moon 64 is the best in the series.

[Stratos]

None of the Harvest Moon games  have captured my attention and interest as much as the N64 one. SNES is a close second. Rune Factory was pretty awesome though.
