Ohh, Wave Race 64, best water-based game ever as far as I'm concerned. Definately buying this when it shows up on the US VC.

Agreed. The handling on it was truely sublime, right up there with Sega Rally IMO, can't wait for this to arrive .

Never played this but judging by the title it must be awesome.

Is Paper Mario worth getting?

I've just ordered some points from play asia and am just thinking about all the games i'm gonna get XD

I kinda liked Super Paper Mario (or the first half at least....it got pretty tedious...)

Is it playable without any knowledge of japanese? :S

Just praying that we PAL VC owners get some kind of optimisation on WR64.

As much as I loved the original (I only had a PAL N64 - 1997 was before my importing days), the UK version was treacly and had massive borders.

Super (sic?) Paper Mario was released on Euro VC which is pretty cool in mo. But, i have to ask, where are the promised NEO GEO games?!
