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

Seems the next N64 release will be 1080 Snowboarding. If you haven't played it, it's pretty much worth it for the music alone, with thought-provoking lyrics such as "GRASPU POWAH" and "WORK YO BODY" looping to the sexual delight of drowning MIDI rawk. Actually I have no idea how well this game has held up, loved it when it originally came out. It was a real bitch to not fall over after doing anything at all though.

*Selects character, falls over, energy bar starts flashing*

Also I think Nintendo's going to keep skipping over Pilotwings 64 forever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can never have enough Bubble Bobble. Because it's Bubble Bobble, and Bubble Bobble is pretty Bubble Bobble. I think I'll get Bubble Bobble. Wish Master System was part of the VC circus, because its version of Bubble Bobble is better than the NES Bubble Bobble. Not by much, but by Bubble Bobble. Maybe we'll also eventually see the hot barely legal NES exclusive Bubble Bobble 2. That'd be neat. That'd be Bubble Bobble.

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

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.

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

I still need to get some poooiiiints for Harvest Moon.

Oh man, Pac-Attack. One Christmas I had this gift card thing for Toys U Be. Pac-Attack and Plok were both within the magical price grasp of the cards power. Imagine if I'd chosen Pac-Attack instead of Plok. Society would have collapsed! THOSE DAMN FLEAS.

Also Cruis'n USA has been confirmed to hit the VC someplace, possibly the internet.

I was speaking idiomatically.

We got StarTropics last week actually. First time it's been released here! Stupid Nintendo, I want Blast Corps on the VC. ... Or.. on.. cartridge.. to the pawn shop!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Fuck yeeeessss Street Gangs (River City Ransom) hit the PAL VC today. Also!

Quote:

Later this year Wii owners will be able to download and play C64 games, beginning with International Karate and Uridium. Nintendo promises that these titles “will be bolstered by regular updates to the line-up from the Commodore 64 back catalogue”.

The C64 titles, which will be downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii points each, are currently only slated for European release.

500 points? You stop serving breakfast at 10:30? Horse shit! I'd totally get California/Winter/Summer Games though, and Last Ninja 2 (greatiresticalest music in a game ever).

FELIPE NO

Hahahaha, so I went to download Street Gangs an-



505 Games owns the rights to it now? What? Really? Hahuauhauauhahuahua, this amuses me more than it should. 505 is my favorite Stupid Lisa Garbage Face publisher.



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

Alright, Kirby 64! That launched around the time I was too busy scraping together fun bucks for a PS2, and Nintendo released like eight copies across the country, several hidden in their company cars (station wagon) glove box. So I never got to play it.

Because Ultra 64's technology is the very same used to render the dinosaurs in the upcoming Jurassic Park movie, and if it launched right now it would cost the consumer eighty billion dollars to even look at the box. NASA is also providing technical help to keep the system from launching into outta space. Killer Instinct and Cruis'n USA are powered by SILICON GRAPHICS and you can't expect that sort of virtual reality to come cheap.

Also Lukage guess what I was playing on my Wii earlier fuck yeah that's right River City Ransom IAHUJAHUUHAUHAUHUHAUHAUHHUAHUAHUA it's so good, sometimes I tongue the TV screen.

Most amazing jew boots

Not with the Wii's current 1.44 MB of internal storage! Besides, they'd probably roll out Mega CD first. Then go out of their way to not release any of its five or so worthwhile games.

"Guys look, Double Switch! Haha, it is a game about watching videos and there are some switches"
"Well that's not very interesting at all Sega"
"... DOUBLE SWITCH, TWICE THE MEGA POWER, 2000 POINTS"

How ya doing, buddy?

Is on the PAL VC today. <3
(Along with Wonderboy, plus California Games and Impossible Mission for the C64)

Most amazing jew boots

Oh man. Teddy Boy's too good for the Virtual Console. It'd need its own special section in the shop, and when you download it, Teddy Boy firmware installs itself that turns all the channels into dice. You can't tell which is which, but it doesn't matter - they all start up Teddy Boy.

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

Also awesome-o, you guys finally get Street Gan..-River City Ransom! Now you just need the Megaman 1 and 2 we've had for eighty years. AUHHUWQUHAHUWLOAFOFBREADUHAUHWUHA

JIOGFJIOJGFI)FIIJOPFJGI!!! =D

Mega Drive version of the original is a good thing, it contains an extra level over the SNES one. But it lacks the amazing lens flare in the first level! Mega Drive version of the second.. eh, not so good. BUT EARTHWORM JIM!

I think my brain just imploded.

Yeah, I hope SegaMegaSega CD hits the VC one day. It's not like many of the games used a decent amount of space on the discs (loool ultra grainy FMV running in three colours), so the Wii's hilariously pissy amount of storage space wouldn't be under too much threat.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha whoa what, INTERNET MAGIC has just happened!

FELIPE NO

Oh my.

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

Twelve years later, PAL regions are finally getting Super Mario's Final Fantasy - Dancing with the Seven Stars.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was having a toss over it the other day, I can't type at the same time, so my word-based joy was delayed.

Alex Kidd in the Fuckin' Miracle World!



There's nowhere I can't reach.

We got Super Fantasy Zone on the VC last week. Super Fantasy Zone. Seems America is getting the WiiWare love and PAL regions are getting the VC love. And by love I just mean different broom handles up the arse.

I mean, the American WiiWare launch game Pop! was Australian developed, yet there are no plans to release it here. Nintendo's figured out a way to delay digital distribution. But that's okay, you can keep that shit.

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

Sonic Adventure DX and Mega Collection both have the Game Gear one. And playing a Game Gear port of a Master System game is like eating dried up dog shit instead of meringue because from a distance they sorta looked the same.


Sonic Master System


Sonic Game Gear

Also I hope Nintendo never release Super Mario RPG on the US/PAL VC for lol.

"Where's mah Super Mario RPG?"
"Here are some non-Super Mario RPG games!"
"THESE AREN'T SUPER MARIO RPG"

How ya doing, buddy?

A little-known shitty RPG that nobody likes is up on the PAL VC today. Super Mario RPG or something, I dunno.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I got Cho Aniki when it hit the PAL VC a few months ago, I was a bit let down because it's not quite as weird as I expected (). It is a good shooter though, and the music is <3

I think there was a train boss at one point that made loud grunting noises, I'm not sure. It's all a blur.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So let's have a look at the PAL update today, oh Shining Force 2 a-

EARTHWORM JIM



Earthworm Jim!

Seems they've sped up the music to match the proper NTSC version, but the game still plays 50Hz slow, meaning the animation loses some of its awesomeness. But it's still EWJ!

FELIPE NO

Yep. I miss getting an erection over the lens flare in the SNES version of New Junk City.


YOU WERE SO FANCY

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

World of Goo sounds fantastic. I'm seriously considering this dodgy Homebrew thing I read about that changes the Wii Shop region to get it. Because they're planning on releasing the game as disc-only in PAL regions at like eight hundred times the price. >=(

Nobody likes eight hundred. Especially not seven hundred. Bitter rivals.

How ya doing, buddy?

Amazing weeks for PAL regions.

Space Harrier (SMS)
Street Fighter 2: Fuck There's Already Like Fifty Billion Versions of This Game On The VC Already Edition (MD)
Mayhem in Monsterland (C64)

And by amazing I mean oh.


MIM does look pretty cool though.~

How ya doing, buddy?
