Its a great conversion and reinforces my opinion that Super Mario World is still the King when it comes to 2D Mario games. I do have one issue with this version of the game. When playing this on the SNES or Virtual Console I ALWAYS spit out a key just as the keyhole is closing, when I have Yoshi in tow. This version doesn't allow it for some reason. It's such a small thing but it really bummed me out! Machine!!! Are they short games? Or you managed to put some serious hours in? I'm wanting to go through them too but just started Twilight Princess and Professor Layton (randomly)
Hero-of-Time Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Machine!!! Are they short games? Or you managed to put some serious hours in? I'm wanting to go through them too but just started Twilight Princess and Professor Layton (randomly) Each of them are about 3-5 hours long. A lot less if you aren't bothered about collecting everything.
Dcubed Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Machine!!! Are they short games? Or you managed to put some serious hours in? I'm wanting to go through them too but just started Twilight Princess and Professor Layton (randomly) They're not very long at all. You can blast through each of them in about 2-3 hours a piece if you're good. Short, sweet and very replayable I do have one issue with this version of the game. When playing this on the SNES or Virtual Console I ALWAYS spit out a key just as the keyhole is closing, when I have Yoshi in tow. This version doesn't allow it for some reason. It's such a small thing but it really bummed me out! Same! Drives me mental that I can't do that in the GBA version as I do it Every Single Time in the SNES original
Dcubed Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Nothing this week. Just 3DS VC titles Oh boy... This is gonna become a regular thing, isn't it...
dazzybee Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 It's strange as it seemed they were killing off the 3DS, and we all theorised that NX is like Wii U so that's why... I wonder if they're just holding back now so all the "new" VC games will launch on nx
Ike Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Hm, I wonder if the NX will use the SNES styling buttons as well, they seem to be making a big deal out them on the N3DS.

I wonder if they're just holding back now so all the "new" VC games will launch on nx We've had weeks of no games before. Doesn't mean anything. It's a bit of a jump to go to there right now
dazzybee Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 We've had weeks of no games before. Doesn't mean anything. It's a bit of a jump to go to there right now Isn't that what pre-console hype is all about Reading everything into everything!!! Makes sense too, I mean I'm hoping the whole VC library is there day one from the WIi U and 3DS; they need to add to it so why not hold off a bit... And add Gamecube...
nekunando Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Isn't that what pre-console hype is all about Reading everything into everything!!!

Imagine the hate when they just start trickling out the familiar list of NES titles again at full price..

If we have multiple weeks like this, then I'll jump on your train of thought, but it's too soon:p
S.C.G Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 N-Europe Presents VC Weekly #371 Mega Man Battle Network 6 The final chapter in the enjoyable yet completely superfluous Mega Man Battle Network series! Check inside for the verdict. Enjoy! : peace:
Hero-of-Time Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 So I bought and started Super Mario Advance 3 half an hour ago (figured I would finish the collection off) and have noticed this. You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. View post in Miiverse Is this normal? Every time a level starts or there's a transition between areas I get a black screen ( obviously normal ) but it has this strange mess included. It's not always the same layout either. I'm playing on the GamePad but I assume it's the same on the TV as well.

Dcubed Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Starfox 64 this week. 50% off until April 21st YES!!! And going by the name, it's the US version to boot! Awesome!
S.C.G Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Finally! Starfox 64 will be mine. I have Lylat Wars on the N64 and Wii Virtual Console version. True I do own Star Fox 64 3D on the 3DS which is amazing in itself but, to play the original game, with its original name and at its intended speed on a big screen AND decent sound? Priceless! Barrel Rolls will never be the same again. :wink:
Glen-i Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Metroid: Other M this week Nice! Fun game to play. Thing is though, the game doesn't have as many long loading times as Metroid Prime Trilogy and I already have the retail version. So I won't bother double dipping.
V. Amoleo Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Metroid: Other M this week Considering it requires the Wiimote pointer buying it for however much they're charging on the VC is pointless. Just pick up the physical version from Argos for £4.
Dcubed Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Nice! Fun game to play. Thing is though, the game doesn't have as many long loading times as Metroid Prime Trilogy and I already have the retail version. So I won't bother double dipping. Those loading times can be pretty lengthy actually... especially on the initial load (also with the Speed Booster, it's possible to tweak the game and force the game to stop to load... which is annoying) This Wii U re-release will fix that up nicely though
Serebii Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I may give it a go. Never got Other M when it came out (it was during the period when I was fed up with the Metroid save system...I still am, but meh), so I may pick it up
Guy Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Other M is like, £2 to buy at CEX. Just scrape the dried beans off the back of the disc and jam it into your Wii.
S.C.G Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 N-Europe Presents VC Weekly #372 Mario Kart 64 Mario Kart 64 returns in all of its 60Hz glory! Plus it does have the best battle mode of course. :wink: Check inside for the verdict. Enjoy! : peace:
