Virtual Console - All you need to know

Recommended Posts

Thanks for your views on it Lens o' Truth, however I'm still tempted by the game! I read it has different gameplay styles in it and that it lasts "only" about 20 hours - that time frame sounds pretty inviting actually cos it means the thing shouldnt last me to Christmas. :santa:

 

So the game isnt perfect...? Is it really such a "steaming turd" that I shouldnt give it a whirl? (I'll likely talk myself out of it anyway...)

Super Ghoul's and Ghosts! Yipeeeeeeeee! Borrowed that game from a friend when I was young, but never did finish it. Now I can! March is a good month for games on the Wii so far.

Perhaps I was being a little harsh. I've not played it on the crusty old megadrive for quite a while. It does have a good story and the music's very atmospheric. It can just be quite annoying and tedious at times. But the campy retro charm outweighs that if you're in the right frame of mind. By all means give it a try.. just don't expect it to rock your world!

 

EDIT: Incidently, there's quite a funny 'review' of it on youtube if you do a search..

What they said....

 

We'll probably get it when America gets Ocarina (or do they already have it)?

darksnowman is from the US???

 

I just got 1000 Points from the Virtual Console, and had 200 Points left over from last year, so I bought Super Mario Bros. Brilliant game and lovely choons, but I'm crap at it and have yet to beat Bowser in the first level. :heh: I have 700 Points left, and need some recommendations please. I like platformers and adventure games, but I'm after something new. Can people recommend me any games?

OK a little help if possible:

 

i have recently brought mario world and i use a gamecube pad with it. The controls are terrible...its B to run...A for spinning jump and X for normal. Is there a way to change normal jump to the A button.

 

If not is the controls nicer on the classic controller

It's impossible to re-map the controls, but the controls are nice on the classic controller. I swear it's a marketing ploy.

omg, super ghouls 'n ghosts, I swear to god, the first time I found out what I had to do to be able to finish the true final boss (spoiler: replay the game from start to get the key) , I was like " I HATE YOU, CAPCOM."

 

and then I just did it. :). Excellent in graphics,sound and gameplay, but a very difficult game. If you're the kind of person that has difficulties with the jumping in super mario bros, then avoid this at all cost, you'll never finish the first level.

They're teasing you.

 

There's a new ROM in the server. This makes it:

 

- Galaga (NES)

- Double Dungeons (Turbografx)

- Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES)

 

No screenshots yet.

 

And I'd say that this is probably all we'll get this week. Bear with it.

Haha, sorry that I've not explored the Virtual Console Shop Channel enough to notice Zelda II is on it. :red: I may just spend my 500 points on it this weekend if the Turtles doesnt come out - which looks like it isnt, if little birdies info is correct.
