Posted January 26, 2017 I was kinda interested, but then i saw each game costing 7,99. Was kinda expecting to get all 3 games for 7,99. =[ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 26, 2017 I enjoyed reading that, @S\.C\.G., even though my verdict on the games is different (I'm one of the purists you speak of who prefers 2 to 3). To me, Final Fight is one of the true greats, only surpassed by Double Dragon. The latter is the game of my childhood, whereas the former is the game of my early teenage years. Nothing takes me back to the early 1990s like Final Fight. It is the absolute epitome of 16-bit brawlers - the perfect formula of chunky sprites and satisfying gameplay. Neither as slow and measured as the Sega games (eg. Golden Axe), nor as throwaway and licence-dependent as the Konami brawlers. Many will say Streets of Rage 2 surpasses it. Whilst it's extremely impressive what they achieved on the Mega Drive, Final Fight just pips it for me. In recent years, I've played both over and over again - SoR2 on the 3DS and Final Fight One on the Wii U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 30, 2017 Wow! I thought they had given up on Wii U VC releases in Europe! Great to see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 6, 2017 Oh, NOW we get a Square Enix game! Bit late! Kinda weird that we get this one only and not March of the Black Queen, considering that we got it on the Wii VC, but ahh well. It's a good 'un guys! Brilliant, brilliant game! Any fan of strategy RPGs (and those with a lot of patience) would do well to dive right into this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2017 I'm running out of hope for ExciteBots.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2017 I'm tempted by Ogre Battle but what's the point... If only we knew what they were doing with Switch VC.... Surely this week Nintendo; 3 weeks to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2017 I've never even heard of this game but I love me some obscure N64 stuff, this is the kinda thing I like from the Virtual Console! I'm glad it's not totally dead on WiiU yet. As for Excite Bots, I'm losing hope too @nekunando After our mention of it a few weeks ago though I fired it up on the Wii and it's as crazy as I remember (though those red bars are even MORE exhausting than I thought) - It'd be so nice to play it on the WiiU with less fuzz. Some of the fun is lost thanks to the closure of online, mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the fun is lost thanks to the closure of online, mind I've never played the game at all so to have been able to experience it on Wii U would have been great. Hopefully there's still a chance or, perhaps preferably, we somehow see it on Switch If only we knew what they were doing with Switch VC.... Surely this week Nintendo; 3 weeks to go! I'm certainly interested to see what happens, partly because I never did the Wii-Wii U system transfer and largely ignored the Wii U VC. I don't imagine I'll ever move anything from my original Wii but I wouldn't have any qualms with gutting the Wii U of the few titles I did download and moving them to Switch!

Posted February 6, 2017 If only we knew what they were doing with Switch VC.... Surely this week Nintendo; 3 weeks to go! I hope they clear this up soon and are providing some way of transferring the content over. I've bought quite a few VC games, most recently Pikachu Poke Park (a whopping £17.99, but it is great!) and various N64 ones. They are pretty expensive, but there's still more like F-Zero X I'd like to buy. The VC works incredibly well and Nintendo would be mad to change anything, we'd just need the exact same compatibility on the Switch. One issue is around Wiimote support, for the Wii games on VC at least... I truly hope I can just bin the Wiimotes with this generation and use the Joy-cons instead. Not sure how likely that is, but I'd be surprised if the Switch had sensor bar support (sorry if this is already known and I missed it). For some reason I have a feeling we'll need to keep the Wii U around for at least a year until they add VC support to Switch, but I hope I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 20, 2017 Harvest Moon 64 Oh wow! That's a legit surprise! They tried to get that re-released back in the day on the Wii VC and weren't able to, so I never expected it to ever get a re-release! Great to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 20, 2017 Still refuse to buy anything until we know what's going on with switch. Shame as I'd definitely get this! Two great games in 2 weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) We know what's happening with the Switch. We all know... Yep, it will be: - Pay - Again - For the same games - you already own - But are less playable now - Because of discontinued support of (online) features - Without any form of compensation or acknowledgement So basicaly the message: Did you heavily support the Wii U?? How stupid, but thanks for all your money now pay again! I know I'm on repeat and that Nintendo isn't obliged to offer any form of reduction or compensation. Just doesn't feel like the Nintendo way of dealing with these kinds of issues. Maybe they've changed attitude with the switch (sorry) from the apologetic but empathetic Iwata to the tough but smart Kimishima? I feel less joy & warmth from their current business decisions but at this point their strategy seems to attract more consumers.

Bomberman 64 is one of the good ones, right..? I've never played Bomberman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 8, 2017 Bomberman 64 is one of the good ones, right..? I've never played Bomberman Bomberman 64 is a good 'un but it's very different from the rest. While most other Bomberman games are strictly 2D in gameplay and work on a set grid, B64 instead works in 3D space (horizontally and vertically); allowing for free movement and features explosions that are spherical. Like all Bomberman games though, the multiplayer is the meat and potatoes of the game; so if you don't have buddies to play with, I can't really recommend it much. It's a blast in multiplayer though!
