Teppo Holmqvist Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Any word on Super Metroid yet? ESRB rated since December.
IMJ Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Im gonna get Streets of Rage right about now! Can't wait Have to buy more points though....
nekunando Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 ..gonna get me some points for Streets of Rage. I probably would but I'm gonna have one heck of a dentist bill to pay in the coming months..
Patch Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Streets of Rage! Yes! I implore everyone who reads this to download it. It's a decent game for sure, but hopefully if this does well, they will consider putting up Street of Rage 2 for download too.
shade Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Streets of Rage 2 will happen but probably not for another 6 months
Saminthehat Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I can't believe you can't boot VC games from the SD card...
shade Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 You only just noticed that? We are hopefull for a fix to that in future updates.
Guest Stefkov Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I'm quite annoyed that I found out when playing it it was Streets of Rage without the roller skating kid. Too much excitement while it was downloading I was just thinking that. Anyway, Streets of Rage is Streets of Rage, its still awesome.
mariosmentor Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 What the hell is happening with the Stars to points system? I'm holding off buying anymore bloody points cards until this gets implemented.
THE ganondorflol Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Goldeneye is entirely possible now. We have DKC 3 besides, don't we? Rare just needs to get more involved.
Tellyn Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 Donkey Kong Country was owned by Nintendo in the first place. Nintendo bought the James Bond rights for GoldenEye and let Rare develop the game. Since then the rights have been passed on and currently reside with Activision. The appearance of GoldenEye on the Virtual Console depends entirely on how much money Nintendo want to spend on it, and the cooperation of Activision and Microsoft. Also, I'm not posting this as news but just something I've discovered at http://wii.nintendo.co.uk/15.html . Note the picture at the top of the page. There is a NES with a controller and lightgun. Why put the lightgun there if the games for it aren't going to be used on the Virtual Console? Wii Remote zapping time.
Gizmo Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I want Takeshi no Chousenjou on VC. For those not familiar with it, here is a wikipedia quote: The game is infamously known for giving the player several ludicrous, near-impossible tasks to complete. Some examples include forcing the player to sing karaoke numerous times in a row (utilizing the second Famicom controller, that has a built-in microphone) and leaving the game at a certain point for one hour without touching the controller, as well as forcing the player to try jumping a precipice one pixel too short several dozen times, and hitting the final boss 20,000 times to defeat it.
darksnowman Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Goldeneye is entirely possible now. We have DKC 3 besides, don't we? Rare just needs to get more involved. DKC 3 is on the VC? I'm away to get it!
Tyson Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Haha, I knew Nintndo would sneek in a Sony quote in the VC. "Enemies ranging from amoeba's to giant enemy crabs!"
Gizmo Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Which shmup would peopel recommend I download? I've already got Gunstar Heroes, but I've played it alot now and was wanting another. I was thinking Super Probetector, R-TYPE, and I think theres a couple more aswell. Which is best? ^_^
darksnowman Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Gizmo, R-Type games are really good shooters, I'll vouch for that. Did anyone get Vermillion? Or know anything about it? I've read a few things, but still dont seem to know much!
THE ganondorflol Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 DKC 3 is on the VC? I'm away to get it! Sorry, mate, I meant the original DKC! My mistake.
Aussie Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Updated: now with boxarts for each title You can find a full list of released and upcoming march VC releases for Australia & Europe right > here also look out for more titles to be added soon

Bluejay Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Gradius and Super Star Soldier are both great and cost less points. Super Star Soldier isn't very good, in my opinion. Plus, if you want it, you may as well get Soldier Blade. Apparently it improves on SSS in every way. R Type games are brilliant. Best shooters on VC, worth the 200 extra points without a second thought. Tricky buggers though. Level 3 of R Type 1 owns me.

Haha n00b....I manage to get to level 5 before I get pwned . My cousin actually completed all 8 levels. Fucking nutter. Still, Ikaruga's harder and I've completed it
Tellyn Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 The reason why R-Type costs 800 Points instead of 600, straight from my news section on the first page. R-Type for the Virtual Console (originally a TurboGrafx-16 game) appears as 800 Points in the Virtual Console instead of the usual 600 for TurboGrafx games. The reason for this is that it contains all eight levels - unlike the Japanese release which only included the first four levels as per the original HuCard.
Bluejay Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Haha n00b....I manage to get to level 5 before I get pwned . My cousin actually completed all 8 levels. Fucking nutter. Still, Ikaruga's harder and I've completed it Now I have a reason to get to level 6. A motive, if you will. Give me 8 years and I'll get back to you, and gloat.
Lens of Truth Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Gizmo, R-Type games are really good shooters, I'll vouch for that. Did anyone get Vermillion? Or know anything about it? I've read a few things, but still dont seem to know much! Don't be taken in by the cool name and dashing looking bloke on the boxart - SoV is actually a steaming turd of a game. It's just a very primitive and semi-broken rpger. Wait for something more worthwhile like Shining Force!
