It was extremely well received, I don't think I've ever met anyone that didn't like it. I mean yeah not everyone is gonna like it, but it's pretty hard to argue that it's a bad game. It's not even like it's super polarizing like God Hand. 4/10 isn't a fair score.

Personally I love VJ, one of the most creative games I played last gen, awesome beat em up.

Milk was a bad choice.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I didn't want to start a whole new topic so I decided to post this question here.

I'm thinking about getting rid of one of my copies of super mario bros for the nes (even though it's like the most common game ever so I might not be able to anyway). But anyway, I have one that has no Nintendo Seal of Quality and then one that has an oval seal. Is one harder to find than the other or just more significant in such a way that I should keep one over the other? Or is there no real significance, basically meaning that it's just a personal preference thing?

A quick search shows there are actually 3 variants. There is no seal, round seal, and oval seal. Nintendo Age shows a no seal. Bootgod shows an oval, but a GIS shows rounds as well. Looks like it is probably just going to be a preference thing.

Yeah I'm aware of the variations but haven't really been able to find any info as to why there are 2 different ones and such. But I'm assuming games without seals are older. Not that that really means anything.
