Is it fun? Yeah I think once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun. Very tricky to understand I thought.
If that's true I'm not getting any coins for mega man 3 for some weird reason. You may have to fill out the webform. Theres something in the Club Nintendo FAQ about Wii Shop games registered prior to Club Nintendo.
Or they just dont have all the kinks worked out with the compatible Wii Shop games yet.
So basically what your saying is that there are only five or six VC games that earn coins. Beautiful! Here's what counts: -Boogerman -Digital Champ -Earthworm Jim -Enduro Racer -Forgotten Worlds -Gradius 2 -Mega Man 3 -Metal Slug 2 -Secret of Mana -Sonic the Master System Hedgehog 2 -Space Harrier -Space Invaders -Street Fighter 2: Special Champion Edition
I just like good games. Any game, any genre, any time. As long as the game's good, it's really that simple. Just when I worry theres no hope for gamers today, glimmers like this appear.
I understand the need to "space things out" for marketing reasons or whatever, but this is getting stupid. I believe that part of the reason they space things out is because they NEED to space things out.
Since March, Ive been under the impression that Nintendo just doesnt have the same amount of games in their queue anymore as they have in the past. Which is part of the reason why they HAVE to release 1 or 2 games now. If it were 3 we'd probably have a few gap weeks of nothing. Its basically a measure to both allow for more time to get games from other companies and prevent the Nothing Week.
though some good VC would be VERY much appreciated... I wager something from the pool of MUSHA, Enduro Racer, Phantasy Star 4, Clayfighter, Castlevania 3, or Wonder Boy will show up tomorrow.
but I really don't understand how Europe has an entire SYSTEM America lacks I think part of it is that theyre having troubles licensing or copyrighting their stuff or something legal like that outside of Europe.
There may the possibility of more of the Strong Bad sales going to the PC version but its anybodys guess maybe I dont know. Is there sales reports of that version?
I am apalled that you could even consider comparing SA2B to the likes of the amazing Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I think by court order we might have to be enemies then seeing as how I enjoyed both of those titles. And pretty much the rest of the franchise.
I'm just happy that the VC updates every week Yeah! Thats what Im talking about!
I consider it a good update if at least one thing is added to the Shop. I consider it a great update if at least one person enjoyed or has enjoyed at least one game in the update.
Well it's a rare thing for new releases to show up that quickly, but since it has happened before, I figured I'd at least make small talk about it. Oh yeah mentioning it is fine, I just wish you wouldnt sound so sad about it! I remember the LAST time Corbie was super depressed. The surviving families got the flowers by the way.
Ok, I think I understand but it still looks odd to me to throw a fit when one pretty good game comes out compared to throwing a party when two games you'll never buy come out.
You know, I dont understand it. People are saying two games a week would make a difference but the Space Invaders/Forgotten Worlds thing a while back didnt really seem to. Most people shot down both anyway.Will having more then one game released really matter if you end up not liking any of them?
I thought the PAL release for World of Goo was going to be retail only with some extra content thrown in.....?
Yeah that was the original plan, however a few weeks back they announced theyre going through with a WiiWare release for PAL after all. Theyre shooting for a December release too I believe.
Woah thanks! I think Im a pretty good guy when Im not trying to argue a point or something like that. Ill try to avoid those kind of posts and keep a cool head if it gets me that sorta material.
The low score is obviously because Boingz was the primary antagonist responsible for the death of Corbie's parents at the beginning of Corbie Trigger.
Which wouldve been a whole lot better if the game had some other party members besides Corbie, I dont care HOW badass he looked taking on monsters all by himself. Single-handedly. With his hands tied behind his back. Blindfolded.
Wait a minute though, if Castlevania 3 or Earthbound or what have you was the only VC release then people would be so pissed there wasnt anything else they wouldnt be interested?
I bet you'd get less ridicule for your screen name than I've gotten for mine (none of it here, but all on Xbox Live, those jerks...).
You know something wierd? I thought a bunch of people on Xbox Live would give me crap for having a Nintendo name but nearly one year in and as of yet nobody has.
Yay for USB keyboard support (I have to see if it works in Animal Crossing City Folks too) It shouldve worked with AC before this update. The only channel to get the added USB support from this was the Mii Channel because well...all the other Channels already had it!
I try to remind myself of that whenever I think a VC week sucks. I believe the keyword here is week you know? I think were lucky to be recieving games week after week.
But the PS1 and Xbox Originals services on the PS3 and 360 seem to have pretty sluggish schedules. Though I suppose it takes some time trying to put up the last generation Xbox games up for download and the same may be true for PS1 games but itd be nice if there was some sort of schedule. Unless theres a hidden pattern to those that I havent noticed.
Because if you dont like the newest classic game they put up who knows how long you have to wait for it to update again?
Im just happy enough that the list grows week after week, I dont care what comes out or how many, as long as something is added to the library, its cool with me.

