I would love this to happen, there are some great ideas in Sonic & All Stars, but i prefer the execution of Mario Kart. Handled correctly, it would be epic. I'd personally love to see Nintendo & Sega Kart than Sonic and Mario Kart, but whatever transpires with Mario Kart U I'll accept anyway.
I think it will be around xmas time before we really see many "new" vc titles, and maybe next year before Gamecube games become available(which I'm convinced they will at some point) But I'm really excited about the possibility of GBA releases.
DLC is optional. I love Fire Emblem games, and I'm always really sad when they are over, and want to replay them. Dlc for FE:A means that if I WANT a fix, I can get it easily! And the fact that it's not essential to get the most from the game actually suits me and most people - If you don't want it, don't get it! But I have it, and I don't regret it!
Great video! I had already pre-ordered BO2 for my 360 before I pre-ordered my Wii U, but I'm still tempted to pick up the Wii U version as I'd love to play on the GamePad or Pro Controller. If only it were a little cheaper....
I always prefer to buy on day one, and admittedly I don't get the best price for it, but it allows me to get used to the hardware etc so there are no regrets from me, loved every minute of playing my Wii U so far.
I like the videos, however we all want this these things for less. I'm happy to have paid the price, but I feel there should have been a little more included. Call me crazy, but I tried this at a Wii U event pre-launch, and I'm sure it gave objectives like Wii Sports Resort jogging does(to spot certain things and test your memory) but I can't see any trace of it here. Did I just imagine it was there in the preview build? Or did it not make the final cut??
Im in the UK and I always encourage others to go online. I cannot tell you the number of people - even just within the last week - that I have shocked by telling them that they can download old N64, NES, SNES and Mega Drive games from the virtual console! It really is incredible that so many people do not know one of it's major functions!
This is great, just had a quick look and bookmarked it! Works great! Although I'd rather be able to create new posts, I can accept for now that it's not available - though I'm expecting this to be addressed soon!
I thought FAST was a great WiiWare title, and would love to see a sequel. I'd still prefer to have a new F-Zero - and I believe Shinen would be an ideal developer for it given how good FAST was - but I'll take whatever's coming!
While I love physical boxed and artwork, you cannot beat convenience of a download. And to be honest, I'm seriously considering LM2 at the moment based on the fact that the Game website has it discounted as a download code!
@rdenton85 Baloon Fight was released as 50hz at the start of the VC trial campaign, but both F-Zero and Punch Out have been 60hz versions - and most likely because of massive feedback from the Miiverse community!! Result! However going forward I do not know what the intentions are.
Launch day VC titles are still to be confirmed, but the previous 30p/30c releases will defo be there, as will Super Mario World(which seemed to take forever to come to the Wii VC!!) but I'm not that bothered if there's not a massive number of games of available from day 1, I'm more interested in a steady and consistent stream of games arriving for the service!
brilliant presentation, and great to see that nintendo listened to everyone(myself included) that posted on MiiVerse to get Earthbound released everywhere else! It's just a shame they haven't listened about Fire Emblem!
It's £9.99, not £10.79 as advertised, which is strange, but great news! Also, there's no EU community to accompany it! I can access the American one, but it doesn't recognise that I've played the game!
I agree, we should be able to choose more than one download! Punch Out!! Is a must for me again this week, but I selected Need for Speed Most Wanted U as I'm making it my first retail download! Plus Harmoknight demo. Its a great week, made even better by another 60hz VC game! Well done Nintendo of Europe for listening!
I want the physical copy, but I have to be honest, I'm very tempted to go digital for this one. I love the box art etc but with the digital version I need never be without it! No more carrying the cartridge around!
Asda have been trying to increase their share in the entertainment sector for a while now and I think this would be great news! I really hope HMV come through this as there are so few places on the high street nowadays that have the sheer variety in electronic entertainment that they offered!
I remember buying mine from Virgin Megastore in Glasgow, I got the DS with a Nintendo DS t-shirt, Super Mario 64 DS and WarioWate Touched! for £124.98! Ridiculous!
I already bought the game when it first came out, and although I haven't played it in a VERY long time, I don't have any regrets of the full price purchase! It's a great game, and I love the 3D effect in it too!
@KeeperBvK you know what? I always try and stay calm when I read comments like yours, however the time has come for someone to say - your comments are moronic.
I'm sure If you reviewed the game you'd give it a different score - and that's your opinion!! That's what a review is! However it doesn't matter how many time's it is said, clearly there are people like yourself who aren't quite able to grasp this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and we can all disagree with it. But grow up, and take your hatred elsewhere please.
It was only a few years ago that I was aware of the different look for the US Snes over the UK one, but I have always and will always love the UK/Jap design more!
While I believe this function should have been in the game from Day One, it's nice to see it being added for launch. But I agree, perhaps not that many people will use it.
The game looks great so the price is reasonable. I don't think there should be a limit on what companies charge, as long as it represents value, and they are sensible about it then that's fair enough! I'm hoping for £12.99 in the UK although I'm expecting £14.99.

