Agreed with Steady Mobbin... Wait...? The Wii does have multiplayer. As far as I'm concered games like Bomberman '93, F-Zero, and Mario Kart still work as great as the originals.
I'll make sure to pick up Phantasy Star II ASAP, as I'm in a huge need of VC RPGs. BREATH OF FIRE II IS NOT ENOUGHHHHHH!
Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom is coming out this Monday, along with Phantasy Star II. I would get it but... Ninja Gaiden I is plenty for me, actually.
"I have a feeling this will be the first WiiWare game...." Let us hope so! This is, honestly, my second most hyped about WiiWare, right under Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Little King and the Promised Country, an awesome looking country-builder game!
Seems.. great, surprisingly. I'll pick Gravitronix up and support Medaverse's cause. The way things are going right now... are they going to be my favorite lesser-known Indie developer?
I don't care what you say, two anthromorph detectives who solve 'riddles and puzzles' in no way can beat shooting shapes of death.
Honestly, I have no idea why. Maybe America, Europe, and Australia choose their games the day before the Shop Channel updates to give off some sort of an ominous air.
I'm buying this as soon as it comes out. It just has some sort of charm to it that draws me into its happy little cute-cute world, and it IS NOT the graphics, not that I really care about how good they are either way.
Come on Fire Emblem: Anokoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi, come to America, Europe, and Australia to! ...I need it! For those who don't know, my favorite Nintendo series (by far) is Fire Emblem.
"Like I would love to see a Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 level editor for example which you could send your creations to others who also have the level editor."
...THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. I guess I've said enough.
Except, what about Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and Yoshi's Story? I would also like to see the Sonic the Hedgehog (1-3D), Streets of Rage (1-3), soon-to-be VC bound Smash Bros., and Kid Icarus gain level editors/creators themselves.
I'm ready for the original Smash to come out. I have some great memories of the game... You can bet I'll be buying it the minute the game comes out! I don't care if Brawl comes out or not, each game has its own feel making them all playable.
Just let me tell you, I visited the site briefly this morning on the Internet Channel and their games actually look... good! I'm hoping that 'hit game' is Stick RPG 2 or something along those lines. Paladin wouldn't hurt either but, it is new and is no way a 'classic' yet.
Really? All I saw of Lala when I was playing Adventures of Lolo 3 was her walking along with Lolo on the world map. I guess this is a situation where the self-proclaimed "hip" people would say "My bad."
EDIT: I did some research and found out that on the world map you could press A to switch characters. I suppose I never really did that. Heh...
If you lot think Adventures of Lolo 1 and 2 are amazing, just wait until 3! AoL3 has a free roaming map similar to Donkey Kong Country 3 along with considerably harder high level puzzles.
I actually knew this a day ago. However, my excitement is still unparalleled. Adventures of Lolo 2, I'm coming for you! I could handle Fei Long's kicks, just so you know. After Fei Long's humiliating defeat, I went to download the happy puzzler known as Adventures of Lolo 2. This event will happen approxiametely one - five weeks from now.
Don't expect me to be on much as I'm celebrating a birthday today (not mine)!
I may buy SSF2 within that time frame as well if no other good games come out by then. I'm iffy on the matter since I already have Turbo.
Heh. I actually played 1080 on one of my friend's 64s before. I liked it on the 64 but, with it being similar to Wave Race's controls, I doubt it would be fun on the VC with a GameCube controller.
The controls of this game aren't exactly what you call 'fun'. Not only is it difficult to control, but it is about as short as Yoshi's Story cut in half.

Re: LostWinds
This looks reeeeeeaaaaaalllllllllllll nice. I'll make sure to buy it.
Of course, I pick Brawl (2 weeks and 4 days) over it, and probably won't be buying any games for a while, except for, maybe, Mario Kart Wii.
Re: Commodore 64 coming to Virtual Console?
"...the output of the machine isn't really in the same league as Nintendo's console. IMO, at least."
Agreed.

Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Little King
Star Soldier R, Eternity's Child, Gravitronix, Plattchen Twist 'n' Paint, Dr. Mario & Bacteria Buster are all great looking as well.

Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to get WiiWare Portal?
After-sales-service or not... I know I'll be spending oodles of Wii Points on the service if it was true.
Friend: Hey, Jonno, why are there SO MANY FIRE EMBLEM CHARACTERS ON YOUR SCREEN?
Jonno: Well... I downloaded them!
Friend:
Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
Alright... its time to buy a points card.
Re: WiiWare and Retro Gaming
Oh man, if SotN were to be released for 1,000-1,200 points, even 1,500 or 2,000, I'd get it. It's that good!
Re: WiiWare focus - Interview with the director of Butterfly Garden
Eek... we've been found out by GoNintendo!

