Take this as a rumor for now I guess. This might be an early screen of Jackal Rebirth.
 Here's a screen from the arcade version of Jackal for comparison:  Images were found on Eric Testroete's personal website (he's the guy who made the papercraft big head). http://testroete.com/index.php?location=undisclosed It's labeled as an undisclosed Wii project. There are more images at his site. I know he's a GAFer, I hope this doesn't get him in trouble. |

Going by the screen shots, it seems to by styled after SIE2, which is a good thing (Faster paced and saving if you die against a boss  )It's only 500 points though, so it'll probably be shorter than the first two games :( |

Ok, so I’m a big fan of VC games, and I was wondering if any third party vendor or hacker made any classic controllers that are Genesis pads. I know that there was a SNES classic controller for Japan, but there is nothing out there for Genesis/NES/N64. I know that there are adapters out there that can let you plug an older system controller into the GC port, but I would specifically like something that plugs into the Wii remote, thereby making it semi-wireless.
I’ve even thought about posting a thread here asking for someone to quote me a price to engineer something like this, because money really isn’t an issue. It just sucks that I would pay good money to buy something and it just simply doesn’t exist. Can anyone help me out here? |

ESRB update:
Oscar in Movieland Virtual Playground Everyone No Descriptors Nintendo DSi Lead The Meerkats Platform: Wii Rating: Everyone 10+ Content descriptors: Animated Blood, Mild Violence Rating summary: This is a strategy game in which players help a meerkat form a new colony in the African Savanna. Players issue commands to their meerkats and watch as they burrow networks in the sand, hunt and forage for food/prey, and protect the colony against predators. Combat with hostile predators (cobras, jackals, eagles, etc.) involves surrounding the larger animal, then clawing and biting until it falls to the ground. When meerkats attack small prey (scorpions, spiders, beetles, etc.), tiny splashes of green blood sprinkle out of the insects. Furry Legends Platform: Wii Rating: Everyone Content descriptors: Comic Mischief, Mild Language Rating summary: This is a platformer game in which players guide a small "fluff ball" character through colorful levels. Players hop and roll through the 2D landscapes, solve environmental puzzles, and avoid hazards along the way—spiked balls, spinning blades, stone-block enemies, etc. If players run into an enemy or hazard, they squeal in pain and burst into a cloud of green fuzz. Characters sometimes use the expletive "hell" and may engage in a play on words (e.g., "What the fluff are you doing here?" and "I am a mushroom for fluff sake!"). [italics added] Additionally, Rayman Advance (GBA) has been re-rated. Perhaps the DSiWare game is a conversion or port of it? |

I'm in the mood for the arcade version of Ghost's 'n' Goblins. I used to play it a lot BITD and am having nostalgic memnants* of the puking guys in some dungeon/tower level. Considering that the NES version is already up there, but VC has seen multiple versions of other games, I wonder how likely Capcom is to give us the arcade version too.

So when is SNK going to start releasing some of their other games as well? I mean it’s all good we are seeing their fighting games from the Neo Geo, but I would like to see them expand a bit. Mainly I am still hoping for Crystalis. I don’t even think it’s been ESRB rated.

Oh yeah totally forgot about the Data East Collection.
15 games for $20 ain't a bad deal. Especially when said games will be ported by M2 and include a host of extras. It would be way cool if Crossed Swords 2 got a VC release. Actually nevermind SNK forget I brought it up. You'll just leave it in Japan for whatever reason and I'll cry. |

bought "Bomberman" and "Uno"(Wiiware)
Bomberman is highly recommended. It just feels good(gameplay wise), like the SNES ones, and graphics are also perfect(no 2,5D crap). for 500 points a no brainer UNO is a steal IMO. It's just 500 points, full online mode, Mii support and voice chat. must get (if you are into UNO). can't wait for the DSiware version |

DISCLAIMER: I was the lead on Carnival King
Carnival King got reviewed this week by Nintendo Life (7.0) and IGN (6.5). The writeup on Nintendo Life seems fair, and I think IGN didn't really spend much time with the title. But hey - it's nice to get coverage. It's also currently at #14 in the top 20 WiiWare "Popular Downloads". Yay. |