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (17th Dec)
You know what guys? You might as well just make that World of Goo picture the same picture you use for every article.
"New Discipline info! Here's a picture of World of Goo too!"
Re: Club Nintendo Comes To North America
@Shadx
Youre in the dark there! Im afraid none of those are eligible for Club Nintendo coins.
Also as long as were bragging, right now I have 1320 coins. More once I find my stuff for Wii Fit, Mario Sluggers, and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeons.

Re: Club Nintendo Comes To North America
Theyre the playing cards that Nintendo made when they first started in 1889. The Mario ones are a throwback to those old old old times.
Also the game is listed as Koi-Koi in Clubhouse Games, which is where I learned how to play it. Well a little....
Re: Club Nintendo Comes To North America

Re: Club Nintendo Comes To North America
What's this news got to do with the Virtual Console btw?
Any VC game bought from this point onwards will be worth 10 Coins here.
Re: Review: Big Kahuna Party (WiiWare)
Well it really doesnt sound all that bad.

Re: USA VC Update: Enduro Racer
when the still have a huge stack of first party games
Thats also a case of Nintendo not wanting to run out of their own tricks too soon.
Re: Review: Strong Bad Episode 5 - 8-Bit is Enough (WiiWare)
I blame Trogdor for burninating MaBoShi's Arcade!
Look, lets just try to avoid talking about Dangeresque 4: The Maboshi Projective right now ok?
Re: Review: Strong Bad Episode 5 - 8-Bit is Enough (WiiWare)
Strong Bad wasnt holding up Cave Story! Thats been a 2009 release from the start.

Re: Tiki Towers Lined Up For A Christmas WiiWare Launch
I coudlve sworn when Cave Story was revealed it was listed as a Q1 2009 date.
Dont tell me Im the only one who obsessively read Nintendo's Fact Sheets!
Re: Fun! Fun! Minigolf Wants To Be In Your Christmas Stocking!
So then December 22 will be Fun Fun Mini-Golf and Tiki Towers.
See to it The Prophecy comes true.

Is there sales reports of that version?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bruiser & Scratch, Hockey Allstar Shootout
I am apalled that you could even consider comparing SA2B to the likes of the amazing Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I think by court order we might have to be enemies then seeing as how I enjoyed both of those titles. And pretty much the rest of the franchise.
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
I'm just happy that the VC updates every week
Yeah! Thats what Im talking about!
I consider it a good update if at least one thing is added to the Shop.
I consider it a great update if at least one person enjoyed or has enjoyed at least one game in the update.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Buster & Scratch, Hockey Allstar Shootout
I dont believe in bad Sonic games.
....or bad video games....
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
They went out of Master System order! Enduro Racer was next to be prophecized! Its the end of the world! Apocolypse Now!
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Art Style: Rotohex, Bang!, Pit Crew Panic!, and Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3
Oh Im sure we'll be dropping to single WiiWare releases every now and again pretty soon.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (3rd Dec)
Fine, write off all my hopes of watching you do the Charleston!
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (3rd Dec)
Corbie, if you need filler, I suggest doing a song and dance routine. Itll be bigger then High School Musical!
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (3rd Dec)
Well it's a rare thing for new releases to show up that quickly, but since it has happened before, I figured I'd at least make small talk about it.
Oh yeah mentioning it is fine, I just wish you wouldnt sound so sad about it!
I remember the LAST time Corbie was super depressed. The surviving families got the flowers by the way.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (3rd Dec)
Im always a bit confused about why theres lament about the new releases not showing up on the list 2 days after theyre released.
Re: USA VC Update: Metal Slug 2
Ok, I think I understand but it still looks odd to me to throw a fit when one pretty good game comes out compared to throwing a party when two games you'll never buy come out.
Re: Bplus Gets The Ball Rolling With Niki – Rock 'n' Ball
Also, I don't know if anyone has noticed but Paint-n-Twist dropped to 1000 points in US a while back.
Thats what it was when it was initially released here.
Unless thats what you meant. Sorry.
Re: Eternity’s Child – Still Alive, Coming in 2009
Out of gaming? Thats what you think! Luc Bernard is secretly every WiiWare developer!

