Virtual Console Update Thread

[Figs]

That's what I don't get. If some of these no name games they've been releasing weren't good or big in the past, don't waste our time bringing them out again hoping for people to get into them more this time.

Super Turrican was awesome.

Contra + Metroid + Mega Man all rolled into one super fun action package.

Two more games I've never heard of came out this week.

It was created by Rare, I'm sure there's an issue with getting the rights cleared up.

Cruis'n USA - N64
Wonder Boy - SEGA Master System

So this is the first Master System game and it's 500 points. Not really the greatest start, but not too bad.

I am kind of torn on whether to get Cruis'n USA. I enjoyed it when I rented it back in the old days, but Midway is the same company that gave us the craptacular looking Cruis'n late last year.

cruisin usa, world, and exotica, were all great games... as were San Fransisco rush games

Fantasy Zone - SMS
Mega Turrican - GEN

Sadly, I really don't care about the Virtual Console anymore. Hopefully Wii Ware is good.

The only game I really cared about getting of the Virtual Console(Pilotwings 64) I got at a used store for $6.

Groovy! One of the most-requested Virtual Console games is now officially on the way, thanks to Interplay. And it's bringing friends! Earthworm Jim, Shiny's platform/shooting adventure about a worm in a space suit, will be released on the Virtual Console "later this year," joined by its sequel, as well as the Claymation SF2-alike Clayfighter (developed by Visual Concepts) and Boogerman (full title: Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure).

According to Gamasutra, these will be the Genesis versions of the games, which means that Earthworm Jim will include the extra "Intestinal Distress" level that was exclusive to that version.

I had the SNES version of Jim. Would love to see an updated 2-D side scroller of Jim.

Gave the list a much needed updating and added in some non-American titles for our non-American posters (if there are any )

Essentially Nintendo's answer to XBLA or the PSN. A service where original games will be released to be downloaded.

Today is the day, and it'll be great.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

nice, so i've heard pokemon ranch (or whatever it's called) was released on something like that in japan.... is that going to be how they do it in the US to? or is it a game you buy?

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's up now...and not a horrible selection.

I bought "Defend Your Castle" for 500 points, and for the cheap price, it's really fun.

Final Fantasy CC: My Life as a King and Lost Wind are also both no brainer downloads, which I'll be doing later tonight. Plus FF CC will be the first title with Downloadable content to be available later.

Um...so what's the difference between Wiiware and the Virtual Console?

They sound exactly the same.

Original games... Meaning games specifically created to be released on Wiiware.

Downloaded Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King and I'm already addicted. TV Show King is also pretty good fun.

Defend Your Castle looks like the best deal for 500 points. Try 4 player yet? Soon as I get back home, I'll download that.

I'm not downloading any games yet. My memory is going to run pretty low soon.
