Most people value VC games more than WiiWare games.
Especially when our WiiWare games are composed of My Pokemon Ranch, Critter Round-Up, Protothea, Table Tennis, Blackjack, etc.

The only WiiWare games you're missing out on are Defend Your Castle, and Gyrostarr for some. Besides that, there's nothing else worth downloading.

You tend to get more WiiWare games.

@ Rexy- We're all being treated the same?
We get 1-2 VC games a week, and you just said that Europe gets 2-3.
2-3 > 1-2
What's your definition of the "same"? :P

Correction - we get 5 or 6 games each fortnight, which amounts to 2-3 VC games each week. We aren't being spoilt - you're just overexaggerating the issue; we are all being treated the same.

Why does Europe get like 5 or 6 games each week, while we only get like 1 game (2 if we're lucky) and 3 WiiWare games that nobody cares about. Nintendo of Europe is basically spoiling their Wii owners while Nintendo of America is belittling us with only 1 or 2 VC games and 3 or 4 WiiWare games that nobody cares about, although I guess the Europeans have been spoiled way long before video games were even invented. I mean why do we only get 1-2 VC games a week; it would be a totally different story if half of the VC games we got were actually good choices, anyone else agree with me? I think if we're not going to get like 5-6 VC games a week then either release better games or add C64 or MSX support for the US.

@ Demon212- Yoshi isn't old enough to own a car. So I'll speak for him, and reject your offer.

I've downloaded Cybernoid and so far its been the first c64 title I'm regretting. The game isn't hard its just irritatingly unfair. Collision detection is poor and at points you have no alternative but to die and start again if you've already used the shield. The music seems annoying without any sound effects. So far the most fun I've had with it was somehow resetting it to the blue C64 startup screen. I'll give it a chance but consider Uridium, Nebulos and Impossible Mission to all be far superior purchases so far

@Paper Yoshi: I should have stated that that was the general consensus concerning American gaming, not everyone involved in it. Don't worry, it was just an assumption from seeing how they make their investments around here o_O
(And yes, I second Demon212's statement concerning gas prices around here too!)

the C64 had NOTHING that could compare to the awesome sauce that is the SMRPG.

Personally, I disagree. I already stated that SMRPG was nothing more than a beginner's RPG, which in affect seems pale in comparison to trying out some of the cream of the crop of the C64. But I don't want to go through THAT talk again.

I do understand that you guys in America deem to be spoilt though, but do remember that America isn't the ONLY English speaking country in the world. The way you percepted the standard American's taste in gaming is making me think that you guys are a lot more casual and laid back than the rest of the English speaking world, those traits usually raising eyebrows elsewhere.

Either way, I didn't know that Cybernoid came out on the NES so thanks for the heads up.

@Quimby.

No, ;) lol.

Never played SMRPG, but I bet I've played IK+ more than the time it'll take me to beat SMRPG.

So I'd rather have the C64 games for now.

I got a Super Fantasy Zone cart a few months ago, the Master System FZ feels fresher but it´s a good game anyway. Cybernoid looks like a fun game.

"the C64 had NOTHING that could compare to the awesome sauce that is the SMRPG."

Yeah, I'd be happy to give the C64 a shot . . . after I'd given hundreds of other things (including what I've both have and haven't played) a go.

@ Anyone who's unaware..... especially Rexy for the "Were there any moaners continuously bickering about the state of SMRPG's release? Yes. For Cybernoid? No. Why? Because apparently those that remember the Commodore 64 are more patient and mild mannered." comment.... :p

Cybernoid was also released for the NES, both the C64 and NES versions found their way to the states. OK game, but in the USA it was considered a "must rent" on the NES and a "must check out from the library" title for the C64.

In the end, the major reason we "Yanks" whine so much is that we're spoiled. We want everything because we're too used to getting it. Which is also why the C64 isn't memorable here..... At the same time it was available, so were many other home computers with the same or better features at the same or (more often) lower price point.

So yeah, we whine about the SMRPG, but seriously..... IMHO, aside from the Lord of the Rings game, the C64 had NOTHING that could compare to the awesome sauce that is the SMRPG.

@ Rapidash6 (quite a while ago in the convo)
Everyone gets a good deal here according to you, but what about us Aussies? We get the exact same releases as Europe, without the C64 games... So are we allowed to bitch?
