Seeing as Starfox/Starwing 2 is fully complete, there is NO reason why they can't release it. And if they think it's a bad game, then why the hell did Adventures and Assault get released????????

So J.J And Jeff was #100, and Cruis'n U.S.A is #200
Not a bad week. Although 500 for IK is a bit much. Hell for any C64 game. Especially when there colour is a lighter Blue. I was hoping for something new, like Green or Red or Purple.
Waxxy. Actually the update isn't a firmware update, Brawl works fine, been playing for 25 hours now. Todays update isn't a firmware update so I've done that, and the freeloader is a disc that doesn't mess with your hardware at all.
Part of me's now thinking that it's a real shame that I have Brawl. Because I'd have liked this to have been at the top, but hopefully some people will still read it...
I wanted the Wii solely for the VC and was very happy with it. Now, I'm enjoying the games that I own, and enjoying quite a few of the games that are coming out. But I think 1 game a week is terrible.
Personally, I think I'd rather prefer 4 a month (Meaning rather than weekly updates, monthly updates) because at least then it would almost make it seem like we're getting a decent range of titles each month. It would hopefully also stop everyone complaining on a weekly basis.
The thing is though, while I may look like I'm a whinger for saying that 1 a week sucks, I'm different from most people. As I have actually bought every great VC game from the VC's brilliant back catalogue (Other than Kirby. Can't afford it yet), others haven't.
Which is why it annoys me as much, when someone says "Oh great, yet again there's nothing on the VC for me to buy, I haven't bought a game in 3 months because there's nothing good out".
Now I know everyone's different and all, but tell me when we had a period of 3 months, where we haven't got at least 1! Amazing game?
I have 127 games, I dislike 10. I see people who have 20 and say there's nothing good out. Hell, I see people who have 5 and say that there's nothing good out.
Unless they've played EVERY single VC game that's out, then HOW exactly do they know this? And if they have played them all, THEN JUST WHY THE HELL DID THEY WANT THE VC!
Yes I agree that VC releases QUANTITY wise have been poor, but Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y wise, they've been some of the best weeks we've had. So if this is the way that the VC's gonna stay, then I say bring it on.
So... Getting Hockey Manager (The only game to ever score a 0 on IGN) for the N64, is better than Castlevania III on the NES?
I too am sick of everyone saying that 1 game a week is good, because when we were getting 3-4 games a week all of which were almost always good (If I didn't feel this way I wouldn't have 127 games. And I had about 100 before X-MAS). It was a hell of a lot better than this. And those people know it too.
But this is what we're getting now, so make the best of it, because Ninty have proved time and time again, that they don't care about there fans, so whinging isn't gonna change anything.
Now, to the people whom complain that nothing came out that they wanted, there's TONS of great games out on the VC already, go try one of them. If like me you have all of the good games, then PLAY! One that you already own.
I love beat 'em ups, but I've played ET on the MD back when I was young and both me and my mate laughed our arses off at how bad it was.
And RPG's. Final Fantasy III DS totally killed the genre for me (I and II had started to kill it, III DID kill it)
Walk forward one step *FIGHT STARTING MUSIC* Tap/B Tap/B Tap/B *YOU WIN. EXP GAINED. FIGHT ENDS* walk forward one step *FIGHT STARTING MUSIC* Tap/B Tap/B Tap/B *YOU WIN. EXP GAINED.

YAWN! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Sorry about the bold, no idea why 2 Asterix's bolds things.
BTW, am I the only one thinking that Ninty MIGHT, actually do something special for not next weeks, but the weeks after EU release? A.K.A Leap Year Day Febuary 29th.
People aren't complaining that they HAVE to buy a game. People are complaining that there's no back catalogue games that interest them, and the new games that are coming out, are coming out so slowly that the ones they want are gonna take ages to come.
They're also complaining that 1 game offers no choice/variety.
DOOM.
They're humans.
Wii-C.
That makes no sence "The game is good but I hate it so I'm not gonna buy it"
Everyone's different, so of course you're gonna get someone complaining about releases.
I have actually downloaded a game or two, or three, almost every week.
I never once said I'd rather have 1 over 4 myself. Because while everyone's whinging and complaining about the games we didn't get, I'm buying and playing the games we did.
And I've found out, that there's ALOT of REALLY GOOD! Games out on the VC.
Infact, the reason I've started complaining, is 'cause I can't stand 1080, and Harvest Moon.
I want my 3-4 unknown unpopular games a week back. Because releasing 1 big title, sucks. And the game they release usually does too.
I really wish people would just shut up about about Mario RPG, and Final Fastasy, and Mega Man, and just buy something else!
Harvest came out, I bought Blades Of Steel, both Air Zonk's and more.
1080> Battle Lode Runner, Lolo 1, Balloon Fight, Ninja JaJaMaru-Kun and then Lolo 2 when it hit.
F-ZERO X and Wave Race I own on my N64. So when they hit, I bought Ristar, Sonic and Sonic 2, etc...
If you have a massive collection, then you can either sell the games while they're still worth alot (Since Paper Mario hit the VC. The price of it on the 64 hs dropped dramatically). Or keep them.
Those choices are hard, because what's ti say that the VC will stop after 2 years?
What's to say that all of your games will hit the VC?
If you have a MASSIVE collection, then I say keep it for now.
But if you're just satrting one. Then the VC's a good place to start

Not keen on how your punches/kicks connect and nothing happens. Caught my brother many a time but nevet got anything for it.

