Posted March 20, 2007 Wow. They gave information like that out on the phone? Should be 3 star points, for 1 Wii point methinks, then you can get a VC game of your choice after 3 - 5 Nintendo purchases. I think someone from Nintendo said something about 4 star points=1 Wii point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21, 2007 Sega confirmed games for UK/AU Virtual Console on April 6th: Sonic Spinball Vectorman Story of Thor Source: http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/774/774536p1.html I'm really looking forward to Story of Thor. It caught my eye when I was a kid, reading GamesMaster magazine. Never got to play it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, that means that ALttP is even more likely for this week. Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 21, 2007 Right then, so I'm guessing: - Unidentified NES game - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - Another game that gets uploaded today or tomorow For thursday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21, 2007 Actually no. You are talking about bug that was on original MK64, and has *nothing* to do with emulation. If you play certain levels with 3 or 4 players*, game starts to skip additional of frames and goes unplayable fast. I just find it quite hilarious that people praise MK64 like it was second coming of Jesus, and can't even remember how buggy** it was on the first place. * Moo Moo Farm and that DK place, If I remember correctly ** Yeah, I have never been biggest fan of MK64. Actually no.. I was playing on the VC version of MK64 which DID not exist in the original. Relative or Normally speaking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21, 2007 my mate said he saw 2000 wii points going cheap in GAME (or gamestation - i wasn't really listening to him....) when he was in town. £8.99 instead of £13.99 ! haven't seen it myself, so can't confirm. but that's almost half price.

The deal is in GAME and it's 2000 Wii Points for £7.99 when bought with anything else in store. (well, I think it can be anything, not 100% sure though) Anyway, I got some the other day when I picked up Mario Slam Basketball. I downloaded Kid Icarus yesterday. Man that game is as cruel as ever! Still great fun too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 21, 2007 Man I hope those Link to the Past screens go up soon...making me nervous now. After I get A Link to the Past I won't be going on the VC in a while so one day I can go on and look at all the games that are up compared to the last time and download a few.

I think after ALttP I'll probably buy more VC games. I'm ignoring over 90% of stuff at the moment simply becasue it's not ALttP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 22, 2007 Bad news, people: it seems like Nintendo has pulled the plug on little birdie for good. I haven't been able to detect any ROMs in the server in the last few days, despite all my efforts. It seems like I won't be able to give you the scoop on new VC releases anymore. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I'll keep on trying some new tricks from time to time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 22, 2007 It was worth reading whilst it lasted but the suspense will be pretty enjoyable....compared to the disappointment when it turns out not to have been worth the wait that particular week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 22, 2007 Awww gutted birdy. Why are you certain it's the end tho? You might find a new way to hack one day...... I for one will miss checking the forum for the latest VC "gossip" every Tuesday or Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
