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

I didn't even know a sequel existed until naz told me after Streets of Rage came out on the VC, so I can't wait to download and try this.

For your information, there's a Streets of Rage 3 as well, but I never really liked that one. SoR2 is the best, in my opinion, and it has the best music, too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Everyone waiting for better releases, like Chrono Trigger for the SNES, might as well just go buy the game instead. Some games just aren't gonna pop up on VC. Ever.

One thing that many just fail to understand is that Nintendo doesn't have the right to publish all third party games. Just because they appeared on a N-console it doesn't mean that they are able to sell them on VC. They need special permission for that.

I think most of you know that already, but I get the impression that not everyone seems to realize it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You can hope all you want. In the meantime, however, I'll be playing the original. Enjoy your hope!

How ya doing, buddy?

Elixir:

Yeah, that's also a limit, but since N doesn't own the license for Terranigma I find it nigh likely to happen, even in Europe. Of course, it's not one of those games that SE seems to think that highly of, so who knows. Maybe they'll release it for Eur, Aus and Jap at least. I highly doubt it, though.

Infernal Monkey:

Again, it's not ultimately up to Nintendo, and it's so much more than just localization and determining maturity levels. Chrono Trigger is still such an important title for SE, it's unlikely that N will get the permission to put it on VC. The same goes for, if not more so, the FFs.

I'm still positive that there will be more great titles for VC, just don't get your hopes up on one day finding those top third party titles. Then again, who knows?

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

NES Open is actually quite good as well.

My theory is that they can't stop since they only have crap to choose from in the first place. The only games that are approved by the third parties are the games they don't need anymore. There may be rare exceptions but, let's face it, VC isn't what we expected it to be. Hell, I'm pretty sure it isn't what Nintendo expected it to be either!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Shining Force is a great release, I guess, if you don't own the original, like I do. Sigh. Well, there's always the N64 games. Never did get around to buying that system. Too bad Sin & Punishment won't show up on the US VC.

FELIPE NO

I'll probably never buy any SNES games on VC. The SNES (and SFC for that matter) is my favorite console, ever. I own most of the good games, and the one's I don't own I intend to buy in the near, or far, future. It just wouldn't be the same to play them on VC. The feel of the carts, the smell of the box and manual... It just won't feel the same w/o them.

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

What are you talking about? Dynamite Headdy is awesome!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Neo-Geo games would be awesome, but I think the Wii has too much of a memory problem to be able to handle those for the moment.

How ya doing, buddy?

Metroid really isn't that hard. I remember thinking back to the days when I was a kid and had trouble beating the game, then trying the game later on only to find that it was easy enough to beat in one sitting. It's a great game though, I can't recommend it enough if you don't own the original.

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

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Chrono Trigger will NEVER be released on the VC. Ever. Not unless Square decides to release it themselves in a company specific channel, anyway. Highly unlikely.

Read one of my earlier posts to get the answer and use question marks for questions. These are the suggestions I'm willing to give you at this moment.


Also, I don't think that Terranigma will make it to US VC since the releases seem to be region specific. Terranigma was never released in the US. However, Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia/Time might make it since S-E are not profting from them any more.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You make a very strong and valid point, good sir. Maybe it was because the console was gray imported into the U.K. at one point? I really cannot answer that question.

(Fatal Fury)

Nice. Weren't those the first games ever to be released on the NEO GEO? I seem to remember seeing Magician Lord on display when the NEO GEO was first released.

For what system?

FELIPE NO

I guess I just thought that you MIGHT remember what system it was for so that I could find the game myself. Searching every post would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. I'll try though...

Translate it for the US market? Yeah, that'll happen ;\/.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nintendo games? Perhaps. Treasure games? Unlikely.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I can't blame you for hoping. Hell, if Sin & Punishment would be released on the US VC, even I would buy it. I just think it seems a bit far fetched. I'll believe it when I see it.

Stranger things have happened, I guess. *zips mouth about localizations until this has been proven false*

Yes. They obviously don't.