Re: WiiWare focus - Interview with the director of Butterfly Garden
This seems like a great game for when you just feel casual and don't want to fight endless hoards of Stalfos... which is good enough.
Re: Galaga '90
This game is more than strangely addicting, its fantastic! Galaga has always been great. _
Re: Star Soldier R
This looks fantastic. I'll need to pick it up fast.
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land
A little crazy that it is being sold for 1500 points but, it REALLY looks worth it. 5 Stars Beforehand
Re: Dr. Mario & Bacteria Extermination
I've never really been able to play a Dr. Mario game before so, I'll make sure to pick this one up.
Re: Eternity’s Child Confirmed as WiiWare
F-f-f-five hundred points only!? What a great steal!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2008
The fact they don't complain like you do.
Honestly, I have no idea why. Maybe America, Europe, and Australia choose their games the day before the Shop Channel updates to give off some sort of an ominous air.
Re: Fantasy Zone
I'm buying this as soon as it comes out. It just has some sort of charm to it that draws me into its happy little cute-cute world, and it IS NOT the graphics, not that I really care about how good they are either way.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2008
I've heard Gleylancer is fantastic as well.
Re: Master System Games Coming to The VC!
Fantasy Zone, I hear, is a great game. I also hope Phantasy Star I comes around soon.
Re: Smash Bros. Brawl to include VC Demos!
Come on Fire Emblem: Anokoku Ryu to Hikari no Tsurugi, come to America, Europe, and Australia to! ...I need it! For those who don't know, my favorite Nintendo series (by far) is Fire Emblem.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2008
Do Re Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken, Custom Robo V2, and possibly Neo Nectaris, you're on my list!
Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?
@Dazza
Really, really awesome device there. I'll make sure to pick one up sometime!
Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?
Woah Daz, I forgot to ask what games were on that Mega Drive Portable! So... what games are on that Mega Drive Portable?
Re: Portable Virtual Console - A Reality?
Now, now. I think a DS Virtual Console will actually happen mid 09 or so!
Ah, the possibilities. I hope Sega and Treasure would help out with the DS VC... Light Crusader, Beyond Oasis, and Shinobi, that's why.

Re: Revamped Site is Now Live!
(...Wow. People are still posting here eh?) Yup, I agree that the real avatars are great!
Re: Original Smash Bros Coming to VC?

Re: Adventures of Lolo 2
Really? All I saw of Lala when I was playing Adventures of Lolo 3 was her walking along with Lolo on the world map. I guess this is a situation where the self-proclaimed "hip" people would say "My bad."
EDIT: I did some research and found out that on the world map you could press A to switch characters. I suppose I never really did that. Heh...
Re: Adventures of Lolo 2
No, you cannot play as Lala. Yes, I believe there is right around 100 levels in the third installment.
Re: Adventures of Lolo 2
If you lot think Adventures of Lolo 1 and 2 are amazing, just wait until 3! AoL3 has a free roaming map similar to Donkey Kong Country 3 along with considerably harder high level puzzles.

Re: R-Type III: The Third Lightning
Ha, this is a really challenging game (just how I like my schmups).
Re: Revamped Site is Now Live!
Ah Pegasus, always around late, aren't we?
Re: Ys Book I & II
This game may not look like much but, trust me, it is. I can spot a good (action, strategy, or traditional) RPG from miles away!
Re: 1080 Snowboarding
I guess the update answered my questions as to if this was similar to Wave Race or not. Ah, well.
Re: Revamped Site is Now Live!
Ah, just great. I've been waiting a long time for the use of a 'My Games' area, believe it or not. Great job.
Re: Light Crusader
Haha, I bought this game thinking it would be ho-hum. Guess what? I was wrong by a long shot.
Re: Adventures of Lolo 2
OFLC/ESRB rated just recently. Oh man, this game is a real treat, just like its predecessor and sequel!
Re: EU VC Releases - 18th January - 1080 Snowboarding
Heh. I actually played 1080 on one of my friend's 64s before. I liked it on the 64 but, with it being similar to Wave Race's controls, I doubt it would be fun on the VC with a GameCube controller.
Re: King's Knight
I remember this game. For today's standards, this hasn't aged well at all.
Re: 1080 Snowboarding
Is this anything like Wave Race? If so, I'm not buying.
Re: US VC Releases - 14th January - Pac-Attack
Zyzzybalubah, everyone has their own opinions, its just that mine is the widely accepted one.
Harvest Moon is better but, I'm going with the Europeans on this one, us Americans complain WAY TOO MUCH.
Re: Spelunker
The controls of this game aren't exactly what you call 'fun'. Not only is it difficult to control, but it is about as short as Yoshi's Story cut in half.
Re: US VC Releases - 14th January - Pac-Attack
Ah yes, Pac-Attack. Good game...
Re: Do Re Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken
Oh man! This game is great... a must buy.
Re: Devil World
Probably will be released on import in North America since the NOA has gotten their heads on right since the 80s.
Re: US VC Releases - 31st December - Light Crusader
All seem great but with a budget like I have right now (to save up for Brawl), I'd get only Light Crusader, Bubble Bobble, and Donkey Kong Country 3.
