Ninja Commando is a fun little game, and it's one of the few Neo Geo ones released recently that isn't on the SNK Arcade Classics discs. Probably not worth the 900 points though.

I'm pleasantly surprised w/ DK3. Very easy to get into/pick up & play, but lots going on underneath. Does that make sense? Not necessarily strategy, but you have to stay alert & on your toes. Even the platform formations on the floor affect gameplay. Is this one of Miyamoto's?
Also bought Balloon Fight yesterday. Not a bad little game either, sorta simpler Joust-type vibe.
Gotta get those nonviolent easier games for the wife & kids now.

Balloon Fight, in my opinion, is brilliant. I know it's kind of a Joust clone, but the presentation is great. Me and my fiancee' still play it all the time. Great for 2 people. Probably my favorite of the "Black Box" games.Originally Posted by RJ

The official press release is different then Hudson's website. Hudson claimed Break In and Star Parodier are supposed to be release today. I don't know happened there. I can't complain over it though, since the two game are good games supposely and I like to play shoot-em-ups.

Yeah, that's a pretty big release right there. Much props to Sega; I'm going to be on the VC for the first time in months tonight.
Is there a website that covers VC and WiiWare release for the Japanese Wii? Something that updates when new games are released and such?
For VC games, I don't know of any dedicated sites, but Nintendo of Japan (unlike NoA or NoE) gives out a list of each month's upcoming releases that vcreviews.com will put on their site.
Not sure about WiiWare stuff though.
Hudson has announced we'll be getting Break In, Star Parodier, and Y's Book 1 & 2 in August.

I hope this information is correct by Hudson. A good amount of people have been waiting for the vc release of Y's Book 1 & 2 including myself.

Y's Book I and II. Hallefuckingleuja.
Can I get an amen! I'll be happy to add Ys 1+2 to my VC lineup.
Finally it's been out on the vc for japan for a while now.
My guess hudson has finally,got through the redtape to release Ys Book 1&2 here.
I have it for my pce/t16 but a down load is welcome.Since i won't have to drag the system out every time i want to play it.

Art of Fighting Anthology is $9.99 at Circuit City and $14.99 everywhere else. Who exactly are they marketing these NG releases to?

Uggh, these Wiiware games sound terrible.
Storage problems don't need resolved because no one will download this crap.
How the hell did Pong Toss "Frat Party Games" get an E via the ESRB ...
... while I'm sure it doesn't flat-out "condone" drinking, it's no secret that what you're playing is BEER-PONG, I've seen games get ratings above E for a SOLITARY reference to drinking or smoking.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
To those that don't have PS2's? Like me. Doesn't mean I'll buy the game though.
I've noticed that the VC emulation tends to be better, and the games look nicer on the Wii. Plus I think the Classic Controller makes for a better experience vs the PS2 D-pad, especially for fighting games.
To be fair, SNK Arcade Classics Vol.1 comes out for the Wii tomorrow containing:
Sengoku
Magician Lord
Ninja Combat
World Heroes
Magician Lord
The King of Fighters '94
Art of Fighting
King of the Monsters
Last Resort
Metal Slug
Neo Turf Masters
Samurai Showdown
Burning Fight
Shock Troopers
Super Sidekicks 3
Top Hunter
For $29.99. Seeing as how a good number of the games on the compiliation are on the VC now for 900 points a pop ($9.00), it does seem as though Neo Geo releases are priced very strangely.
*YAWN*
Another shit week for the VC...Earthbound? Nope...just in Japan.
Take a hike, wang-broom!
I swear I can smell your stinky hands from here!
Emulation: They really look and control better on the VC? Interesting.
Control: You're forgetting that the PS2 has the Neo Geo arcade stick and Neo Geo control pad accessories. They're exact 1:1 replicas of the originals...re-designed to work with PS2's.
EDIT: Nevermind...the Wii is getting the same thing...
