Too bad! I already bought all the games I wanted from that list... I suppose I can't call for a refund? ;-)

I might have to pick up ToeJam & Earl. My brother and I used to play the hell out of that game way back in the day.

Perhaps they release sonic & knuckles right after this sale ? Would be a good move from sega / nintendo to get more people buy it... One can only hope...

i know i'll sound like a jerk, but out of the ones you mentioned, only symphony of the night and panzer dragoon (yay for shmups :P) would be considered as possible downloads.

damn, just thought about that, haha. hopefully the next nintendo console will have a bigger hard drive and will feature saturn on its vc, heck who knows it may also include dreamcast and gc games too. as i doubt they would discontinue vc in their next console seeing as how they are profiting from just porting games.

Too bad the Wii never got that Sega Collection because they could make more money on the VC selling them seperately.

i downloaded gunstar heroes. it's just awesome. if you like contra, you can't go wrong with it. and there's co-op. and mixing weapons. and melee attacks. and each stage plays differently. and my 7-year old cousin does pretty well in it (he kinda developed in 5 minutes some incredible skills that weren't there the day before, when we were playing pokemon rumble :P), and calls it "gansta heroes" :lol:

I would love to buy almost all of those. ......If they weren't already part of a compilation game on the 360 and PS3 and if half of those weren't already available for $5 with more features on their Marketplaces. Damn, I got excited when I read the title of the thread. Good for people that own only a Wii and plan to only have one for awhile though.

Not sure where you get those comparisions. It's like Fire Emblem, Der Langris, Warsong, Advanced Wars, Super Robot Teisen, etc. But it is a great game, so is Shining Force 2.

Good for those that don't have the games yet. Too bad Shinging Force 2 and any of the Phantasy Star games on the Genesis aren't on sale.
