I'm currently considering buying Breath of Fire 2. Sad thing they don't put more rpg games there. I like those, particulary the old japanese ones.

It makes a huge difference in games such as Zelda and RE4, etc....but for VC games it makes little difference.

Posible info from Edge about getting a VC type setup for Gameboy games on DS.

In addition to reporting exciting (but unofficial) new details regarding Animal Crossing on Wii, Edge magazine has claimed in its latest issue that the arrival of an official Nintendo DS flash card is "imminent."

The device, said to rely on similar technologies to those that run rampant throughout the pirate and homebrew scenes, will apparently launch initially with the ability to store and play past Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, which Nintendo will sell in similar style to its Virtual Console titles on Wii.

Edge also stated, "Compared to the slightly vague WiiWare proposition, this has the possibility to revolutionise homebrew development – at least in terms of distribution and the possibility of mainstream success – but how far the notoriously controlling Japanese giant will allow that community the creative freedom it requires to flourish will only be seen in practice."

Punch Out, Mario 1, Mario Lost Levels, Mario 2, Mario World, Super Metroid, Street Fighter, Bomberman '93.

For great multiplayer, go with Bomberman. For awesome single player, go with Super Metroid. Mario 1 is just fun, and Lost Levels will make you cry out of frustration (that's a good thing).

Sin and Punishment is an awesome, obscure N64 game which wasn't released outside of Japan. It's pretty much an anime-inspired rail shooter, except you can dodge, roll, jump and stuff. No multiplayer, but the single player is fun enough if you're somehow not interested in getting any of the old Mario games.

Wasn't Lost Levels, and all the other Hanabi Month games only available for that week only?

Miss you Ryan
My first ten minutes of Lost Levels was like that video of Mario Frustration on youtube, where the guy's comments are the only redeeming factor (worth a watch if you haven't seen it, it's long though.)

When it was all new and different I struggled, I even stopped for a while, but I did alost better on my second attempt. top notch game in my oppinion.

Wow, I would hate to buy a card, and get home, and someone already put in the code >_>
Has that ever worked for you?

What would be sweet, is if they released Mario Forever for the VC.

Megaman IS up...in either Europe or Japan. Can't remember.

Contra IS up...at least Contra 3 is. And one more, but can't remember it.

And Chrono Trigger isn't up there 'cause it's SquareEnix. They believe that people still want a hard copy of their media.

The cards are only activated once scanned in the store, so the chances of someone typing in the code, between the time you go from the store to home, is pretty slim.
