Virtual Console: The Lost Update.

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


This Update is CRAZY! Two practically unheard of games in North America, Two games that unless you're a crazy die hard gamer already, you've NEVER had the chance to play! Today! .... ..Fahoobugawdz!

N + Super Mario Bros.™: The Lost Levels™
NES®, 1 player, rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points
Originally released in Japan as Super Mario Bros.® 2, this game has previously made only brief cameo appearances in the Western Hemisphere. Now available on the Virtual Console™ in all of its original splendor, Mario fans will appreciate the familiar look and feel of the game, while finding that its updated game play creates an entirely new challenge. No longer content just to wear different-colored overalls, Mario and Luigi also possess different skill sets: Mario can stop quicker, while Luigi can jump higher. In addition to the classic enemies already known to fans worldwide, there are also Poison Mushrooms, backward Warp Zones, and the occasional wind gust (which can help or hinder your progress) to take into account. And if that's somehow not enough, expert players can go looking for the game's secret worlds. So get ready to put your Mario skills to the ultimate test, and save the Princess again. Just don't be surprised if she's in another castle.

N + Sin & Punishment™
Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, rated T for Teen – Blood, Fantasy Violence, Mild Language, 1,200 Wii Points
Created by the legendary development studio Treasure, this is a game that hard-core gamers and fans of Japanese imports recognize as one of the finest Nintendo 64 titles to have never previously reached North American shores. Its unique combination of English voice-overs with Japanese subtitles (preserved in this version) has only added to the enthusiasm for its eventual release here. Experience the frenetic pace of a classic shooter, while choosing from a variety of options and a number of different skill levels until you are ready to take on the full-blown challenge of Turbo Hard mode. Not to be outdone by the action, however, the intriguing story line gives the game its soul and draws you even further into the mix. Set in the near future, on an overpopulated Earth starved for resources, players uncover the intriguing mystery of two teenagers (Saki and Airan) and their battle against the Ruffians as they advance through level after level of nonstop action. Take a deep breath, gather your energy and prepare to see why this game is so highly praised.

For all those who don't know, SMB: the Lost levels did come out over here, the first time it was released, it was a remake on Mario All Star as the "Lost Levels". The second release of the game was on Super Mario Bros.DX for the GBC as a unlockable for beating the original Super Mario Bros. Also, Super Mario Bros. the "Lost Levels" is actually the sequel to SMB1, but it never was released in America untill Mario All Stars came out in the 1990's as Super Mario Bros: The Lost levels. The second game we all know is actually a Mario remake of a game called "Doki Doki Panic", that starred an Arabian child with friends that had the same abilities as the characters we all know.

Everyone here, that why they love Nintendo.

Sin and punishment is kinda weird, I played it on a emulator and I'm telling you, is weird, better play Ikaruga.

Nice picture by the way. (Japan is like the 13 colonies)
