lol u've got your wires crossed, I've got tons of ninty console all hammered and all work, its sony's that die the day after the warrenty runs out

live in a pal region and am buying localy I'm goin to woolies when they do a pre order, game and gamestation like every other store don't know how many they're gettin, so they could take 500 pre orders at my local store and only get alocated 300 wii's woolworths won't pre order until they know how many they're getting, plus they won't try to rip u off like game and gamestation/game did with the 360 launch - what a mess that turned out to be lol

anyway here the links to the offical sites, surly nintendo europe are'nt too busy to put the msx/pc engine pics on their site http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/features/virtual_console.html http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?site=w_virtual_console.html&l=enGB I really hope its a big mix up, are the VC games definatly region locked?

Hense 'rumor' in the title

fook it I'm moving back to Ohio! lol

US/JAP get 30 we get 15 and no MSX nor PC engine stuff, unless u have or played these consoles you won't realise what a shitload of classic games we miss out on. Not to mention the JAP/US only NES,SNES +N64 games we won't get either it should all be region free so anyone can download any game from anywhere but as usual nintendo love to mess things up roll on the piss poor UK ad campaign

I was speaking to my bro yesterday (ohio) and he said theres a rumour going about, about the european VC games. He said apparently why there is only 15 games on launch for europe is because not only are the games region locked but nintendo has decided that only the consoles released in your country will u see the VC games for. Simply this means if you live in the US/JAP your fine but yet again nintendo has thrown another shovel of shit on the euorpean's, as the MSX and PC Engine did'nt hit their shores it means only NES, SNES and N64 games will be availible, So not only are we paying more than the rest of the world, we wait longer as usual (and sometimes don't even get the games!) and now we miss out on a potentially huge back catalog of excellent games. I suppose the only way around it is to import a US/JAP machine as I asume the only way they can regional lock the games and terrorties is via a regristration scheme like the PSP. I'm not sure wether this is old news to u lot but as an american living in the UK this is a big shiny nintendo boot in my bollox lol Anyway I looked on the officail wii sites and the rumor seems to be truth - bummer

yeh nintendo do some stupid things, the potential of the VC is HUGE but limitting what we can have has already spoilt it, now all they have to do is not allow any of the classics from all the formats onto the VC and it will be a disaster! its alright us listing what we want but I fear we won't see it, for example if you wanted gunstar heros on the megadrive, altho sega owns the console surely its down to the developer (treasure) if it goes onto the VC?

They need to get pods in the shops now! people need to see it! nintendo are in a good place but i fear their useless marketing sector will ruin it again!

I forgot to add pilotwings to my snes list as for n64 games personally I would'nt bother, I have a vast collection and altho I still play the zelda's the n64 games hav'nt aged well at all, most look/play/move really bad, but 2D never ages (16bit onwards I mean)

I can't imagine this being true, It have spread to websites all over the world like wild fire, some post on a forum does'nt convince me and either way if it was true, when sunshines thru my window I can't see the tv so I have to shut the blinds anyway lol not to mention in the UK the sun only appears for a week per year lol

What games top the list of the games you'd like to see on the virtua console? My list would be huge so heres my fave wanna'sees lol Snes: Zelda Mario Kart Mario World Yoshi's Island F-Zero Starwing Zombies Megadrive: Gunstar Heros Dynamite Heady Streets Of Rage This is a very small selection, theres way more I'd want to see not to mention all the other consoles....but I hav'nt got all day lol What about you?

I've think this years pre ps3 comments from sony have been very comical, its funny the way each of their divisions disgrees or completly contradicts the other. Firstly was the arrogant rant about sony not caring about competition, thinking the playstation brand alone will sell the ps3 *cough* psx anyone? *cough* Then we seen what the ps3 can really do....and altho powerful its not quiet the beast originally claimed...suprised they did'nt show the final fantasy movie from the cinema again LMAO ah yes then there was the pad, they could'nt put rumble and the 6 axis in the same pad, it was too exspensive, it could'nt be done..... then a 3rd party did it for penny's lol - nothing to do with the fact they got sued for ripping of the rumble in the first place ofcourse........ Last but not least the recent statment announcing history shows that consumers in europe don't mind delays and having to wait for games etc ?? er....okay, they've got a point tho, I mean I was born in the USA but live in the UK and sure I don't mind waiting till hell freezers over before I buy a PS3 Anyone got anymore tidbits?

its so sad when the majority of consumers are obsessed with polygon counts, no wonder EA tops the charts with its boring yearly updates and 90% of ps2 games are glitter covered turds if the wii is 3 times more powerful than the cube then I'm happy, call me old skool but i prefere gameplay over shiny bonnets and geek porn (DOA: beach volley ball) if the wii can produce 3 times that of F-Zero GX then I'm more the happy and i don't give a rats ass if it aint got HD bollox in it, what makes people think I want to spend £1k on another tv lol laugh on sony fanboys but i'll have the last laugh wen yer machine dies 3 days after the warreny for the 4th time, see how good poo-ray is then muhahahaha
