Oh man! I just bought Guitar Hero III this weekend. I've been obsessed with Tony Hawk Underground 2 for the Gamecube, I still haven't gotten all my stars on Galaxy, and someone just bought Mortal Kombat Armageddon for me as a gift. This morning I was thinking "I hope something doesn't come out for the Virtual Console that I must have." Then I thought "Yeah right, when was the last time that happened?" And then they go and release Harvest Moon!

I think this may be the first time I want all of the offerings on VC. Harvest Moon - farming goodness. Lords of Thunder - one of the few shooting games I ever enjoyed and completed.

Harvest Moon... of course... after I blew all my Wii points last week downloading Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for who knows what reason despite owning Sonic Mega Collection...
Oh well, I'll have to hold off and see what I get for V-day...

Harvest Moon is awesome -- the first night I discovered it, about 10 hours of my life disappeared without a trace. But I have to wonder -- with the dozen or so versions since the first one, has it gotten any better? I've got Rune Factory, which seems like it could be cool, though I haven't been able to sink enough time into it to get to the "fun part" yet. I know there's one or two on GC, and I think they're making a Wii version soon (?), plus PS2, GB/GBA, and all the others... would the SNES original seem a bit bland by comparison?

I loved SNES harvest moon. I have the GBA more friends of mineral town, which is great, except it never ends haha. I haven't played the latest ones, although I know they flesh out the romance side of it a lot which I love so at least in the character respect the later ones are better. As for the farming side? Much more complex and varied but I think the SNES one manages to hold up, since they've all got the same core gameplay.
