@Viral. Sounds like sour grapes Viral Something tells me you will indeed be buying Brawl on release, just like the rest of us. You would be foolish to miss out on such a gaming spectacular!! My Wii has been choc a bloc since Christmas time now and have had to delete maybe four or five games, including an N64 title. I dont even have space for todays Wii-Ware releases, and I dont feel like memory managment tonite. But hey, what can you do right? Im still havin a blast with the online MK competitions and races at the moment, so Im hopin for the same fun with SSBB
Well im not a shooter fan but thats ok. Im still playing metal slug from last week (I know its a shooter too, but not like these) By the way, six days without an update? Did just nothing happen in the land of VC for a week? Or did the boys just take a holiday? Thats ok if ye did, yer doin a great job
Deadly, I never got to play a metal slug or Neo-Geo game so this will be a must for me. In fact, Id probly be playing this right now if my Nintendo Wi-Fi USB connector wasnt so unreliable. Honestly, its really driving me nuts, I was trying to compete in the mario kart competition last night and it refused to connect. The deadline is tomorrow!!! As for Cho-Aniki, Im glad the VC has opened its arms to such a diverse game, however I will be passing on this title.
Hmmm, while I aprove of an arcade joystick peripheral, Im not too impressed with the design. I like the six big buttons, and steel core stick is a great idea. But Im not feelin this wobbly wavey lookin base. Loved the square Neo-Geo design, but not this. The white looks like crap, but midnight black is pretty cool. $40? I'll pass on this, now if they released a Neo-Geo stick with six buttons and a steel core stick Id be all over that bad boy!
Aahhh!! I'll buy it at a high price! No, wait, no I wont! 600 points should suffice. But whatever they do, lets hope it dosent get messy with prices like 650 or 720 or something stupid like that. Think of all the spare Wii points!!!
Nintendo giveth, and Nintendo taketh away. @LOCKELOCKE dont forget the brutal censoring duke nukem 64 got, it was awful. Thats a real shame about BC. I think I remember playing that one years ago on C64, the second level would never load!
"I assert that if that were true, then why are so many sprite based, 2-D games and even 3-D games with either innovative game-play or spot-on old school mechanics being outsold by graphic powerhouses with stale game-play or sequels that do nothing to move a series forward other than step up the tech and game engines" This is because people are stupid. FACT
My first console was Atari 2600 by the way, and iv had one of each generation since. So im guessin you cant be too much older then me manicfatty!
Seriously, stop giving half the game away in the clips. Just the first level would have sufficed. Ye ruined alot of the jokes here for people who havnt played this before.
Id buy this, id also buy a megadrive and N64 version if they were available too. Im not a big fan of the classic controller, the D-pad is great but the pad itselfs not too comfortable in my hands
True, I cant wait for Brawl, I know its going to be incredible. But right now racing online mario kart with friends is too much fun Considering we were still playing double dash here up till yesterday, I expect the life span of mario kart wii to be quite some time indeed. WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, hard luck US, still no C64? Your missin out on some quality Impossible Mission. By the way, MARIO KART Wii IS FLIPPIN FANTASTIC!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I had a think about this one: 1. Mayhem in monsterland (C64) 2. Sonic CD (Mega CD) 3. Flashback (Megadrive) 4. Mario Kart (SNES) 5. Creatures2 (C64)
So there you have it, its not in a particular order and I know they have all been mentioned by someone else here already, but they are just games I really want. Contenders for a top ten include:
6. Terminator2 (C64) 7. Micro machines2 (Mega drive) 8. Revenge of Shinobi (Mega Drive) 9. Another world (Mega drive) 10. Lemmings (any)
.................................................................................................................................................(This is me giving VC review the silent tretment after this cruel hoax)
I dont understand how ppl can download this crap. it might have been good a 100 years ago but its so basic now. it makes me laugh just looking at it. 500 points eh. i wouldnt download it if it was free with a bonus wii point card through the post, not ever nope not ever
I think your in the wrong place buddy. Im guessin your one of these gamers discovering classics for the frist time (i.e your first console was probly PS2, maybe PS), this my friend, is a gem.
Wow, plenty of VC news today eh!? Im likin the idea of the bomberman multiplayer alrite, sure who ever bothered with the single player in a bomberman game anyway? Those other three are meh for me
Deadly game, I remember I bought this on its release. Id imagine Nintendo would sort it so we have access to the full sonic3 and knuckles experience. After all, once locked on, extra zones and bosses were opened up at the end as well, and we dont deserve to miss out on them!
You have given us a lot to think about. yeah maybe I moan a bit on individual releases, but to take a step back and look at the big picture, I think we are fairly spoilt
You know I havent bought anything from virtual console since super-metroid? I live in hope, but its getting tough when titles are consistently crappy and unappealing. I find myself playing a lot more PC games
