How is pulling their legacy games a good idea if they're hurting financially? You'd think that's where most of the income comes from. Does it cost money to keep games on the service or something?

Maybe they want to sell the IPs so they put off from the DD services until a new owner buy them.

I just bought R-Type III. I must have overlooked the "doesn't support Component Interlace mode" message in the description, because all I get is a black screen and the Z+A+2 method isn't working. So, basically I'm screwed if I don't use composite cables?

Yup, i get the same problem with Golden Axe and Street Of Rage. Shit like this (and the whole 50htz PAL stuff) is why I never bothered much with the VC, very lazy service.

It's Irem again, are they going out of business? If so how come they have a 3DS retail game planned?

They functionally went under after the Tsunami, cancelled all in-progress games, and all of the named staff members have moved on. The Irem space in PlayStation Home was closed down, a number of their licensed titles on many systems all got pulled, and they haven't announced a new game or any development since. They're gone.

Does it at leadt work in progressive scan through component?
Haven't bothered with the game 'cause I can't really stand to play a shooter at 50hz and i played a shitton of my ntsc copy back in the day, but at least it doesn't have the huuuge black borders right? At least most SNES games got a decent PAL conversion on VC, wish it was that way with Neo-Geo gMes as well (or most MD ones), they even go as far as crippling japanese imports on purpose wtf

I'm curious if they're going to shit up on the upcoming SF2CE Megadrive on PAL VC after going the extra step of adding online multi, that'd be the most idiotic thing ever.
Thank god for the TG16 games.

Europe gets NES Metroid this week. I hope that means Ambassadors can update to have the swanky new NES icon for this now.

Still no sign of VVVVVV or Mutant Mudds, though.

That's great news if it means we'll get more eshop demos later. I might actually buy the Rolling Western game if I can try it out and get a feel for what it plays like. I just hope Nintendo gets over their irrational fear of demos and we actually start seeing demos being put up at a reasonable rate instead of ~1 every 2 weeks.

Ok. Just got a $20 card for my birthday. I have Pushmo, VVVVVV, Zen Pinball, and Mighty Switch Force.

I'm pretty sure I want Mutant Mudds, should I go with Dillion or Sakura Samurai with it?

Can't wait to finally properly play the last 'old' Sonic game on my list, I own it several times over already lol but because it was the only one I didn't have back then I just never ended up playing it properly.

My first Sega was a Master System so I sorta started with the 8bit Sonics, they hold a special place in my heart because of that. Obviously the Mega Drive ones blew my mind once I got one and were always the real Sonic games, but 8bit has its own charm to me. :)

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
So am I reading this right: the DE store will be down on the 20th, 16:00 through 23:00 GMT?
