[Wii] Virtual Console & WiiWare Games - Doing wonders for illegal emulation since 2007 - Page 2

I thought it was pretty funny to see R-Type III released this week despite R-Type coming out just a few weeks ago. You'd think they would add games people are begging for before they start dipping into sequels to games that are already up for download. What's next, the entire Gradius series in order?

Good news and bad news today. Bad news is, we only got 1 game in North America.

Good News?

The Game is::

YES

Perfect timing for me to get a Wii, too.

SuperSonic · Jan 22, 2007, 02:16 PM

I could live with the Virtual Console coming out with 1 game every week if the games are as good as that. GG, Nintendo!

Its moves like this that help nintendo move up in the console wars.

Hell, it was this move that actually restored my faith in Nintendo.

Now give me my MFing Mario Kart

When the fuck are they going to start supporting the N64 more? That's the one thing I can't emulate well, I think I might actually buy them from time to time.

oh shit son....

now heres a game worthy of spending rediculous Wiipoints on.

Fuck yeah sluts. The game will be nothing short of hot sex with the classic controller. They're saving of other all time classics is painful but I suppose if they released say, Super Metroid alongside Lylat Wars, Super Mario Bros 3 and 1080°, the Virtual Console servers would overload and explode.

When are third parties going to really start geting onboard though? Harvest Moon needs to be released RIGHT NOW.

I await the day when Goldeneye 007 (N64) comes out on the VC and you are able to play multiplayer online. Until then, I guess the fan-made Source version will have to do.

Sousuke · Jan 23, 2007, 08:44 PM

HELLS YES. Link to the Past will be visiting my Wii soon.

Now all Nintendo needs to do is release Mario RPG and Super Metroid. As well a few choice N64 titles. Then I'll be happy.

Next week your wish shall be granted.

Quote:

With yesterday’s Virtual Console release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past from the SNES, the library of downloadable Wii titles grows to 42. Also, next week will see the addition of an all-time favorite, Mario Kart 64.

HELL FRIGGIN' YEAH. Now onto the next step: Making this damn game playable online.

Tritoch · Jan 24, 2007, 01:53 AM

Damn, still no word on Super Metroid or Star Fox 64. Those are the two I've been waiting on since the beginning. Seeing the Joe & Mac games (especially Joe & Mac 2 for SNES) brought to the VC would also be pretty awesome, but I'm not sure how likely they are.

This week was a bit of a letdown for me since I still have Link to the Past on my SNES, but it was also nice to see NA finally get it.

Lol what's this? MAREIO CART came out on Friday in Australia? AWESOME!

I would actually spend some points on these games if they had some kind of online playable mechanism where you could play Mario Kart 64 with others. I've had 1000 points literally sitting in my account now since late November with absolutely nothing spent yet.

They really haven't given me a reason to betray emulated versions of these games yet. Especially considering most of the enjoyable Mario Kart 64 tracks are just on Mario Kart DS anyway.

RABicle · Local time: Jan 28, 2007, 07:32 PM

Well here's something. You can't have you and 3 mates sit around the computer playing a Mario Kart 64 emu.

Little Shithead · Jan 28, 2007, 11:09 AM

You haven't tried very hard then, have you.

(Pro-tip: it's quite easily possible)

Yeah if you order adapters and N64 controllers and fiddle with plugins to the point of setting it up so it'll run accurately NO.

My brother got hooked up with his Wii last week, and he bought Mario Kart yesterday. Supposedly it's awesome fun with friends. You know, like how it was on the N64 and all.

4 USB Gamepads.

Now how hard was that?
