Re: US VC Releases - 28th January - 1080 Snowboarding

Hero.

I'd have downloaded both of last weeks. Wouldn't touch this.

Had it twice for the 64 and hated it both times.

Heard it's worse on the VC too. Classic controller problems.

Damo. I complained about a lack of 'em. It's why I rebought a 64 with tons of classics

1 game for the U.S does stink though. Because they get 3, we get 2. They get 2, we get 1. Wonder what we'll get this week?

An Urban Champ update?

DEMON212

ZAMN!
&
SWOS!

Those 2 would better a third release of SF IMO.

Not that I'm dissagreeing with you though. Just saying

I do agree that the VC is better than Live, in terms of games.

But in terms of fair releases and demo's, Live wins.

And the PSN is just awful with both.

But then the PSN is an amazing Live beating online service that's free

Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to include VC Demos!

DEMON212

ChinSpin.

A. It's VC news.

B. Not everyone checks smashbros.com.

I can proudly say that I've never been there.

No interest in having SSBB spoiled for me anymore than it has been. 1 a day updates suck!

Re: EU VC Releases - 25th January - Super Street Fighter II

DEMON212

Damo.

At least the LA multi regions though

I know what you mean though. I said last night "At least SSFII is great".

Sure 1 game when the states got 2 annoyed me. But at least I've got something I really wanted.

And it's odd.

I never noticed now much Ken looks like Reggie. And how Shigsy looks like Ryu. And Iwata Fei Long :lol:

Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?

DEMON212

Damo.

Agreed, it's just that so far, the GBA slot has only been used in small ways. So maybe the DS can work in DS mode whilst running stuff from the GBA slot, if you get my meaning.

Would it be possible to do this just in GBA mode?

Re: EU VC Releases - 25th January - Super Street Fighter II

DEMON212

Totally agree Kelvin.

I'm just annoyed that so many people told me that SSFII stunk on the SNES, and that I should just get Turbo.

Because I really wish I'd just bought SSFII now. I feel like I've wasted 800.

Still though, had some good times with it

But back to tonight. Just SSFII when the states got this AND Lolo just 4! Days ago...

Well I'd have to ban myself if I posted what I'm thinking at this moment in time.

Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?

DEMON212

I know you lot are saying GBA carts with flash, but surely a DS cart would make more sence? (As I mentioned above)

Just release a Wii to DS VC kit. Get a cart with the Wii's main menu programmed into. Same 12 channel setup.

Whack a few free exclusive games on to warrant the £30 tag. And then add online.

Sync your DS and Wii up over WI-FI. And then start transferring between the 2. But also have the shop programmed into the cart, so that you can DL on the go

The only games that wouldn't work are N64 (With no Analogue, there wouldn't be enough buttons with a controls overhaul). But there'd still be a huge number of reasons for them to do it. I've got about 97, with only 16 cons. But then again, I've been careful with what games I DL

Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?

DEMON212

PS3's can download PS1 games from the PSN, and then transfer them to a PSP if you so wish.

If Sony can do it, why not Ninty?

I'd buy a DS back IMMEDIATLEY if Ninty announced a blank game pack that can be used to store and play VC games on.

Re: US VC Releases - 21st January - Super Street Fighter II

DEMON212

"It was a bit of a hard pick to decide what game to "feature" for this news article"

WHAT?! :shock:

Like there's a hard choice between the greatest Beat 'Em Up ever and a Puzzle game that very few people seem to have ever heard of (Not saying it's bad. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but I'm just saying that SF II is amazing).

Re: Urban Champion

DEMON212

Scarily, I've played worse and played worse on the VC. There's some games that get higher ratings here that IMTHO are worse than this.

Re: Fatal Fury

DEMON212

HAHAHAHAHA

INSTANT COMMENTS NOW!

I've tried several times to post that you can ONLY play as 3 THREE! characters, and it's never been posted.

Well instant comments means that I can

Really good game though, just 3 characters is all.

Re: Bonanza Bros

DEMON212

1P probably deserves the 3, or even the 2 (It can be really slow in 1P) but you can have such a good 4 star laugh in 2P

Re: Blazing Lazers

DEMON212

Can't believe this is a Soldier game. It's so much slower and there's no 2 min and 5 min mode. Which is missed. Still good though

Re: Blades of Steel

DEMON212

I'm sorry, but if Ice Hockey gets a 4, then this game EASILY deserves an 8. Because it's easily twice as good. It blows it away in every aspect.

Re: Baseball Stars 2

DEMON212

Drake, how dare you give this game a 5 star rating saying that it's gameplay isn't the greatest!

This game deserves a 5 star rating because it's gameplay rocks!

Re: Goldeneye NOT Virtual Console Bound?

DEMON212

Ouenben.

Got a PS3?

PSN is free and is amazing. Barely any lag on any game. XBL is a lag fest any time I go on.

And not just now, what with them having huge problems and all. Anytime.

Also onto my 4th X360 thanks to the Red Lights.

But I agree about the add ons. What I love is how he has a go at MS for charging £60 for a WI-FI adapter. When a DS one will set you back £30. A full Wiimote is £69. The Wii comes with a game, rather than being £30 cheaper and having the game seperate (I wouldn't have bought Sports for £30) they force it on you.

Any many other things.

Really makes me laugh :lol:

Re: The Virtual Console Archive is One Today!

DEMON212

Really good article.

Glad I discovered this place and glad I could help in some small way (Modding the forums for those who don't know)

Hope we continue on growing until the VC ends. And even then, hopefully we'll still be here chatting about the best games that came out for it

Happy birthday

Re: US VC Releases - 1st October - Two Japan-only games

DEMON212

Ash.

I didn't even want a Wii. Let alone want one enough to fork out the extra to import it. And also, what if my imported console broke down?

