World of Goo is supposed to be great, it got 9.5 on ign. I'll be downloading it later today.

Haohmaru @ Oct 13th 2008 9:07AM

MANA!

I'm getting it.

Garu @ Oct 13th 2008 9:21AM

Thanks David! I'm looking forward to your VC Monday Madness video. After you review the Street Fighter game, could you offer your opinion as to which Street Fighter game a person should download if they only wanted to get one off the virtual console?

Thanks Man!!!

David Hinkle @ Oct 13th 2008 11:45AM

Will do!

Dreganfyre @ Oct 13th 2008 9:39AM

MANA!

I'm getting it too. :)

A very good week with the Virtual Console and WiiWare.

World of Goo (get it!) and a new Art Style game.

shawn @ Oct 13th 2008 10:06AM

samfish @ Oct 13th 2008 10:17AM

AHHHH! Secret of Mana! No way! I'm totally getting it tonight, too!

Poor World of Goo...sent out to die!

Gumbyx84 @ Oct 13th 2008 10:24AM

So very very VERY happy SoM finally made it to VC. I was going to work on a video walkthrough of it in the near future on my PC, but maybe I will just use the VC release instead. :-D Hope I have enough points to get it (I hate being poor :( )

TWOO DEE @ Oct 13th 2008 10:35AM

wtf! why couldn't cubello have been 500 points? oh well, i guess it's only world of goo for me...

Dante G @ Oct 13th 2008 10:45AM

Secret of Mana!!!

So many games... so little time

Sisyphus @ Oct 13th 2008 10:54AM

I'm very excited to see World of Goo and S&M come out. I've been actively waiting for both of them with frenzied patience.

Cyantre @ Oct 13th 2008 10:57AM

SoM and S&M are two completely different things. =P

Cyantre @ Oct 13th 2008 10:58AM

Oh, you meant Sam and Max. Still, be wary of its abbreviation.

Sisyphus @ Oct 13th 2008 1:28PM

Aye, Sam & Max. I've never heard of Secret of Mana, except for some people wanting it on VC. So I'm happy for them. We should all get the games we so desperately desire. :)

Sonic_13 @ Oct 13th 2008 11:54AM

I could've sworn that Sam & Max already came out on July 29th

and October 7th

But maybe I was just misinformed... :P
