Yeah there's that one Zelda game for one of the Game Boys that I never played, but now I need to. Aha, you would probably be interested to see Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! for the GB. See, if Bomberman makes it to Brawl, it can further continue the rivalry they once shared. I can see it on Bomberman's trophy or whatever: "...Despite all his intergalactic adventures, he's had problems with characters such as Wario in the past..."

I'd like to see Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble in there too. Just to see how it works.

That would require work on Nintendo's part, and as far as I've seen concerning the VC, they don't want any of that at all.

And I wonder which games will come out tomorrow.

You know, I heard that Nintendo was going to make a sequel to Kirby Tilt n' Tumble, but didn't seeing as the first one wasn't successful.

 

[Skywalker]

Same thing that I heard.

And nope, Ocarina of Time isn't in 60fps. I downloaded it today with my new online account. Sensai, I'm adding you. ^.^

 

[Sidius]

While we're on the subject... Games in FireBomb's N64 library that should be on the VC:

Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 (3 is the best imo)
Yoshi's Story
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Paper Mario
Super Smash Bros.
Mario Tennis
Zelda: Majora's Mask
F-Zero X
Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie ()

Why isn't SSB on the top of ur list?
Here's my list:
N64:
SSB
Starfox 64
Donkey Kong 64
Mario Tennis
Mario Party 1, 2, 3
SNES:
Battletoads ( awsome game )
Killer Instinct
and that's pretty much it

 

[typh]

tecmo bowl, sonic spinball, and double dungeons today.

I have Sonic Spinball already, really fun (if not interesting) game. Or, I remember it as being a fun game.

Uberedit: does anyone see Metal gear NES as a possibility?

 

[valtiel]

i hope streets of rage 2 comes out for vc or the remake at least.

 

[ti83pop]

Just got OoT. Looking forward to something I really missed out on .

 

[Mr.GAW]

Dude, it's fricken sweet. It's my first time playing as well, and you will not be dissapointed.

 

[Brawlmatt202]

Just got OoT. Looking forward to something I really missed out on .

It's an awesome game, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I missed out on it,too, when it first came out, but I have the GameCube version.

 

[Skywalker]

Is the online service working for anyone else?

My Nintendo WiFi USB adapter sends out signals perfectly, but I constantly get this error message saying that my IP address couldn't be traced. It worked fine yesterday.

 

[FireBomb]

Hm, my connection is working fine. I finally got my own connection that I can use within my own house so I'm happy.

I also own Sonic Spinball for the ol Genesis. It's fun, tho I wonder why they highlighted Tecmo Bowl on the Wii Shop main menu and not Spinball...

Hey, also don't let little cousins poke in your Wii functions. Apparently, I now have Super Mario 64 on more than one system. How do they figure these things out...? Oh well, I guess I should be happy they at least picked a good game. It WAS my first N64 experince, so maybe it's like filling a quota. Or fate.

 

[Sensai]

Skywalker, I have that problem also, only difference is that I'm using a wireless router. I don't think it makes a difference, though.

Is the error code 052030? Or something like that? If it is, you're probably going to have to access your router's page and change the channel from 6 to either 1 or 11.

I do it all the time...but yet, it still wants to **** out on me. And I'll add you back. PM me your digits!

And Sonic Spinball's a weird, quirky game. I remember it being REALLY choppy, but also incredibly difficult. I never beat it.

 

[Skywalker]

It works fine now.

I'm adding my digits back up, then.

 

[Sensai]

Splatterhouse, Beyond Oasis, and ExciteBike are the things you'll be able to pick up today.

I'm leaving for a vacation, so I won't post anything specific about any of them, except that Beyond Oasis and Splatterhouse are fan favorites, and you already know what ExciteBike is.

Beyond Oasis is Genesis
Splatterhouse is TG16
ExciteBike....seriously, GTFO.

I got the first two, having played ExciteBike to death in Animal Crossing.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Dang Sensai, it seems like you pick up at least one game every Mon.

How close are you to filling up your channels? I have 2 full pages.

So finally, Excitebike arrives. I'd get it, along with more, but I don't have any Wii Points.

 

[FireBomb]

Freaking... ugh why didn't Excitebike appear on mine? And I thought today was going to be a waste.

Beyond Oasis kinda intrigued me. I read the description and realized that the spirits name, Efreet, has been around for a long time. Those kind of Action RPGs get to me, but I can't freely get as many games as Sensai does...

 

[Mr.GAW]

For some reason it doesn't appear under newest additions.

You have to go to the NES folder, and it will be there.

 

[Zink]

Military Madness... it is indeed quite mad...
There's a lot of neat features an FE fan would appreciate, and it makes a nice step into that genre, but there isn't a whole lot of game. It's also quite difficult.

