Thats probably an excuse and what they really meant to say was its cheaper to get the license to make a gamecube controller than a wii controller or something like that.
Eh, not really. Back when wireless controllers where coming out for the PS1, and even the PS2 if the controller used a RF frequency (It may have been IR or something else) it experienced a lag. But either way having cords is not a bad thing. Saves on battery life, and never lags.
You know I wonder if we will ever get snowboard kids. But anyway, this is a pretty good game, I wonder how the controls will work with the classic controller.
Very nice. I wonder if Square-Enix working with Nintendo means we will see Soul Blazer, E.V.O.: Search for Eden, ActRaiser 2, Paladin's Quest, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, The Portopia Serial Murder Case, Soul Blazer, Paladins Quest, and much more.
Oh man! Oh man! Oh man! World Heroes! I placed many a quarter into those arcade machines many a year ago.
Anyway, I am really glad to see Neo Geo games on the VC. I mean $200 bucks back then for a game was a little insane... So 9 bucks seems reasonable nowadays.

Re: Chrono Trigger
I'm tempted to download this. But hear me out, I got this game down pat.
I got three copies on the SNES, two on the PS1, and one of the DS.
Re: Final Fantasy IV
I got the DS, SNES, and PS1 version of this game.
Do I need it again?
Sure why not!
Re: Nobunaga's Ambition
I enjoyed this game back in the day.
Too bad the MMORPG never made it outside of Japan. It seemed like a blast.
Re: The Last Ninja
Reminds me of a extremely early Fallout game.
Re: Nyko Set To Release Wireless Classic Controller
Reminds me of a Playstation controller.
Re: Top 10 Neo Geo Games We Want To Come To The Virtual Console

Also WindJammers.
Re: World Heroes 2
Love this game back in arcades.

