Virtual Console Thread Pt. 2 - Page 4

The Wii will probably get a successor pretty soon. Don't be surprised if devs are gearing up for that. They like to have a few cards up their sleeves for a launch, otherwise the system flounders.

And nobody ever said that Wiiware would be good. IMO, it's great that there have been so many worthwhile titles on it. The Wii doesn't enjoy full compatibility across its downloadable range, though. I have to change video cables every time I want to play Wiiware games. A lot of gamers are more interested in XBLA or Steam for their downloadable goods, and I don't blame them. The Wii just can't sing without a bit more available space for downloads. They should've launched a new version with some heftier solid-state memory available. IMO. Then we'd be seeing some worthwhile DLC that could've made huge improvements to games like the Conduit.

Zelda: Link's Awakening, Super Mario Land due for 3DS Treatment at C3 News

Sounds... interesting. For once, though, I imagine I'll have the 3D off most of the time.

^ Link's Awakening DX. Would be nice if they remembered that in the title. But meh.

I'm looking forward to it, I just hope they fix the issues with the GBC game.(your partner leaving was bull****)

I can't wait for more VC games. But I noticed WiiWare started to die down lately as well. ...Just what.

The eShop launched last night. What I didn't expect was you add funds kinda like the PSNetwork. Link's Awakening should be out today, but the first three games are Super Mario Land ($3.99), Alleyway ($2.99), and Radar Mission ($2.99). Europe won't get Radar Mission, but instead Tennis.

Again, expecting LA soon. I will be getting that bad boy.

Final Fantasy III (that is, Final Fantasy VI) for the SNES is now available on the VC. I'd get it if I didn't already have Final Fantasy Anthology.

***Marilink*** · 06-30-2011, 03:56 PM

oooh. That's tempting.

Panfan · 07-01-2011, 04:39 PM

^^ DO WANT.

**Loot** · 07-01-2011, 05:32 PM

I'd get it if I wasn't flat broke and already had VI Advance.

Bee tee dubs the 3DS Virtual Console now has Donkey Kong (GB), Tennis, and Kirby's Dream Land.

**Loot** · 09-09-2011, 01:36 PM

Something I found out from playing the 3DS Virtual Console.

Holding L+R and pressing Y while playing a GB game switches the screen between the black and white of Game Boy Pocket and the green screen of the original brick. Neat effect, but the whole "back lit screen" kinda makes the green part ick-ish.

Also doing the same with the NES games causes it to switch controllers. Kinda handy for the Zelda games.

**Loot** · 11-28-2011, 05:45 PM

Metroid II: Return of Samus is out, FYI. Also for some stupid reason they released Kirby's Adventure as a 3D Classic. The video shows... background 3D. That is it. Isn't that grand?

***Marilink*** · 11-28-2011, 05:59 PM

Hm...I do love me some Kirby's Adventure.
