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

Virtual Console (US) for 8-4-08:

Sonic the Hedgehog (Master System) - 500 points
SPLATTERHOUSE 2 (Genesis) - 800 points

Sorry to disappoint you all, but that list looked fishy anyway. It had 3 Virtual Console releases, and we know Nintendo stopped doing that long ago.

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

First of all, if you have Sonic the Hedgehog for the Game Gear it's pretty much the same exact game for the Master System with minor color differences. There are 6 zones on here, some recurring from the Genesis game (with different layouts) like Green Hill, Labyrinth, and Scrap Brain, and some new, Bridge, Jungle, and a level that comes after Scrap Brain which I can't remember. It was in the sky though, maybe on an airship.

The chaos emeralds aren't in special stages, instead they are scattered throughout the six levels in different acts. I think this game was actually more difficult than the Genesis title.

Even if you don't have it, don't buy it on the Virtual Console. You're better off playing it on the Mega Collection Plus or on Sonic Adventure DX...or by other means.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Virtual Console (US) for 8-11-08:

Break In (TG16) - 700 points
Star Parodier (TG16) - 900 points

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Actually, that came out today on WiiWare.

FELIPE NO

Ah, I see what they've done. They're celebrating the 250th Virtual Console release with Super Mario RPG. Downloaded, I don't care if I already have the cartridge for my Super Nintendo.

Maybe next week we'll get Mega Man 9 on WiiWare, but that might be pushing it.

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

Super Mario RPG was the first RPG I had ever completed and enjoyed. My first RPG was Dragon Warrior back on the NES, but I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I was able to defeat those little slimes, but those damn dragons kept killing me and made my 10 minutes of exploring worth nothing.

Ugh, speaking of troubles when you first played Super Mario RPG:

Spoiler:

When I was first playing I had a lot of trouble with the second fight with Crocco. The part where he steals your items caught me off guard and I died a lot before I finally took him down.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This week's releases: two for VC and, surprisingly, two for WiiWare. For VC:

Super Dodge Ball (NES) - 500 points
Vectorman (Genesis) - 800 points

Of course...let's face it. Mega Man 9 is stealing the show today on WiiWare.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This week's releases:

Virtual Console
Super Turrican 2 (SNES) - 800 points

WiiWare
Bomberman Blast - 1000 points
Art Style: ORBIENT - 600 points

That Bomberman one is tempting, but I've heard there's a similar game on XBLA so I'll wait.

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

Well I was raised on the Genesis version of EWJ (and Battletoads), so this'll put a smile on my face once it hits North America.

Although, I think they could fit the Sega CD version on the Virtual Console or even Wiiware.

For Sonic 2 on the Game Gear (I'm assuming it's the same on the Master System version), you're off to rescue Tails. You go through 6 zones (none of which borrow from the Genesis version), each with 2 acts and a boss act. There are two endings to the game.

1. You just clear the game, nothing special.

2. There is a chaos emerald hidden in each of the zones in one of the two acts. Collect all six to make it to a seventh zone, and beat the three acts there to get the true ending.

Also, Sonic 2 on the Genesis introduced the Sonic spin where you hold down and hold a button to charge up the spin and then let go. This game doesn't have it, so it follows more with Sonic 1's (Genesis) control style.

Sonic can also ride a glider (which I could never figure out) in certain levels. I think you need this item to get one of the chaos emeralds.

I hope that helps.
