@ Rexy: I guess I have to explain my point again being that you and 7th lutz can't understand me clear enough. I'm just saying that nintendo should start getting some more nintendo classics instead of non-nintendo classics.
@ Tony and Rapadash6: thank you for backing me up against Rexy.

Yes, England has only 1 time zone. It's usually the bigger countries like America and (I think) Russia that have more than 1

I am not biting. I will wait for the SNK collection. Actually I just picked up Metal Slug 3 for the Xbox. I don't know when the VC will get around to it.

The thread and rants and complaints will resume on Monday

Rexy has an excellent point about people waiting for certain games being constantly set up for failure... Actually, everyone has made excellent points... Time to kill the thread...

I'm happy to wait as well. Those are just realistic guesses based on what Europe hasn't got yet and what has been announced

Phantasy Star IV will be excellent, but I'm not holding my breath on it. Whichever, I'll be happy to wait patiently for tonight's releases.

Good deal you got there Bass X0. I recently got 5 New DS Games, a Freeloader and the GC Custom Robo, alongside an Action Replay Max for £40. Those will keep me busy while waiting for games on the VC I want.

I predict that tomorrow (this is just a game, you just guess what you think the next releases will be for fun) , out of all the games confirmed for release, Europe will get Uniracers, Dig Dug, Phantasy Star IV, Art of Fighting 2 and Chase H.Q

I think the games are to please people who just want one game but don't want to pay for the full collection - I've bought Samurai Shodown and King of Fighters '94 the day they were put up here despite knowing there would be the collection many months later; I just didn't want to wait. But then I got myself Metal Slug Collection on PS2 for £2 last week (was £4 but got a half price deal on it). Bargain. I think D4 decides what NeoGeo games they want to put up on VC - whereas Nintendo doesn't want to put up All Stars because of the NES games, D4 doesn't seem to mind putting up games that will soon be available on a collection.

Maybe Nintendo's plan right now is to release a single game from the NeoGeo classics collection every week in order to get a leg up in sales on the VC before it releases (which many other people here think), If I'm right, It'll probably be a while before we see this trend change. There are still 5 games left on the collection not yet on VC. They are:

Sengoku
Neo Turf Masters
Shock Troopers
Last Resort
Super Sidekicks 3

If that IS Nintendo's plan, to catch up to the Collection, why don't they just release the games in 2s or 3s, and save us complainers the constant disappointment and`... complaining fuel?

After all, Rexy made a good point earlier. the problem is less a lack of GOOD games, but a lack of games period.

"I'm not buying games that I don't want to play just to keep the service going,"

Certainly not. And of course, if someone actually did something like that it wouldn't exactly send the suppliers the right info about the demand, anyway.

Nintendo deserves credit where it's due, and after that, power to the complainers. ;)

"The only thing that worries me a little is that, with all the people going from frustrated to complacent and burnt out, someone at Nintendo is going to think something like "well, almost nobody's downloading the one game we release every week anymore so maybe we should give up on the market." Like, minus feedback, some moron might conclude that people just don't care anymore and that it doesn't have something to do with the real reasons why they are losing interest."

I've thought the same thing, but if that happens, so be it. I'm not buying games that I don't want to play just to keep the service going,

Oh well. At least we still have Captain Rainbow to look forward to. ;)

I had this game on the Megadrive back in the day and it was fun (albeit a button basher) so I might buy this version too.

Personally, therefore, I'm totally on the side of the complainers. I don't think Nintendo is going to get their feelings hurt so badly by all of it that they would punish their fan base at their own expense. :P

Somebody wrote NOA and I'm trying to figure out how to do it myself. Yes, there are better things to do in life, but I personally enjoy the exercise.

I don't want Mario RPG, but that's not the point. What IS the point though, and it's been echoed throughout, is that we need more quantity. Those that are just hanging around the VC waiting for something in particular are just setting themselves up to be constantly disappointed, and that kind of attitude is disappointing me too.

@Madmanonfire

I'm personally not one of those who is expecting specific titles like SMRPG right away but more that the releases are steady. Obviously I'd LOVE to go to the shop channel right now and download that game, but my anger is more that Nintendo has flat out broken the promise of at least 10 games a month. If we do indeed only get 4 games this month, it'll mean a much longer wait for the games that we DO want, Super Mario RPG included. It's the lack of variety that's the real issue here.

They can release whatever they want, for all I care... after they release SMRPG. It's a crime, making us wait so long for that fantastic game.

I hope they do balance it out more because I am such a fan of the 16-bit platforms. (SNES and Genesis)
