    Hopefully we get it here, or at least be made available for download. :)

    Shame. I really wanted to play this for free. FIRST :D

    If it's free to download for us as well then great, but personally I'm going to leave the 3D Classics alone from now until a game that isn't totally brutal gets released. Kid Icarus is the sort of game where most players won't get all that far into it.

    If they made Castlevania that'd be cool though, it's still hard but at least it's far more approachable (you can at least get a reasonable way into the game with a bit of perseverence) and gameplay-wise it just plays, looks and sounds far better than the likes of Kid Icarus imo. Plus the game doesn't work on the Wii Virtual Console unless you have the original lead - I forget which is which between component and composite, but Castlevania isn't compatible with the higher quality one, meaning you have to swap leads if you want to play it (then again Kid Icarus is the same :P).

    Mind = blown.

    I was praying that their be a proper big platformer type game release in the 3D Classics range. Originally I thought of 3D Super Mario Bros., but now that we have Super Mario 3D Land what would be the point? Kid Icarus though will be a great alternative. Crossing my fingers for a 3D Classics: Mega Man!

    If it's free I'll have some fun with it, but I have the original on wii so I'm not paying for it :/

    Really hope we get this, I want to play it before Uprising so I can experience the whole saga!
