    For a mere 800 points as well - a truly wonderful Easter pressie from Nintendo. :cool:

    We've just been chatting about it in the VC Wishes thread. ;)

    If this is true then I'm over the moon brian. Even though I'm on holiday then. Nice present to come home to.

    Are they doing anything special with this? Or will it literally be a straight port of the SNES title?

    Im sure its a straight port. It was released in 2009 in Japan and North America and nothing special was added it then so its hardly likely they will do any special just for us.

    Tesco, Asda, Game, Gamestation, HMV etc.
    Or Credit card via Wii Shop Channel.

    I have got it too.
    What I don't get is that when IGN reviewed the VC version back in November 2009 they said it was constantly split screen.
    See link:
    http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/104/1048838p2.html
    They go on about it on the 3rd paragraph down.

    From memory though wasn't the snes version split screen even in 1 player mode?

    Yes it was which is what that 3rd paragraph does say. It was just pointing it out for those that cannot recall/remember the original or 1st time buy which may put some off from purchase.

    Has this game actually been given the 60hz treatment or is it still bordered up 50hz mode ahoy?
