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

Well, I got myself a Clasic Controller (no one told me of it's awesome non waggle Wii menu pointer option) and a 2000 points card and got myself S&P and I'm enoying the hell out of it even if I don't understand one lick of the story (The goverment are arseholes and are aiming to kill a rebellion when thier first priority should be an alien infestation?) and I honestly don't know if I'm playing as a man or a woman (Saki suggests female, but his/her voice suggests male).

Oh and If you guys are hurting for some hate; they don't have a Duel Shock configeration for one stick does move and the other does aim, go on, rage for that.

So that leaves me with 800wp, eyeing the Super Nes cataloge just now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Uh, the way I have it is D-pad = Move, Right Analoge Stick (the one nearest the buttons)= Aim.

Seems to work fine for me.

Sure, I wouln't mind Left Stick = Move and Right = Aim but eh.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

From what I have, they translated the menus (which wern't translated in the orgional), the tutorials and the ending (according to it's VC page). They havn't translated the JP subtitles for the stage-prologes (but that's a non issue cuz those have english dubbing).

Just got to 2-1...god that cat thing is such a pain in the ass.

and Maybe i'm geting my right from left mixed up cuz have the flu, I use the dpad to move and I use the stick nearest to the buttons to aim, am I mixing it up?

Oh, and got DKC 2 cuz I wanted to play that again, man it's hard. But enjoyable hard.

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

oh-hoh, turnabout is fairplay, no?

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

Why not console games? It's pretty much the same reason as all other region encoded reasons. Licensing, classification labels, publishers. Although that won't matter at all if you have a PS3 since their (non-existent) games are region free.

I like how VC games aren't region free though. I mean what the fuck?

Ah well, we don't KNOW that par-cé, seeing as the option to try such a thing hasn't presented itself.

I was speaking idiomatically.

For the knock back sword thing: That is what the tutorial mode is for, it's all explained rather nicely in there.

Secondly, uh, (and this is coming from someone who's going though it in Easy mode to start with so I duno if Treasure's legendry difficulty issues are just biting you one in the ass) For 3-3 (isn't it? It's the last of lv 3 in any case, the final sword fight in lv 2 was epic though) AFIK your doing it right, shot the crap out of it (I recomend using manual mode and keepign up with it with the aim stick as genearly speeking you want to do as much damage as possible) and then keep with it and slice it wonce it gets in range.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Can someone explain what the "PAL conversion issues" are?

The short of it is that it's relitvely easy for Ninty to just go "NSTC ROMS, NAO" and just nip a problem they've had with PAL conversion in the bud but they decided they knew what was best, hence we're stuck with a nerfed up Sonic 1 and verious other issues.
Nintendo know thier audiance, and it's unfortunate there's a small few technonianthals that con't understand the importance of NSTC/60hz complyance and just want to play Fifa 97 all day.
Casual Gamers are the cancer that is killing good techincal practices.

Sin and Punsihment, cuz that doesn't HAVE a nefed PAL cart, runs full 60hz.
Nether does any of Rare's work cuz they were optimized for 50hz and all the PC Engine games were converted at runtime so they run at full speed to.

FELIPE NO

I thought the wii ran on Flash Memory.

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

At the end? I dunno about III but II could be a right bitch of a game when it came down to it.

Bramble Scramble nearly sent my Wii Classic Controller flying out the window and web woods isn't exactly the kindest mistress in SNES level design ether.

A brick wall is a brick wall all teh same, no matter how many 1ups you have.

And I'm a Megadrive/SNES gen guy.

I'm not saying ti's a game ending brick wall, it's just a brick wall untill you can crack it.
Which, giving the levels, can take a few shakes, so to speak.

I dunno, I got Super Metroid and Paper Mario. Whilst, yes, it's noticable in Paper Mario, Metroid runs smooth as all hell.

YouTube - Startropics (Wii) Letter Decoder sums up quite nicely the how what when where and why of the letter puzzle.

I couldn't remember from the original game. Or, is it crummy emulation?

Yaknow. I always wondered about that.

But RCR is as good as sold
