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

Which Madonna is it? Pointy-boobed Madonna? Leather outfit Madonna? Mother of our Savior Madonna?

Also, from now on, the goal of the Vigilante in GFF Werewolf is to save Madonna; screw killing the bad guys.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've still got my NES and a copy of Kirby's Adventure, so no need to purchase that. Kid Icarus, however, I've been waiting to purchase, so I'll download that when I get home. I'll fit in a game sometime between the Jack Bauer Double Power Hours tonight.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Since Diddy Kong Racing just came out for the DS, I'd say that's a big no.

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

Do you actually play all of them on a regular basis? If not, why not just delete some of them and download them again when you want them?

IGN says there's a glitch where Excitebike doesn't show up on the new games list. It's still under NES games and alphabetically, though.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wow, Shining in the Darkness? Talk about obscure. I remember playing that on my Nomad with a map, and still didn't finish the game. Still have the cartridge, too.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's amazing how much dreck they're trotting out without giving us the good stuff (like Mario RPG or Super Metroid). Maybe if the Wii wasn't doing so well, Nintendo would be motivated to take it up a notch.

FELIPE NO

Considering there are only a handful of truly great games for the N64, and some of those (Banjo, Goldeneye) have licensing issues, Nintendo doesn't want to let go of all their good titles at once. I'm more annoyed by wait on some of the great SNES titles.

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

You hate Megaman? That's grounds for banning.

You're just digging the hole deeper. Let me guess, the Megaman X series has only gotten better over time?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh boy, two Genesis games that have been released on virtually every console before now. Makes me want to mail my wallet to Nintendo RIGHT NOW.

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

Has anyone else had problems with glitches in Actraiser? I completed the first town (Fillmore), but it's got all sorts of graphical glitches now. There's a road not connecting to anything running through a forest, and several black squares where I assume the road to Bloodpool should be. Also, if I try to direct them to build anymore, the angel flies all the way to the right edge of the map, and I have to reset the game.

I can still play the other towns, and collect tribute in Fillmore, I just can't expand it anymore. Is this going to hold me back any, or should I start over?

I'm going to try that once I level up enough. Right now I don't have enough SP.

Kirby's Dream Course is sweet. I might have to pony up some money for some Wiipoints.

I've already got Shining Force for GBA.

That's not how I remember it.

True, but Nintendo didn't bother to resize the images, so if you're playing VC on HDTV, the game will be stretched to fit on the screen.

Most amazing jew boots

What do you mean, "what technical problems"? I told you about two of the problems I've had. In Actraiser, the first town contains a bunch of gibberish, and if I try to build further, the game freezes; using earthquake didn't solve the problem. In Kirby's Dream Course, the brightness level keeps going up and down (especially when I hit the Y button to look around the course). Neither error makes the games unplayable, but they're certainly annoying.

IGN seemed to think it was a good rip-off.

Oh wait, we're not supposed to pay attention to REVIEWS WITH NUMERICAL SCORES/IGN. I'll be in the corner flogging myself.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yoshi's Story is decent, but not worth $10. It doesn't hold a candle to the Yoshi's Island games, but there's a few songs that can get stuck in your head.

Is there any difference between Lost Levels on VC and Lost Levels that came with SM All Stars for SNES?

btw, I noticed they added tax when you purchase wii points. Damnit jews XD.

S&P reminds me a great deal of Panzer Dragoon, but with more awkward controls. It's an awesome game, but it would play a hell of a lot better with an N64 controller. The laughable voice acting alone is worth the download.

Are you talking about tax on your wii points that you bought through the Shopping Channel? I just bought some tonight for S&P, and it didn't charge me tax. Maybe it's the state you live in.

How ya doing, buddy?

Are there that many people that don't already have SMB3 on NES, GBA, or SNES? It's a good game, sure, but it's not that hard to find.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's going to be hilarious if I get NHL '08 for Christmas, after playing Blades of Steel today. GET THE PUCK!

FELIPE NO

I've never played Star Tropics and know almost nothing about it, other than people love it. Sounds like something I'll have to download.

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

I read that the code is in the "Operations Manual" on the Wii version. I can't imagine how they'd disguise it other than to say, "This is the code you need at X point in the game."
