May 30, 2008 in News comments 10

Nintendo has released its release list for the Virtual Console in Japan for the month of June, and there are some show-stoppers on that list. It is looking to be another great month for the Japanese VC.

Famicom:

  • Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa
  • Transformers: Convoy no Nazo [Wiki]
  • Nekketsu Koukou Dodge Ball Bu (Super Dodge Ball)
  • Yoshi's Cookie [Wiki]

    Super Famicom:
  • Super Mario RPG [Wiki]

    N64:
    -Nothing

    Master System:
  • Ashura (Secret Command in Europe, Rambo: First Blood Part II in the US)

    Mega Drive:
  • Phantasy Star IV [Wiki]

    PC Engine:
  • Power Tennis
  • Lords of Thunder
  • Paranoia (Psychosis)
  • Gunhed (Blazing Lazers)

    Neo Geo:
  • King of the Monsters
  • Ninja Commando
  • Art of Fighting 2

    The two main high-quality games for Japan this month are the legendary Super Mario RPG and Phantasy Star IV, for the Super Famicom/SNES and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis respectively. Hopefully, both games will make it stateside to heavy fanfare.

      The only thing that's worth it is Super Mario RPG. I'm kind of suprised they're finally releasing it, but it's about time really. This should finally dispel any rumors regarding whether the game will be released or not.

        Easy there cowboy...I'm just glad that it's been announced. This means that the whole licensing issue between SquareEnix and Nintendo has been resolved. That was pretty much the only problem concerning the release and now that we know it's been resolved, a North American release is inevitable. I'd say that we should it by the end of summer because we all know that Ninty likes to mint money...

          Needs to be more at the start of the summer imo. I need something to play during the summer that isn't Brawl.

          Not necessarily. While a NA release may be inevitable, the licensing issue between SE and Nintendo for its other top properties is probably still up in the air. Nintendo may have only successfully negotiated for SMRPG.

          Ignoring Phantasy Star IV is a sin, by the way. Shame on you all.
