Well, as I see it this needs to have a few basic things done right to interest me.
a) Price. Yes, it all boils down to this. I expect to see this at a low price since development doesn't take all that much resources. [You could compare to other stuff on for example XBLA]
b) Platform-consciousness. It may look like a NES game, it may sound like a NES game, but it better not be a NES game. I'm with Warp here, ditch the damn limitations, this isn't the 80s anymore.
What I mean is, that I would like to see things in the graphical style chosen which were out of the question on the original hardware due to the limitations. Sprite limits are a thing of the past. Sure, a few purists might whine and throw a tantrum but overall I see this bringing out a better game. Sound channel limitations are in the same category, give the composer(s) some room.

English is my fourth language.
I only had it for 2 years in shool... so when you find an error in my spelling or my grammar, don't bother me with it, that would only be annoying for both of us.
I also think everyone understand what user xy means by "dieing" or "reproducable"
I don't see the reason to be so hostile against anyone who wishes to correct your spelling. I find that here people don't usually correct spelling out of malice but to educate. In the end, if your text from that point onwards is more readable, everyone wins.
Not to mention, that your point will be taken in much higher regard if you present it with correct (and clear) grammar, instead of leetspeak or random gibberish.

Yliluoma is not that common name, and Joel is a rare name in Finland too. (Well, was when I was born. It has since become much more common.)
Still, chances are that within 10 years there's another. (No inside information, just extrapolation on probabilities.)
I'm like that as well. Sallanmaa is limited to my rather small (extended) family and I would guess that Toni is not a very common first name any more. Even if I had a son and would like to name him after me I would use the alternate spelling "Tony" for people to not get confused.
(SciAm keeps sending the magazine to Ms. Toni Sallanmaa :()

100% markup seems like a massive blunder, but generally, its not hard to see where they are coming from. Markets have different character, as whats popular in USA might not be in japan or whatever, so selling something that has been successful here might not be elsewhere.
Its a risk to the to market products in an untested setting, and in business, risk is costly.
I guess what I'm getting at is that it sucks, but its no coincidence that EU and Australia launch dates run insanely behind, and might not even happen at all. Business people hate the prospect of risk. What I don't understand is the need to create region lockouts for DVDs and games.
It's to make us actually buy the games from the local area and not from the happy cheap dollar land.
Well, at least ordering from outside EU tax zone is still slightly cheaper than the massively overpriced console games around here anyway.

What I think is fairly interesting is that even if they did foresee that it wouldn't sell well with that kind of a price tag, they just can't lower the price without taking a big image hit.
"Yes, we can actually sell this cheaper but we decided to try and milk the cash out of you"
Well, fortunately music games aren't really my thing. ;)

...Who the heck voted no? I would've liked to hear at least an explanation for that.
*sigh* must every single no vote be accounted for, even though there are always yes votes that go unaccounted for? "explain yourself" to no votes is dumb. Especially considering that the workbench is, in fact, not a democracy, why does the explanation of no votes matter? This is a long awaited completion to a trilogy, and will be published anyways, so what does a no vote matter anyways?
I would think this is because voting no signals that you didn't like the movie. Clarifying in a comment exactly why you didn't like the movie will help the author to improve his movie to cater for wider amount of audience if it needs to be refined before re-submitting, if it's possible in limits of the game.
No votes are perceived negative, and I at least, usually like to know why something I did caused a negative reaction, while I can enjoy a positive reaction without thinking twice about it.

For music I'm still using my old and trusty Creative Zen Jukebox Xtra. Okay, it's rather big by today's standards but it works for me.
Videos and stuff I handle on my eeePC. ;)

Very cool. Can't remember the last time Mega Man was submitted. While the nostalgia-rating isn't as big for this one than, say, MM2 the run was still smooth and action-packed.
Clear yes.

Clever routes (breaking stuff open with axe beforehand was a nice touch), a lot of glitching and awesome soundtrack of the game make this movie a hard one for me to resist.
I wasn't bored watching it, it's not that long, especially for a 100% and the backtracking parts were kept to a minimum and irritated only in a few locations where the "go in door, move to halfway of the room, exit" -cycle was done a few too many times in rapid succession.
In any case, I was entertained, thus yes.

if you haven't noticed yet, sarcasm is a running theme in my posts here. the whole thing's meant to be a joke, but as usual tasvideos is full of SERIOUS BUSINESS
Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

The split up archives for copyrighted material usually come directly from the scene releases. Scene standards dictate how it needs to be packaged to avoid nuking.
Not that it helps in the BT circles, but I guess the rationale is that people who obtain the packages from other sources can help seed.

SMB3 by Morimoto was the first step for me as well. I suspect I stumbled upon it on IRCNet. It's notoriously quick on spreading "cool" stuff around.
I think I found the site somehow from that, since I recall being amazed at a megaman / megaman2 TAS.

I use a pair of wireless routers. Wii supports 802.11g so the speed shouldn't be that much of an issue, providing that your router isn't ancient (even then Wii can use 802.11b, which is speedy enough for most internet connections).
I would probably go for a 802.11g router if I didn't have anything (if one is applicable to your situation). You can use your Wii with it plus if you get a laptop / more machines / new mobile phones / whatever you can just connect them to the internets with the router without much hassle.

I as well think that most of this "controversy" is because FODA unfortunately mentioned those things in his submission text. To try to look smart, I'll point you to submission #1000, which also could be said to contain similar imagery, but without the fuss that this submission has created.
Anyway, bears aside, I still the game sucks horribly and I've never actually understood why it became such a cult classic. Still, I think using two players was a good choice and it's faster than before which means less torment from this game, which cannot be a bad thing.

Even though majority of the game was slashed away, I think the remainder (which is hopefully the hardest part of the game) shows enough of the general gameplay for this game. Being so short, it doesn't get boring and as others have said, the graphics & music are not unpleasant but nothing spectacular either. Though those chains that are on the foreground on some levels severely distracted me.
Yes.
