As of today,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is available on the PAL Wii Virtual Console for a limited time, as a part of its Hanabi Festival promotion. There is currently no plans to release it in the US or have a similar promotion. Oh well, at least we have the Neo Geo Golf hit Neo Turf Masters! That’s even better, right? Right?

 

The PAL Wii Shop Channel occasionally holds a promotion known as Hanabi Festival, where rare NES, SNES, and N64 games, usually ones that did not have a previous release in Europe, are available for purchase for a limited time.

      US region always gets gipted out of something. Although, it’s nice that we get most games before anyone else even though they are almost always sports games. Then again, that’s why I import games.

      Nintendo of America hates us. I have a feeling this is what they think: “Maybe they like this game, maybe we can give it to them, but they can handle a couple more weeks of trash that they don’t care about.” I hope the US gets this game soon.

      Well, I guess that this is Nintendo’s way of apologizing to Europe for releasing brawl there after everyone else.
