S.C.G Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 VC... or not VC? That is the question. I'm very hopeful that the service will be launching in at least some capacity tomorrow. Probably with a few representative titles for each digital format, hopefully titles we haven't seen before, maybe something like this... NES - Dragon Warrior SNES - Starwing N64 - Bomberman 64 The Second Attack GBA - Mother 3 GC - Wace Race: Blue Storm So that way, we'd start with getting VC titles which we haven't had before at least and the rest of the existing library could be ported over if it isn't already ready that is. Beyond that, I don't know, even the above titles might not come out but I know that they would certainly be a good start, especially if they somehow managed to get Starwing up and running. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 NES - Dragon Warrior SNES - Starwing N64 - Bomberman 64 The Second Attack GBA - Mother 3 GC - Wace Race: Blue Storm Don't toy with my heart. It still annoys me that SFX games haven't been on the VC system. I would love a journalist to quiz Nintendo and find out the real reason why they haven't been part of the library.

I would love a journalist to quiz Nintendo and find out the real reason why they haven't been part of the library. They should just put an FX chip in every console. I need to play the proper version of Yoshi's Island as I've only ever played the GBA version. Maybe that's why I'm not the biggest fan of that game..

Grazza Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 NES - Dragon Warrior I actually played that on Android. : peace: And the 2nd game. Must finish the 3rd sometime; then that's all the mainline Dragon Quests done (apart from X). They should just put an FX chip in every console. I need to play the proper version of Yoshi's Island as I've only ever played the GBA version. Maybe that's why I'm not the biggest fan of that game.. No, that's not the reason...

Ike Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 PLEEEEEASE!!! 9 hours is excessive isn't it? It has to be SOMETHING!?!! Probably prepping the first major firmware update (hopefully). Don't toy with my heart. It still annoys me that SFX games haven't been on the VC system. I would love a journalist to quiz Nintendo and find out the real reason why they haven't been part of the library. Isn't it a legal/licensing issue to do with the chip? They're perfectly capable of emulating the games since the Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why the GBA version of Yoshi's Island is perfectly OK to put on the WiiU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Reggie mentions the spotlight to be "fast and to the point", so I'm expecting it to be in the format of the last few Directs. Sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Or he's referencing F-Zero :P F-Zero+Metroid: Federation Force Racing On a serious note, though, I kind of hope Nintendo can save what has felt like an average E3 so far with their Spotlight and Treehouse Livestream. I can't remember feeling this underwhelmed watching E3 last year, at least. Perhaps it's because Ubisoft has been the only one to get it right, and surprise us all with Beyond Good & Evil 2? Other than that, there have been very, very few major surprises this year, it feels. It's in Nintendo's hand as to whether or not they steal the show from everyone once again now.

Kav Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I wanted to see a, built from the ground up for Switch, Monster Hunter but can't see that happening now. I also want to see more of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and I'd like to see a Waverace and a 3D Metroid (a 2D one would feel too much of a throwback, plus there's a good few games of this ilk on Switch already).

Happenstance Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I really hope a good amount of games are announced tonight. I'm not necessarily at the point where I'm regretting my Switch purchase but I would like to know theres some stuff on the horizon for me. Not being interested in Splatoon or Arms puts a bit of a downer on this year until Mario really. This is why I wanted the VC up as early as possible as well.

Yeah, i'm eager for something to play on the platform, even if it is just some of the classics. I need that Virtual Console ASAP. I'm still picking up ARMS this week but i'm not that excited for it.

Serebii Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Man I certainly hope so! Everything about it has turned out correct, so it's all good. Of course it means Capcom are in chaos due to the signing and changes and that Sony literally paid them to put it on whatever device they wanted except Switch, which is madness.

I'm sick of the series being held back by being on the weaker platforms. Had a Switch version been made then I imagine the PS4/One versions would have to be compromised. I'll quite happily take 2 very different versions of Monster Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Business is business I guess, fair play to Sony for doing that. World seems perfectly suited for home consoles with extra power for the online functionality, whereas Switch is leading the charge with portability and local play. Speaking of which lots of e3 shows I've been Watching the presenters all talking about their Switch's etc, feel like a lot of buzz and Nintendo have a really big opportunity to lay down a marker today, if they get this presentation right and generate the buzz that Microsoft failed to do, I really think k they could be headed for PS4 levels of popularity. ... I'm sure they'll fuck it up somehow though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo are a company they are constantly taking one step forward and two back. I think its on them to actually earn back trust from their consumers.

Have two series - one for the powerful and developed online consoles and one for the portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
