Yes, either by Credit / Debit card or by pre-paid cards in the shops.

US Releases 12/02/07

Kirby's Adventure - NES - 500 Wii Points

Ice Climber - NES - 500 Wii Points

Kid Icarus - NES - 500 Wii Points

 

[alexbleubolt]

i don't see the point in buying these, if you got a pc, which you obviously have, why not just play them on an emulator, on your pc.

 

[bully]

My pc isnt in my lounge.

Easier to have them in one place.

Im loaded and dont care about spending a few measley quid on some games.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - 1000 points

Ocarina of Time, second greatest game ever made. I'd buy it, if I didn't have the Cube version which plays on the Wii.

[Clart]

isn't this just a huge rip off of xbox live arcade

 

[Rhino172]

almost...but this has actual games that were released on the nes megadrive etc where as xbox live arcarde is mainly new games with a few old school chucked in for fun..

 

[The Hoff]

If you're going down that road then isn't XBL Arcade just a huge rip-off of PC emulation?

 

[Clart]

i mean the whole system of downloading old skool games for points.

 

[Tom]

i mean the whole system of downloading old skool games for points.

Online shops have existed for quite some time now MrClart. :clown:

EU releases 09/03/07

Super Ghouls n' Ghosts - SNES - 800 points
Galaga - NES - 500 points
Double Dungeons - TurboGrafx-16 - 600 points

 

[The Hoff]

For a moment there I thought that said Double Dragon!

 

[gareth3685]

Wished they bring something decent out!

N64 Goldeneye, N64 Diddy Kong Racing, instead of this load of NES rubbish that isn't worth the time of day.

 

[Rasclart]

I thought it said Double Dragon and got a tent

Goldeneye probs wont pop up, as thats made by Rare who Microshaft own now dont they?

 

[KyleB]

yeah it is rasclart, also Activision now have the bond license, so that makes it look even less likely to come out.

Just out of interest Lee, what is the first greatest game for you?
