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

This week on Virtual Console US (10/15/07):

Gate of Thunder (TG16)
Metal Marines (SNES)
Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos (NES)

Awesome, Ninja Gaiden II was without a doubt the best of the trilogy on NES.

FELIPE NO

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

Yeah, I don't know what's worse. That or the fact that their answer to their forum being gone is "Make your own forum!"

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, no excuses. You've never played it before, big deal. No one has. Who had a TG-CD, I mean honestly. Buy it anyway. What's the point of only buying games you've already played.

YouTube Video

Decent graphics, solid gameplay, and OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK

I am not even entertaining "I don't like shmups" as an excuse.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Looks amazing (reminds me of the Zero Wing (character) design, but hey, it was 16 bit). If MD Thunderforce IV: Lightning Force makes it on the VC anytime this millennium Ill pick both of these games up for some horizontal shump goodnes.

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

SPOILERS!

Hawk and Esty have
destroyed Don Jingi and
his OBERON units. along
with their starship.

The galaxy will never
agein be terrorized by
the OBERON soldiers.

GATE OF THUNDER :creditsroll:

ENTER YOUR NAME :nameentry: CHV

At 9am Pacific, North American gamers will get a chance to download Golden Axe III for the Genesis, Ninja JajaMaru-kun for the NES (never released outside of Japan!) and Lunar Pool for the NES through the Wii’s Virtual Console.

Okay, we get it, you want us to still download Golden Axe, now leave us alone and release some SNES games and more imports. You've got 1 of the 2 right, Nintendo.

How ya doing, buddy?

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)

No, I didn't notice that I didn't post last week, on the 22nd.

Damn, I don't know how I didn't notice that. I think when I saw you quoting, I had assumed it was something earlier in the thread.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember playing Magician Lord way back. Might actually get that one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Am I reading this correctly?

This week is a special week for the virtual console, with one of the most famous Mario Bros. games being released. This week we get finally get to have Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Nintendo, Alien Soldier for the Sega, and Power Gold for the TurboGrafx-16.

Is that right? Because if it is, Nintendo wins at life.

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.

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

You do realize it also says ALIEN SOLDIER, right?

How ya doing, buddy?

I do, but Super Mario Bros. 3 is just that damn good.

And no, I don't own the game on any console it was released for.

That and I've never heard of Alien Soldier.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, just so you know, Alien Soldier is that damn good.

VISUALSHOCK! SPEEDSHOCK! SOUNDSHOCK!

NOW IS TIME TO THE 68000 HEART ON FIRE!

ALIEN SOLDIER

Wikipedia saves the day!

I'm fucking thrilled about Alien Soldier though. I fucking hope I have the money to get this when VC updates.

EDIT: I can't find any information on Power Gold though, I just keep getting links to the Nov 5 updates. XD

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

So with most of the good NES games that can be put on Virtual Console BY NINTENDO out of the way besides Star Tropics and Mother I hope Nintendo can end its terrible fetish with the NES and get some fucking good SNES games out. Seriously. This shit must end.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Everyone says Alien Soldier is the greatest game evar, so what am I missing? I tried it once, and the horrid controls put me off it forever. I spent most of the time stumbling around getting shot a lot as I fumbled with the control scheme and trying to switch between weapons in an efficient manner.

Most amazing jew boots

The only thing memorable about Alien Soldier is that it was played quite frequently back in HS on emulators and not only being a fast as hell game, later I find out it's by Treasure so I guess it cant be half bad (I am debating on getting this, since I have the Treasure Box for the PS2) but since I don't give two shits about the story at hand I guess I can spend my points on SMB3 so I can try out some speedruns or something.

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

For anyone who cares, the TG16 game is Power Golf. I can't believe Nintendo released Super Mario Bros. 3, I thought they would've waited at least another year or two but since Mario Galaxy is around the corner I guess it isn't that surprising.

Sonic, remember too that SMB3 will also help hype Super Mario Galaxy like they did with Metroid.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Biggest disappointment ever. I actually thought Power Gold was some cool game that I never heard of before. Sucks that I was hyped over a Golf game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Alien Soldier and Super Mario Borters 3? Too bad they're going up against 1989 GOTY Power Golf.

I have it for NES, but my NES is a miserable pile of blinking screens. And the GBA and Mario All-Stars version lose their charm with their fancy Silicon Graphics and orchestrated music.