At that time the only next gen console out was the 360, and that was horrible for reliabillity (SP) so there's no way I would've taken that chance with the Wii.

I import almost all of my games though, which is why I wish Ninty would've just made the damn thing region free. They did with the NDS, so why not the Wii?

Sony did it with the PSP and then continued it with the PS3?

So why not the Wii?

And we all know that it's not that hard to release games in the EU right after the U.S. As MS have been doing a fantastic job doing just that. So why not Ninty?

Lol @ Herandar.

PokeParadox. The EU's been getting crapped on by Ninty long before we were able to import easily.

We all deserve games, and had the EU not been getting crapped on for years by Ninty, and instead the U.S were, then I'd feel for them. Ninty need to learn the word "fair".

Re: US VC Releases - 1st October - Two Japan-only games

DEMON212

Surprise surprise, Europe gets screwed again.

Things like this really smeg me off. Because there's no friggan point to it. What's the motive? What's driving Nintendo's brain here?

"Make the game a collecters edition, it'll sell millions"

"Great idea, but how about this, we only do that for the EU?"

"Fantastic idea"

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why is it a fantastic idea?"

"No idea, it just is"

"ok then "

-_-

Also...

Ash, while I totally agree with you (because it was quite apparent that we'd get SM when MP3 was released). It still is bloody irritating, that we have to wait ages for MP3 and SM, while when we finally get something that you lot want, you get it 4 days after us.

So we have to wait 2 months, 3 months, a year, 2 years, and you wait a month at the most maybe? 6 weeks?

What's next? The Nintendo Puu will be released in America Oct 2010. It'll then be released near the consoles end in the EU however, at a release date of Jan 2017. Good news though, as the EU's launch will have 25 launch games, whereas the U.S only got 24 -_-

It really is a disgrace to all Europeans who buy a Wii in the future. Because now, people who buy a Wii today in the U.S, or maybe next month, or maybe in a years time, can buy SMB:LL. Whereas anyone in the EU who buys a Wii from today, is forever without the game.

Nice one Ninty, keep the promotions coming. How about for your next one, you release a limited editon mandatory update, that when you download it, you either get a bricked Wii, or a Mario channel? But when you DL it, it voids your warranty.

Oh, and make it EU only of course

Re: Sin and Punishment

DEMON212

654.

Well Damo says it's like Starwing/Starfox, so :lol:

While I love Space Harrier 1 (2 is bleh) and Starwing. I still think it looks bad.

The only thing that makes me think this game mightn't suck, is that it's by Treasure. So as bad as it looks to me, I would still buy it because of the fantastic games Treasure have already released on the VC.

Re: Mario's Super Picross

DEMON212

The numbers are supposed to help? I'd have thought one of them saying "64" when there aren't 64 tiles in a column to be unhelpful, rather than helpful.

So basically this is a glorified costly version of Minesweeper but with pictures?

Got it.

Re: Mario's Super Picross

DEMON212

So if you aren't supposed to know what you're drawing, what makes it fun?

I mean why would hacking/chipping away at a bunch of tiles for hour after hour trying to create a picture in the hopes it's the one that the game wants you to do, be fun?

Re: EU VC Releases - 31st August - Bonk 3

DEMON212

Steve.

Why does everyone keep saying this. How do you know that once people get the games they want, they'll never look at another VC game again.

I mean that's like saying that by releasing Mario, Metroid and Brawl all this year in the U.S. No one will ever buy another Wii game again.

Re: EU VC Releases - 31st August - Bonk 3

DEMON212

Ahhh, thanks for the heads up Steve. Glad I'm not the only one who got mixed up at first :lol:

=But my money stays in my pocket again. Except it's already in Nintendo's pocket because I've already bought the Points Card, even if I haven't spent the points yet.=

Exactly.

=I have SWEET gamez on my Wii - and some tripe - If they released all the good games at once there'd be nothing worth releasing in the future!!!!=

And? Having 200 great games now and having them in 7 years time doesn't mean much to me. Either way I'll buy the games. Just at the moment I have to wait for them, which does my head in.

If I had the room for all the consoles the VC releases games on, I'd already have them.

But I don't so I don't.

I fail to see why releasing a SNES game once a week is so bad, because that's all we're pretty much asking for. 1 amazing game a week. Considering what was on the 5 consoles that's not exactly a hard task. But instead we get really bad filler weeks every now and then. I'd love it if every week we got 1 game from every console.

That's 5 a week now and upto 10 when the C64, MSX, NEO GEO etc... are launched.

What's so bad about that?

Hell, what's so bad about waking up one morning and finding 250 new games have been uploaded?

Re: Sin and Punishment

DEMON212

This one of those forbidden fruit type games?

You know, like how Eve knew the Apples would just be regular Apples, but because they were forbidden she wanted them so bad, and then did and doomed the earth forever (Or so it goes).

Because this looks like Starwing mixed with EDF on the 360. The linear on the rails style progression with mediocre shooting gameplay.

It just looks like a 3D shmup to me, and not a particularly good one either. It looks boring, really boring.

Re: Mario's Super Picross

DEMON212

I have never been more confused and scared by a game. Maybe it's because it's in Japanese (Which I can't read), but just how the bloody hell are you supposed to know what you're drawing?

It doesn't look like it gives you hints or anything. And it can't even be themed, because one of them before the Footie player is an Aubergine (SP).

Re: EU VC Releases - 31st August - Bonk 3

DEMON212

"(And also one of very few ever released on the VC systems, so be glad they picked it!)."

??? The VC's been around for less than a year, isn't it a little early to be saying that?

Also, good if you're a gambler? Anyone who's reading this will have the net, so anyone who now doesn't goto a free online casino and instead buys VS, really needs to visit a shrink.
