To all you American Wii owners - I’m jealous! You get to play R-Type on the virtual console today. We poor Europeans don’t get it until the 29th Dec 06. Grrr.
Also for everyone who got a Wii console for Christmas:

I’m somewhat curious about the prices of the Wii virtual console games in the US, Europe and Australia. In Japan, R-Type and the other PC Engine games cost 600 points, Mario64 costs 1000 points, SNES games cost 800/900 points, NES games are 500, and MegaDrive games are 600. One Wii point is exactly 1 yen, so Mario64 currently costs GBP 4.30 at today’s JPY-GBP exchange rate.
There, just get the US and Ozzie prices and you can do a comparative post on it! =)

well the USA and UK r-type are the full 8 levels (costing 800 points), whereas Japan has to buy r-type 1 (4 levels) and r-type 2 (the last 4 levels of the original r-type) to get the whole game. So Japan gamers have to pay a bit more in this case :(
I want to buy all r-type versions from every region please nintendo! Hello? ARE YOU LISTENING??!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!
