Topic: Has Nintendo forgotten VC lately?

Look I know they are still focusing on VC but really like we still don't know the reason why Nintendo puts GBA on Wii U and like why not SNES on 3DS? And then it takes so long to announce stuff like the release of Ducktales and so on........?

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

Why does this constitute as "forgotten"? Your argument makes no sense.

Also, Ducktales isn't coming to Virtual Console, so I have no idea what you're referring to there

Doesent stuff like ducktales be a licencing minefield for Nintedy?

Ducktales was a remake, the original has never been on VC. I've said many times (including in emails to Nintendo and in Club Nintendo surveys) that Nintendo is flushing money down the toilet by neglecting their eshops of VC content. People want Nintendo on mobile yet they can't even get the stuff out quickly on their actual consoles. Wii has superior eshop to WiiU, I understand the extra features take time to incorporate but come on Nintendo. Your public waits to be milked dry!

My other Switch is a WiiU.

Don't think there has ever been something from Disney that has been rereleased like that (Not a remake). I suspect that Star Wars games on VC won't be put on to the WIi U one.

It has been stated that Ducktales games aren't coming to the VC. To be honest if they did there would be no reason for anyone to buy Ducktales Remastered, unless they enjoyed being interrupted by boring cut scenes throughout the gameplay.

As for the VC - Nintendo have never given it their all, and they never will. Even simple things like giving people the obviously popular Pokémon games for the GB/GBC, GBA or SNES games, or a regular sale once in a while, haven't been provided.

I think Nintendo just don't put their good programmers or a decent number of them on VC which is why it moves so slowly and doesn't offer newer consoles, they are always hinting at "technical hurdles to overcome" behind the scenes with it. Yet hobbyist programmers (not meaning to put them down as emulation is one of the harder things to do in programming) are able to emulate their consoles on lesser PC hardware than the Wii U with the better features than Nintendo offers.

Natsume will be releasing the second river king and harvest moon GBC games soon. Along with "a special surprise" according to their tumblr.

A Lufia game too, I think.

Has Japan really not gotten a new 3DS VC game since May?

Yep, unless you count Sega's 3D classics.

Strange they went to all the effort for the PC Engine emulator and then put basically nothing on it.

Nintendo of America has released a grand total of 3 first party VC games on the Wii U in the last 18 weeks, and one of them was Donkey Kong Jr. Math.

Yes, they have.

They should outsource it. Get it dealt with by either M2 or D4 Enterprise. (Then it can be done in such a way that any additional games is no effort). Or the guys doing NES remix (The emulator they have at least has decent colours).

Why don't you have a Wii and download SNES and GBA games on there?

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

Because having to reboot into Wii mode to play and then having to reboot back into U mode for something else is a royal pain in the rear that I don't want to deal with more than necessary.

I can only assume that Nintendo don't want the VC games to over shqdow the indie games. Just look how things took a dive once WiiWare became a reality.

I don't understand why Game Boy games aren't the lowest price cost. Why are some new indie game less than a emulated GB game?

Exactly. I know Nintendo needs to pay to keep the service running, but comparatively it just makes the prices look stupid. I also don't buy the theory that they're doing it to keep indie games selling. It's not their responsibility to sell other peoples games and I hardly think the sales of old retro games are going to cannibalise those of indie ones to a significant degree. Indie devs aren't going to avoid a platform just because retro games are for sale on it - that's ridiculous.

They have an entire of N64, GC and lets not forget DS games, so once they sort out their 1st party release schedule over the next few months, we should start to see some real gems appear.
