I'm conflicted. I'm a SFII aficionado and can't decide whether to get this one...or Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. I'm sure the answer will hit me soon enough.

Got a couple of minutes with No More Heroes. Been tedious thus far, but I'm hoping it'll pick up. Stay tuned...

Go with Turbo. That silly gimmick was awesome when I was 10 and I guarantee it still is. Plus you can always just set it at regular, sissy speed if you want.

Harry: That's a special feeling.

Super has the British girl and the other new characters as well. If I am not mistaken, it also has a Turbo selection (I could be wrong on this).

I had Super Street Fighter as a kid, but I bought the Turbo for the Wii Console because I didn't know if Super would come out.

The opinions are well-appreciated, guys. Thanks a lot. I ultimately decided on Turbo, since I had completely forgotten that a remastered Super Street Fighter II is set to (eventually) hit the Xbox Live Arcade. Go Go Hyperspeed!

It snuck up on me, but from the reviews No More Heroes is getting I'm going to have to check it out. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Oh and Turbo was the best of the SF games. Didn't like any of the characters they added in Super.

VC Japan (Tuesday, January 22)
- Devil World (Famicom, 500 points)

VC Europe (Friday, January 25)
- Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (SNES, 800 points)

News from Japan (via IGN):
A new platform has entered the family of classic consoles that makes up Nintendo's Virtual Console download service. Sega announced today that it will begin shortly distribution of Master System titles on the service.

Sega currently distributes via the Virtual Console a large library of classics for its once successful 16-bit Mega Drive (aka Genesis in America). Master System is the 8-bit predecessor to the Mega Drive which was released opposite the NES and, while popular in Europe, failed to take the spotlight from the Nintendo console elsewhere.

In addition to games that were originally released for the Master System platform, Sega's Virtual Console Master System distribution will also include titles for the Sega Mark III and Game Gear platforms. Mark III was a Japanese predecessor of sorts for the Master System. Game Gear was, of course, Sega's answer to the Game Boy.

Master System titles will begin appearing on the Japanese Virtual Console some time in February with Fist of the North Star (600 Wii points) and Fantasy Zone (500 Wii points).

Sega also plans on distributing Master System titles on the European and North American VC services. We'll have details as soon as they're available.

Christmas comes a day early for me! Even without the main Kongs, this was the best game of the series.
