Both of those games have issues (technical and otherwise) that need to be resolved before coming to the Virtual Console. It's not those. I'm literally waiting for the final approval now, so it should go up today or tomorrow unless something catastrophic happens.

Yes, I spend way too much time in Sportsbooks.

Hebereke (or the Japanese Ufouria) might get it's restored, translated Wii Virtual Console download somewhere tomorrow or so, in his other words, He might release it under the title ''Hebereke'' and change the characters back into Hebereke characters(Just depends on him having a translator help out. But I may not know for sure until the game's release )

I think they both used extra sound chips in the Japanese versions.
So, they'd either have to add support for those and release the Japanese versions (haven't played enough of Gimmick to know if it needs translating or not, Hebereke probably would), or adjust the PAL versions to work properly in NTSC.

Hebereke has normal music, unlike Gimmick! The only extra chip for sound is in the Japanese Gimmick! only

I can't really accept credit since this was already well underway when I came on last year, but thanks!

What a pleasant surprise on a dreary Saturday afternoon!

Is the game a remake or sequel? Not that it matters, I'll be buying it either way!

Halfway between both, more like a re-imagining. I would have liked to restore the Meta Fight storyline, but this was already pretty far along when I came on. It's based on the original US storyline, but some things are changed. For example, the hero (Alexander/Alex) in this one is an adult trying to save his family...AND MANKIND. :) Mix of old and new mutants, mix of similar and new bosses, somewhat different ending.

Curse me sideways! I'm at loss of words! This is awesome (@new Blaster Master)

Say, Vic, this might sound like a broken record, but are you guys in talks with anyone (in a promising, "soon to have a solution,"-kind of way) regarding European releases for things?
