YES! The only games I really want that they haven't released now are Secret of Mana and Breath of Fire 1.

Nice - I already have the original cart for Shining Force II (and have downloaded SFI on VC already). I still have a strange urge to purchase this with my leftover Wii points in a non-probable event of letting Climax know we'd like a good Shining game from them ... i.e. Shining Force IV.

Not gonna happen. They don't want any excuses to bring over Mother 3. Even at the cost of thousands of dollars of free money there is now precedent because of the success of Sin & Punishment on VC bringing about the release of its sequel.

I said what I want, not what you want. While I'm sure it's a great game, I've actually never played Earthbound. It is kinda ironic though, since they keep sticking the characters in Smash Bros.

Ah, but the ESRB has updated rating information for Earthbound, considering that it says "Wii" under Platform.











I realize I'm being naive.

Since the Wii (general) thread is dead and this is more concern about VC and WiiWare, I'll post it here.

On page 6 of Nintendo Conference Fall 2008, Iwata said they're going to make it more convenience to store VC and WiiWare games on SD card. This what believe at first that you can now directly play VC and WiiWare games off a SD card. Well it doesn't look like it!

We will also make it so that you will need to go through just one process in order to transfer Virtual Console or WiiWare software stored on an SD card to the Wii console and then be able to play it. We would like to deal with this issue utilizing two methods. Since the updates to realize these new structures will require significant revisions to the Wii system, and these changes need to be made by taking care of a variety of different angles, this method will become effective beginning next spring. For some of you, this may be considered late. But please know that we really appreciate your cooperation and understanding. We are working hard so we can begin the service as soon as possible.
So basically it's a one-click swap of VC/WiiWare. Not more storage space, just making it less pain-in-the-ass to transfer VC/WiiWare games from SD to Wii and vice versa.

Oh, I laugh at this statement:

Ozzie gets his wish:

WiiWare
World of Goo (2D Boy - 1,500 Wii Points)
Art Style: CUBELLO (Nintendo - 600 Wii Points)

Virtual Console
SECRET OF MANA (Super NES - 800 Wii Points)
STREET FIGHTER II': SPECIAL CHAMPION EDITION (Sega Genesis - 800 Wii Points)

Not a bad update at all, if you don't have SF2 on Live, or outright want SoM. When I hear goo, I think of a Boy and his Blob..

There goes me finishing Warriors Orochi 2 or Bladestorm anytime soon. I honestly never thought Secret of Mana would get released.

What? Secret of Mana? Holy god. THERE IS HOPE? FOR OTHER THINGS? (SD3 on hardware? T'would be awesome. Now if only I had a GBA flashcart so I could play Mother 3 untethered from a computer)

Oh my, Secret of Mana? Now I really need to decide whether or not I want a Wii Points card or not.

It's either that or an 360 Point card so I could get Megaman 9.

If you hurry, Wii Points cards are $12 at Toys R Us today. Yesterday too if you have a time machine! =D

I picked up World of Goo, and it's quite a bit of fun so far. Basically, you erect towers by connecting the gooballs and try to reach the pipe with enough goos remaining to meet the level goal. It's interesting compensating for gravity and building around obstacles like cogs that pop your goos. The $15 cost is a bit pricey, but apparently it was made mostly by 2 guys like Braid.

I picked up two yesterday, but I wish I'd grabbed three. I forgot about VC Secret Santa coming up, and I used up one card already for World of Goo and Fantasy Zone today. Thinking about getting Shining Force 2 too.
