Since many of us are not familiar with the greater variety of titles that make up generations past, I feel a thread like this will be valuable to the forum allowing us to look over the new the releases week to week on the virtual console and discuss them. Members familiar with the said games can give unfamiliar members a heads up on what these titles are about and whether or not we might be interested in them.

We can also talk about what future games and hardware we hope to see debut and make our own predictions of what titles we could see in the future, near or distant. That said, let the thread commence:

--------

--Week of October 15: USA releases

Turbografx 16 (CD): Gate of Thunder

SNES: Metal Marines                         

NES: Ninja Gaiden II                          

--------------

--Week of October 16: Japan Releases

NEO-GEO: Samurai Showdown                 (Samurai Spirits)  

TurboGrafx 16 (CD): YS I & II

Genesis: Sonic 3D Blast

SNES: Juusou Kihei Valken

So vets, what say you about this weeks editions? Ya or nay?

I was waiting for ninja gaiden for soo long. I will definetly be getting it, but is it available for europe or only the US. It would be good if you put up information on where it is released.

Those are for North America.

Also, Gate of Thunder is TG16-CD, which is mildly relevant.

D'oh

Also, this is pretty much being discussed here:

This thread is more of a formal approach, if members feel it is unecessary, it will fall into disuse and such will be its fate. In the mean time, let's humor the cause.

Also if anyone wants to put up the Japan and other VC releases or tell me what games they are for my update I would be glad to include them.

Wow, Metal Marines, I remember that one. It sucked.

The good one this week seems to be Samurai Shodown.

YS = sold
