    Whoa, I wasn't expecting SNES Ogre Battle on VC! I'm totally getting this.


    I really hope this is a sign they will release Ogre Battle 64 for VC. I don't think there's been any other recently released game like OB64.

    @mrbubble: only one game has come close to ogre battle since OB64 -- and that's final fantasy xii!


    barely anyone saw the spiritual connection, though :(

    Id be excited if this was Ogre Battle 64. Ironically if this was the PS re-issue of Black Queen Id scoop it up for $5-6 to play on my PSP.

    Ogre Battle ate so much of my time when I was younger... just so addicting changing classes.


    I might have to resist this purchase in order to reserve my free time.


    Still, can we get this for DS??

    Ogre Battle was such ahead of it's time, It was a shame it never got to be released (like many others) in PAL format. Hope to see it soon on the Euro VC.

    ummm why do people buy these games when you can play them with a emulator on a computer with better graphics for the freebi.....just kidding I know its the right thing to do I guess lol.

    @Ether02: To be honest, I even own most of the VC games on cart form... and they are very overpriced, I reckon 500 points would be the ideal price for a 16bit game. Also, I dont really have much free space on my Wii...


    ...but I still buy and play them. Nintendo, why aren't you returning our devotion?

    @Ether02: I'm a big supporter of emulation, but even I buy the games that I want to support. The $8 you'll be spending on this VC title will send a more direct message than $80 you'd probably spend for the original cart on eBay, so seriously, buy it. Each dollar that goes to the publisher is like a vote that says "I want more of this game."

    WTF at Black Queen. Never played this game before, but I wouldn't be surprised if this game took some heat. At least it wasn't released during black history month.

    Wait, I don't remember this... A crappier version of Sonic 2 came out as some kind of consolation prize for the Master System? Like, after the Genesis had already usurped it? I don't remember this...

    @Comatose Turtle thinks ganguro are dreamy: Well obviously you didn't own a Master System. As mentioned in multiple places here, the Master System Sonic games are not ports, but unique games. This is like complaining that Mega Man 9 is a crappier version of Mega Man ZX or New Super Mario Bros is a crappier version of Super Mario Galaxies.
