Topic: How Many VC Games are Left until the Service Runs out?

I'm guessing there are thousands of classic games waiting to be released that were originally on several past consoles. Do you think we will see Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and GameCube games released on the Virtual Console when the next console comes out? Hell, I'd love to see the expansion of N64 games (Pokemon Stadium 1&2, the ability to save ghosts in Mario Kart 64 and unlock those extra characters in Mario Golf). Maybe they'll add computer consoles like the Apple II and ZX Spectrum.

Exactly 3,745.8742 by my calculations.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

Is the game that's 0.8742 of 1 game actually Starfox 2 for SNES?

No, Chunky...that game was actually 100% done when it was canned. It must be the English version of Mother.

Exactly. Little hard to calculate out perfectly, but that's what it came out as.

Or not, I guess. It was something or (M)other.

Hardly. They're spreading the games out and releasing duplicate titles just to make it last longer.

The Wii isn't that powerful. Even some NeoGeo games won't get released because the Wii wouldn't be able to store them.

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

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

The English version of Mother was done, too.

See, this does worry me a bit. I'm almost certain the VC will continue in some form on future Nintendo consoles, but what if one day, they did stop the service. I can already see myself rushing out to buy a mountain of points, so as to buy all the games I ever intended to, but hadn't got around to yet.

Nah, they won't stop it, surely.

Rawr!

Adam

Machu, that would be a terrible business move. What's more likely, if they do stop the service, is they'll simply stop releasing games but leave them available long after.

@PS where did you pull that number from? and does that include games that can't be released due to various reasons?

ganondwarf has always been short

I pulled the number from my custom-built Aggregate Scoring System, which complied with complete accuracy the number of remaining video games unreleased on the service if it was completely open.

In case you didn't catch that, I pulled it from my ass.

You named your butt the Aggregate Scoring System? You are setting a new bar for disturbing.

as it seems to me, the vc could get plenty of support for a few more years yet.
but it all depends on whether or not 3rd party publishers are going to let nintendo put thier games up on the vc service.
thing is, there are so many gems out there that aren`t available yet (just check out the many "what vc games do you want threads), and i just hope these games eventually get released on the vc.

Not quite...it was lacking in "finished product" polish. It still bugs me to this day that they were SO close to done and cancelled it. I don't think anybody should EVER do that! Same with Starfox 2. Freaking annoying, to say the least.

They'll probably end support for Wiis and start focusing on support for the new console.
