The only thing you have to worry about for Bloodlines is if Nintendo decides to release Generations here instead. Yeah it's the same game, but it's censored. I know europe is probably getting Generations, but I hope we don't have to ...
@136. Cally: the gap is not filled yet, remember, Bloodlines!
175. Bass X0: Oh,well I can see it happening since Capcom is doing quite a bit with nintendo so far. What with Monster Hunter 3 coming up and them having already released RE4 on Wii. There's a very real chance they might release RE2 on VC.
179. Jasco: Yeah, can't see ninty joining one of it's opposers. Of coarse sega has been with ninty for quite a while, but that was because sega screwed themselves by making a bunch of consoles (not all) that sucked, almost destroying them., until ninty hopped in
Yeah, but roms are never as good as the real deal (or vc, which is the closest thing your gonna get) they always flicker or have graphics or audio errors.
Damn puzzle games ... the only real puzzle game I would like to see on this is a Wrecking Crew remake with different game modes, the ability to have more than 4 custom levels, 4 player support (at the same time, not taking turns), downloadable content (different characters, level packs, editing parts) and online. I love wrecking crew, but I have a few problems with it that nintendo could fix if they brought it to wiiware.
26. Mike: I'm not saying it's a bad game, infact, I've never played any mega man games except 2 and 3, I was just saying it was in your opinion that it was the best WiiWare game. Plenty of people probably agree with me, and just as many will disagree. Difficulty has nothing to do with it for me (it may for others).
In a related topic, are you able to shoot up/diagonolly in MM9?
77. Kirk: Actually, I'd rather like to see a Super Mario World with the view point of Super Mario 64 ... And 3d would only work on my Link to the Past idea if it was in the view point of Ocarina of Time (or any other 3d zelda games) ... unless they did the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl thing, but that would defeat the purpose of making it 3d.
Also would like to see a new Wrecking Crew or Ice Climbers.
I'd just love to see a 3d Link to the Past, with the EXACT same visuals, but in 3d. The exact same game, the exact same enemies, in 3d. I would buy that at any price.
I agree, I like having lots of modes, just don't do the tetris party thing and tell us we're getting, like, 9 modes and we're really getting 6 just 3 of them are with balance board ...
@Riverman Jacob: Darren wrote "We’re thinking it sounds like original Mario Bros arcade game ..." Is it like the original Mario Bros. arcade game, or is it a sidescroller?
Also (just a thought) you should have a mode where the objective is to box enemies in, and when you do, it will defeat the enemy. In other words, the only way to defeat the enemies is to box them in a circle (or square) of blocks, and attacking them by usual means (whatever that may be) will be rendered useless.
Can't wait for this game, sounds fun. I wasn't going to buy World of Goo because it was 1500 (I have the demo of it on PC, and I just don't think it'll be as good on WiiWare) but I don't care how expensive this one is, I'm probably going to buy it! Well, if the review is good that is. No offense Riverman, but there is always a chance a game won't turn out as good as you hoped, and I've made the mistake (twice, actually) of buying a game on impulse (the games in question were Destroy all humans and Battalion Wars 2) and I don't plan on making that mistake again. That said, this sounds amazing.
You know what I was just thi COUGH haunting starring polterguy cough woah, sorry about that, you know what I was just thinking, we need fackin NES Gauntlet to be released ... granted it is hard as hell past level 30 ...
Dude I just gotta admit that this is the worst list i have seen ... * : No, it isn't, this list is the top 5 games in *THEIR opinion.
... here are the real top 5 games of virtual console 2008: Again, O-P-I-N-I-O-N-S. These are the top 5 in your opinion, everyone's lists are going to be a least slightly different.
68. Bendover83: I can't wait for Bloodlines, wonder if Europe will get Bloodlines and not Generaions (same game, I know, but Generations is censored) or if we'll both get Bloodlines ... or both get generations (god, I hope not).
Yeah I noticed that too ... Sorta releated topic, did you know in the first harry potter book when it shows the list of what Harry needs to get it says "A wand" twice?
Those screenshots make it look a hell of alot like Super Castlevania 4. Anyways, not gonna buy this as I already own SC4 (I know, castlevania 3 is a completely different game, I don't care) and I'm going to be buying The Conduit and a WiiSpeak once the conduit is released.
@173. Bass X0: I've no idea. What wall boss is he talking about anyways? I've gotten quite far in SoM so I might be of some help, but I don't even know what boss he's at ...
@Wiiloveit: You have your own site? Neat! mind if I ask what it is? I always think it would be sweet to have my own site, based on vidjeo gamez. Give a review each week or so, put some cheats on there, some videos. That'd be so sweet ........................... where am I?
@Objection_Blaster: I love that movie, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are hilarious! Also loved Run fatboy Run (Nick wasn't in that) and Shaun of the Dead. Funkin awesome. All who disagree! ... pfffffft, jog on!
Anywho, yeah, looks pretty good. Hope there's downloadable content (new cars, tracks possibly even songs).
Agreed, the gamcube was very powerful for it's size. Emulating Sunshine on a PS2 would be near impossible, and even if you managed it, there would be hundreds of problems and it would likely crash alot.
@Wiiloveit: Totally. A friend of mine bought it and enjoyed it for awhile ... then he started getting bored ... I never even thought about buying it as I'm not a big fan of Pokemon (I hate it's battle style)
@soniczelda dude: Neat avatar! Love that game ... Actually I just love sonic games in general including Secret Rings and Unleashed, though secret rings is fackin hard. Cool, either way I'm probably gonna buy this, I love pixel games. I can see you're not thinking the same thing, as you added a at the end of the message.
I don't get why everyone is getting all obsessed with SNES Mario Kart ... I remember it being very hard to control.
@Corbie: I've never played Castlevania Bloodlines, heard it was great though.
Here's my most wanted (lol) list. In no specific order: Haunting: Starring Polterguy (Genesis) Turok 2 (N64) Ghostbusters (Genesis) Disney's Alladin (Genesis) (Not sure what the chances of this game are) Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers (Genesis)
Would have had more Sonic Games, but I'm gonna get Sonic Mega Collection (Or try to). Also, Vectorman would have been in there, but I own Sonic Gems Collection, so ...
I wondor when we'll be getting our final Virtual Console? Europe has the C64, so will we be getting ours soon or will w have to wait forever?
Also, just thought of this, will there be more Virtual Consoles or are we done (europe is done, we need one more)? It'd be neat to see, say, the Game & Watch on there, though I don't know how difficult that'd be to emulate.
17. Corbie: Yeah, but would you really be surprised if they didn't?
Besides, I don't like virtual board games (and in this case card games), it always gets cheap because the fackin computers know exaclty whats going to happen and when.
I like killer instinct, and I am unstoppable with Cinder ....... actually thats a lie, no matter how much you train in a fighter you can always be defeated by someone just mashing buttons. That's why I'm not a big fan of fighters. Plus they run out of replay value quite fast ...... whats that? Oh, Pop them drop them samegame, right .... it looks pretty good, for $5.
@Corbie: I agree. Secret of Mana is my favorite RPG of all time, and I've neverplayed Chrono Trigger but it sounds brilliant! And if Zelda's are RPGs then that makes 2 because I F***ING LOVE LINK TO THE PAST!
