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

Oh shit, I'd buy those without question. Garou comes to mind when you said Last Blade 2.

The fighters would be perfect for the Wii Classic Controller since they're 4 buttons, not 6.

Since I never got the GC Ocarina of Time, this is nice, especially with no disks, but my Wii is full, short of a little space for save files. I really need a hard drive with it.

oh hey guys...

Finally got around to updating the first post of this thread. Sorry for the lack of updating it. I added all current releases, and future releases for USA only. Enjoy, and sorry again for not doing this sooner

Well, get ready to change it again. As today brings us:

Elevator Action (NES)
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts(SNES)
Sword of Vermillion (Sega Genesis)

I've never played any but Ghouls 'n Ghosts, which was a pretty fun game. Not high on my list now, though.

Wow, way cool. I might plop down 20 points in the next week or so and pick up either DKC/Super Ghouls & Ghosts or DCK/Castlevania 4...

The only thing holding me back from SG&G possibly is that there isn't a save feature iirc. That was a very, very unforgiving game, so lack of save feature would have a big impact for me.

This week on the Virtual Console:

Tecmo Bowl (NES)
Sonic Spinball (Genesis)
Double Dungeons (TurboGrafx-16)

Taken from Gamespot:

Quote:

Tecmo's humbly named Tecmo Bowl didn't carry an NFL license, but that didn't stop it from creating a game with thinly veiled stand-ins for the league's biggest teams. The NES game originally had an NFL Players Association license that let gamers storm the field with legends like Walter Payton, Bo Jackson, and Lawrence Taylor. However, all the players' names have been stripped from the Virtual Console edition and replaced with their jersey numbers.

Understandable, but a shame since Bo Jackson was one of the few players I knew from that game (I wasn't big on football back then). He scored the most touchdowns for me.

What? They couldn't have done a deal with EA like Konami did a deal with Ubisoft for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game? Kind of lame.

wherds my mother fucking mario rpg.

Is there any reason why nintendo isnt including old gameboy games on the VC? I wouldn't mind paing $2 for Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins.

I imagine they'd start doing that in a year or so when they've exausted a good deal of their hit titles. Right now they're having trouble enough getting out their nes, snes, and n64 stuff. I was initially really expecting 3 to 5 good titles or more a week from Nintendo. This single release thing needs to freaking stop.

Frankly I think Nintendo's going at a fine pace with their releases. Yes it would be nice if all the good games came out right away but there's already enough stuff there to keep you busy for a long time. Plus, if Zelda 64, Goldeneye 64, Mario 64 and the original Smash Bros. all came out on the same day, their servers would implode.

Is Goldeneye 64 going to come out? Rare developed it, and most of their titles aren't going to be on the VC, but wasn't there something about the movie licensing that made it seem possible that they could release it?

From what I can gather, Rare is under Microsoft. Activision holds the current Bond video game licences. And MGM studios (part owned by Sony lol) hold the Bond movie rights.

And that means a lot of good N64 games won't be released on VC, since Rare is under Microsoft.

It sucks because I really want to play Jet Force Gemini on VC. Guess I'll just hold out for Mischief Makers though.

Jet Force would be pretty nice with a steady, non-nightmare frame rate for once~. I think the only Rare N64 game that'll appear on the VC will be the BIG SIGH game, Donkey Kong 64. Oh wait, and Diddy Kong Racing. Maybe?

Since Diddy Kong Racing just came out for the DS, I'd say that's a big no.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. 'Donkey Kong 64 DS Touch! The DK Rap Special Edition' comin' like what.

And it sucked. Hard. So there's no reason why it shouldn't come out in 2009.

Rare are just unredictable now. Viva Pinata. VC's N64 list will suck without their titles.
