Interesting... every single one of my Turbografx games is being listed as "Updated". Anyone know what the updates are for? Is it possible they've fixed the blurry picture quality?

Will try downloading one later to see what changes have been made & report back if no-one else gets there first.

Can't say for certain. I tested Dragon's Curse out and I thought it looked a little bit cleaner. I'm prone to being wrong however.

Probably a better way to test the picture quality is R-Type and/or Ninja Spirit. Dragon's Curse is a bit too "clean" for a really accurate test.

Australia recently got all TG games Europe has, with the exception of Devil's Crush and Drop Off. So all those games have updates which have something to do with that.

Hm. Just tried updating R-Type and it downloaded in a a couple of seconds & appears to have made absolutely no difference to the game. Ah, well.

I had totally forgotten about Galaga 88/90. The original is one of my all time favorites, but I have a soft-spot for these kind of remixes.

I was obviously wrong in my conclusion.

But still though, we'll probably be getting that channel in the next few weeks. I think someone said something about what the parental controls for this update entails. Something about receiving content from other users online (moreso than messages).

In defense of Somnid, I haven't seen him to be a man who misleads. Also those all look like title screen pics which is what they used to always upload anyway (although the res of the SitD pic looks a little strange).

It's blury, but the caption says "Shining in the Darkness" (the sequel to "Shining Force", which is already on the VC).

Shining in the Darkness, the game Sega's been holding out on for the last month.

Again I will reiterate for those who don't understand so there is absolutely no confusion: These games have their shop images uploaded early, they aren't out yet but there is a good chance of seeing them on Monday (no guarantees though).

Such a cocktease. I haven't played Super Metroid for close to a decade.

Also Metroid NES would be handy, the port of Metroid included with Zero Mission is shit.

Who's going to make the official thread? When it comes out I mean. Not now. The title should be something like "The OFFICIAL No GAFer Left Behind Super Metroid Campaign: Time to Turn on your Wii."

You know. Or something.

When the game becomes available Nintendo should automatically deduct eight dollars from every Wii owner's credit card and install Super Metroid on their Wii. You know, in case they didn't know it was out. Actually maybe they should just deduct the money preemptively and then they can make with the game later.

Edit: Or WAIT maybe it was included in the launch price of the Wii! It's like getting Super Metroid for free!

Considering that you already have Metroid I'm pretty sure you're at least getting Super Metroid. Probably before we do. Super Metroid for PAL regions this Friday BELIEVE.

I think you answered your own question.

Or maybe someone's on vacation, but anyway.

Hey Pepsiman: What was wrong with the Zero Mission NES emulator? It was the same solid emulator as the NES Classics games.
