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

It's a sidescroller and nothing like the first. I remember beating it in a rental way back when I rented for my Genesis.

Most amazing jew boots

I never liked the play control on the Megaman games, though I remember losing many afternoons to Rescue Rangers (<3 Gadget Hackwrench).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I enjoyed Megaman Legends as well as the second, and wanted to play the one with Tronn in it, but I could never find it in stores for pretty cheap (since I imagine it wasn't as good as the Legends ones).

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

Why would I play games from a series I don't like?

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?

Have you tried earthquaking? That tends to destroy stuff and makes the town rebuild so they might be able to fix up the glitches.

How ya doing, buddy?

Be sure to do it in Northwall, I think that's the one where they give you a magic scroll.

(It's also the easiest way to hit max population in all of your towns. I think I might have to go back and play my rom of it tonight now. <3)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Actraiser is one of the best games ever made for the SNES. Half the time is spent in a fairly decent platformer hacking and slashing your way through and the other half is spent in a Sim Cityish build mode where you help create towns and solve their problems.

I've probably played Actraiser more times through than just about any other game out there.

I'd have no problem forking over $20 for it if I had never played the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy games you haven't played instead of ones you don't already own? =\/

Also, Kirby's Dream Course is possibly my favorite golf game out there, though having only three 2-player courses was kinda weak (it sucked playing friends because I had all of them memorized and they wouldn't know what was going on and I'd win practically every hole). Somehow when I'd mess up in single player of that game it would piss me off more than in realer golf games.

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

Not to be hating on the VC or anything, but I've always found the easiest way to play games on my TV was to hook a laptop running an emulator up to my TV and use a USB controller converter. If you don't have a laptop and have a PC in the same room, just get a really long s-video cable. It worked great for me while at school, because I didn't want to bring out my SNES, its cables, and all of the games I own because I had such limited space, but I was able to play games just as if I had the real cartridges with me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You do realize the FF4 game he's talking about isn't a direct port. They're actually making changes and redoing quite a bit of graphics and everything.

Why the hell are we even arguing over games that you could have been emulating on your PC for the past ten years, anyway?

At least those FF ports were better than the one on the PSX.

The only posts that referenced PAL prior to this conversation (and Rock's complaining about PAL releases not having whatever junk fixed).

My point is they're avoiding releasing games on the VC solely because of the fact that they MIGHT remake them, regardless of whether they currently have plans to or not. I only use PC emulation as a last resort, I want to play games on my TV.

TV-out card? =\/

I was speaking idiomatically.

I still have my Super Scope, but it stopped working years ago.

That's actually for the Menacer, since that came with a pack of six games on a single cartridge (I don't think the SuperScope did likewise).

And, yes, I own a Menacer. And yes, I regret it.

Oh god, Blades of Steel, possibly the best hockey game ever made along with Ice Hockey. I remember spending so many afternoons on both of those games with friends (As well as Double Dribble which was released recently. How long until Base Wars or Baseball All Stars comes out?).

FELIPE NO

I remember buying Star Tropics used at a game store. It did not come with the manual. Or the map. Was just a little frustrated at that part of the game.

Or for your GBC there's Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. There was also a Tetris Attack for the gameboy, but it was terrible since you couldn't do any sort of skill chains.

(Why do I own all of these.)

How ya doing, buddy?

For anyone with Netflix and no other way of accessing online content straight to your TV, Netflix now has a Wii disk. Netflix: Rent as many movies as you want for only $8.99 a month! Free Trial

I've had it for a few days now and the interface is pretty nice. You can't search up new titles and whatnot, but you can go through a bunch of their auto-generated lists, rate movies, add/remove from you queue, and the whole thing in general is designed pretty slick. I really like how the fast forward feature shows a series of stills about 5/10 seconds apart to choose from instead of doing the fast forward...buffer...fast forward...buffer. Actually feel the method for selecting which episode to watch in a TV series is easier on the Wii than through the web browser.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I haven't had any issues with buffering yet. Sometimes it can't connect to the internet on the first try, so I just have to restart the Wii and it works fine. Starting a movie/episode usually takes about 5-10 seconds which I don't think is that terrible. It can take similar times when you're trying to skip around the episode, though, so I know it doesn't buffer way ahead in whatever you're watching.

What is cool is when you pause for more than some period of time (long enough to go to the bathroom) when you resume the movie it automatically rewinds 2-3 seconds. A great feature when the phone rings so you don't get lost in the middle of a conversation/scene.

I'm also using an old wireless G router with two walls in between and 4-9 other wireless networks I'm competing with depending on how far signals are traveling in my apartment building that day.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just a note that World of Goo is also out on the PC (and has been included in a bunch of steam bundles already). I'm not aware of any exclusives for the Wii version, either.
