Still no NeoGeo titles announced? I expected Japan to have some soon. I hope they are not too far away. There's only F-Zero X I want from that list, a few others I may try but I don't know if I will.

Magic Drop? Ooh. It's good to see some proper puzzle games turning up.

Ah, Hybrid Front.. I wish they'd translate that one.
Magical Drop doesn't even need a translation, just release it!

N64 games have been released almost simutaneously around the world in the past (its certainly true for the existing four released in Europe and the U.S.) so I say F-Zero X should be released very soon.

And can I also say a big "EWW!" about the number of points MSX games cost to download? 800 points!!! I can't see anybody downloading these games for that price. Except maybe the original Metal Gear but thats only because of the name.

Does anyone think there's any chance of them releasing Paper Mario in the UK? Don't think we got it on N64.
