I played a bit of Gunstar Heroes this morning and enjoyed it. Bit unrelenting though isn't it

Has anyone played Ristar before? Is it any good?

I love the VC

. Picked up Gunstar Heroes and Alien Crush this morning. GH I never had in the day but appears to be excellent Treasure shootiness, and AC me and my mates used to spend entire weekends playing back in the day on my PCE, and it's just as good as it used to be

.

Really nice being able to have favourite old games there on the wii

. My first page of channels is now full up

.

OK, we have Alien Crush, can we have Devil Crash next please?

I see that the PC Engine version of R-Type is out on the 29th December, although as with the original PC-E release it's in two parts (the Hu-Cards didn't have a high enough capacity to take all the data for all eight levels). So the first release ('R-Type I') will have levels 1-4 (the best levels IMHO) and 'R-Type II' will have 5-8).

I'm curious how this will turn out under the VC - I can currently play it on my PC under the excellent Magic Engine emulator or play the original under MAME.

A thought - have Nintendo voiced any thoughts about considering releasing original arcade games within the Virtual Console environment?

I think Nintendo are probably inking lots of VC deals as we speak. Aren't we supposed to be getting some C64 games soon? I'd imagine arcade emulations won't be far behind.

Excellent. VC has bags of potential and it's nice to see that Nintendo are really supporting it well.

Now if only I had a Wii ...............

There are plans for original games on VC too. I haven't heard of any such games yet though.

I didn't realise that, I'd assumed that the VC was only for emulating games hardware.

I've noticed Gottlieb Pinball Classics is out today, since there should be a few pin-heads around these parts, anyone tried it yet?

Cool! Unirally is excellent. I would love to see a new version using the WiiMote as controller for the tricks and stuff.

I read this as Urinally, which, on the Wii, sounds like it's right at home.

I couldn't find anywhere in Middlesbrough today that had new Wii games.