Nevermind Wii Ware. I want Cho Aniki, and Metal Slug!
Re: Playtest: The Shaft Virtual Console joystick
Eh, not really. Back when wireless controllers where coming out for the PS1, and even the PS2 if the controller used a RF frequency (It may have been IR or something else) it experienced a lag. But either way having cords is not a bad thing. Saves on battery life, and never lags.
Re: Nintendo Wii hard drive coming soon?
I hope for a hard drive, or something. Just encase my Wii breaks for some reason. I don't want to loose all the money I invested into my VC.
Re: US VC Releases - 5th May - Pokemon Puzzle League
Probably the only other N64 Pokémon game will we get.
Re: Double Dragon
Corey: 50,000! You scored 50,000 points on Double Dragon?
Lucas: I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.
Corey: Yeah, well, uh, just keep your Power Gloves off her, pal, huh?
Re: California Games
I remember being able to cheat in the BMX game. I think if you are the second player you can just jump up, and down. And rack points up.
Re: EU VC Releases - 11th April - C64 And Master System Madness
Hopefully Nintendo is kind Monday.
Re: Top 10 RPGs We Want To Come To The Virtual Console
Even though I got most of these games on the list, I would probably get them again.
Hell I got 3 copies of Chrono Trigger. Two with boxes, and inserts, and one just the cart.
Re: Cho Aniki
I really hope Cho Aniki comes state side. Its a great novelty game, and conversation piece.
Re: Another OFLC Update - Turbografx Imports Galore!
I really hope Cho Aniki comes state side. Its a great novelty game, and conversation piece.
Re: Yoshi's Cookie
I remember the tv ad for this game.
It was odd, if I recall right.
Re: Virtual Boy Confirmed for Virtual Console
Early April 1st?
Well as of posting it is in Japan.
Re: Virtual Console Top 20 – March 12th to March 19th
I'm quite shocked as Super Mario World is clearly a better game all round.
True, but Super Mario Bros 3 has quite the nostalgia factor to it.
I would dare say SMB 3 is probably one of the best all around platformers on the NES.
Re: US VC Releases - March 17th - Super R-Type
I want me RCR!
Old MTV promo music plays with Seizure inducing colors.
Re: US VC Releases - 25th February - Kirby 64
Oh dude! Psychosis! That game was on Nick Arcade!
Re: Commodore 64 coming to Virtual Console?
The only game I remember playing on C64 was Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?
Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
Finally we get Harvest Moon! I've been waiting for this since the EU got it. Heck I've been waiting since the VC launched for it!
Re: US VC Releases - 4th February - Operation Wolf
Wow, this is early?
Any reason why?
Re: Wii Neo Geo Joystick Coming in April
I want this! It would be really boss to play some fighters with that!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2008
Tantei Jinguuji Saburo: Yokohama Minato Renzoku Satsujin Jiken?
Never heard of it. Anyone care to explain it to me?
Re: Master System Games Coming to The VC!
Great! But 500 is a little steep.
Re: EU VC Releases - 25th January - Super Street Fighter II
I guess Nintendo is letting the US catch up or something.
Re: Original Smash Bros Coming to VC?
Sounds likely.
Re: US VC Releases - 21st January - Super Street Fighter II
Pretty cool. Now if we can just get Harvest Moon...
Re: New Duck Hunt Coming to WiiWare?
Hmm, thats pretty odd if you ask me.
Re: US VC Releases - 14th January - Pac-Attack
Yarg...
Re: Goldeneye NOT Virtual Console Bound?
I hope it comes out for VC...
But if it don't I still got a copy of it on the N64, also a unopened copy... and a unopened copy of Ogre Battle 64.
Re: 1080 Snowboarding
You know I wonder if we will ever get snowboard kids. But anyway, this is a pretty good game, I wonder how the controls will work with the classic controller.
Re: Hardware Focus: SNK NeoGeo
Thanks man, and a pretty good hardware focus. I am really glad that the VC is getting NG games.
Re: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
I remember getting this brand new years ago. This one is probably my favorite DCK game. I loved the exploration part of it.
Re: The Dynastic Hero
Hmm, I get a Maple Story feel from this game. But I will check it out.
Re: EU VC Releases - 16th November - Double Dribble
Wasn't this the first basketball game to have voice effects?
Anyway, talk about a bad day for the EU...
Re: Harvest Moon
Oh yes! I love this game. Now if they can get HM 64 that would be really great. I got to something like year 500 in that game.
Re: Check Mii Out Channel to hit on Sunday
I foresee many Hitlers, and Jesus.
Re: Blue's Journey
Also featured on the game show Nick Arcade!
Re: Magician Lord
I remember watching this game on Nick Arcade back in the early 90's. Man, those where the days... I so wanted to play this game back then.
I think I will pick it up.
Re: New WiiWare game - Pop
Nnooo?
I wonder who came up with that name.
Re: Nintendo press conference - 5 new WiiWare games, DS demos, and a new Wii update!
Very nice. I wonder if Square-Enix working with Nintendo means we will see Soul Blazer, E.V.O.: Search for Eden, ActRaiser 2, Paladin's Quest, Terranigma, Illusion of Gaia, The Portopia Serial Murder Case, Soul Blazer, Paladins Quest, and much more.
If those games make it to VC. I can die happy.
Re: World Heroes
I plunked many a coin into this game years ago. Glad to see it on the VC.
Anyway, if you are into fighting games I'd say go for it. If not, then just give it a look.
Re: News explosion: Neo Geo and more!
Oh man! Oh man! Oh man! World Heroes! I placed many a quarter into those arcade machines many a year ago.
Anyway, I am really glad to see Neo Geo games on the VC. I mean $200 bucks back then for a game was a little insane... So 9 bucks seems reasonable nowadays.
Re: The Virtual Console Archive on German TV!
"Didn't the Hoff singlehandedly destroy the monstorous Berlin wall using just the power of his music? No wonder he's popular!"
That reminds me of what Hoff said about that thing, and that old women where all "Oh my god! Its the Knight Rider!"
But who could forget Hoff standing over the crowd of people singing "Looking for Freedom" with a piano tie?
