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

It's funny...

I bought Metroid 3 on the VC expecting the same great game I played and loved on the SNES.
But I just can't stop thinking that the GBA's Zero Mission is way better. I don't know what it is. Until this point in time, I used to hold Metroid 3 in the highest regard of the Metroid-verse, and now it's a close second to Zero Mission.

Maybe I'm having difficulty in having fun because I'm using the GC controller? I guess I'll try using my PS2-to-GC adapter and hook a real controller up and see how that feels.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Rock, are you sure it's the sound emulation that's poor? As I remember it, the SNES had a limited number of audio channels (8 wasn't it?) in the first place. So maybe, just maybe, it's the fact that a lot of times developers tried to squeeze multiple sounds on the same channel and wound up canceling certain sounds out.
For instance it happens on Metroid 3 on the SNES: The music gets canceled out by ambient sounds every so often. And it happens again on the VC version.

What I'm waiting on is some Mega Man X action. Who else wants an X pack triple drop of pure awesome one Monday afternoon? It'd make my week. (and my wallet $24 lighter)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Play Action Football?
I wonder if the team rosters are updated. lolz

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

If I wasn't buying Zelda this week and The Orange Box next week, I'd scoop up that Sin & Punishment like it was a chocolate covered candy concoction of flavorly goodness.

Any word on if S&P is a limited release thing? I don't want to see it go before I have a chance to nab it.

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

Hey where's the weekly update? sheesh...

*Castlevania® II Simon's Quest (NES®, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Fantasy Violence, 500 Wii Points)

*SAMURAI-GHOST™ (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older - Animated Blood and Violence, 600 Wii Points)

*MAGICIAN LORD (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen - Blood and Fantasy Violence, 900 Wii Points)


Kinda cool Halloween update I s'pose.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Why are you guys ragging on Elixir for being upset over this week's VC releases?
It's not like Blades of Steel makes up for last year's killer 5 game lineup of awesomeness anyway.
I mean, what the hell. I was at least hoping for a killer app from each system in the VC's repertoire.

Most amazing jew boots

Was Super R-Type the one with all of that "hard rock music" that they kept bragging about in the instruction book?

FELIPE NO

I wish I knew that before buying the game on Wii. Oh well. It's still fun and worth the price.

Then again...I'll probably buy the rest of the season through TTG's website if the demo runs well enough on my dilapidated computer.

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