 

[Khanczar]

I really want metal gear and goldeneye... two great games I never got to play.

The only games I have now are super mario brothers (PWN) and a link to the past (also PWN.) I have 700 more points, so does anyone have a suggestion for a game?

 

[Sensai]

I pick up every other Monday or so, probably less. From the looks of things, you have more games then I do.

I have OoT, Splatterhouse, Bomberman, Dungeon Explorers, Kid Icarus, Beyond Oasis, and Gunstar.

7 games. And I think I still have 1200 or so memory....thingies. I still have $25 + left on my Wii, so I'm thinking about picking up Super Ghouls 'n' Goblins, I hear it's *****IN' hard; Actraiser, if it ever releases; and the game I mention below, if anyone knows anything about it.

In the new Nintendo Power magazine, they list Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV as being released on the Virtual Console. I've heard good things about this series, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Is it like Fire Emblem at all, or is it (and this is a stretch, thinking some of you might know what this is) like Nobonagu's Ambition II? I really like NA2, but no one's ever heard of it.

 

[Skywalker]

Kid Icarus DOES NOT stand the test of time. It's enjoyable in small bursts, but I shouldn't have spent 500 points. >.>

OoT looks much sharper on the Wii. It's a shame really, because I'm addicted to that game. Currently stuck in the

Meh... I do have more than you. It just seems like you're really enthusiastic about a lot of the games I've never heard of, I suppose I just assumed you picked those up.

I've been wrong a lot lately.

 

[Sensai]

^^

Not in my book. <3!

And I'm just excited about the games I get. I usually only get games that I know are good, or I know will be good, or I know had some type of influence in the gaming world.

And once again:

In the new Nintendo Power magazine, they list Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV as being released on the Virtual Console. I've heard good things about this series, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Is it like Fire Emblem at all, or is it (and this is a stretch, thinking some of you might know what this is) like Nobonagu's Ambition II? I really like NA2, but no one's ever heard of it.

[Edit:]

So go figure. That game I was talking about came out today. It was the ONLY game that came out today....I'll probably end up picking it up.

 

[len1]

i heard on the nintendo forums that if australians change their region to UK they get turbo grafx games added to their lineup anyone know if its true?
if it is i might change mine to uk if they get titles we dont(provided those titles are ones i want)
W00T! 255th post

 

[FireBomb]

Hmm.... So Zelda II on the NES is schedueled (can't spell) to come out soon, as well as an old favorite of mine, Vectorman. Both are pretty solid games, I hope to pick them both up eventually.

Man, they already are going to have 4 Zelda games on the VC. Either they hold off Majora's Mask for a long time, or they release it as soon as May.

 

[Sensai]

I'm just going to post my post from the actual Wii Thread concerning VC news...

Here are some VC games due out sometime soon...

Bravoman 600
Bonk's Revenge
Battle Lode Runner
Shockman 600

Below are other area's VC lists. The reason I post about European and Japanese VC is in hopes that it will be here shortly, so if you're truly not interested, then don't worry about looking.

Japanese VC games for the month of April:

Punch Out
Elevator Action
Final Soldier
Milon’s Secret Castle
Gradius 2
Ninja Gaiden
Final Fight

ALSO, a question/observation for anyone who's purchased Military Madness:

On 9. February, 2007, we released an updated version of the TurboGrafx-16 game, “Military Madness”,
which was originally released for the Wii Virtual Console on December 22, 2006.
This update was to improve some of the aspects of the game to make it even closer to the original.

Customers who have already purchased “Military Madness” for the Wii Virtual Console are able to download the updated version free of cost.
Customers are able to use their current Save Data with the updated version and will be able to continue playing where they left off.

What happened? Is there any difference at all? Or what?

[Edit:]

Oh, one more also. WalMart AND Toys 'R' Us will be having Wiis in stock this Sunday. Figured I'd include this for anyone who happens ot have not managed to grab one thus far.

It looks like every Walmart will have a minimum of 7 per store...

 

[Sandy]

No EarthBound in sight.....

[len1]

[Sensai]

RAWR!

I'm sure they'll be available soon enough.

yeah if those two come out, i'm so gonna download them i mean i beat them both a long time back but they are some of the best classics, there is a rumor that when they release goldeneye, its going to have online multiplayer, so i can hope

 

[Sensai]

^^^

Do you know how many freakin' hoops Nintendo's going to have to jump through to get Goldeneye on the VC? I wouldn't really count on it...and then online multiplayer? Pshaw!

 

[Sandy]

GoldenEye is propery of RARE so don't count on it.

 

[lonejedi]

Star Fox 64
Original Ninja Turtles
Dragon something from Turbografx came out today.

 

[TJK1997]
