Klonoa: Empire Of Dreams

This just got through the Australian classification board along with Mr Driller 2. The fact that games like that are being rated basically takes away all of my reservations I might have had.

Awesome, I can't wait to download it.

I mean the only reason we had inferior ports of Mario Bros. and the Donkey Kong games in the first place was because of hardware limitations that no longer exist, so why even bother with the NES versions

Mario Bros. got two NES ports. The improved version was a PAL-exclusive release (1993 "Classic Serie" edition), yet Nintendo still keeps releasing the older international version (1983).

There's only a couple of examples of arcade ports I think have some legit nostalgia due to their quirky differences I can think of: Asteroids and Space Invaders on the Atari 2600 - both playable and different in appearance/sound due to system limitations. I can't see why anyone would feel any nostalgia for a reasonably spot-on port of Donkey Kong that's missing a stage. Just bizarre!

Nintendo added in the missing stage to the NES version, but that version has only been released through a couple promotions.

That I would potentially buy, but I'd really just rather have the real deal. NES Mario Bros. is different enough from the arcade that I'd rather play it on MAME instead. What's up with Nintendo and their arcade games? Why do they pretend that they don't exist?

I want pokemon leafgreen/firered on virtual console so bad. Not so much ruby/sapphire because I still have sapphire for my gba.

Along with the Nintendo Classics, I would like to see Doom, Speedball 2, Desert Strike (no chance, but this is a wish list), Sega Arcade Classics (this had Outrun), and Final Fight (this was better than the SNES Version, as it had the missing Industrial Level and Guy, with unlockable SF2 Alpha Cody/Guy)

Watch them localize and release Mother 3 on Wii U Virtual Console. That'd probably be their most effective system seller.

I'd love to get Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow through this somehow.

Agreed, a localized Mother 3 on Wii U would be great. They made such a big deal out of Earthbound on Wii U last year (and rightly so), and I doubt ANYONE expected that announcement, so who knows? I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to do something else with the Mother series. But seeing as how little funding and attention Nintendo has given the Wii U VC as of late, things sorta look bleak.

Games I'm playing: Hotline Miami 2, Smash Wii U, GTA V, Dying Light, Resogun

Recently completed games: Hotline Miami, P.T., Shovel Knight

Games I want soon: Zelda U, The Witcher 3, Axiom Verge, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture

I predict the GBA games will be $10 a piece. Just a guess.

@WebHead I'm going to say $8. GBA games are pretty much on par with SNES tech. Not really sure what determines price, though...

Nintendo determines the price

Well, yeah, but I mean, how they come to a conclusion on what the price should be. Like, what the determining factor is for them.

How much they think they can get.
(it's why Genesis VC games are cheaper in Japan, the console wasn't nearly as popular as it was in other regions)

I really want Sigma Star Saga to come to VC. I really enjoyed that game and felt it needed to be on a bigger screen. Plus I hope they will fix it so you can actually beat it lol

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Video of GBA games running on the VC are up. Here's one of them:

Two things.
1. The emulation looks decent, the colours are a bit washed out but I'm not going to read into that. Because youtube.
2. Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World..... why?

I really like that trailer reminds me of the ones for nes remix.

Something about the footage seems off it looks like there's a dark filter over the screen like in the original GBA.

WAT!
