So how does this differ from Melee? I understand that Brawl is far different from even Melee, but is there anything that makes the original unique?

I like my Classic Controller. It gives me that nice, SNES feel. If the grips were removable, I might consider it. I think that vibration would require a complete software update, which would take a long time to do. They'd probably have to make yet another CC just to accomodate for the new feature, and I doubt the GC controller would be affected.

As I've said before, I like my lineup of controllers. Remote for NES/SMS, Classic Controller for SNES/Genesis, and GC controller for N64.

Are these the people behind the so-called "Twilight Hack"? Even so, it's people like this who get systems and/or games discontinued because of the thousands of illegal copies distributed.

So Lost Levels plays like SMB, only with new levels and the ability to play as Luigi?

Not only does it take up fewer blocks than OOT, but it also costs the same. Considering that the N64 needed a graphics enhancer to play MM, it should have more blocks and cost 1200 points. Also, considering its darkness, it should have an E10 rating at least.

I was just going to say it looks like a cartoony Warcraft.

This looks cool, but it looks too much like other adventure titles like Crash Bandicoot.

What is the SNES controller pictured? Mine has the words "Super Nintendo" engraved rather than painted black and the buttons are grey and purple rather than red, yellow, blue, and green.

@PJ: I prefer the remote for NES/SMS games, the Classic Controller for SNES/Genesis games, and the Gamecube controller for N64 games. They work fine, which is why I might skip this.

I wonder if this means rumble pak compatibility. I'd love to play Star Fox 64 the way it was meant to be played.

If this controller becomes hard to acquire, I'll just stick with the ones I already have. The remote suffices for an NES/SMS controller. The classic controller works as an SNES/Genesis controller. The Gamecube controller is fine as an N64 controller. However, this may end up just like the Shaft. You can find it, but only from third parties.

Which reminds me...if it does have rumble pak compatibility, will it also work on Gamecube games? I have Ocarina of Time for Gamecube, and would love to play it the way it was meant to be played.

This is so sweet! I get that true nostalgic feel while playing the old games. The remote is nice for NES, but actually using the NES controller will be awesome! The classic controller is nice for SNES, but actually using the SNES controller will bring back countless memories. Also, the N64 controller will have a cooler feel to it. I'm getting it!

An RTS sounds nice. I've loved those since high school. Good move by Nintendo.

OMG, you made me burst out laughing with that one!

It's just that Dragon Warrior 2 wouldn't be a flashy 300th game like MM or SMK would. Not that many people know of the Dragon Warrior series.

Of course, the 300th game could end up being um...Pong.

Let's hope the 300th game isn't Dragon Warrior II.

I've heard that about the current DK being the grandson of the original, who is now Cranky Kong. Who'd have though that?

I remember wondering why Donkey Kong had a tank top on. I didn't know there was a DK Jr. I always thought it was DK.

Glad to see that SMK is coming. Well overdue. I'm definitely getting Wii Sports Resort. It looks awesome.

I beat this in two days. Still planning to get the second game. I downloaded the first game after the fifth was released, so I'm way late.

Coincidentally, I happen to be taking a Tokugawa Japan class right now, so I actually know who Oda Nobunaga is.

@113: Oh.

@114: They haven't done Dr. Mario yet?

@111: It does seem like the entire NES library is now available. However, they still have to release Mega Man 4-6, Bomberman, and Tetris. I'm still hoping for the Disney Afternoon Series.

DSi: I guess I can keep my DS, if only for GBA/Rumble capability.

SSB 64: I got Melee used, and it's far from being comparable to Brawl.

VC: the releases have been blah lately. While I'm looking into getting Street Fighter II and SBCG4AP ep. 2, I can't help wondering what happened.

I already have Dr. Mario for the GBA via the Classic NES Series. The lack of GBA backward compatibility is the main reason why I'm never buying a DSi.

It looks like Yoshi's Island meets Invader Zim.

The only WiiWare I've ever had any interest in is SBCG4AP. Most of the VC games I've never heard of, so I'm still waiting.

