Re: Wii Virtual Console Details

I just had to buy Bubble Bobble.
I love this game, endless hours of enjoyment for $5

Did anyone buy King of Fighters 94 yet?
Has anyone ever played it before?
Is it worth the $9?

NEWS!

The Sega Master System and the Game Gear will be appearing soon on the VC!

We can only hope that they'll drop the Saturn on there one of these days, and would the Dreamcast be too much to ask?

I'm sure they did...I just can't think of any at the moment. I guess we'll see. It's a system that I never owned and I think I had only 1 friend who had one, so I never had a whole lot of exposure to it.

Re: Wii Virtual Console Details

I know it's called the virtual CONSOLE, but I'd love to see some authentic arcade games added. The NES version of Galaga, while decent, doesn't compare to the original.

Commodore 64 knocking down Virtual Console door - News at GameSpot

Quote:
Commodore 64 fans have been teased with the idea of the vintage gaming experiences of their younger years replicated on the Wii for a while now. In 2006, System 3 first confirmed its plans to remake Epyx Games classics like California Games and Impossible Mission for Nintendo's latest console.

While those projects haven't materialized on the Wii yet, the 1982 home computer is getting another crack at contemporary audiences as Nintendo today confirmed that original C64 titles will be debuting soon on the system's European Virtual Console downloadable game service.

Commodore 64 games will share the same prices as most Nintendo Entertainment System games on the Virtual Console, clocking in at 500 Wii points ($5). The first wave of titles to appear on the service will include Uridium and International Karate, and Commodore Gaming is promising that more titles from the legacy system's library of more than 4,000 games will be added to the Virtual Console on a regular basis.

SNES - Super Turrican

Again with the minimal release schedule. Only one game. At this rate, I'll be 150 before all the games come out.

Never even herd of this game.
Looks like I'll have to Google it.

I'm betting next week they're going to release Smash Bros?

I'll take that bet...YOU LOSE! It would make sense, but instead we get 2 import games that nobody in the US has heard of. So as an added bonus this week, I'll add some descriptions for these games. At very least, you get to say fun things like "Doki Doki".

SNES - DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure

This is an action game where an energetic boy named Milon sets off on a great adventure in a cute fairy-tale world. Piccolo is a village in the country of Fantasia. One day, they hear from the fairy Alis that songs and music have disappeared from the forest. Suddenly, the wizard Amon appears, grabs Alis and vanishes with her. The brave Milon must now go on a journey to rescue his kidnapped friend, with his bubble shooter as his only weapon. Along the way, he'll need to retrieve five legendary instruments and stars by defeating Amon's minions. Get ready to enjoy the fun and comical action of this charming game.

GEN - Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu

The object of this head-to-head puzzle game is to clear your grid of falling patterns called puyos by forming chains of four or more same-colored puyos in a straight line or one of several geometric patterns. What makes this a challenging two-player contest is the fact that when you clear a chain of puyos from your grid, it drops a random piece of filler onto your opponent's grid. The more puyos you clear, the more you fill your opponent's grid, and if you can clutter up his grid enough to fill it to the top, you've won the game. An intriguing backstory makes this an amusing experience for one or two players.

Actually River City Ransom is pretty fun. It's kinda like Double Dragon in that it's level based street brawl, but it's characters are a bit more cartoony and reactionary, ala Legend of the Mystical Ninja.

Re: Wii Virtual Console Details

While it's not Virtual Console in the strictest sense of the word, I think I'll incorporate Wii Ware titles into this forum as well. So far, I don't think any VC console games came out this week, as Wii Ware launched, but I'll keep you updated:

Wii Ware games released are as follows:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a king
Lost Winds
TV Show King
VIP Casino: Blackjack
Defend Your Castle
POP

Re: Wii Virtual Console Details

This is nice.
It looks like this is their attempt at what Playstation 3 does with games like
Pikeljunk Monsters and Echochrome.

Defend your Castle looks like simple fun.
and if you have three friends, the TV Show King looks like fun.

and NOPE. no VC games this week

Re: Wii Virtual Console Details

I will probably take the plunge on Lost Winds after reading several favorable reviews. I was considering the FF game too, but since you need to purchase several add-on packs to play the entire game, it kind of defeats the purpose of it being "Wii-ware" IMO. The casino poker sim looks pretty polished, too. So, I may pick that one up somewhere down the line...
