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

One thing that many just fail to understand is that Nintendo doesn't have the right to publish all third party games. Just because they appeared on a N-console it doesn't mean that they are able to sell them on VC. They need special permission for that.

I think most of you know that already, but I get the impression that not everyone seems to realize it.

So we can't hold out hope that Squeenix might deign to give us Terranigma? I mean, a man CAN hope.

You can hope all you want. In the meantime, however, I'll be playing the original. Enjoy your hope!

From what I understand, games are being released like they originally were. Which means no Terranigma for America and no Chrono Trigger for Europe. Or Earthbound for that matter.

Man, this makes me wish I had of imported a Wii. We STILL don't have Super Paper Mario, and I wouldn't even need a step down transformer, due to it's external power supply. Oh well, I have Kororinpa to amuse me with.

Might happen with some titles (Terranigma), who knows. Probably not because lol Nintendo, but hey. I mean, TG-16 games are going to start appearing on the Aussie/Kiwi VC service next month, despite the system never getting released all those years ago. But then, if Square couldn't be arsed translating Chrono Trigger for the SNES and AGAIN for the PSone, there's probably no hope of Europe ever getting it.

VC fails until it gets Pilotwings 64 anyway. :cool smiley:

Elixir:

Yeah, that's also a limit, but since N doesn't own the license for Terranigma I find it nigh likely to happen, even in Europe. Of course, it's not one of those games that SE seems to think that highly of, so who knows. Maybe they'll release it for Eur, Aus and Jap at least. I highly doubt it, though.

Infernal Monkey:

Again, it's not ultimately up to Nintendo, and it's so much more than just localization and determining maturity levels. Chrono Trigger is still such an important title for SE, it's unlikely that N will get the permission to put it on VC. The same goes for, if not more so, the FFs.

I'm still positive that there will be more great titles for VC, just don't get your hopes up on one day finding those top third party titles. Then again, who knows?

There's a road not connecting to anything running through a forest, and several black squares where I assume the road to Bloodpool should be. Also, if I try to direct them to build anymore, the angel flies all the way to the right edge of the map, and I have to reset the game.

I can still play the other towns, and collect tribute in Fillmore, I just can't expand it anymore. Is this going to hold me back any, or should I start over?

Have you tried earthquaking? That tends to destroy stuff and makes the town rebuild so they might be able to fix up the glitches.

I'm going to try that once I level up enough. Right now I don't have enough SP.

Be sure to do it in Northwall, I think that's the one where they give you a magic scroll.

(It's also the easiest way to hit max population in all of your towns. I think I might have to go back and play my rom of it tonight now. <3)

This week on Virtual Console US (6/18):

Bloody Wolf (TG16)
NES Open Tournament Golf (NES)
World Sports Competition (TG16)

Looks like shit to me...maybe not NES Open, I might try it when I get more points.

Bloody Wolf's appeal is boosted by shitty competition. This is a once a freaking week thing Nintendo. Can you at the very fucking least give us 3 QUALITY titles a week? Spread as much buttery bullshit titles on the side all you want after that.

Bloody Wolf is fun.

Additional Spam:
Well, when it's not hit by massive slowdown.

(which actually can help in the really hard areas)

NES Open is actually quite good as well.

Old sport titles besides perhaps Mario Tennis for N64 don't interest me at all. I mean sure if they were like a dollar but they really need to rethink their points system if they want my money for certain NES titles. Yeah, yeah, it's all profit to them but 5 bucks is 5 bucks to me and I'd like to spend it on something consistently each week that I think is worthwhile. They need to stop with the constant crap.

My theory is that they can't stop since they only have crap to choose from in the first place. The only games that are approved by the third parties are the games they don't need anymore. There may be rare exceptions but, let's face it, VC isn't what we expected it to be. Hell, I'm pretty sure it isn't what Nintendo expected it to be either!

Ok so I never really thought about it but what do I do when I run out of memory blocks from downloading too many VC games?

ALSO Sonic 2 is awesome but it's a lot shorter than I remember it being

I think you can store VC games on SD cards (though they'll still only play on your Wii), but it's probably simpler to just delete them and redownload them when you feel like it.

Unless it's changed via a recent update moving a VC as small as Donkey Kong for NES to an SD card takes fucking forever. I recommend just deleting titles you don't play as much and when you feel like it redownloading them. I might test the SD card thing myself but seriously I watched a video for moving Donkey Kong to an SD card and it took 2 minutes. That's retarded. You can't even play it from the SD card. I don't know what they plan on doing when VC titles start getting as big as 200 mb. They better as fuck start supporting external harddrives that you can play downloaded games from. Yeah sure, there will be a bunch of authentication nonsense to make sure you didn't just grab the games from the Internet but this needs to be done. Especially if they're gonna get original games or CD-based system games like Saturn or later TG games or hell those huge honking Neo Geo cartridges.

I switch VC titles out to the SD card and back alot and it has yet to take 2 minutes for a switch.

It takes a about a minute for a Genesis game to copy over and even less for NES titles.

For serious? I'm glad it's not two minutes anymore but it should still be practically instantaneous. I don't get why it even takes that lo
