Adventure Island, eh? I never played the Gameboy one. Yet another game I need to check out on the 3DS's Virtual Console!

Huh, I guess ZEN Pinball was pushed back due to the lack of firmware update.

@Jargon

He's so strong and manly.


I would have liked Zen Pinball though. Oh well, next week.

Master Higgins has the greatest expression of any NES character.

GB Adventure Island sounds cool, but what's with Hudson's refusal to ever upload AI 2 and 3??

It's apparently available in Europe, so next week seems likely.

Aaaaaaaand Bloober Team S.A., huh? Nibris anyone?

Is this just a port of the original NES game? I assumed it wasn't but who knows.

TVandLust told me it's based on AI2 on the NES.

Haha, Double Bloob? I didn't think that game would ever come out. Stupid Nibris

Wait now I'm confused, this is a "new" Adventure Island game?! I know it is based off of past games or whatever, but it's not just a virtual console port? But it says "for virtual console"?!

Bizarre.

/EDIT Oh wait I'm dumb, this was probably some old Gameboy game or something?

@Zero

Yes, there is an Adventure Island game on Gameboy. And like Gui said (via T&L), its like Adventure Island II.


(Wow, this guy is giving a great review of the game. I LOVE when "reviewers" give up on a game -- AND WHY? -- not two minutes into it. Horrid.)

--Wait. There you go, people! All you guys were complaining about not being able to play awesome Adventure Island II. There it is!

Adventure Island is fun so far.

And Zen Pinball 3D didn't get pushed back because of the filmware delay, was something else they had to fix.

Alright. I'll be getting Zen Pinball day one, whenever it releases.
