Virtual Console - All you need to know

[ZeldaFreak]

TBH I would laugh if we got some suprise on xmas day

[david.dakota]

Right. For those who are thinking of purchasing a Wii Points Card, bear in mind the system does accept more than just VISA and Mastercard. I tried, and succeeded, in making a Wii Points transaction using a VISA Electron card.

 

Its better value and you have a choice of points.

yeah would be handy.

 

 

can u use switch?

[Mideon]

Anyone downloaded F-Zero yet?

 

I just did and the borders are very very tiny if even there at all, they were way bigger on the SNES I dont know if it running in 50Hz since I have never played an NTSC F-Zero. can anyone confirm this?

[ZeldaFreak]

How do you connect to the internet if you don't have wifi in your house

[Hero-of-Time]

Where the hell is Toejam and Earl? This has left me feeling empty inside.

[antster1983]

On its way I'd imagine

 

I've downloaded Donkey Kong Country, I always loved that game.

[Rummy]

I was considering downloading something, but theres really no need considering sports, play and zelda, so I'm gonna refrain from even using the VC yet, because I'll just end up buying lots of stuff I'll never play.

Anyway, what are you playing DKC with? I'm curious as to how it plays with both the VC and GC controllers, and which is better in your opinion.

When you bought the points, did you use a credit card or buy them from a shop? If you used a credit card, did you at any point worry about how secure it was?

[shade]

Probably already mention but I want to praise this feature as i was not sure if it was going to make it.

When you exit a VC it saves your exact position like save state on an emulater.

 

Nice one.

[Hero-of-Time]

Just bought Altered Beast due to the absence of Toejam. Freaking classic game didnt remember it being this easy though.

[The3rdChildren]

Anyone else think the Classic Controller is really comfortable?

I use a Classic Controller. I purchased a 2000 point card from the store where I bought my Wii.

[flameboy]

Erm...how come you can only pay by mastercard and visa card whoever heard of good old switch?!

I was actually surprised to find it isn't all that bad to hold.

 

Dunno if I should download some VC games or not...too many games to play already. But, damn, it's so tempting!

[ZeldaFreak]

ohhh I would love to download Alien Crush one of my favourite games I em downloaded for my em pc.

 

But I must resit these, I must

[Stocka]

So it's going to get updated each friday (as opposed to Monday in US).That's cool.

I won't be purchasing any games yet as I have no Wii Points. I'll have to wait until either christmas when I get some or when NOE let us use stars to buy points.

[Guest Stefkov]
