| Welcome back, only 2 new games in Japan @ 08.01.08 One of them isn't really new, we got it already: Samurai-Ghost for PC Engine. The other one is an old beat'em up classic by Konami: Yie-Ar Kung Fu for the Famicom. |

| Three new games in Japan this week. ( 15.01.08 ) 1080° Snowboarding (N64) - This is one for the cold days. It's not only the first snowboard game on the VC, it's also the best: controls, graphics, course design and challenge, stunt mode and 2-player splitscreen. If you wait for a better snowboard game, you will wait many winters. Adventure Island (NES) - The US already has this classic platformer. Monster World IV (MD) - Just want to inform you, this good-looking platformer-RPG is out as well. But let the Wonder Boy maniacs on this forum clear up which part of the series it really is... |

| Only 1 new game in Japan this week. ( 22.01.08 ) I hope I'm not missing something.... It is Devil World for the NES. Originally only released in Japan and Europe. An overlooked arcade game in the vein of Pac-Man. Pick up the cross, so you can collect the dots. The screen moves in all directions, so be careful not to be crushed by the walls. So, if you want a Pac-Man game, that's not too repetitive and has more to offer than just the same level over and over again, get Devil World. 22.01.08 Devil World 1984-2008 (Nintendo) http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/vc/vc_dw/index.html DEVIL WORLD video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5zpk0FVXVI On a side note: Your main character, the little dinosaur TAMAGON is a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. The main enemy, the DEMON, makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve4WMGzHeeU Last edited by SKTTR; 26th January 2008 at 10:41 PM. |

So, Adventures of Lolo and Super Street Fighter II leave the Japanese exclusive list and join the western releases, at least in the US for now. Reminding newcomers (and Japanese VC fans) to watch page 1 of this topic as it's always updated with the latest news. Last edited by SKTTR; 26th January 2008 at 10:13 PM. | ||||||

I'm interested in trading them for US points or selling them... maybe with some discount involved... PM me, or reply on my thread: http://www.vc-forums.com/japanese-wi...abs-t5458.html thanks!

It is a westernized conversion (including changes to all of the sprites and backgrounds) of the Japanese arcade game Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (熱血硬派くにおくん? which roughly translates to "Hot Blood Tough Guy Kunio-kun"), released earlier the same year by Technos. It is an immediate technological predecessor to Double Dragon, and Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun is the inaugural game in the Kunio-kun series (which includes Super Dodge Ball and River City Ransom). Watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ceTaTyN_QLQ Fun little brawler. 3 Stars TG Panic Bomber (1994) Hudson http://vc-pce.com/jpn/j/title/panibom.html Another unique Tetris-style puzzle game for crazy combo-fanatics.

| No idea if it's true but I found this on another forum that said IGN said Super Mario RPG is coming to the Japanese VC. Doubt it's true though. IGN: Super Mario RPG Goes Virtual in Japan Square and Nintendo tie-up hits Virtual Console this month. by John Tanaka May 30, 2008 - June looks like it's going to be another packed month for Virtual Console fans over in Japan. Nintendo announced today the lineup for the coming month, and leading it off are such big RPG hits as Super Mario RPG and Phantasy Star 4. In all, the June lineup has fourteen titles. Here's the full list. Unless otherwise noted, all games are set for an undisclosed point this month. Famicom (NES) Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa (Konami, June 3, 500 WiiPoints) Transformers Convoy no Nazo (Taraka Tomy, 500) Chou Nekketsu Dodge Ball (Arc System Works, 500) Yoshi's Cookie (Nintendo, 500) Super Famicom (SNES) Super Mario RPG (Nintendo, 900) Master System Asyura (Sega, June 3, 500) Mega Drive (Genesis) Phantasy Star IV (Sega, 700) PC Engine (Turbo Grafx) Power Tennis (Hudson, June 3, 600) Lords of Thunder (Hudson, 800) Paranoia (Naxat Soft, 600) Blazing Lasers (Hudson, 600) Neo Geo King of the Monsters (D4, June 4, 900) Ninja Commando (D4, 900) Art of Fighting 2 (D4, 900)
