[Wii] Virtual Console & WiiWare Games - Doing wonders for illegal emulation since 2007

Yes, because N64 games are just that special. Fuckers.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldn't mind a remake of Metroid II for the DS or something. There a few GB titles that would be pretty awesome on the Virtual Console. There's always room for them I suppose but I'd want Nintendo to quit with the 3 titles a week, 2 of which usually don't interest me at all routine that they keep dishing out before getting GB games on VC.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

These are just a few of the problems I've been encountering. I guess you can easily overlook these if you're not asking for a 100% true to original experience or have never played the originals, but for someone looking for "perfect emulation" these things are major disappointments.

Well rather rumble support for Wii and GameCube controllers and an extra set of memory blocks for controller pak storage but yeah. These features should have been fixed ages ago but Nintendo is like naw we is lazy bastard. It's really inexusible considering we're paying for decade old games to play proficiently on a semi-modern console. For that matter the lack of individual savestates and hexediting/gamegenie/actionreplay makes it highly inferior to the PC emulation experience. The fact that they take so fucking long to turn out games and especially ones people might actually want to play makes this shit inexcusable.

I think we've already established in this thread that SuperSonic has terrible taste in videogames several times, Elixir. =)

I was speaking idiomatically.

You know, fine. If Square-Enix wants to just put titles on VC that they never think they can conceivably expand then they should at least have the decency to release EVO and Terranigma.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well I don't know why he thinks certain things like Square having their own channel for their good SNES games or whatever but classics like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana still hold up very well to today's games and could easily be remade or repackaged and still make a good deal of money. Square did shut down the 3D Chrono Trigger fan remake a while back so it doesn't seem like they're quite through milking the series even though they have not given a clear indication of doing so. The Seiken Densetsu series is always a troubling one. Although Sword was a remake of Final Fantasy Adventure there has been no remake or port of the meat and bones of the series which is Secret. It's just another one of those lingering IPs that Square seems to be sitting on. With FF4 being remade it wouldn't surprise me if Square decides that the formula would work with the rest of its popular past titles. So those things make me believe too that Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana and other games they've ported/remade to the DS or GBA might never make Virtual Console in fear that it would take away sales of ports/remakes out in the current market. I suppose they don't expect people to buy the original on VC and remakes on DS/PSP to get a taste of two different yet similar experiences. Their loss I guess but it is just them being cautious.

FELIPE NO

Well it would be less greedy if say Square were to release the original NES version of FF3 even though that might affect FF3 DS sales. It would allow choice. But hell at this point since all this shit is 10/20 years old imo they ought to just give it out for free but pah they'll never ever do that. You know what would be smart? If companies would give out free wii points that would only go towards games they have on the Virtual Console. Say you buy Crystal Chronicles Wii when it comes out and inside is a card for VC Square-Enix games which uh is for uh ActRaiser at this point. It would be a nice reward but nah Nintendo is too dumb to offer up some sort of reward program that anyone would care about. Best they've had was the Zelda compilation discs. Hurrah. =/

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Apparently PAL gamers got one NTSC-only game already. I forget which one though. So if that's the case I'd only expect NTSC gamers to get PAL-only games as well eventually.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well looks like Sin & Punishment will be coming out for VC in Japan. The game had cutscenes in English. If they'd just translate the menus it could come over here. I really hope they put forth the tiny effort to finally get this game officially in the US.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Everything besides menus was already in English. One proficient translator doped up while wearing a sombrero and boxing gloves could do it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Aw, damn you Intarbutt, you told me everything but menus. You can sleep on the couch tonight, mister.

Yeah, Treasure would probably do a good job of using the new control seizure device to cause some nice seizures again.

BECUZ U LIKES WASTIN UR MONIES LIKE ME? =DDD

Most amazing jew boots

If Australia and New Zealand are getting these then you can be damn sure we're getting them too.

I'm not liking these one time only deals though. What happens if you run out of space and delete it? Can you re-download it again like the other VC games or do they completely remove the limited time only game from the server forever. =/

Also CD games are nice news but uhhhhh... where's the space for it all, Nintendo? A harddrive would REALLY be appreciated, you know.

How ya doing, buddy?

Psh... who knows. It's only a matter of time. Aus-folk seem to get their VC stuff on Friday so we might get one of those on Monday.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I love how all these idiots like asking for a firmware update to support sdhc sd cards which allow for higher storage. Firmware does not replace hardware so this won't work. This is why I push for a usb harddrive.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've never heard of that one before. You could always call Nintendo. They're supposed to have really good customer support.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Where the fuck is our Hanabi Festival? >=U

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wait, they're charging you more and not even fucking translating it? What the fuck, Nintendo? This shit is not that hard. Fucking rip-off.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Downloading Sin & Punishment right now. I'm running out of space and I haven't even filled up all the channel slots. This is such bullshit. Nintendo really needs to release a fucking harddrive or allow us to play our downloads off of SD cards. It takes fucking forever to download this stuff in the first place for me. I don't want to have to re-download so I'm going to have to put some of my VC downloads on a 2 GB SD card.

Additional Spam:
And holy fuck does it take forever to transfer these to SD Card. This is unacceptable. Why is it magically 1000 times slower than normal copy and paste use from a computer? This is just retarded. I wonder how slow it is transferring them from the SD card to the Wii.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm basically only doing it for favorites and new stuff as well.

God damn Sin & Punishment can be infuriating at times. Going left and right and jumping while locking on is piss hard. I got killed by the beast on top of the building like 3 times before I figured out if something gets near you and you press the fire button you instead shank whatever is in front of you. Here I am rapid firing the entire time and I only randomly discover that. After the awesome flying floor versus the navy sequence I'm stuck at the bomb dropping from the sky to destroy the giant. I don't get it. I lock on almost immediately, blow the fuck out of it, then when it gets near me I slice the shit out of it, AND it's STILL not destroyed thus making the giant punch it and blow up. After five tries I've declared it impossible and given up. You just don't have enough fire power to beat the bloody thing before it falls. I feel I've probably reached the greatest part of the game and I'm giving up until I get some sound advice that doesn't leave my hands flailing like a giraffe attempting to walk with roller skates.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Okay, this sounds like very good advice. Serves me right for not going through the tutorial. I'll try this the next time I start playing again. Thanks. =)

FELIPE NO

Well, it seems he also got owned by that falling piece of crap too so I dunno. >=I

How ya doing, buddy?

As cool as this is WHERE ARE MY AWESOME SNES GAMES, NINTENDO? Seriously, at least one awesome SNES game should be released every week. You are dealing with fucking roms and an instruction manual here. It isn't hard.

Also, lack of good storage and rumble and memory in N64 games is still pissing me off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
