Akira_EX | June 30, 2008 | News | Wii 
It's kind of hard to compete when last month had one of the best weeks ever. But somehow, just somehow, Nintendo manages to cook up a month that is a ridiculously good follow-up to their June releases. Why can't they show this kind of love to outside Japan?

Famicom:
  • Dig Dug [Wiki] (July 1st)
  • Chack'n Pop
  • Donkey Kong 3 [Wiki]

    Super Famicom:
  • Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 [Wiki]

    Nintendo 64:
    -Nothing

    Sega Master System:
  • Space Harrier [Wiki]

    Sega Mega Drive:
  • Splatterhouse 2 [Wiki] (July 1st)
  • Shining Force II: Ancient Sealing [Wiki]

    PC Engine:
  • Seirei Senshi Spriggan (July 1st)
  • Kiki Kai Kai
  • Darius Plus
  • Blood Gear

    Neo Geo:
  • Samurai Shodown II
  • Neo Turf Masters

    MSX:
  • Relics
  • Eggy

    There's a variety of top releases this month, being highlighted by Shining Force II. Samurai Shodown II, Kiki Kai Kai, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Space Harrier, and Splatterhouse 2 are the other main games to look for.

      Ugh, Shining Force II is my favourite RPG, tied with FF VIII..so glad this is getting released. I hope a lot of people that didn't try it yet decide to now.

      If its released in Japan, is it pretty much guaranteed to come out on the VC here..? How's that work?

      I'd go with Fire Emblem and Shining Force. I don't really see anything that stellar on the list compared to Super Mario RPG. If my memory serves me correctly, Shining Force II was re-released on the GBA, so I'm sure they can localize it without much of a hassle.

        No, that was the original Shining Force..which needed a remake, graphically anyway..SF II totally doesnt. SF II doesnt need localization either, it was already released here.

          Really? I could've sworn it was SFII. Or maybe it was some other Shining game. I think I might still have that Nintendo Power issue. Whichever game it was, it seemed really interesting.
