I dunno, I got Super Metroid and Paper Mario. Whilst, yes, it's noticable in Paper Mario, Metroid runs smooth as all hell.

Chances are the conversion issues are barely noticeable and no different from the fact that most of these games ran letterboxed and with strange framerates originally.

It's still an all time classic.

I have a fairly large collection of VC games including Pokémon Snap, Mario Kart 64, Lylat Wars, Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Gunstar Super Heroes, Streets of Rage 2, Street Fighter 2 Bomberman '2 and proabbly a few more I can't remember right now. All of these games are more than playable. Hell I'd argue that the N64 games are all superior versions. Maybe you should stop being a bitching child Elixir, get away from the ROMS and start paying for quality VC downloads.

Rolling Thunder 2 was quite fun; bonus points for the music-test mode featuring a band comprised of SD synthetics. Cybernator (why this was changed from Assault Suits Valken is beyond me) also makes my recommended list.
Oh, and seeing as someone flubbed the opportunity to bring current-gen a proper Shadowrun RPG - come on, with games like Deus Ex, KOTOR, and Mass Effect as examples, I find it hard to believe that the best Microsoft and FASA could come up with was basically Counter-Strike with magecraft and cybertech - I for one say it's time for a blast from the past. Specifically, the SNES Shadowrun RPG.

Elixir Jan 7, 2008 01:23 AM

Was this mentioned already? I can't find out if it plugs into the Gamecube port or the Wii controller. If it plugs into the Wii controller, well, that's just awesome. Official SNES controller, wireless, for VC games.

Ahahahaha. First of all, the PAL VC games have NTSC/PAL conversion issues which make them far from "quality".

All SNES and all 1st party NES games fit in this category.

List of Virtual Console games (Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Second of all, if I'm going to pay for roms, common sense tells you that you want them in the best possible quality available. PAL VC fails this on a bunch of levels, for 95% of the library it has. Third of all, emulators like ZSNES have been dominating over the original experience for years now. Perfect roms can be found online which aren't riddled with conversion shit, are free, and have fantastic emulators that enhance SNES/etc games on a monitor. Quality which you won't find from a tv with component.

There's a few good PAL VC games like Sin & Punishment but ahahahaha "quality VC downloads"

Are you talking about that club nintendo super famicom wii controller? That uses the Wii controller. I preordered 2 of them a while ago. I hope I get them.

Elixir Jan 7, 2008 01:35 AM

Where did you preorder them from? I was waiting for Play-Asia to open theirs, but if there's somewhere else, do tell. I'll just use them instead.

In retrospect, it's great that they decided to rename it to Cybernator back then. Especially considering the hilarious PS2 remake.

"Have you played Valken on SNES?"
"Sure haven't, but what's this! I'll just get it on PS2, it's gotta be better, right?"
*Slow motion head shake of disapproval*

Also I hear HARVEST MOON is on the PAL VC. The original is still the best somehow, and they release like thirty new ones every month.

Ah damn NCSX is where I preordered mine and their preorders are now closed. Sorry lix. :(

Nintendonomicon Jan 7, 2008 08:19 AM

Today the Americas get...

- Star Tropics (NES, 500 Wii points).
- The King of Fighters 94 (Neo Geo, 900 Wii points).

Too damn bad I'm unemployed and only have 700 Wii Points, I can't aford KOF 94 ;__;
Why did I have to quit my job!?

FatsDomino Jan 7, 2008 08:32 AM

Oh damn! Star Tropics. Finally an NES game that I actually want (well besides Bubble Bobble).

nuttyturnip Jan 7, 2008 10:01 AM

I've never played Star Tropics and know almost nothing about it, other than people love it. Sounds like something I'll have to download.

Its definetely a good game. Its one of my favourite nes games of all time. There are lots of great puzzles and the difficulty of this game definetely has its moments (stupid pirate island). You'll get a good amount of playing time out of this one especially with all the islands you have to explore.

I would probably download put I already got the nes cartridge for it, so I think I'll be going for KOF 94. I've been showing an interest into the KOF series lately since getting KOF 11.

SuperSonic Jan 7, 2008 12:35 PM

Wait a minute...only two games this week? Well there was that one time when a Zelda game was the only one released, so which one counts as two games?

Chaotic Jan 7, 2008 01:03 PM

I need something new and I've heard good things about Star Tropics... Unless there's a convincing reason why I should get it, I'm probably gonna be meh about this week's update... We need Tetris Attack... Now. :|

Woo! I guess I will have to get Internet access at my new diggs after all... I wonder if there is hope of seeing the sequel also?

Damn straight! Probably one of the most addicting puzzle games ever. You should turn out positive on a drug test after playing it.

Some Mischief Makers would be nice too. The VC is no stranger to sweet Treasure luv!

Man, I need a job.

It's all right. I'll keep an eye on my source and nope they open preorders soon.

I probably would buy Startropics but oh god hello failure US only. I wonder how people will deal with the 747 part of the game.

Jurassic Park Chocolate Raptor Jan 7, 2008 04:06 PM

I wonder how they plan on dealing with those who have never played before and how they are gonna get past the "Dunk the manual in water" bit.

nuttyturnip Jan 7, 2008 04:24 PM

I read that the code is in the "Operations Manual" on the Wii version. I can't imagine how they'd disguise it other than to say, "This is the code you need at X point in the game."

RacinReaver Jan 7, 2008 05:34 PM

I remember buying Star Tropics used at a game store. It did not come with the manual. Or the map. Was just a little frustrated at that part of the game.

Diversion Jan 7, 2008 05:39 PM

Part of me hopes they release Smash Bros (Original) before Brawl to help spark interest.

SuperSonic Jan 7, 2008 05:48 PM

Seeing as how they released Mario 3 to help spark interest towards Mario Galaxy, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for Smash.

Once you got good at Tetris Attack, slowdown would occur. I don't know if that's from the SNES limitation or the programming. Pokemon Puzzle League was almost Tetris Attack, but none of that slowdown.

For your DS, Planet Puzzle League is Panel de Pon.

RacinReaver Jan 7, 2008 07:01 PM

Or for your GBC there's Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. There was also a Tetris Attack for the gameboy, but it was terrible since you couldn't do any sort of skill chains.

(Why do I own all of these.)

Summonmaster Jan 7, 2008 09:10 PM

King of Fighters '94!! That's a retro gem, especially considering I've only played every KoF from '97 onwards. It'll be a very interesting comparison to see how Athena (and everyone else of course) has radically changed from their first incarnations, especially compared to XI. Too bad not many people seem to like the KoF series though :(
