Virtual Console Update Thread

[Spidey-Bat]

I got around to updating the list on the main page for the first time in 2 months.

 

[Roughneck]

I bought a Classic Controller and DLed Super Metroid......then played for 6.5 hrs

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I did the same thing. I had to get a Classic Controller for Super Metroid. Also works well for Donkey Kong Country.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I like the classic controller. the joystick is a little too high i think, but the layout is all good. It works well with N64 games.

 

[Telekinetic]

do we have super smash brothers available yet? havent checked in a long time


i think we'll get it when brawl comes out

 

[StrainedEyes]

Not yet, N64 additions to VC are few and far between. The last being Kirby 64.

 

[Shifty]

I'd expect Brawl on Monday or the 10th.

 

[Telekinetic]

Retailers are actually selling it on the 9th, a sunday

And the VC has their releases on Mondays so the 3rd or 10th for the original.

But you said "I'd expect Brawl on Monday or the 10th" Brawl is the name of the new Smash Bros., hence your confusing Telekinetic.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Why did Megaman get released in Europe and not in the US?

Yes I see that know, meant Smash Bros.

Haven't downloaded a game since Mario Bros. 3, the Wii Ware games can't get here fast enough 'cause Nintendo likes pilling on the obscure crap.

We need to make a petition demanding Nintendo manufacture GC controllers.

I really don't understand why they stopped selling the Wavebird when they knew they had a wireless system coming out that plays GC games.

I'd buy a GC controller that attaches to the Wiimote.

After getting my Wii's connection working again I went on a Mario downloading binge and downloaded Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 1-3. It's awesome seeing all five NES Mario games on my screen

Oh yeah, I have Starfox 64 too, forgot. What an awesome game.

I downloaded Donkey Kong Country but got rid of it once I realized it isn't as fun as I remember it.

I'm with you actually, it's much more frustrating than I remembered...with cheap drops throughout.

I am a Mario ****e though, I love that portly plumber.

I always remembered the damn mine car being a pain, but when I was playing again recently it was just really insane and full of cheap tricks.

It's sad, but I was stuck on the snow level for the longest time where you have to blast through the many barrels, and for the life of me, I just could not get through that level until much much later. I remember blowing through it when it first came out.

You can plow through DKC in no time but that's the one level that will hold you up. There is a shortcut that avoids most of the barrels.

One game this week. Super Turrican

[YT]zTQUoJ1lAOA[/YT]

Japan didn't get Smash Bros. so maybe we won't get it for the VC. Still one game?

 

[StrainedEyes]

I keep hoping that they'll have something big, because there hasn't been a high profile release in awhile.. But I'm always disappointed by games I've never heard of.
