In-freak'n-credible... Smilie I simply cannot believe the sheer amount of quality content they're cramming into this epic game! Smilie I can't see this game getting anything short of a perfect score the world over. Smilie

Chance favors the prepared mind.

OMG GIGANTIC WASTE OF DISC SPACE!

A fail so epic, it may just be a win.

But once purchased, can you play the full game in Brawl?
Seeing as how you need to use the Shop channel to buy them, I'm thinking that full VC titles will only be accessible through the home screen, which if true, will be kind of an unfortunate pain in the ass.

An odd thought hit me: imagine explaining a concept like that to your grandfather...

I wonder what demo will be available for Snake.Smilie

It should be the MSX version of Metal Gear. Much better then than the NES game. Will this mean that MSX games are finally being put on the VC after a year since they announced it?Smilie

Blatant advertising, but quite a nice idea. Smilie
If this doesn't shift some VC games then nothing will.

It's nice to show a little history of the characters and also help you decide your next VC purchase.
I figure a lot of people haven't heard of Kid Icarus and never played Ice Climbers and such.

seriously though, it's NOT a waste, it's improving on pefection(give or take)! Games like super mario bros. are absolute gems, and i think its fantastic that they're including those games on brawl. Smilie

You misunderstand me good sir, i have plenty of classics. so far my collection of VC consists of: Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros. 1- 2:lost levels- and 3, Super Mario World, Pokemon snap, and Sonic the hedgehog 2.

i love me some old games.

but I pay for BRAWL. i dont need these, they should have put those on the Wii Ware instead of shoving them on Brawls space.

A fail so epic, it may just be a win.

Apparantly the disc is double layered or something. So it'll have lots of space Smilie

Either that or they traded 20 characters for extra space for masterpieces :3

I doubt it would be double layered, or else the game would be more than standered Wii games cost. that being said, the Dojo does have the MSRP suggested retail price as TBD...
