Virtual Console Thread Pt. 2 - Page 3

Quote:

Whenever Sonic & Knuckles appears on a console, the first question on everyone's lips is "does it feature Lock-On?", so we'll happily move to confirm that here. Accessed through a menu at any time in-game, you can select from any of the three original Sonic titles you've already purchased and activate the Lock-On feature.

That means it's compatible with Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Huh that's cool there may yet be hope for CT on the VC.

- You stupid dog.

Master Brian · 03-09-2010, 03:23 PM

Doesn't look like Final Fantasy 2, 3, or 5'll appear on the VC. DAMNIT.

Yes, FFIII for the DS made it too easy with less enemies, amongst other things.

**X-3** · 03-09-2010, 03:28 PM

Regardless, it still managed to be a pain in the ass at times, though. I think I read that they buffed some aspects of the game to make up for the limited enemies per battle.

**Valigarmander** · 03-12-2010, 05:32 PM

Today, Ironclad (Neo Geo) and Lode Runner (NES) were both released in the PAL region.

**Valigarmander** · 03-15-2010, 03:39 PM

Today, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (TG-16) was released in the NA region.

**Loot** · 03-15-2010, 06:19 PM

I've got the Dracula X Chronicles already, but Rondo of Blood is certainly worth a look.

Master Brian · 03-15-2010, 06:42 PM

^Its only weakness is that it's actually not translated at all. Just to note. Other than that, no reason not to get it.

**Loot** · 03-15-2010, 07:26 PM

Doesn't need a translation. There's just some lame dialogue whenever Richter saves a girl and then insert the classic "WHAT IS A MAN?!!" at the end.

(Once again, Dracula X Chronicles has a very accurate translation of that scene that's actually pretty badass. "Freedom is always sacrificed to faith, good hunter. Or are you truly here by choice?" "All I'm here for is you. To hell with your heresy! You're nothing but a blight on mankind.")

**Valigarmander** · 03-22-2010, 05:07 PM

On Friday, Milon's Secret Castle (NES) was released in the PAL region.

**Valigarmander** · 03-27-2010, 02:42 PM

Yesterday, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (N64) and Fatal Fury Special (Neo Geo) were both released in the PAL region.

Dead topic is dead.

**Valigarmander** · 05-16-2010, 11:36 PM

I've just been getting lazy.

Master Brian · 08-09-2010, 07:25 PM

^ I blame Nintendo, not you.

Robotazy · 08-09-2010, 07:59 PM

Then you're uninformed and petty.

Master Brian · 08-11-2010, 02:42 AM

^Any less than two VC games a month is bad. And don't tell me it isn't. There's still a lot of games already in Japan that could easily come here. Not to mention that some WiiWare games are just horrible, My Aquarium 2 being a prime example. Nothing new is added. I mean, for crying out loud, when it makes the Madden games look good, there's something wrong here.

Robotazy · 08-11-2010, 02:55 AM

Oh please. It's not like they Nintendo needs to keep the Virtual Console up at all, no less put more games on it.

Also, you have to be delusional if you're saying that something needs to have continual upkeep at all times or it's crap.

It's not like they promised to put certain games in, or even keep it updated for more than a few years.

These things are all fine. STFU.
