Agree with every word. And yes, more please, Nintendo. Coloris would be lovely.
Bah.
Rotohex is unplayable for those of us with mild color blindness.
Entirely unplayable.
I'm on the first puzzle of the game, and I see green and yellow blocks. I think there MUST be orange ones or something else there, as I keep making hexes that refuse to clear.

It starts out with just green and yellow, but eventually orange is added in. It displays the colors around the playfield, so if you're getting orange and something else mixed up, you should at least note the presence of a third colored hexagon at the sides.DavidDayton said:

Okay. Then there are two colors and either a) I'm dense and playing the game wrong (always possible), or b) I'm not distinguishing the colors as they FALL... only after they are set in place.
Edit: I just double checked -- I can't make out the difference between the green and yellow triangles without concentrating on them for several seconds. If I quickly scan across the screen, they all look like they are the same color -- yellowish. It's only by concentrating that I can distinguish any. Bah... developers need to include color options/whatever for puzzle games.

Last Ninja 1 and 2 are perfect, but you can't use those as a comparison. The C64 had a very long life and Mayhem was released around the end of it. Developers were doing so many weird ass things to push the limits of the machine that it was crazy. Some games even used the old TV displays to their advantage to bleed colours into each other and 'create' colours that the system couldn't actually do. That's just something you can't even emulate no matter how hard you try.
Personally, I won't hold it against the VC emulator that it couldn't do Mayhem that well. It would be nice though if they updated it sometime in the future.
DavidDayton said:
My point being that there are many weird ass tricks that devs used back in those days to make the machine do stuff it was never meant to do. And getting all those working for a particular title would be difficult. While I'm sure mature emulators of today do most if not all of them, I'm not going to be pointing the finger at the VC emulation and say it's not good enough. Because other than Mayhem, everything else works great.
Hopefully however now they have released a game that was very late in the C64s life, they realise their emulator isn't up to par and will update it at some point.

I can't channel too much righteous anger that Earthbound hasn't been released when it hasn't even hit Japan yet (after appearing as a Masterpiece in SSBB no less!). That seems to indicate to me that there are outstanding problems (legal, technical, or other) that has put the game on the backburner. Plus, I still have a perfectly functioning cartridge, so I can enjoy the game whenever I want already.

True... the PSP one was looking pretty interesting, for sure...
(The GBC one never happened. David A. Palmer Productions, ruining both Earthworm Jim and Commander Keen... can I just pretend that those two games never existed?

Yeah, The Lion King was bad on everything.
... I got it for Game Boy back in the mid '90s because I'd loved the movie and didn't know better yet (hey, the NES had had some great licenced Disney games! Why not GB too?). The graphics and sound were great, but play control was miserably bad and annoying and it wasn't that fun... the major-console versions aren't any different.

Of these, the most recent must-haves (since the beginning of September) are Mega Man 2, Shining Force II, and Secret of Mana. Alternatively, sort by date over here since there may be others you'd like.

Ive waited 2 years, fuck them. I'll get NMH2 and Madworld but other than that they aint gettin at my paper stack no more, you dig

Fucking awesome update for Halloween. One great game, two good and more emulation of (relatively) exotic hardware - and it completes the NES/SNES CV entries.

I'd be surprised if we didn't. It seems like the ideal import title for Nintendo to release; simple gameplay and not much text. I'm not sure if it would be worth the 600 point cost, though.

As much as I love Capcom, I have to admit that the Genesis version of Aladdin was superior.
Just as a followup to my earlier exchange about whether Wii Points are lost after switching country setting from US to Canada, I just switched over in the past five minutes and can now say that Canadian was in fact right. No loss of Wii Points in switching between those.
That said, you do have to go through some slightly annoying issues, namely reconfiguring WiiConnect24, re-agreeing to their user agreement, and another screen at the front end of the shop channel asking to confirm the country change. But overall, you can fear nothing if you want to gift to a friend in Canada or vice versa! It does, however, raise the question of why Nintendo bothered to region-lock between these two countries in the first place. :/

YES. Absolutely. As much as I would rather see the Japanese version of the game.
Devil World would be another major 'do want' here in the US.
Japanese PC Engine games for November:
-Nekketsu Koukou Dodge Ball-Bu CD Soccer-hen (CD, November 4th)
-Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu (CD)
-Cadash
-Volfied
Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SuperGrafx) seems to have disappeared.
No games on the EU/AU/US lists yet, so don't count on any TG games for November.

This particular version of Xanadu was always a curious one for me. Not sure if this is the updated one though(which I remember looking awesome in this ancient issue of GameFan). Could be plain jane Xanadu though..hmm. Now that's a rather tough game to get into
The PC-Engine/TG16 port of Cadash is a mixed bag. Unlike the Genesis version this one includes all four playable characters. Unfortunately graphically it's a few steps back. Rather than attempt to make it look close to the arcade version they chose to re-do the graphics. Interesting idea I admit but overall it still doesn't look that great. Also all of the areas are broken up into multiple sections(while the original arcade/gen games are seamless)
Full Japanese list for November:

-Rockman 3 (November 4th)
