Starting to look that way isn't it. They didn't even release the original smash brothers after it came out. Maybe when Wiiware comes out, they'll just release the rest of the good games their holding on to. I really don't think many people will have the time to check the updates for both and they really want Wiiware to succeed. We can only hope though.

I really hate people that bitch and moan like this.
Firstly: Yeah there were a lot of good games for those old systems. But think about how many great, memorable games come out every year for any particular console. Maybe 3-5, more if you're lucky but less in the old days. So you've got six consoles with a collective life-cycle of about 25 years. That adds up to 75-125 really worthwhile games. Even after factoring in all the decent games and cult classics, Nintendo is releasing 2 games a week, and for a while it was 3. That's more than 100 games per year, and they want this service to last at least the Wii's life cycle. So how can you expect not to see mediocre titles.
And secondably: Fantasy Zone is awesome, so stfu.

Another week, another load of trash. In a suprising move,[I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!] they managed to find another lot of games no one has ever heard of and I doubt many actually want. C'mon Japan, where are these GOOD games?
I understand they kinda have to ration out the good games through the life of the system, but shouldn't they have a license for being that terrible?

GAH! When I first saw the post in my RSS reader, I saw "VC Monday Madness: Fantasy Zone and Mega..." I thought it was gonna be megaman and I freaked out! Then, upon loading, my utter disappointment sank in...

Fantasy Zone's not bad, it's just the Master System version's not worth the 500 they are asking for it.

Fantasy Zone... I remember that game being brutally hard. Of course, I was a lot younger and less experienced back then. Reaching way back into my horrible memory I recall never getting past the second or third level. :P

I would get Mega Turrcan, but I already have Super Turrican.
I'd buy Fantasy Zone, but I'd rather wait for the Genesis version...

At least they didnt bother releasing Tetris Attack or Super Mario Kart. Now those are two games nobody would ever want to buy.

What are you talking about!? Tetris Attack is probably the best game ever! Everyone would want to buy....
Wait a minute, I see what you did there.

Mega Turrican. The bastard child of the series (along with its twin Super Turrican).
I might get it but I'd much rather have Turrican I and II, and not the C64 versions. Amiga would be nice but it's not on the VC!
