Virtual Console Update Thread

[StrainedEyes]

Wiiware definitely has promise. I hope some developers utilize it well. We could get some great quirky games that make good use of the Wiimote... I wish there were demos though.

From what I see, Nintendo is putting videos of the games on the Nintendo channel so you can check them out beforehand.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

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

Yeah its pretty lame, i pretty much have enough space for 1, maybe 2 more WiiWare games (or N64 games, seeing as those take up a lot of space too), before I have to delete some crap.

I kind of wish I waited and just went with FFCC instead of Lost Winds. But oh well, Lost Winds is still pretty cool.

Nintendo should get on that memory problem, its kind of sucks balls.

Just get a memory stick/card. I just got a 1Gig and that should be ok for awhile.


Personally, these Wiiware games don't impress me...this is why we have the Gameboys for.

I would rather they spent the time porting over some good classics for a change to the Virtual Console then a lot of the crap we've been getting.

Gameboys? What does that mean. Wiiware has a lot of potential.

I'd think the gameboy statement would have to do with VC, because you can get a lot of classic games on your gameboy right now.

I have an SD Card, but how can you save the channels on it? I thought it was only your Wii game data you can save

You can store the VC games on a memory card, but you have to transfer them back onto the Wii in order to play it.

I am in love with Dr. Mario, almost like when I played it for the first time years ago.

I am a VC and Wii Ware addict.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Does anyone know why they haven't released a major title in awhile? It used to be a pretty steady stream of good games but for the past 6 months or so it's been blah.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Depends on your definition of a good title.

In my opinion they have released some great titles in the last few months.

Super Turrican being one of the better ones.

But as far as major Nintendo franchise releases, probably because they don't want them all out so quickly, plus they have been prepping Wii-Ware over the last few months.

Give it a month or so, I think we'll see something big.

I have a feeling we'll get Earthbound very soon...or at least I hope.

 

[StrainedEyes]

N64 titles especially are few and far between.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Meh, there weren't that many good ones anyways.

The only ones not to be added to the VC that I enjoyed (That I can think of) are:

Goldeneye (Not gonna happen)
WCW vs NWO (Not sure if it can happen due to licensing)
Chameleon Twist (I think that is what it was called)
Mischief Makers
Majora's Mask
Body Harvest
Shadow's of the Empire

 

[Brainiac 8]

Personally I'm more interested in getting the old NES and SNES games that I miss from my childhood...that list would be huge.

Plus Genesis held some of my favorite titles ever played.


On a side note: Hurray! I'm getting Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, Boogerman, and Clayfighters soon!

I love those games.

 

[DIRECTOR]

i would NEVER get NES, Genesis, or SNES games from VC. I WILL ONLY BUY N64 GAMES. I can easily put nes, genesis, and snes games on my hacked PSP.

I'M STILL WAITING FOR DK64

 

[Brainiac 8]

I'm against copyright theft, so hacked PSP's are no good to me.

For me it's cheaper than finding most of the original carts on Ebay or something of that nature.

They finally released Samurai Showdown on the VC.

Too bad I can't go online with my Wii anymore due to the new stupid Linksys wireless router.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Does the SD card also save your progress in Virtual Console games the way the Wii console does.

thus why i wont buy wireless routers... everytime i do.. they screw up... at least with wire, theres less room for messups.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Where is Megaman?

VC sucks anymore.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is out today!

Yeah, you can save the channels and save data on the sd cards.

Another option is to just delete the games you aren't playing at the moment and then download them again from VC later. Once you've purchased and downloaded a game, you can delete and then download it again multiple times for free.

has banjo kazooie been released on VC??

its my girlfriends fave game apparantly and for some reason...

 

[Brainiac 8]

Banjo pretty much won't be coming to VC.

I had to delete a few things for Strong Bad, but it was so worth it. That game is awesome.

Banjo is never coming to VC. It's coming out later this year on XBLA. I'm sure after the whole Goldeneye fiasco, Microsoft isn't exactly interested in being nice with Nintendo.

Actually it wasn't entirely Nintendo's fault, going by what the gentleman from Rare said a couple of weeks ago.

He said that the Bond licensing was holding the game back also, on top of that they have Brosnan's likeness in the game, so that is another hurtle.

It probably wouldn't have worked even if Nintendo said yes to the deal.
