Is it true that super mario RPG will be in the Wii's

virtual console too?

[AlphaNerd01]

Leaks from December and January hint that Super Mario RPG will hit the Wii VC, however it's still just a rumor. Of course, Kirby coming to the Wii VC started out as a rumor too...

lol mario kart 64 cant be called 'retro' i think

[AlphaNerd01]

"retro gamer" magazine defines any 'retro' game as a game that has fallen out of favor, especially if it is at least ten years old and on a forgotten platform or system.

But you have your right to an opinion, and I can certainly see why you'd feel that way. I'm just telling you why we at RRR feel otherwise.

its 800 points not 600, good review. Contra deserved an 8 though.

[AlphaNerd01]

I didn't even realize I slipped up like that! Thanks for the correction.

[STEFANROCKER23]

Contra 3 is 800 points

[elpatriotaLX]

mario kart 64 was the best mario kart ever I think.

[OrbitalHUB]

virtual console needs...

1) General Chaos (Genesis)

2) Pigskin Footbrawl (Genesis)

3) Joe Montana Football (Genesis)

4) Mutant League Hockey (Genesis)

5) Herzog Zwei (Genesis)

Soldier Blade is MUCH better than the score you have given it. It's one of the best vertical shmups!