Re: USA VC Update: Metal Slug 2
Nah Im pretty sure DreamLand 3 isnt affected by Superstar DS.

Re: EU VC Update: Metal Slug 2, Forgotten Worlds and Space Invaders
But you ARE getting World of Goo! On WiiWare!
Re: Review: Boingz (WiiWare)
"I dont understand it George! What is the DEAL with that Strong Bad? What kind of word is Dangeresque anyway?"
Re: Review: Boingz (WiiWare)
I know I did because I was standing there when I did it.
Corbie doesnt use mortal objects like chairs anymore. Not since The Incident.
Re: Review: Boingz (WiiWare)
Woah thanks! I think Im a pretty good guy when Im not trying to argue a point or something like that. Ill try to avoid those kind of posts and keep a cool head if it gets me that sorta material.

Based on a true story.
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
Why can't Nintendo release the games we want not the games nobody wants.
Ugh...I HATE comments like these because of the silly generalization that NOBODY wants the games.
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
Wait a minute though, if Castlevania 3 or Earthbound or what have you was the only VC release then people would be so pissed there wasnt anything else they wouldnt be interested?
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
I think Boogerman's "gross-out" factor is probably why.
Re: USA VC Update: Boogerman
Hmmmm will Clayfighter and Earthworm Jim 2 make it out before 2008 is over with? I think one of them is going to get January'd.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Cubello, Cue Sports, Cooking Jam and Strong Bad 3

Oh NOW I get it!
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Cubello, Cue Sports, Cooking Jam and Strong Bad 3
Wait whats up with the news story picture?
Re: Virtual Console Reviews is Two Today!
I bet you'd get less ridicule for your screen name than I've gotten for mine (none of it here, but all on Xbox Live, those jerks...).
You know something wierd? I thought a bunch of people on Xbox Live would give me crap for having a Nintendo name but nearly one year in and as of yet nobody has.
Re: Wii Firmware Update Makes Transferring to SD Faster
Yay for USB keyboard support (I have to see if it works in Animal Crossing City Folks too)
It shouldve worked with AC before this update. The only channel to get the added USB support from this was the Mii Channel because well...all the other Channels already had it!
Re: Wii Firmware Update Makes Transferring to SD Faster
What amazes me is that I thought something like this would happen in the spring with the "Save to SD" update. Glad to see it now!
Re: Virtual Console Reviews is Two Today!
So Im guessing its 200 Wii Points per slice of cake?
Re: USA VC Update: Forgotten Worlds and Space Invaders
I try to remind myself of that whenever I think a VC week sucks.
I believe the keyword here is week you know? I think were lucky to be recieving games week after week.
But the PS1 and Xbox Originals services on the PS3 and 360 seem to have pretty sluggish schedules. Though I suppose it takes some time trying to put up the last generation Xbox games up for download and the same may be true for PS1 games but itd be nice if there was some sort of schedule. Unless theres a hidden pattern to those that I havent noticed.
Because if you dont like the newest classic game they put up who knows how long you have to wait for it to update again?
Re: USA VC Update: Forgotten Worlds and Space Invaders
Im just happy enough that the list grows week after week, I dont care what comes out or how many, as long as something is added to the library, its cool with me.
