darksnowman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Rare Says Goldeneye Download Never ComingSeriously, stop getting your hopes up. by Jim Reilly US, September 21, 2009 - Any hope fans had of reliving gaming's glory days with a re-release of Rare's classic Goldeneye 007 title need to be put to rest. On the company's reader mail 'Scribe' section, it was asked if an agreement could ever be reached to bring the title to Xbox Live Arcade of Wii's Virtual Console. Rare, very eloquently, gave the bad news. "That was some time ago, my friend," it said. "Fate was against us that day. Destiny conspired to raise the hurdles even as we attempted to clear them, resulting in unpleasant groinal injury. I suspect we're long past the stage where an agreement was on the cards, but you never know. Stranger things have happened... somewhere... probably." Rare has moved on, you should, too. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/102/1026810p1.html And that's that I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 but you never know. Stranger things have happened. Confirmed: Goldeneye 2010 Q1 release Seriously, that is sad news indeed. For a game that sold ~8 million, you'd think someone would be willing to make a huge effort to overcome those groinal injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's a sad day when even the mods don't read the main site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOverThere Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It was never going to happen. To get everyone to agree would be a real bitchtit. Thankfully, I've still got my 64 right under my Wii to whip out whenever I need my fix. Though I must warn, the memories are better then the game itself.

Ike Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Final Fantasy has been rated by the ESRB. FINAL FANTASY Platform: Wii Rating: Everyone Content descriptors: Mild Fantasy Violence Rating summary: This is a role-playing game (RPG) in which players embark on a journey to find four magical crystals that can restore peace to the world. Players move small character icons across a 2D map to explore the world and enter into battles. Players select attacks/spells from a menu screen to use against an assortment of pirates, zombies, and monsters, causing them to blink and disappear when defeated. Hopefully we'll get Dragon Quest/Warrior at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 FINAL FANTASY II Platform: Wii Rating: Everyone Content descriptors: Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes Rating summary: This is a 2D role-playing game (RPG) in which players embark on an adventure involving magic crystals and a quest to save the world from destruction. Players move small character icons across a field map and enter turn-based battles with an assortment of imps, dragons, and robots. Weapons and special attacks (e.g., "magic," "jump," and "kick"), accessed via a menu-screen, cause enemies to blink and disappear when defeated. One female enemy is depicted wearing a bikini top that exposes a moderate amount of cleavage. Whoa, those ESRB boy's really don't hold back when telling it how it is!

darksnowman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 There you go http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/new-wii-shop-and-dsi-titles-revealed Thanks for that speedy response. I was hoping for a certain NES game to be uploaded tonight but going by what Eurogamer say, its not happening this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Whoa, those ESRB boy's really don't hold back when telling it how it is! LOL, I remember the description of "buttocks" in Punch Out!! It's a good thing though. In my opinion, films should be rated that harshly and descriptively. Tomorrow's updates: Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap [Master System] Final Fight 2 [sNES] Oh, that's great. The Dragon's Trap is a superb game (as I remember it) - I'm surprised it wasn't already on the Virtual Console actually. I think I'll also download Final Fight 2, as I always fancied playing it, even if I know it's not meant to be that good! As a new Wii owner, I don't actually know how to go online or get those points you buy the games with (I'll investigate it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't really know where to put this, but I've downloaded my first Virtual Console games and I'm loving it! I've got: Super Metroid Super Mario RPG Super Mario 64 Then I tried to download Lylat Wars but it cut out. Must have used my Wi-Fi limit. I also want: Golden Axe (Arcade, not Megadrive) Landstalker Wonderboy III: the Dragon's Trap Super Mario World Then I might try a few SNES games I missed at the time, like Contra III. I must say, I'm absolutely chuffed with the PAL conversions of Super Metroid and Super Mario 64. I never owned the former, but I did own the latter and I remember the black bars. Now, they're so small it's as good as perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Moonwalker ( MD version ) on its way? I never thought this game would see a re-release. I can't imagine the work that went into getting the rights to publish this game again. Sure to be one of the big hits on the VC, and deservedly so! Let's hope this PEGI rating isn't in error!

LostOverThere Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 So I'm helping my friend connect his Wii to the internet, but I'm not sure what NES game to get. I already own Super Mario Bros 3, and that's the only NES game I have. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
