Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2008

Not many interesting games in that list that I know of.

Does Custom Robo 2 have much Japanese text?

Not that interesting. Sure, Master System is cool to have and Black Belt is decent but not much more is worth it. At least Custom Robot looks interesting. Maybe wel'll get it here as well.

More releases than they had last month. Hopefully it'll be the same everywhere else too. I'm getting pretty tired of only having two choices every week.

The only title on that list that I'd be interested in is Neo Nectaris. Can't beat a good and challenging strategy game.

I certainly hope the Master System makes its way to our North American shores.

Tantei Jinguuji Saburo: Yokohama Minato Renzoku Satsujin Jiken?

Never heard of it. Anyone care to explain it to me?

Why did the Neo Geo even get put on when it's getting so little support? It seems a shame though......aren't there many arcade games on that system?

Tantei Jinguuji Saburo is a relatively popular graphic adventure series that's made it's way across several consoles over many years. There are over 10 games in the series so far, and the recent Tantei Jinguuji Saburo DS: Inishie no Kioku has been announced for an American release, as the first in the series, under the name "Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles". Check it out if you're interested, it's a cool little series, somewhat comparable to Phoenix Wright.

I hope we'll get Custom Robo 2 for the next Hannabi Festival, although maybe there are better N64 titles that could be released in Europe...

Ooh! Another strategy game! Hope that comes to European shores... I loved Military Madness and am craving Metal Marines too... Does anyone know if Neo Nectaris is any good?

Neo Nectaris is, obviously, the sequel to Nectaris (Military Madness), so I assume you'll like it if you liked the prequel.

Do Re Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken, Custom Robo V2, and possibly Neo Nectaris, you're on my list!

I'll be downloading Custom Robo V2 next month then, I loved Custom Robo Arena

I've heard Gleylancer is fantastic as well.

Why can't Nintendo release a list for NA & EU too? What makes the Japanese so special?

The fact they don't complain like you do.

Honestly, I have no idea why. Maybe America, Europe, and Australia choose their games the day before the Shop Channel updates to give off some sort of an ominous air.

I have to say I'm really happy about this. Theres a real nostalgia factor for me because the Master system was my first ever console

Neo Nectaris sequel to the great strategy game Nectaris(Military Madness)

Holy crap, why do the Japs get like 9999 games every week, we (EU) only get a max of 2! Seriously, i think its time Ninty and the relating companies pulled their fingers out of their back sides.

That is some fanart from some website, I forget which. I do know that NGamer gave it away as a poster in an issue a few months ago.

And Wedge, that list works out to about three a week for four weeks. What we used to have.

Just four games to go until the 200th U.S. game. It'll be something on the coming soon list I reckon. It won't be Majora's Mask.

@Bass X0: We can hope that it'll be Majora's Mask. They gave us Zelda 2 for our 100th game. Why not another Zelda game for our 200th?

Its not even on the radar yet. i'm saying there is a very good chance it won't be Majora's Mask. So don't go thinking its going to be definitely MM otherwise you're likely to be disappointed.
