PS IV on the Virtual Console in Japan and Europe.

Yeah, it's being released on Tuesday along with Super Mario RPG. It's a great week to own a Wii in Japan.

That's good - it means it can't be long until those are available elsewhere, too. I just can't decide which one to get first.

Hopefully this means it'll be on the VC in the states soon. That'll make my roommate very happy.

It would be tough for me to pick one over the other too... well, I already have them both but if I had to buy one again it would be a difficult decision. Super Mario RPG might not be a "traditional" RPG but it's an absolute blast and has a wonderful soundtrack. It's really hard to say one is better than the other.

Well, Europe got Phantasy Star IV, still hasn't been released in North America after five months.

Why can't some of these be released for XBL

Seriously! I mean, do we have to start up an official protest against this? I DEMAND PSIV FOR XBL SO I CAN LAY THE GENESIS CARTAGE TO REST! >(

I hear that Heik, my genesis and my cart has about had it. If I play my original cart I take the risk of the data erasing which it does 99% of the time after the power is turned off.

You're talking about Xbox Live, right? They probably won't be released there because of that new Genesis collection coming out next year.

But man, what could be the hold up with the Virtual Console in North America? They sure are taking their sweet time.

Seriously. I've been checking like every week and PSIV is really the only reason why.
...which is kind of silly really, since I already have two versions of it, plus emulation...