I couldn't put it down for want of finding more I hate about it.

Well, 15 minutes into Turrican, I'm wanting to come down to slap Dazza for recomending it J/K
I'll persist with it
Re: Streets of Rage 2
Well the game was called Bare Knuckle. Which meant that you didn't just have to fight in Streets.
Although it makes Axels Gloves really questionable :lol:

IK+ was better. But IK will still be bought
Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
Seeing how much this game usually goes for on e-Bay, I think 1,000 for Kirby makes it worthy enough for a look at it. It looks alright.

Juampi.
But when the content is ALREADY ON THE GAME DISC! Like this and Oblivion.
Then you're paying to access more of the disc that you already own.
It's like releasing Star Wars IV on Blu Ray but making the Death Star Trench Run downloadable content.

Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to get WiiWare Portal?
El Vampe, in Math you round up from 5. So 35 would be 40 ;p
And again, they'll be on the disc already. How else do you explain TP's 7 block of data for a save, when SSBB's is 180+?
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th February - Sega Week - Phantasy Star II
Damn right El
Not interested in either of this weeks titles, personally.
Re: Global Inequality on the Virtual Console
Hi guys, just about Axelay Palcom thing. Cybernator is Palcom, so I don't think that's the reason.
Also, you got the TMNT thing mixed up. It was 500 in EU but 600 in U.S.
Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to get WiiWare Portal?
As the content is on the disc already, this really annoys me.
Also, Bensei.
On LA games, you're matched with others whom have the content. So I'd assume the same from this.
Re: The Great Internal Memory Debate
What with the Net browser, N64 and GEO titles, Wiiware and SSBB's huge file size, we're all going to be needing a HDD.
But Ninty being Ninty, it'll take years to get one and it'll have to be a Ninty one to be used with the Wii.
Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
Boredom. The EU got JJ And Jeff as there 100th. I expect Elevator Action as our 200th.
And least your getting 2! Games. Our 200th release, will just be Elevator Action.

Well stop grouping me with all those "Wingers" then :lol:
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
Smug mode
Yeah, Ninty are struggling to release the 140+ games that Star Mario because they just don't have the licenses.
And the tons of sequels/prequels to the games that we already have :rolleyes:
But w/e, not gonna argue, can't be bothered too.
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
Wiiware will make it 0 a week.
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
I'm at 121, there's 3 games if that, that I'd think I'd enjoy.
Zueri's at 130+.
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
Unless you hate Shooters.
Re: EU VC Release - 8th February - Lords of Thunder
4th? Wasn't our release 4 weeks ago 1080 Snowboarding AND Riot Zone?
Anyway, LOT is an amazing game with an awesome price. I'm really happy about that
However I'm irate that SHMUP haters are totally screwed this week.
Re: Eternity’s Child Confirmed as WiiWare
Only if it's good.
Quite a few new LA games, stink.
BTW, here's some vid footage I believe.
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
Reason not to put it on. It'd be another 1 release week. And when most SSBB wanters still own SSBM, then that's a pretty wasted week.
Especially for those whom don't want it or for those who'd rather be playing SSBB.
Re: J.J. & Jeff
This looks terrible. What a 100th game. Hope the 200th is better.
Then again, we're at 186 now I belive, so I won't have to worry about a 200th for quite a few months. Infact, 09 seems about right.
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
Why put SSB on the VC? I can understand with old MK's, but SSB on the VC seems like a bit of a waste.
But anywho...
E-dawg.
It's why I bought an N64 back.
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
Bass.
No sarcasm at all.
I want 3-4 of the games you lot say are crap.
Because they're not.
Out of the list of all the rated games, how many would you and the others like to see dissapear?
I can think of maybe 5. Out of 50+.

Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
I've bought 117, dislike 10. Regret 16.
Alex and Mike, goto the forums and check my video reviews. They might help
Joghurt.
Out of the 6 current consoles, there are over a thousand games. MSX, MS/GG, C64 and others are coming to the VC.
1 a week isn't so much a slowdown, as it is a dead stop.
They could easily release 3 a week for 5 years and still have plenty to spare.
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
Kelvin. It wasn't a joke. Per-se. Here I was having a laugh and carry on, but...
I've thought since day 1, the Wii will either fail, or be the best thing ever.
If it fails, Ninty dies.
If it's the best thing ever.
Ninty dies.
I'm not saying that they will die, but Ninty may have done something TO good. Because what the hell can they do to top it?
Same with NDS. That's what made me think this. That's it's been 3 years now, and still no DS successor (SP) has started to crop up.
Re: EU VC Releases - 1st February - Adventures of Lolo 2
Brill game. But it really does annoy me that the states got SSFII and AOL 2 in ONE WEEK! And it's taken us two! :x
Anyone else reckon that they're stalling because they can't top the Wii?
So they're trying to make the VC last 10 years, so that they don't have to make a new console for 10 years? :lol:
