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

Ouch...USA is seriously getting the mega shaft. I mean come on...TWO SNES games? TWO! WTF is that?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've read rumors that theres a good chance Mario Kart 64 will be in the next release

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sega Announcement

Sega has announced the release dates for 3 games in NA

Bonanza Bros. Comix Zone and Gain Ground will all be out on January 22, 2007

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

Its moves like this that help nintendo move up in the console wars.

Hell, it was this move that actually restored my faith in Nintendo.

Now give me my MFing Mario Kart

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

This week was kind of weak for me as far as VC releases go...I guess part of that is the fact that I already have Ocarina of Time for game cube.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This makes me wonder, all the good games came out after the new year which leads me to thinking...

Everyone at Nintendo had REALLY hard hangovers and released good games and now they're beginning to sober up and resuming to screw over a huge game market in the US

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd like the original Perfect Dark...like that'd ever happen

FELIPE NO

I don't know if thats true...Wii is supposed to be getting Neo Geo games so ya never know.

If they were smart they'd relase SSB

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

I don't know, I think if there is a big enough uproar nintendo would release them...unless you know..they're one of those companies that don't want to make any money

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But one can still hope....

To now disprove this,

Battle Lode Runner is set to release for sometime this month, Battle Lode Runner was NOT released in the US but only released in Japan

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just went on WiiShop today and found out that Final Fight in on VC! HELL YEAHS!

How ya doing, buddy?

Also with the release of DKC2, theres hope that Perfect Dark will be released as well as Goldeneye

How ya doing, buddy?

I guess you're right but its going to be like trying to push a rock and a house, I'm positive Nintendo wouldn't allow Microsoft to release Goldeneye and I don't know if Microsoft would let Nintendo release Goldeneye

I was speaking idiomatically.

Part of me thinks that 64 would be the hardest to port for the classic controller thing

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Every title is hindered by this limit (and thus plays only at that irritatingly slow pace, with black borders), except Turbografx games which are the only ones to output correctly in 480i/480p.

It would only take a firmware update to enable Progressive Scan and 60Hz smoothness for PAL consumers as well.
I really wonder if Nintendo even noticed this flaw.

I think Nintendo has even stated that thats what was going to happen

#1 They don't want the VC to overshadow Wii software sales. If they roll out all of the A+ titles people will just be content playing their mound of 5 and $10 titles.

#2 Saturation. The way that the current titles are rolled out they're more of an impulse buy. 5-$10 a week doesn't seem like much. If everything were to be posted up from the outlet people would be much more conscious of spending $100 or more in one chunk.

#3 Lastly with Nintendo eeking out the games some of the B and C titles are likely to be purchased. A game like Kung-Fu (don't know if it's an actual title) is more likely to be seen as a novelty pickup for the week. If it were up against all the Marios, Zeldas, Castlevanias etc, it would be easily overlooked.

As a long-term strategy I believe Nintendo is correct.

I agree too, alot of the younger kids who have the Wii grew up on stuff like Mario 64 or SSB, not things like Super Mario Bros 3 and stuff.

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

Well, you have to take into consideration that now, in the 7th Generation Systems, with the exception of X360, companies can now take a huge advantage with the motion sensing and what not. Its not like the old days where they coded things into buttons

Again, they did release Battle Lode Runner which was only released in Japan

Essentially its 1 cent per point so...

An N64 game costs 1000 points thus making it 10 bucks

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

I want my fucking WAVERACE!

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

I'm extremely interested to see how they'll do duck hunt

Nintendo should do a mega huge release either on September 23rd or November 19th for the US

Then explain FF6, FF3, FF1&2 etc...why didn't those take a long as time?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I could see a huge metorid plaster. They release the metroid game for wii...then all of a sudden, all kinds of metroid games come out for VC...

then...Nintendo drops the ball again

How ya doing, buddy?

For me...VC has kind of been fluxing with its high and low points. More low than high. But I agree that they need to do something about save states and what not.
