@ Tasuki Nintendo themselves have never said the FX chip was impossible to emulate. How many times do people have to tell you why Earthbound isn't coming to VC? I'd say Star fox has a heck of a better chance.
It's cool that they remade Star fox 64 and all but how about something new? I don't want the 3DS to become the N64 rehash machine. Star fox hasn't officially returned until we get a new game. I can't believe the original Snes Star fox hasn't made it to VC yet. What the ever living hell is the problem? The Wii is almost dead so get with it already!
Yeah I figured we wouldn't get anything special for VC this week. Since they just gave everyone 10 free games and all. I might get Pac-man anyway just to have a portable version.
Pretty good list I suppose. All except for Ice climbers, Wrecking crew, balloon fight and Golf. Those are pretty lame actually. Why not Kirby's adventure or Mario 3?
@ Yoyogamer Oh really? I didn't know Yoshi's Island was out over there. Well that's interesting. At least we get the GBA version soon on 3DS. Still strange we never got the Snes version though.
@ Bass_X0 I never said all chips could be emulated. Just that there might be a better chance now. We don't even know for sure if emulating these type of games is an issue. Maybe they just haven't got around to releasing those games yet.
Awesome! One step closer to the Snes version of X3! Soon I won't have to suffer with that butchered PS1 port with the awful music on the X collection. Looking forward to that!
I wonder if the original Star fox is more likely now? Since MM X2 uses a special chip for wireframe images maybe they figured out how to properly emulate those kinda games.
How about sending some of those games over here Japan? America needs some VC love too. There's barely anything left on the coming soon list. What gives?
I'm totally glad to finally try this one out. For some stupid reason I ignored it originally. I can finally make up for it now. Thanks Capcom! Now pretty please give us the Nes sequel and Demon's crest. I want the whole trilogy.
@ retro_player_22 They better get Demon's crest on Wii VC someday. We're running out of time with Wii and there's hardly any games left that we know are rated. I'm still hoping.
@ Pizzacore I don't think those coming soon games had an exact release date. It just says TBD. (To be determined) They hardly ever tell you ahead of time when VC games will be added.
Gargoyles Quest! Been wanting to try that one. I hope the Nes Sequel and Demon's Crest are more likely now. There aren't many Wii VC games left rated for release. They gotta give us something.
The Wii U probably won't be releasing right at the start of 2012. More likely mid to late in the year so Sonic 4 Ep2 could still be a Wiiware title. Just get this out and La-Mulana and I'm pretty well done with Wiiware.
People were actually trying to defend this game and say It's not so bad for fans of classic games? Get a clue. This game was never a classic. It stank then. It stinks now.
My Wii stopped reading my Brawl and Metroid Prime Trilogy discs a couple years ago. I tried the cleaning kit but that didn't work for long and my Wii had to be replaced. Early models just can't handle those damn dual layered discs.
I was 12 the first time I got my hands on one of these. I friend of mine was the first on the block to get one. I'd go over to his house and spend the whole night playing Super Mario world and Zelda: Link to the past. I drove my mom nuts begging for a Snes of my own. Finally that Christmas I got one and my whole perspective on Videogames changed forever. Still the coolest system ever!
@ Pizzacore Nobody and I mean Nobody is going to give Urban Champion a good review. It's not judging. It's facts. It's just not a good game. More power to you though if you just can't stand holding on to that 5 bucks.
Btw The update isn't til around 12:00 PM. It's been this way since forever.
When the Wii shop first started we were getting two, sometimes even 3 VC games a week. Now the 3DS VC is still in it's infancy and already we're having weeks of absolutely nothing? It shouldn't be so hard to find gameboy games to release this early on.
Btw who in their right mind ever considered Urban Champion a (classic) Hell of a choice of a game to get the 3D treatment.
If Urban Champion 3D ends up sucking as I imagine it will then this week is a total washout. Add that to the lack of any Gameboy games yet again and we've got one crummy set of updates. Way to go Nintendo.
I will Definitely be getting Gargoyles quest. Never played it but I hear good things. Oh and will somebody tell Capcom We want Demon's Quest on Snes as well? That game deserves a second chance.
Better hurry up and get the normal Wii then if you wanna play Gamecube games. Unless the Wii U really will have them on VC. I'd never wanna give up the ability to pop in my Cube games once in a while.
YES! I was really looking forward to this. Return of Samus will be mine once more! The game that made me a Metroid fan. I already own the Mario Land 2 cart but what the heck. I might get that one too just to have it on my 3DS.
Well in that case I'll be downloading this ASAP. I honestly wasn't expecting so good a review. I can see why people ignored it originally though. They probably saw the cover and ran in the other direction.
Kyotokei doesn't look half bad actually. The video seemed somewhat exciting. Sorta reminds me of Cho-Aniki. Still a little nervous about a game made by the makers of Enjoy your massage though.
It's funny how some people thought Other M was sexist but they never considered Princess peach from the Mario games. Waiting around all day in a castle for a man to rescue her. Yeah that's not sexist at all is it?
@ Rift Well that's good to know. I'm glad you aren't giving up on the series just because one game wasn't quite as well recieved. I would like to see a new Metroid on 3DS but I am curious what they could do with the series on Wii U. Hopefully the next game will correct the flaws of Other M while giving us a whole new thrilling adventure.
@ Rift. Well since so many people hated Other M they should just stop making Metroid games. Maybe everybody who thinks the series is dead now will get their wish.

Nice tease guys.

