lol@ Operation Wolf, I remember having that. It\'s a shooting game that you would think is controlled by the Zapper, but is actually controlled by the D pad. It\'s very lame as a result.

Super RTYPE is cool, I may get that.

I sure hope real Zapper games come the VC\'s way with Wii remote support. I would like to see Wild Gunman, Hogan\'s Alley, and of course Duck Hunt.

I would definetly recommend it Linkyshinks. It's an awesome game.

It's nice to see some decent game coming to the VC again. Lately, there hasn't been much really. I haven't heard of Operation Wolf though.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

My brother had Operation Wolf on NES. I remember quite liking it at the time too.

Actually, not that oh my fucking god worthy is it.

I suspect we won't see any LightGun games in the VC, since they would require quite a bit of modification to make them work with the Wiimote.

However, I bet we will see some of them show up ported to WiiWare games...hopefully brought up to more modern standards for art and sound, of course.

Thing is I also got the excellent PC Engine version which is regarded as the best by many Smilie

Your right for those reasons, hopefully they will come via Wii Ware. Dr Mario has with online content so it is very possible.

Super R-Type is actually a "remix" of sorts of R-Type II. The R-Type on the PC Engine is the first R-Type. The two games are completely different.

Of course, that's just an opinion.
