Tellyn Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Me too. I'm predicting an Easter release. I couldn't stand seeing 700 Points unspent, so I purchased Kirby's Adventure. That is one awesome game, it obviously pushed the NES to its limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I got Streets of Rage last night and got hooked playing it just like the old days. Damn that game is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 My brain just hatched an idea. Does anyone think we might get Wii version of XBLA titles when original content is allowed to be developed? UBISOFT INTERVIEW GS: Does Ubisoft have plans to produce content for the Wii's Virtual Console and the PS3's PlayStation Store? JR: Yes, we're always looking to grow our online presence and we're working on ways we can support both Nintendo's Virtual Console and the PS3's PlayStation Store. GS: Any chance of seeing the original Myst, Prince of Persia, or Rayman make their ways to these downloadable game services? JR: We can't reveal anything quite yet but we can say that Ubisoft will be bringing some of its popular franchises and some completely new content to Live Arcade in the future. We'll keep you posted. http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6166859.html Yesterday's American titles for the VC included: Elevator Action - NES Super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts - SNES Sword of Vermillion - Mega Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ganondorflol Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I'm waiting for Zelda II more than Zelda 3, which I own and have finished whereas with the second one, I don't own it and have never completed it. So hurry and get it on the Virtual Console!! You're a brave, brave man. But I like 2 better than ALTTP as the music is better and more retro. It's already out for those of you lucky enough to have VC though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please PM me with the name of yours and how much it costs. Is it guarenteed to work? I'm sorry, its just that I'm missing out on probarly the best feature the Wii has to offer. Zelda 2 FTW!!! When I get VC, as I have got 200 points I'm getting SM64, Kirby and Zelda2. No SNES games yet, as no classic controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Will PM later. I don't know the exact make, but I got it from a sale in Currys/Dixons (not sure, my parents bought it as a sign of generosity two days after my Wi-Fi broke. IT BROKE ON THE 8TH OF DECEMBER.)

Coincidence? I think not! Bet you were too pleased with your Wii to care, though. Anyway, when i went to my high street the other day, I was really shocked to find that Dixons was now Currys (or vice versa). But my voucher still works, though.

Myke Greywolf Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Update on the ROMS in the European Wii Shop Channel server: - Galaga (NES) - Ice Climber (NES) - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (SNES) - Double Dungeons (Turbografx) - Unidentified Turbografx game Screenshots are now up for: I think that five games is too much to release in one week, but at least the ones with screenshots will almost certainly be released this week.

darksnowman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What is that second first personie game that Mike posted up? Elsewhere... I went and had a nosey around the Shop Channel and lo and behold, I found Zelda II. I was swift to click on the download button and added the game to my other download - the majestic Kirby. Zelda's as good as I remember, I prefer this one to the first. I've still died a bucketful of times and didnt even finish the first level, I'll go back to it from time to time though. Its nice having those two games always on the machine and at my finger tips, its a cool option not having to get up and change discs! (And getting a Game Over in Zelda II presents you with Pit Jr's sig, freaky. You gotta go a long way to escape the grasp of N-E!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Greywolf Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 What is that second first personie game that Mike posted up? That would be Double Dungeons. And it's Myke, not Mike. More screenshots are up: Let's see if they upload any more screenshots before tomorrow night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiemetriX Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 StarFox 64 headed to VC StarFox 64 has popped up on the ESRB website. Since the title is now rated, we should expect to see it on the VC sometime soon. I will sorely miss rumble in that game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motion Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ice Climber is an absolute classic title. Amazing game. Don't get me wrong it was released around the same time as SMB so don't expect flashy graphics or a plot or anything... but still great fun and one of my favourite games in my youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small trivia... did you know that Ice Climber's FDS version featured seperate selection screen / music for mountains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funktion Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think I'm gonna hold off buying any more VC games (except maybe a couple of TG-16 games) since I can't play most of them right now (all I get is a black screen). Ever since I use the official component cable I've been unable to play SNES and NES games. Until last week Megadrive games were also an option, since I was able to play them just fine, but I ended up buying Streets of Rage and Comix Zone only for them to not work with my TV. I really don't get it why Nintendo keeps ignoring the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM7 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 That the fuzzy image thing? A friend of mine brought his Wii to my place (I've got broadband and he doesn't) and bought Gunstar Heroes only to find it was all fuzzy and jittery on my TV. That the problem?

ghost_zero Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Have you tried pressing the Home-Button on the Wiimote after starting a game? Btw.: The problem is maybe not even related to Nintendo but just that those games might output a resolution that your TV doesn't support over component (too low). Although I still don't guess what difference it makes if you press the Home-Button or not (because at least for me after pressing the Home-Button the game works fine before I sometimes get a black screen - but I believe only if the game is resumed instead from started from the beginning).

SimonM7 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Actually, it was once we pressed the home button that the game went bananas. Then whenever we loaded it it of course loaded the save state and thus brought up the menu thing, forever damning it to fuzzyness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
