Not only was my prediction of Ys Books I & II not being release on Virtual Console this week correct, but let's examine this small piece I wrote on August 1st regarding my feelings on Mega Man 9:

"Mega Man 9 is what happens when Keiji Inafune thinks it'd be cute to ignore the perfectly managable technological resources that could make a gorgeous 2D action game. Instead, what we receive is some sadistic catering to the Mega Man "fans" that haven't picked up a franchise title since before the series moved onto more advanced gameplay in the form of the X series. There's no buster-charging. There's no slides. There's an abundance of 8-bit graphics. Everything so stupidly retro about this release (right down to the promotions), I wouldn't be surprised the this release even had flickering graphics and frame-rates like an NES cartridge would induce."
