  1. No mention of Treasure being the developer of Dynamite Headdy? Or that it's an absolutely fantastic game? For shame!

  2. I let it pass this time, Nintendo, But you better gimmie EarthBound next week!

  3. Will you bother to download any of these games?

    Hell no.
    The overpriced VC only gets my money very rarely, and it is with a quality game classic.

  4. Super Mario RPG please? Come on! I'm actually waiting for it to come out instead of downloading a rom and then getting on the virtual console!

  5. Sure I will. On my computer illegally. Actually, no, they're not even worth that much.
