Miharu Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Nintendo, why are you this stupid? You do realize us Europeans are just going to play roms now. We'll download Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasies, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG etc. and we're "happy". Your loss.

Exactly, Nintendo have a chance to sell stuff to the European market, insted they're actually forcing people into the emulation scene. Bizarre, because I would actually rather pay for these games so I could play them on the sofa with a real nintendo controller... there loss.
harribo Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 anyway here the links to the offical sites, surly nintendo europe are'nt too busy to put the msx/pc engine pics on their site http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/features/virtual_console.html http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?site=w_virtual_console.html&l=enGB I really hope its a big mix up, are the VC games definatly region locked? By that logic we wont get any games from these people:
khilafah Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 This months edge magazine talks about the VC and how european gamers can only play games released in europe etc. they then go on to say that gamers can just import a US wii for example and buy VC games with US wii points. so all this talk about importers cannot access the online features etc is BS!!
ZeldaFreak Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Look to my understanding, nintendo is recruiting a seperate team for localising VC games - now thats strange, but we could end up with supermario rpg. And with msx who says konami won't want a bunch of their games selling europe
DCK Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Nintendo can bring out those games in Europe if they really want to, and I suppose they want it.
mcj metroid Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Playing roms on a comp feels so cheap, I want to play them on my big ass tv with a proper controller. buy a psx adptor thing from play.com.Allows you to use your ps2 controllers.Very enjoyable.Especially for n64 games
BlueStar Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The only games I was going to bother with were TG-16 ones because I couldn't get a decent emulator running on my PC. Now I've got the full version of magicengine for classics like Bonk and Photograph Boy, and got CD games like Dracula X working too (Which I doubt will be available through VC anyway). So I don't think I'll bother with any tbh. On a PC you can play with the SNES, N64 or PSX controller (I wouldn't bet on it being too long before someone made a Wii classic controller -> USB converter), use save states, play online multiplayer, get games from other regions and fan translations of japanese games, use a TV out to play on your TV, improve the look of the games with things like anti-aliasing and SAI engines, all without having a crippled selection of games and having to shell out for them. I can't see any reason to use the VC emulator over PC emulation at all.