That's dissapointing. At least I still have the great WiiWare version!
Re: Nintendo And SEGA Have Yet To Reveal Another Exclusive Sonic Title
I would love this to happen, there are some great ideas in Sonic & All Stars, but i prefer the execution of Mario Kart. Handled correctly, it would be epic. I'd personally love to see Nintendo & Sega Kart than Sonic and Mario Kart, but whatever transpires with Mario Kart U I'll accept anyway.

Re: C-Wars Developers Officially Approved for 3DS, Stretch Goal in Sight

Oh, and this game looks and sounds awesome!

Re: One Of Shin'en's Forthcoming Wii U Titles Will Have Online Play
I thought FAST was a great WiiWare title, and would love to see a sequel. I'd still prefer to have a new F-Zero - and I believe Shinen would be an ideal developer for it given how good FAST was - but I'll take whatever's coming!

Re: Airship Combat Title Guns Of Icarus Online Could Be Flying To Wii U
This actually looks really good!
Re: Wii U Virtual Console Will Arrive Shortly After Next Week's System Update

Re: Believe, People - EarthBound Is Coming To The Virtual Console At Last
@Angelic_Lapras_King Too true, now all we need are plenty of people in the Fire Emblem Snes vc miiverse to tell them we want it localised!
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The European 3DS Presentation Live
brilliant presentation, and great to see that nintendo listened to everyone(myself included) that posted on MiiVerse to get Earthbound released everywhere else! It's just a shame they haven't listened about Fire Emblem!
Re: Nintendo Direct: Watch The European 3DS Presentation Live
@trossy998 that is probably the best shout ever!

Can't wait for this. All the games in this series are fantastic, but there seems to be something extra special about this one!
Re: BIT.TRIP Runner 2 Dashing To European Wii U eShop Tomorrow
It's £9.99, not £10.79 as advertised, which is strange, but great news! Also, there's no EU community to accompany it! I can access the American one, but it doesn't recognise that I've played the game!

Re: Video: Wii U Menu Speed Upgrade Cuts Waiting Time By More Than Half
Brilliant! The little things make a big difference!
Re: Next Level Games Has A "Top Secret" Title In Development
It's most likely either Mario Strikers 3DS or U, or Luigi's Mansion for the Virtual console or an HD remake. And I would take any of those options!
Re: Criterion: Support Need For Speed: Most Wanted And DLC Could Happen
I've got the money in my eshop account so I can download it this friday, so I hope others show their support too!
Re: Read The Thoughts of Monsters in Resident Evil Revelations
I - like many other's - feel that Wii remote & Nunchuck controls are essential for this title. Thus, I will be skipping it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st March 2013 (Europe)

Re: Remake Request: Langrisser
I'd certainly buy this whether it was released on the Wii U VC or a re-make. Hopefully someone is paying attention!

Re: The Conduit Getting HD Remake For Mobile Tegra Devices
I loved the Conduit, and would happily purchase it again from the Wii U eShop! So long as it's given a sensible price!
Re: Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight's US Price Is Revealed
The game looks great so the price is reasonable. I don't think there should be a limit on what companies charge, as long as it represents value, and they are sensible about it then that's fair enough! I'm hoping for £12.99 in the UK although I'm expecting £14.99.
Re: "Emergency Maintenance" Planned For Nintendo Online Services on 26th February
Anyone who thinks that Miiverse is impossible on 3DS is sadly mistaken. Whether it comes or not, it IS possible.
