Golden Axe's been out for quite a while.

Just got Golden Axe and Contra III =) Loved those games as a kid.

I see Shining in the Darkness is due out sometime in 2007. That's good news. Hopefully that means SFI-SFII-SFIII all come out eventually. I'm still patiently waiting week in and week out for SMRPG/Metroid.

BTW, what is Nintendo's reasoning for giving certain regions a video game and anohter not. Other than Japan that is, becuase looking at some of the games it looks like they were exclusive to Japan from the beginning. For example, Europe/Austrailia got Super Mario 2 on May 25th, and are in line to get Shining Force eventually. Yet, US does not even have either of those on a list of future releases.

Can anyone make sense out of that for me?

June 25th:

SNES- Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Turbo Grafx- China Warrior
N64- F-ZeroX

I think it's an attempt to make everyone happy.
For us europeans it is pretty frustrating that the games always arrives in Japan/US first, and we are last priority.
However, Nintendo has switched things a bit up on the Wii (Europe got Mario Strikers first, US Mario Party etc.)

All pure speculation though...

July 2nd:

NES- Super Mario Bros. 2
Sega- Ecco: The Tides of Time
TurboGrafx- Dragon Spirit

SMB2 makes today a good one for me.

Word to SMB2

SMB2 is criminally underrated.

SMB2 = Personal favorite SMB game.

wasn't SMB2 really not even a mario game to begin with?
they just threw in the mario crew when it got imported to the US.

Thats correct.

It was called like Doki Doki Panic or something. Does not bother me in the least. I like it because it is so far outside of the Mario norm.

I used to really like SMB2 when I was a kid. I have always wanted to play the other version of it though. I wish they'd release that one too.

I've never looked, but I can't believe there's not a Doki Doki Panic ROM out there somewhere.
