knowing that these games were all remade 20 times over (FF, F2, FF3, FF Special, kof games, etc) it’s safe to say that these are pretty worthless wastes of Wii memory. Couple in the fact that later versions of these games (and Samurai Showdown in particular) had totally broken combo systems and you’re much better off playing other fighters like SF, GG, etc. If you MUST, wait until the latter versions arrive, for the exact same price, or buy a compilation disc for another system if you’ve got it already.

Or just get Last Blade when/if it comes out.

Anyone download one of these? How many blocks of memory do they consume?

Great. 3 More games that no one really wants. Why do we get three games while Japan gets five?

Nice to see it’s not a lie but… how about releasing the games people actually WANT?

$9 is a fair price considering the cost of the actual cartridges and the original machines, but not when it’s these ugly games. They gotta hurry up with Samurai Showdown and KoF (and despite metal slug being available in the anthology, they might milk that too).

People expecting King of Fighters, expect a long wait. I don’t see them releasing that game for quite some time since they can just milk that franchise on the retail market instead of the VC. I might say the same with Samurai Shodown as well.

I’m no Nintendo or Wii apologist by any means, but saying all the VC releases have been “crummy” is silly. If you think all of them have been crummy, then I guess you never liked any past video games period. And especially saying it the week after they put Sin and Punishment and the real Super Mario Bros. 2 on the VC. Sure, I think some of the prices are too much, but it is what it is. And at least I don’t have to blow on my Wii to get any of the NES games to work.

Another week of lame VC titles. I’m really starting to consider selling my Wii, since the reason I wanted it was to play VC games, but all Nintendo ever does is release crummy titles each week. >_

Sweet, some fighting game greatness on the VC!

However, there is no reason to even contemplate if the Neo-Geo games are ” worth the price” when clearly ALL the VC titles are over priced, and really, its our OWN fault here.

ALL VC games are overpriced and it in NOT just the big N’s ” fault” If we all just did NOT buy them at the start, for a month or so, they would have DROPPED the prices. But because we DID buy them, they saw no need to not rip us off. =(
Considering how easy it would be for gamers to download these ROMs for free, it was U S who hepled to maintain the slightly high price for these ROM’S in the first place…