NES

Darkwing Duck
Duck Tales
Rescue Rangers
Tale Spin

SNES

Mario Paint
StarFox

GENESIS

Gargoyles
Tecmo Super Hockey

They should add VC games to the DSi. They could do Game and Watch, Game Boy, Game Gear, and Game Boy Color. It'd be so sweet to be able to download old handheld games onto my DS instead of having to play them with the Gamecube controller.

Oh boy. Another game I've never heard of. Wish they'd get back to the major series.
STEPS TO MAKE UP FOR THIS MONOTONY
1. Mega Man 4-6
2. Bomberman
3. Columns SMS
4. Ecco SMS
5. Sonic & Knuckles
6. Kirby Super Star
7. Super Mario All-Stars
8. Super Mario Kart
9. Mega Man 7
10. Yoshi's Island

This is why I'm glad they threw in SMS games. I had the Game Gear, so this is like playing them again.

@Nathan: Thanks. I found the info on GameFAQs and have written it down. I've actually gotten as far as the first temporary save before, but I can't seem to anymore.

Is this the one with the Super Mario Bros. 2 stage?

Thanx

I'm stuck in Clock Town. Any help?

Well this was worth downloading. A new twist on DKC. The first had Diddy and DK, the second had Diddy and Dixie. This one has Dixie and Kiddy.

Um...I can't seem to get out of Clock Town. My trouble is the hide-and-seek game.

@Nathan: Absolutely. Here in the States it's been almost 6 months since the last N64 title (Mario Golf). We're well overdue.

Kid_A, if you still have the original, why are you downloading it again? Doesn't your N64 work?

@41: Yeah, like Toobin' for arcade.

"Relive the same three days again and again until you're strong enough to face the evil in Termina head on."

Does that mean that, even when time starts over, Link is unaffected?

I had the Gamecube version, and I later acquired the N64 version. The save limit is annoying. I like to save after each accomplishment.

Nights: forgot about that one, good call
Virtua Fighter 2: I thought VF would suffice, but I suppose VF2 would be fine.

Never heard of the rest.

I really think the Saturn should be brought to the VC. They could charge 1200 a game for all I care. Just bring them!

How about the 300th release be the Saturn edition of Virtua Fighter? Then in a few weeks they could release Sonic R and never bother with the Saturn ever again.

The thing is I came in at the tail-end of the NES generation. I'm more of an SNES onward. That's why I can't relate to any of these 8-bit systems (save for the NES).

Since I had a Game Gear as a kid, the SMS games are a treat as they're essentially the same thing. A week ago I downloaded Sonic Chaos and it didn't disappoint. Just as awesome as it was then, and very nostalgic for me. I also downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog for the Genesis, and it's cool too. Sure I had Sonic Mega Collection, but it's more fun using the classic controller or remote than the clunky Gamecube controller.

How boring is this? When are we gonna see some Super FX titles? Super Mario Kart is also overdue.

I'd also like the Master System edition of Columns.

How about Area 51. I love that game!

Tekken would be cool. I'd love at least one 3D fighter. If they bring Tekken to the VCA, I'm getting it along with Street Fighter II. I have the Sega Genesis Collection, but Virtua Fighter 2D is rather stupid.

I'm curious about the arcade Donkey Kong. How many levels does it have? The NES version gets boring after going through all three levels.

One thing that's going to limit the Virtual Console Arcade is the lack of an arcade-like joystick. Sure the classic controller and Gamecube controller have analog sticks, but it's not the same.

I've never liked Majora's Mask. It's too hard.

Ah the fun I had playing this on the Game Gear. I just got it, and it's so nostalgic. It works for an 8-bit Sonic. I also downloaded Sonic 1 for the Genesis.

Party On Dude, these games are already available in their NES form. As I've said, you can buy The Shaft to play them as if they were in arcades. However, if there are some elements missing from the NES version, you can hope for the arcade versions.

Sonic The Fighters can be found on Sonic Gems Collection. Otherwise, it's as likely as Tekken.
