Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - September 2010

OMG super hang on. Im sure this will get released over here when theres a VC drought.

Excellent Game and hopefully moving us closer to Powerdrift, Outrun and Afterburner 2 arcade EMU's.

Has music as catchy as outrun and runs as a very smooth super scaler game.

Re: Review: F-Zero GX (GameCube)

QUOTE[The main bulk of the game will be found in Grand Prix mode; here you can challenge three cups (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) with another to unlock. Each cup contains five races and you are awarded points depending on which position you finish in;]

Just goes to show how hard this game is that people dont even know about the fact that this game has 26 tracks. Most people including the reviewer believe there to be 20.

Ruby Saphire and Emerald cups are available out of the box. 15 tracks

Diamond is unlockable after completing normal mode for the above 3 cups. 5 more

Then and this is the big one if you complete all four cups above on master diffuculty, then you unlock the AX Cup which are the tracks from the arcade machine (5 tracks). The graphics on these ones are far in advance of the console ones. Another track is available sonic oval which can be used in time attack. The arcade set up had you play all 6 in one go.

An alternative way to unlock them was if you had a memory card and went to the arcade machine you could unlock the AX tracks by coming first in them and taking the saved data back to your gamecube.

The AX cars which were from the arcade are all unlockable on the GC version but get this. You had to finish Story Mode on Very hard.

TALK ABOUT MAKING YOU WORK.

Still a great review notheless..

Re: Review: F-Zero GX (GameCube)

This is the best software that you can insert into your WII still. A game made by the sega man that made daytona usa. Sega have a big victory here although they are now friends with nintendo anyway. The developer who masterminded the F zero series has said on record that after this game he doesnt know where to take the series further. Basically sega took the whole franchise to its limit of perfection where its definately apparent that how do you take this further in this generation. Where do we go from here. No wonder a strong F Zero game hasnt come out for the last seven years.

The only game that has come close to this level of hardcore play in the last few years is outrun2. People who own nintendo machines dont really realise how hardcore this game is and what the value of it will be in years to come. They are too transfixed on casual games as Super Smash Bros, the latest mario or zelda.

Re: Nintendo "Happy with Virtual Console Pricing"

outrun2sp

Sucks cos I could have Metal Slug (the great game that is worth over a grand in cartridge form) but will not play a game thats 50hz when it was 60hz on its console and 60hz in the arcade.

Playing any neogeo games at 50hz is a disservice to the machine.

Re: Nintendo "Happy with Virtual Console Pricing"

outrun2sp

Im happy with all PC engine purchases and super mario bros 2.

The rest just doesnt exist cos 50hz is untouchable. Thanks to all the people out there buying 50hz games and hence supporting it they will never change it either. hmmppphhhh

Re: Monster Hunter Tri, Sin and Punishment Nowhere to Be Seen in UK Charts

outrun2sp

For too long all we have seen on the shelves in the UK is chicken blaster, animal crossing and sing it songstar. Dirt titles like that that pretty much have alienated anyone who wants decent games.

When you look at the ps3, 360 and see street fighter 4 running, forza etc its no wonder. Also 50hz virtual console so why bother with the machine they think.

Re: Review: The King of Fighters '95 (Virtual Console / Neo Geo)

outrun2sp

Should be 8/10.

Excellent game and the super turbo of King of Fighters for its time. Has proper 2 in 1's and excellent combo opportunities. Very good soundtrack especially in this case the chip set one.

When this came out everyone was playing this, super turbo and mortal kombat 2 in the arcades. That was a good choice to have.

Only problem I have with the game is the damage protection is too low.

Good times.

Re: Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem

outrun2sp

I got my megadrive chipped around the time that street fighter came out on it. 1993. Ever since never played anything at 50hz.

60hz saturn and only import games bought. No money for sega europe.
japanese DC and no 50hz game on the machine. I even got the american Code Veronica.

Re: Talking Point: The Virtual Console's PAL Problem

outrun2sp

People that have paid for these versions have allowed nintendo to get away with this. Shame on you all.

I have never, ever got a pal version on VC.

Now they are releasing neo-geo games in 50hz. Shocking.

50hz is untouchable and ruins the WII's credibility in europe.

I like the WII but im off to play Final Fight double impact and am looking forward to afterburner climax.

Re: Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Could Be On Its Way

outrun2sp

Iron man Sega
Spiderman Activision
Hulk Universal interactive
Wolverine Activision

Still think its marvel vs capcom 3 lol. Will capcom approach these companies.

What they need to do is release Capcom VS Snk 3 or release 2 on wiiware which I cant imagine so release on PSN and Xbox live.

Sorry guys but being a wii owner its clear as to why people prefer the HD systems.

Blazblue, Street Fighter 4, Outrun, Afterburner Climax, Mass Effect, Forza, Yakuza, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March 2010 (Europe)

Betagam7.

Pulseman, Gley Lancer and columns 3 are hanabi (which is a stupid term nintendo europe have come up with by the way). Anyway they all give a 60hz only warning and are locked in 50hz no matter what setting you have your console on. I run in 480i and they look absolutely dreadfull. Horribly upscaled and bordered. So you have a valid arguement.

Ironclad is the same. I tried metal slug and never got a neo geo game again on VC. Its so badly pixellated that it looks like the mobile version I have on my nokia n95.

Another nitpick. Dynastic hero which is one of the most sought after games on the TG16 after rondo of blood runs in 60hz but the sound is out of sync. Its like theyve used a cue sheet that is 2 seconds out and with each new track it gets worse and worse, near the end of the game tracks are beginning 14 seconds into the song. I have seen videos and this doesnt happen on the american version. I complained and they said something about when a game is submitted it is complete.

I am a bit of a hardcore gamer so may be hated by some for my smash bros comments but I vent opinions anyway. So many people are buying 50hz versions of games and not complaining that I dont think they will ever change it. Im suprised to see some of the people that are getting them here as they seem to know about their games but still buy them.

Paying with a credit card for that 50hz rubbish. Wont be me I tell you.

50hz is untouchable for me. Im 32, back in 1993 i had a sony tv that ran 60hz from the megadrive days onwards. Only in the 8 bit generation was I running 50hz so I kinda am ok with that.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March 2010 (Europe)

outrun2sp

People that supported 50hz in the first place are guilty of keeping it this way and its too late to change. The ones that said, well it was like that in the first place. Look at the charts, they are paying for sonic, golden axe at 50hz.

It does Betagam. People would have paid money based on the incorrect information.

Add all hanabi md games to that list too as they say 60hz.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March 2010 (Europe)

outrun2sp

I think all of the emulators on WII are hard coded to 50 hz except for the TG16 and NES. Cant think why theyve done it like this. A stupid oversight I predict.

50hz neo geo games is a disgrace. 50hz import neo geo games is even worse.

Nintendo have lost so many sales from me because of this. I would have most likely had 60 or so games accross snes / md and neo geo if it wasnt for this.
