Topic: What free NES game will you get?

@brooks83: Yep, I remember you mentioning that before on the game page/review or something and that actually helped me decide not to get it originally.
How are they poorly-mapped? Does the CC help?

I was originally going to get Lolo 2 but I decided on Final Fantasy instead, having never played it before. So far I'm enjoying it a lot! I just made it to the second town (barely alive), and I can totally see how the series got so popular all those years ago. My only real gripe is that a lot of stuff isn't really explained to you in-game, so I have to consult an FAQ to see what each item and spell does and what types of weapons and armor my characters can equip.

lol its hard i'm still confused on how the magic sytem works i need a guide lol

The controls are mapped ok, it's just if I remember correctly jumping is harder than it should be. It seems like there was a weird lag, like it would take a second before it actually jumped after you pushed the button. I will play the game again here in a bit to see what all was wrong with the controls, it's been a while since I played it.

I got Super C cuz of its awesome multiplayer.

I got Castelvania but I'm extremely pissed off because I've just realised it's not compatible with the component cables so I can't even play it!!! DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

i still haven't picked my game
i am stuck with final fantasy, river city ransom, star tropics 2

I also haven't picked it but I'm almost sure to get Punch-Out. Was more leaning to Kid Icarus, but I don't want the same problems as madgear had with Castlevania.

I've gotten Punch-Out!! for the NES. The Wii Component Cable Interlaced Mode convinced me to get this game instead of Kid Icarus. But it is very inconvient that Nintendo can't patch all the games up properly. I don't think that it would be that difficult.

Yeah it definately isn't that difficult. I mean if I play a NES or Megadrive game on a GameCube disc they work fine through the component cables (such as the Zelda collection or the Sonic Mega Collection). I reckon a simple Wii update would fix it. I now have 2 VC games I can't play - Castlevania and Toejam and Earl. I only got it because it didn't have the usual "non compatible with component cables" warning on the free NES game download so assumed it was compatible. I'm so gutted.

For me, only Comix Zone doesn't work.

I do have similair problems with the Zelda Collection. I have the pack with Zelda, Zelda II, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and with the NES games I get the same problems. But in the Collection pack, there is no way I can activate the Wii Component Cable Interlaced Mode because I only have the Gamecube controller. What am I doing wrong?
