ICEknight, you don't know what you are missing. It's fun. I'm so happy for you guys that you got Kirby 64. Speaking of Battletoads that should also hit the VC if Rare ever comes to their senses.
Yeah, we may or may not get Super Smash Bros next week. You know, I wonder if Europe will get the game before we do (even if they get Kirby 64 sometime soon).
Super Smash Bros. had a stage from this game. I remember playing this with my brother while eating cornchex in the morning. This was the only Mario game on N64 I didn't own, but instead I rented it and it was okay.
That's true, Roo. I haven't played Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), but I heard it had that "Sonic Adventure" touch but was completely ruined. And Sonic and the Secret Rings, that game doesn't even play like a Sonic game, ugh! I love both 2D and 3D Sonic games but Secret Rings....meh!
I think Nintendo perfectly translated Kirby from 2D to 3D. He has that side-scrolling gameplay and innovataive features that made his games successful.
When Sonic 3 and Knuckles comes out though, I bet there will be "tons" of downloads. That game lets you choose to play between Sonic. Tails, and Knuckles.
Pokemon Puzzle League would also be a good game to release until the Pokemon Stadium series come out. And I hope Nintendo will make a proper Pokemon game (like the ones on the handhelds) on consoles one day.
God, I wish Crash Bandicoot games were on the virtual console. I also object to the "ones that were actually good" statement. Twinsanity and Titans were fun.
Pokemon games were good on the n64 but then on the gamecube, they went downhill on consoles. I hope Pokemon Stadium comes out because me and my brother were very disappointed with Pokemon Battle Revolution.
This is my least favorite of the DKC trilogy, but I'm glad it's finally announced. That's mean we may be getting Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 soon.
But no way, Desperate for SSBB and stuff! Hey You, Pikachu! was a whole lot better! Well, actually they are both good. Aggh..I don't know! You may have a point.
Sure, Pokemon may have lost it's luster in recent years (like Sonic has, although I still love him), but some of their games such as this one are still fun to play and I'm not afraid to admit that I still love Pokemon.
Chris, what were you thinking?! Think of all the good VC games you'll be missing! Do you know how hard it is to track down all of the games you want for your SNES and Mega Drive?

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 2
This game is NOT a Super Mario Bros. "copy & pasta"!
Re: Virtual Console Top 20 – March 12th to March 19th
Wow, Mario Kart 64 over Super Mario 64. Who would have imagined?
Re: WiiWare vs Xbox Live Arcade - Fight!
Could we see arcade games on the Wii in the future?
Re: Sonic & Knuckles
Not really, Tony. But it is a little like it.
Re: EU VC Release - March 7th - Kirby 64
Me too, Bass, me too.
Re: Super Mario 64
It's okay, 2hip2beskware. I respect your opinion.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Isn't it about time Sega releases Sonic and Knuckles?
Re: Pac-Man
Yeah, especially if you're an arcade fan.

Re: US VC Release - March 3rd - Super Turrican
Yeah, we may or may not get Super Smash Bros next week. You know, I wonder if Europe will get the game before we do (even if they get Kirby 64 sometime soon).
Re: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
This game is WAY better than Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island.
Re: Yoshi's Story
Super Smash Bros. had a stage from this game. I remember playing this with my brother while eating cornchex in the morning. This was the only Mario game on N64 I didn't own, but instead I rented it and it was okay.

Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
Unlike some franchises, Kirby perfectly translated from 2D to 3D. The gameplay is still a side-scroller, but in 3D and with new abilities, too.
Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
I agree, Marioman 64! but I just didn't like it as much as other Kirby games, that's all. Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Worst Kirby there is?! Hey, Drake! Ever played Kirby Air Ride?
Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
The "worst"?! I think that's just the reviewer's opinion. My brother LOVES this game and we're are DEFINATELY going to buy this today! HECK YEAH!
Re: Pokemon Snap
I think the day Nintendo makes a proper Pokemon game is the day Sega makes a proper Sonic game.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
When Sonic 3 and Knuckles comes out though, I bet there will be "tons" of downloads. That game lets you choose to play between Sonic. Tails, and Knuckles.
Re: Super Mario 64
It's hard to choose between this or Galaxy.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
I think I will get it. Thank you Chinspin. Although others may want it for the vc, instead.
Re: Kirby's Dream Land 3 Reclassified by ESRB
I never played this game but I hope they release it soon. My brother wants Kirby 64.
Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
They'll be playing "catch up" when Mega Man and Vectorman come out.
Re: US VC Releases - 4th February - Operation Wolf
Another silly week! Oh well, I'm pretty sure things will get better soon.
Re: Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Puzzle League would also be a good game to release until the Pokemon Stadium series come out. And I hope Nintendo will make a proper Pokemon game (like the ones on the handhelds) on consoles one day.
Re: US VC Releases - 28th January - 1080 Snowboarding
They could have had the opportunity to release Mega Man. Oh well, at least we got our 11th N64 game on the vc.
Re: Ex-Naughty Dogs Join WiiWare Stable
God, I wish Crash Bandicoot games were on the virtual console. I also object to the "ones that were actually good" statement. Twinsanity and Titans were fun.
Re: Pokemon Snap
Pokemon games were good on the n64 but then on the gamecube, they went downhill on consoles. I hope Pokemon Stadium comes out because me and my brother were very disappointed with Pokemon Battle Revolution.
Re: Original Smash Bros Coming to VC?
My brother is going to be so happy when he finds this out.
Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?
Pokemon games such as red, blue, yellow, etc. will make millions.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
DKC 3 is okay but I prefer DKC 2 more.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
This is my least favorite of the DKC trilogy, but I'm glad it's finally announced. That's mean we may be getting Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 soon.
Re: EU VC Releases - 14th December - Mega Man 2
This is very perculiar. What's going on with Nintendo not releasing MegaMan games in the US yet?
Re: Pokemon Snap
I'd buy both, Ross. Just renew your points.
Re: US VC Releases - 10th December - Pokemon Snap
I think Nintendo will think of a way to bring the other Pokemon games for the VC. It just may take some time.
Re: Pokemon Snap
Speaking of which, I wonder when the Pokemon Stadium games are coming out.
Re: Pokemon Snap
I agree with Jonno.
But no way, Desperate for SSBB and stuff! Hey You, Pikachu! was a whole lot better! Well, actually they are both good. Aggh..I don't know! You may have a point.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - December 2007
Sure, Pokemon may have lost it's luster in recent years (like Sonic has, although I still love him), but some of their games such as this one are still fun to play and I'm not afraid to admit that I still love Pokemon.
Re: Pokemon Snap
I'm sure we will.
Re: Mega Man 2
Oh, great! Mega Man 2 is already announced and we americans still don't have Mega Man yet.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - December 2007
It's about time Nintendo's fastest best-selling franchise of all time hits the VC! Finally, Pokemon Snap!
Re: US VC Releases - 26th November - Vegas Stakes
If the next Mario game is for the N64, it will probably be Mario Party or Super Smash Bros.
Re: US VC Releases - 26th November - Vegas Stakes
Oh, sorry. Is Donkey Kong 3 a Mario game, because I don't remember if Mario was in it.
Re: US VC Releases - 26th November - Vegas Stakes
@ Drake
Don't forget Mario Paint. And by the way, Donkey Kong Country 3 is not a Mario game, DK has his own established franchise.
Re: US VC Releases - 26th November - Vegas Stakes
Still no Ninja Turtles 2, Mega Man, or Super Mario RPG?! Rats!
Re: Mega Man
My best friend had that game (Mega Man X) and it looked cool before he died not so long ago.
Re: EU VC Releases - 23rd November - The King of Fighters '94
Chris, what were you thinking?! Think of all the good VC games you'll be missing! Do you know how hard it is to track down all of the games you want for your SNES and Mega Drive?
Re: Japan gets Wii SNES Pad
Looks very neat! I hope we get one.
Re: Super Mario 64
You sound just like my brother, but in a good way.
