Well, I'm over this whole schtic. I'm a diehard Sonic Fan, so I'll probably wind up with Sonic SMS sooner or later, and I now realize that there are a TON of games on the VC that I want, so the new ones simply would've meant that it would take even longer for me to adress the backlog. I'm still disappointed that Samurai Shodown 2 didn't come out, but mainly because it would've meant that I would've broken into two genres on the same day.

Oh, and I got Blastworks last week. I even passed up Battalion Wars 2, which is on my the tip-top of my Wii wishlist, in order to get my hands on it, and it pretty damn great! At least, it is with a friend anyways. You'd be surprised by some of the stuff a group of people can come up with when given the right tools.

Unfortunately, no matter how much imagination I tell myself I have, when given the tools to apply that imagination, the wheels in my head stop turning, and only with the help of another human being can I get those wheels turn again. To be frank, the stuff I created was G-D awful and wholly uninspiring, but with some help from my brother, they became less awful, and less uninspiring.

Mostly though, we just wound up kicking arse in the campain levels. They aren't the best shooter levels I played, heck the levels in the original flash game were better than some of the ones we played, and with only one player, it's unequivocally dull. But one you second player in there, things really pick up and it becomes a blast! Shame the ordinary campaign doesn't have 4-player co-op, but it is nice to see that they left it in the user created levels.

All in all, I'm glad I got it, and I really glad that you got to play it in a party setting, since it really is a party-oriented game.

Wow, that was a lot more than I was intending to write, but I think it was worth it.

I'll try to hold off spending my points until this coming Monday, but my guess is I'll probably wind up picking something from that backlog I mentioned earlier. Until then, I'll be playing games that actually run on a disc :O Astonishing, I know!

@ Adamant:
Yeah I know that the SMS system version is different, the Genesis version is totally better. SML is a totally different game when you REALLY look into it, different styling becauses its not Miyamoto. But honestly, you know I'm right; only the Sonic hardcore will truly buy this game.

@ Mickeymac
Totally thanks for feeling my pain here, that would have been the awesomest B-day ever. Yeah but I had fun we played some other oldschool games like Blastworks (okay that's not oldschool, but every Wii owner should get it! GOLD!!), Ikaruga (the ultimate GC version), Street Fighter Alpha II Gold (Off of the Saturn's Street Fighter Collections...awesome), and some Brawl and the likes. I had fun. Though I totally agree with you on the SMS version of Sonic.

BTW I have no idea about Terranigami or whatever! WHAT IS THAT GAME? Is it that awesome?

@ Lefty Noob, comment #191: You've got a good theory concerning the steak and chicken scenario, so I appreciate that. But in the past, I'd rather get hyped by seeing if a certain game I'd take interest in is on the VC, watching footage of it, understanding what it's about and still deciding to go for it a few days later. I know some people aren't like that at all, but it's just a way of seeing it.

Besides, wouldn't it be nicer if Ys at least got a PEGI/OFLC rating too, so that us outside the Americas won't have to linger in the dark over how it is? ;)

Well that explains it! Too bad it was never released in America, it was pretty damn good! I guess it'll be an import, which adds weight to the idea that it won't be remade, and instead come to the Virtual Console!

That would've been so cool, I can't even fathom how disappointed you must be! I mean, the best VC update of the Year on your birthday! And yet they change it. If it were me, I would have thrown the TV out the window once I saw Sonic SMS and Splatterhouse 2 there instead. I hope after some rest it blows over for ya. Night!

@Adamant

Yes, but it still isn't as fun. Though, Sonic1(Genesis) is my second favorite Sonic game, and I found the level design of the SMS version paled in comparison.
