darksnowman Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Just read a bit of news on VC-Reviews regarding Square-Enix and their stance on the VC. We’re definitely looking into all the other download mediums. We don’t think the games and the IP that we have have lost value yet, so we haven’t decided if releasing them on VC is the best idea. It’s a matter of the package — which is downloading. You look at a game, and you have to decide whether it will be better to be sold in a retail store, or if it will be better for download. We’re making that decision carefully for each of the games that we have. It comes down to the games that we think we could make a good remake of haven’t been on VC yet. So that's a definite maybe.
ShadowV7 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 There was? Agreed though. The VC is really bad now, where's the 3rd party games? Or some other decent ones? I haven't downloaded a VC game in...what was the alst one Sin and Punishment?
Ike Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I'm hoping we'll get Earthbound next week as a surprise release or something, though I know it won't happen.
ShadowV7 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 To be honest, I was hoping for Earthbound since it got rated over in the US, hoped it meant that we might of gotten it soon aka Hanabi. Apparently not ¬_¬
darksnowman Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Has anyone actually checked out Star Parodier? I just had a look at it on Youtube and it looks hot! When I get some Wii points (which will be when I get some free space) Star Parodier could well be my first foray into the Shop Channel world of the Turbografx.
ShadowV7 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Never heard of it. I still have some stars in my account so might use them for points. I'll check it out on YouTube. Though space... I'll watch it and want it for now
Tellyn Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Just read a bit of news on VC-Reviews regarding Square-Enix and their stance on the VC. So that's a definite maybe. That's a definite "why the hell should we release a cheap version of our vastly superior games when we can keep remaking it over and over a-bloody-gain?"
ghost_zero Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 That's a definite "why the hell should we release a cheap version of our vastly superior games when we can keep remaking it over and over a-bloody-gain?" I wonder though: The could also make remakes for WiiWare though and get the money from there
Hellfire Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I don't know if I should get any Hanabi Festival game, Cho Aniki might be worth it for comedy purposes alone :P
darksnowman Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I don't know if I should get any Hanabi Festival game, Cho Aniki might be worth it for comedy purposes alone :P I like your style, I wouldn't mind some Cho Aniki some time either! If you fancy something a bit less conventional then take a look at Star Parodier, a cute em up that looks pretty fine.
Tellyn Posted May 20, 2008 Author Posted May 20, 2008 This month's Hanabi games don't interest me. I'd only get them if they were limited edition like Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, since I'm a sucker for limited editions.
Ike Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 ne one knw wot vc games were released Paradroid - Commodore 64 - 500 points.
ReZourceman Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Paradroid - Commodore 64 - 500 points. Wow. Just....wow.
darksnowman Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Wow. Just....wow. Sarcasm or...? Cos as far as I know, Paradroid is a bit of a classic... I think! I'll check it out on Youtube later to make sure I'm thinking of the right game, lol.
ReZourceman Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah...lol...any game on C64 that isnt like...Swag or Ghostbusters Ive never really heard of. One measly game seems a bit shit though.
Tellyn Posted May 23, 2008 Author Posted May 23, 2008 Get yourself some WiiWare games ReZ. I recommend one of the following: Toki Tori, LostWinds, Dr. Mario.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 What are Toki Tori and Lostwinds like/entail? Check out the WiiWare threads or the LostWind threads for impressions. Its understandable that we only got 1 game this week what with WiiWare launching. Heres a youtube vid of this weeks game. I havent a clue whats going on in it and it somehow reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Krusty loses the Itchy and Scratchy show and it gest replaced with an eastern european cat and mouse show. To quote Krusty " What the hell was that??!! "
ReZourceman Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Lol! Also Ive just realised (well...remembered) I actually know the guy whos head of design of the people who port the C64 games for VC. Hes awesome.
darksnowman Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 MSX games have at last been added to the Virtual Console in Japan, with Aleste being the first game made available.
Tellyn Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 And that's taken them over a year. Bravo, Nintendo/Konami/whoever was in charge of it. I wonder if we'll see any titles (like Metal Gear) on the VC in Europe/US?
Ike Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 NoE have hinted we're getting Pokemon Puzzle League "soon". Read the final paragraph I know the US has already got it, so it was just a matter of time before we did, although, since it's NoE, coming soon could mean this week or next month. If we're lucky :P
Helmsly Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Well, no Nintendo channel yet or new Wiiware games but tonights VC games are up: Pokemon puzzle league (N64 1000 points) Samurai Shodown (neogeo 900 points) Burning Fight (neogeo 900 points)
