Saminthehat Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Wow. They gave information like that out on the phone? Should be 3 star points, for 1 Wii point methinks, then you can get a VC game of your choice after 3 - 5 Nintendo purchases. I think someone from Nintendo said something about 4 star points=1 Wii point.
Smiter Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Sega confirmed games for UK/AU Virtual Console on April 6th: Sonic Spinball Vectorman Story of Thor Source: http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/774/774536p1.html I'm really looking forward to Story of Thor. It caught my eye when I was a kid, reading GamesMaster magazine. Never got to play it.
Guest Jordan Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Oh joy, three Sega games for my birthday... and i still have to do reviews! >_>

Still, that means that ALttP is even more likely for this week. Can't wait.

Cube Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Right then, so I'm guessing: - Unidentified NES game - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) - Another game that gets uploaded today or tomorow For thursday night.
AeroScap Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Actually no. You are talking about bug that was on original MK64, and has *nothing* to do with emulation. If you play certain levels with 3 or 4 players*, game starts to skip additional of frames and goes unplayable fast. I just find it quite hilarious that people praise MK64 like it was second coming of Jesus, and can't even remember how buggy** it was on the first place. * Moo Moo Farm and that DK place, If I remember correctly ** Yeah, I have never been biggest fan of MK64. Actually no.. I was playing on the VC version of MK64 which DID not exist in the original. Relative or Normally speaking
floatstarpx Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 my mate said he saw 2000 wii points going cheap in GAME (or gamestation - i wasn't really listening to him....) when he was in town. £8.99 instead of £13.99 ! haven't seen it myself, so can't confirm. but that's almost half price.

The deal is in GAME and it's 2000 Wii Points for £7.99 when bought with anything else in store. (well, I think it can be anything, not 100% sure though) Anyway, I got some the other day when I picked up Mario Slam Basketball. I downloaded Kid Icarus yesterday. Man that game is as cruel as ever! Still great fun too.
ShadowV7 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Man I hope those Link to the Past screens go up soon...making me nervous now. After I get A Link to the Past I won't be going on the VC in a while so one day I can go on and look at all the games that are up compared to the last time and download a few.

I think after ALttP I'll probably buy more VC games. I'm ignoring over 90% of stuff at the moment simply becasue it's not ALttP.
spirited away Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I think after ALttP I'll probably buy more VC games. I'm ignoring over 90% of stuff at the moment simply becasue it's not ALttP. I'm ignoring 100% because i need MM. Could be a long wait:heh:
Cube Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I'm ignoring 100% because i need MM. Could be a long wait:heh: Luckily, I can already play MM on my Wii.
Saminthehat Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I'm ignoring 100% because i need MM. Could be a long wait:heh: You could just borrow off me you know? I've got the full version on GC.
Myke Greywolf Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Bad news, people: it seems like Nintendo has pulled the plug on little birdie for good. I haven't been able to detect any ROMs in the server in the last few days, despite all my efforts. It seems like I won't be able to give you the scoop on new VC releases anymore. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I'll keep on trying some new tricks from time to time.

Oh well, it's all guessing and speculation from here on in, and more complaints when it's not GoldenEye for the third week in a row!
ShadowV7 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Damn now i'm under suspense for 6 hours and 40 min now... Good run while it lasted though.

ZeldaFreak Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Haha now thats funny I never even understood how you could do a work around with vc anyway
cheap-seats Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 It was worth reading whilst it lasted but the suspense will be pretty enjoyable....compared to the disappointment when it turns out not to have been worth the wait that particular week.
welsh_gamer Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Awww gutted birdy. Why are you certain it's the end tho? You might find a new way to hack one day...... I for one will miss checking the forum for the latest VC "gossip" every Tuesday or Wednesday
Gizmo Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Shame that you've been blocked out. Was nice to know what was coming in advance.
