Helmsly Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just tried to sign into the Wii shopping channel and it asked me to update it. No idea what the update has done though, I thought it might of been C64 games, maybe thats what we're getting tonight. -edit From American Wii shop page has this: An Update to your Wii Shop Channel is now available. This update is needed in order to access WiiWare games launching this Spring. For those who have already done the update on or after March 20th, you will not need to update again.

darksnowman Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just tried to sign into the Wii shopping channel and it asked me to update it. No idea what the update has done though, I thought it might of been C64 games, maybe thats what we're getting tonight. -edit From North american Wii shop page has this: An Update to your Wii Shop Channel is now available. This update is needed in order to access WiiWare games launching this Spring. For those who have already done the update on or after March 20th, you will not need to update again. I liked the C64 idea... but the Wiiware one is interesting too. I take it you have a European Wii? Hmm... if we are getting some Wiiware update could that mean its launching soonish here too? Edit with pic: (not from my Wii cos I have 400 points!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm guessing we ( EU Wii owners ) got the update for the same reason (they just havnt put a message telling us that yet). BTW I don't have a freeloader,so no idea if this effects anything. Bare in mind it wasnt a firmware update, it just updated the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 I think it's Mega Turrican. Why are Nintendo neglecting the Virtual Console this year? Almost all the offerings have been scarce and not quite up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssj Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think it's Mega Turrican. Why are Nintendo neglecting the Virtual Console this year? Almost all the offerings have been scarce and not quite up to scratch. I know what you mean. Im guessing its because of The Wiiware games If a decent game comes on tomorrow morning I might actualy buy it since I havn't brought any VC games this year. Im hoping that donkey kong 64 will come on soon (which is perfectly possible even though its a rareware game) Or smash brothers. Also note that in rarewares latest scribes they said that rare n64 games on the virtual console is NOT impossible but is out of their hands Preys for Banjo Kazooie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Commodore 64 games are now up on the Virtual console channel, the Virtual console channel logo has a big C64 logo flashing up on it too lol Two c64 are games availible at 500 points each: International Karate and Uridium Also added was Crus'n USA for the N64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Although it reminds me...Beetle Adventure Racing. Would love to play that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ashley, I think the developers secured the rights to release it on the Virtual Console last year. You should be seeing it at some point. EDIT: As I thought, it's been ESRB rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: As I thought, it's been ESRB rated. Oh lord if it does I would possible...I dunno. Squee. And I seldom squee. Was it any good? It was great. I dunno what it was about it but I loved it. Was speaking to Shorty about it the other day and he summed it up well; it was (at the time) different from the rest of the serious racers out there. You had shortcuts where you crash through barns and stuff like that, it was just fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yeah Beetle Adventure Racing was great. I haven't got it but my mate did and we played it extensively. There wasn't a wealth of tracks (about six?) but there were so many different routes around them it was amazing finding them all! I think you could smash through barrels, boxes, shop windows and stuff to get points or something...? Its been a very long time so my memory is shady on it. I remember the "halloween" track was pretty cool, but then, I think most/ all of them were because of the different routes. The police Beetle was great fun to use! Neenaw neenaw neenaw...! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleben Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Looks like there's just 1 VC release this week: Yoshi's cookie for the NES Yeah just found out as well. A guess that's the way the VC Cookie crumbles... when you get just 1 game a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Was that a Game and Watch game? I'm sure I have it somewhere on Gameboy and I think its on one of the G&W compilations, hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Cookie Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 At the moment, I've only got one (retorical, because nobody really knows the aswer) question on my mind regarding VC: Where. Is. My. Axelay? This excellent shooter has been released in US and Australia more than half a year ago! What's taking them so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