I might get Pac-man anyway just to have a portable version.
Re: NES Ambassador Games for North America Available Now
Yeah I had to go to the section where it says "your downloads" too.
There's no option to download them from account activity.
Re: North American NES Ambassador Games Announced
Ice Climber, Wrecking crew, Golf and Balloon fight are Meh.
The rest will do I guess.
Re: These Are The 10 NES Ambassador Games in Japan
Pretty good list I suppose.
All except for Ice climbers, Wrecking crew, balloon fight and Golf.
Those are pretty lame actually.
Why not Kirby's adventure or Mario 3?
Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Limited Edition Details
Wow that's the official cover of the game box?
Awesome!
Less than two months to go before gaming bliss arrives!
Cannot freakin wait!

Re: Kirby Makes His Return to Dreamland on 24th October
Now this is a Kirby game I can be excited about!
Wasn't as thrilled with Epic Yarn.
Not being able to inhale enemies just wasn't right.
Re: Sonic 4: Episode II Not Due Until 2012
The Wii U probably won't be releasing right at the start of 2012.
More likely mid to late in the year so Sonic 4 Ep2 could still be a Wiiware title.
Just get this out and La-Mulana and I'm pretty well done with Wiiware.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Readying Big Announcement Next Month
What is this E3 all over again?
Trying to get everybody fired up with Rumors are we?
Hmm maybe it's a new Metroid for 3DS. Here's hoping anyway.
Re: Review: 3D Classics: Urban Champion (3DSWare)
People were actually trying to defend this game and say It's not so bad for fans of classic games?
Get a clue. This game was never a classic.
It stank then. It stinks now.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
Ah my disc reader still works. No problems with dual layer.
Phew don't scare me like that.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
I better go test out my Dual layered discs just to be sure.
It's been a while since I tried one.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
My Wii stopped reading my Brawl and Metroid Prime Trilogy discs a couple years ago.
I tried the cleaning kit but that didn't work for long and my Wii had to be replaced. Early models just can't handle those damn dual layered discs.

Yeah Urban Champion is a good money waster too.

Nobody and I mean Nobody is going to give Urban Champion a good review.
It's not judging. It's facts.
It's just not a good game.
More power to you though if you just can't stand holding on to that 5 bucks.
Btw
The update isn't til around 12:00 PM. It's been this way since forever.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)
@ Pizzacore
Urban Champion will never be good.
Perhaps you'd like 3D China Warrior too.
Hope you didn't want that 5 bucks for something worthwhile.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August 2011 (North America)
@ mumof2kids82
Yeah 10 Nes games most of us have probably already owned on the Wii VC
or even before that.

Re: Talking Point: What If Nintendo Became a Third Party?
Hell no. That would officially be the death of Nintendo.
Re: Super Mario Land 2 and Metroid II Heading to 3DS Virtual Console
@ mgray5159
What the hell are you talking about? Stop releasing Gameboy games?
Who doesn't like Gameboy?
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Soars to North America 20th November
Finally! Guess I'll really have something to be thankfull for.
Let's hope this has less haters than Twilight Princess did.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword Hits Europe on 18th November
Took their sweet time anouncing the release date didn't they?
Good to know though. Now I can start my Zelda Marathon in preparation.
Re: Capcom Sets Three Game Boy Games Onto 3DS VC
I will Definitely be getting Gargoyles quest.
Never played it but I hear good things.
Oh and will somebody tell Capcom We want Demon's Quest on Snes as well?
That game deserves a second chance.

Re: 3DS Price Cut Helps Machine to Huge Sales Hike in Japan
See everybody? It'll be okay. Nintendo isn't going anywhere.
They had a rocky start but looks like they're back on track now.
Re: Review: Crazy Hamster (DSiWare)
I watched the video preview on the e shop and thought it looked slow and boring.
Good to know it's better than I expected.
Re: Review: Kyotokei (WiiWare)
Wow I didn't think this would turn out so good.
Might have to get it at some point.
Re: Review: Avenging Spirit (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Well in that case I'll be downloading this ASAP.
I honestly wasn't expecting so good a review.
I can see why people ignored it originally though. They probably saw the cover and ran in the other direction.
Re: Feature: What Happened to Metroid 64?
It was for the best. The wait was longer but eventually we got the awesome Prime series.
Re: 3D Classics: Urban Champion Coming to Europe Next Week
Who's dumb idea was it to make a 3D version of a game nobody liked in the first place?
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (North America)
Kyotokei doesn't look half bad actually. The video seemed somewhat exciting.
Sorta reminds me of Cho-Aniki.
Still a little nervous about a game made by the makers of Enjoy your massage though.
Re: Kyotokei
Wow this doesn't look half bad!
Hope it's a good game for once.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (North America)
Yes! super Adventure Island 2!
A Snes game I've never played? Awesome!
Re: Talking Point: The Future of Metroid
It's funny how some people thought Other M was sexist but they never considered Princess peach from the Mario games.
Waiting around all day in a castle for a man to rescue her.
Yeah that's not sexist at all is it?
Re: Talking Point: The Future of Metroid
@ Rift
Well that's good to know.
I'm glad you aren't giving up on the series just because one game wasn't quite as well recieved.
I would like to see a new Metroid on 3DS but I am curious what they could do with the series on Wii U. Hopefully the next game will correct the flaws of Other M while giving us a whole new thrilling adventure.
Re: Talking Point: The Future of Metroid

Well since so many people hated Other M they should just stop making Metroid games. Maybe everybody who thinks the series is dead now will get their wish.
