Video Previews for Virtual Console

Awesome. I hope NoE do something similar in the future.

Good stuff. Nice to know where to get a little look at any games I don't know. Move in the right direction at least.

Think that first sentence should read '...have NOT embraced' by the by...

tennant this is nintendo of europe your talking about,no chance. hey people of the vc site (yup,all of you) can you start updating the out now/coming soon lists to include japanese vc releases? thanks.

Its good, but its a shame its only for the US

Awesome,should make buying games I've never heard of a bit easier now.

Most of those videos are horrible. Watch Super Castlevania IV's video to see what I mean.

Dazza,fried gold indeed lad. can't wait for (a hopefully well converted) f-zero x,you've made my day,ta. on the japanese releases: does that mean no sin & punishment?

I don't think we'll ever see playable demos as it would almost certainly mean having to re-code the games in order to limit the content. Unless they build a timer into the emulators themselves.

Just can't see it happening though.

I was underwhelmed as well. It doesn't give you much of an impression of the game, rather shows that the people playing it are crap. I'd rather have 1-minute video's showing several levels instead of seeing the title screen for 10 seconds and having one character running into its demise for 20.

Another IV vid that sucks. Romance of the III kingdoms IV.

Wow, that Romance vid really IS dismal. I've never played it, but judging by that video it seems the entire game consists of moving around options screens on some type of map. Not what I would consider a great preview. (Thank god for vc-reviews.com!)

Still, it's nice to see Nintendo providing a way to "try before you buy" even if it is a little wanting at the moment.

The japanese vc site now has previews too: http://wii.com/jp/virtual-console/

(btw there is no belgium option in the location dropdown )

so do you get free trials or just videos? looks like you made a typo.

some of them were too dark, and they all had black borders..

idiot, it's called a strategy game. it's not a platformer, or fighting game. it's a strategy-war type of game and it's pretty good. go play advance wars. it's similar to that.
