ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS!!

Buy 5 copies each so they bring back this series, k please?
Thanks.



Best old school co-op game... ever.


p.s. Link below (the poster, not the uh, URL) also said this:

Sega also sent out a press release earlier today announcing Sword of Vermilion, Vectorman, Sonic Spinball, and Beyond Oasis will soon be available.

But don't let that detract you from the amazingness of the ZAMN news.

Castlevania!

I might buy Turtles just to make fun of it.

[Sweedishrodeo]

gradius 3


CHA CHINGGGGGG

CASTLES ATE MY VANIA!

CASTLES ATE MY VANIA!

Maybe now I can finally beat CV... what an asshole game.

[PkunkFury]

wow, Konami with the support. Perhaps since it has been a good 12 years or so, I am finally ready to beat the first Ninja Turtles. Wish me luck

[MadraptorMan]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors is an AWESOME game, I have it for Genesis.

You would need the ring of power to complete that task.

[PkunkFury]

Anyone know how liscensing will effect these vC gmaes in the future? i.e., if Konami loses the TMNT liscense, will TMNT be pulled from the VC? and if so, would you be able to redownload it had you already purchased it?

[TheIkariWarrior]

I'll support Sega for Sword of Vermilion.

I do hope though, that Sega offers Herzog Zwei (aka the best Genesis game ever made, aka Genesis CRACK, the first RTS game of any significance, made well before Command & Conquer and Dune II) and I hope it happens very soon.

Hudson offered it's wonderful turn-based Military Madness,
so IMO Sega needs to bring its RTS rival to VC.

[maynerd]

All of those are coming out next week?!?

I do hope though, that Sega offers Herzog Zwei, and very soon.

YES PLEASE!

[jarrod]

Everyone needs to pick up Beyond Oasis. Amazing game, and a steal at just $8.

[jvalioli]

All of those are coming out next week?!?

No, I think those are just games that have appeared on the ESRB website.

[levious]

who holds the rights to Technosoft's games?

[NintendosBooger]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 was a terrible game, especially compared to Turtles in Time. I'll wait for the latter.

[zallaaa]

NOOOOOO! I wanted Simon's Quest!!! T_T

the reason that's in interesting question is because i don't think they DO have the license anymore. isn't it ubisoft who hold that nowadays?

[Y2Kev]

Was Vectorman any good?

Well - Ubisoft is publishing the new TMNT game. So, it would appear that it does not affect the old games.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A PREFERENCE.

[PkunkFury]

well that could be good news We'll have to wait and see how other liscensed titles play out I guees. I really hope some of Capcom's Disney stuff sees release

[FFantasyFX]

All of those are coming out next week?!?

No, not even close. The earliest any of these would come out would be in March. All of them will probably be out by August, I would imagine.

Also, the Australian videogame ratings board has re-rated Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the SNES, so the Konami love is indeed strong.

Oh ok...my wallet was about to explode.

what the? thats my surname...

[zallaaa]

WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A PREFERENCE.

OMG to the music! Do you remember it? BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!

[brandonh83]

NOOOOOO! I wanted Simon's Quest!!! T_T

I'd take that and Castlevania 3 over the first one.

[Mar_]

Any Aussies able to confirm todays releases?

[Ristamar]

Everyone needs to pick up Beyond Oasis. Amazing game, and a steal at just $8.

Tell me more...

[Dr. Strangelove]

I second this. Great game.

I could never pass the level with the giant baby :(

Fixed

[AdamBot]

Hey Capcom, Square, SNK, etc. See what Konami is doing here? It's very very good... and is also going to make them a lot of money for very minimal investment. You should follow their example and flood the VC with classics. That is all, thanks.

[Akia]

OMG VECTORMAN!

[brandonh83]

OMG VECTORMAN!

That's what I'm thinking.

[Jive Turkey]

This is hot hot hot!

And I second the call for Herzog Zwei. Some friends in my neighborhood had it and it looked seriously fun but they were dicks and never let me play. :(

[StrikerObi]

TMNT being put on VC paves the way for TMNT4: Turtles in Time!!!

[Brandon F]

I wonder how Beyond Oasis holds up? It's been a millenia since I last played it.

Also, where is General ****ING Chaos? 360 XBLA definitive version bound I hope!

[AirBrian]

**** the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. Give me TMNT 2, please!

[HyperZone<3]

retail or VC, I guess we'll find out.

[Tiktaalik]

Virtual Console is definitely getting the creme of the crop emulation wise. Now people just have to start announcing new games for it.

[Error]

virtual console is really starting to look awesome.

Sega also sent out a press release earlier today announcing Sword of Vermilion, Vectorman, Sonic Spinball, and Beyond Oasis will soon be available.

oh I remember ethel pimping that game, hmmm.

[Flakster99]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors... multi player goodness AND Gradius III. Oh yeeeeeaaaaah!

[bluemax]

I will buy ZAMN for multiplayer goodness. That's my rule on VC games. No multiplayer, no sale.

[Deku]

Zombies ate my Neighbors :) Nice to see Konami's non Hudson support strengthen.

[Jiggy]

Can't wait for Zombies--or Legend of the Mystical Ninja, lest I forget. I'd probably get Vectorman too, but when I think about the existence of the Genesis Collection, I just can't justify it. (Same reason I didn't pick up Sonic or Ecco, really.)

[XiaNaphryz]

ZAMN was a LucasArts game wasn't it, just published by Konami?

[Seth C]

Tell me more...

Just one of the best action RPGs of, well...EVER. Darn pretty for a Genesis game, too.
