Wait, is that a Nintendo game? Perhaps even one we might ENJOY?

No Lost Winds 2? Europe got that last week, and it's the first WiiWare game in ages I'd actually be eager for.

Why are we still getting more Golden Axe? Isn't that literally the 5th or 6th title they've released now?
|
There are four Golden Axe games on the Ultimate Genesis Collection, so they have a lot to go through. Golden Axe 1-3 and the Zelda clone at the least.

Virtual Console Fighting Street (TG16) - 800 points R-TYPE (Master System) - 500 points WiiWare Carnival King - 700 points "Aha! I Got It!" Escape Game - 500 points Family Card Games - 500 points Fighting Street struck my curiosity so I looked into it more. Apparently, it's a port of the arcade version of Street Fighter. |
Damn, I was hoping Fighting Street was a predecessor to Streets of RAGE.

Excitebike is cool I suppose. I mean I know people who really got A LOT out of the original. I can appreciate that. I just never did. I like how Nintendo is taking a nice fresh approach to an old title though and I hope they continue to do that with other titles. I mean how many actual games have Nintendo themselves even put on WiiWare that aren't piece of shit shovelware like Pokemon Petting Zoo or Our Take On A Quiz Show or some bullshit like that? So yeah not bad.
I still don't see Earthbound on Virtual Console. I don't understand what Nintendo's major malfunction is. Why is this game not available? The only thing that's going to make me break off my protest is something fucking incredible showing up on WiiWare and/or whenever Cave Story is released. |

I tracked down where I read about that before, so here's the page on Starmen.net. Important section quoted for importance.

Basic run down: Earthbound music sampled Ric Ocasek, The Little Rascals, the US national anthem, Monty Python and the Who. And because of this, it will never be re-released because of legal implications.

Aw.... :( Well I guess I'll just hold out for something awesome to show up then. NCL is really stubborn and they probably won't ever allow these changes to make the NoA lawyers happy. And I doubt they'll go through the trouble to get permission for the music/samples. |
Nintendo is finally giving us demos? Amazing! I've been wanting to try one of the Bit.Trip games before buying, since I'm afraid that I'll suck horribly and give up after a day.
Still not planning on buying any points or updating my Wii until Christmas, though. I'm afraid Nintendo might do another patch closer to the holidays, and I'd rather do this risky updating as few times as possible. |
Tomorrow, Super Mario Kart arrives on the Virtual Console. Also the original Pilotwings for SNES and Super Smash Bros. for N64 are to follow later this holiday season.

I'd pay good money if they made Super Mario Kart 8-player online. It's still the best game of the series. Best courses. Best music. Best balance of items. Best driving skill.

Holy shit in a can.
More than one thing at a time that's more than borderline passable. First time this has happened ALL YEAR |
I've been playing some of the demos, and most of them seem better then i expected:
Pokemon Rumble: not an amazing game in and of itself, but once my friend joined and there were two of us it was a lot more fun. Sort of like Gauntlet, minus the blood and scary, plus pokemon. just don't go looking for any kind of storyline. (all the pokemon are toys for no readily apparent reason) My life as a Darklord: amusing enough i guess. you simply build a tower and try to defend it from incoming adventurers. simple, amusing if you're into that kind of thing. the sort of game i use to fall asleep at night. Nyx Quest: if the demo is any indication, this game is really lame. story and characters stolen straight from greek mythology, because that's what people do when they're out of ideas. gameplay was very slow - just moving to the next area breaks flow. BIT.TRIP BEAT: what the... kind of awesome? i'm not sure how to react to musical pong... but the promise of four players playing simultaneously might be enough for me to get it if i've got 600 wii points left at some point. |
