Re: SD Card Game Launching + Arcade Games Available on VC Now!

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I'm buying an SD card now! This is much better! Now the card can act as a memory card instead of a storage bin.

I'm surprised they're doing arcade games now, when they already have Pac-Man, Space Invaders, etc.

Still, this is great! Now, would the 2GB be sufficient or would the 4GB one be recommended?

I suppose they focus on the lesser titles because it's easier to get the rights for them. Also, the lesser systems like C64 and TG16 are easier to emulate (C64 especially). N64 is probably the hardest for them. I've been hoping for Saturn, but that might be too complex for them.

I've beaten SBCG4AP episode 1, so maybe I could try beating the next four episodes and by then hopefully something will have come out.

Why do I even check? Nowadays it's always one game, and one I could not care less about. Remember that the Christmas '08 release was one game as well, so they're just squeezing out the games one by one.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 3

I loved this game. The Mario Bros. Easter egg in multiplayer mode was awesome. It's a shame it didn't have saving (although the GBA version does).

Re: Mega Man 2

Why'd they have to release five sequels of Mega Man onto the NES? It only makes it longer to get to the SNES version.

Re: Galaga

Arcade games can be played with the 3rd-party accessory known as The Shaft, designed with a joystick and buttons for that classic arcade feel.

Re: Dig Dug

Arcade games are best left in the arcades. However, I heard that there's a 3rd-party controller out there known as the Shaft, which is designed to make it so that arcade games like this, Space Invaders, etc can be played as if they were in arcades.

Re: Ice Hockey

I tried this game, and was disappointed that there weren't very many countries in it. I took it back. I'd rather play Tecmo Super Hockey.

Re: Mega Man 3

I guess we won't see Mega Man 7 for awhile considering how long it's taken to get this far. Good thing I have the collection for GC. However, using the GC controller is awkward.

Re: Kid Icarus

I tried the demo, but it feels too much like Kirby. They should create a new one using Pit's current form. That'd be sweet.

Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I downloaded this to give Kirby another chance after Squeak Squad sucked. I love this game! It combines the fun of sidescrollers with a new 3D twist. The sidescrolling aspect is annoying sometimes, but it still looks cool nonetheless. It's the first Kirby game I ever liked, and convinced me to get Super Star Ultra (which I also like).

Re: Mario Kart 64

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I love it. I thas the nostalgic feel of SMK with the modern elements of MKDD. The characters look like they came out of SMRPG.

Re: Yoshi's Story

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

This game is good for exploring. It's not about beating it, but beating it well. It's very cute, like the whole series. The "2.5-D" thing implies that it has isometrics and Yoshi is in 3D, but the rest is 2D.

Re: Star Fox 64

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I tried this game as a kid, but didn't like it. Now I'm hooked, but wish that the game saved after every boss battle (like Assault does). It's cool nonetheless, but it really needs the vibration function. Will Nintendo please update the software so that we can have the rumble? Please.....?

Re: Paper Mario

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

I got Paper Mario TYD after being disappointed at the lack of traditional elements in Sunshine. I got hooked on TYD and eventually got Super Paper Mario and have since downloaded Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG. I even have M&L Partners In Time

Re: Mario Bros.

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

This is the first time I've ever had this game other than the GBA enhancement. It rocks! SSB Brawl partially convinced me to download it. It is so addictive!

Re: US VC Releases - 5th May - Pokemon Puzzle League

The_Ink_Pit_Ox

Another boring update. Meh.

Considering they already have Star Fox 64 and Mario Kart 64, I'm surprised they don't don't already have the originals. The same goes for Super Mario RPG. How can they have the N64 versions and not the SNES versions? Another thing is that they have Kirby and Yoshi for the NES and N64, but not the SNES.

One thing I've always hoped for, but probably will never see is the Disney Afternoon series.
