Virtual Console Games - Page 10

**NintendoNut** · 01-15-2008, 05:41 PM

Fantastic, I finally got my Wii hooked up to our new wireless router and I downloaded Donkey Kong Country off virtual console. Now the only other game I want is International Superstar Soccer Deluxe. I don't need anymore games. Seriously.

^ You need Sin & Punishment.

wariovswario · 01-16-2008, 07:26 AM

^I wasn't too fond of it. It feels too much like an arcade game and the story seems really hard to follow or to get into for that matter

**NintendoNut** · 01-19-2008, 06:24 AM

Awesomeness, posting from my Wii right now.

X-3 · 01-20-2008, 10:30 PM

New games coming out tomorrow, I think.

...please, let one of them be badass. Like a Banjo game, but that's unlikely...

Maynard James Keenan · 01-22-2008, 04:15 PM

US:

(NES) Adventures of LoLo 2
(SNES) Super Street Fighter II

Dear God, are all of the SFII versions gonna get on VC?

Last week...

(SNES) Pac-Attack
(TG) Riot Zone

EU:

(N64) 1080° Snowboarding
(TG) Riot Zone

1080° is pretty decent.

Last week:

(NES) StarTropics
(N64) Pokemon Snap
(GEN) Alien Storm

X-3 · 01-22-2008, 04:28 PM

The whole SFII thing needs to stop. Just let people download upgrades or something. :\

While the story being so convoluted was kind of a drag, I like that it was built like an arcade game. It's very similar to other games by Treasure, notably Ikaruga, in those respects. On top of that, I found that the game play was noticeably more polished than most arcade rail shooters, another Treasure hallmark, so for someone like me who likes arcade shooters but finds them a little too rushed, this game was a lot of fun.

However, it certainly doesn't have a universal appeal, and I'm sure a lot of gamers would be put off by the negative aspects of the game you mentioned.

Maynard James Keenan · 01-22-2008, 09:14 PM

A lot of gamers are probably turned off by the funky control scheme.

Rayman FREAK · 01-22-2008, 09:31 PM

I don't know if I'd say "a lot." I'm not very good at these kinds of games (but I still love them), and if I can play it, chances are most gamers can too. Off-putting, maybe. But I think at least most genre fans would get past it easily.

**Wyborn** · 01-23-2008, 12:41 PM

Sin and Punishment was awesome, anyone who doesn't like it was a communist, et cetera and so forth.

Now where is my EarthBound? I been waiting a while, Nintendo.

Chunky Kong12345 · 01-23-2008, 03:35 PM

Be content with Lolo, damnit. That game is awesome.

Maynard James Keenan · 02-18-2008, 02:15 PM

US releases this week:

(NES) Ninja Gaiden III
(GEN) Phantasy Star II

Europe:

(MD) Phantasy Star II
(MD) Eternal Champions

**Wyborn** · 02-18-2008, 02:36 PM

RAUGH NO EARTHB-wait, Phantasy Star?

How's that?

Minister of Silly Walks · 02-18-2008, 02:52 PM

I've always been interested in Phantasy Star. Should I go for it?

STOP LOOKING AT ME · 02-25-2008, 09:42 AM

Wasn't Phantasy Star 2 the one with that tragic Story?

Maynard James Keenan · 02-25-2008, 03:53 PM

US:

(N64) Kirby 64
(TG-64) Psychosis

EU:

(NES) Street Gangs (River City Ransom)
(NES) Adventure Island

Dammit Europe, why do you always get the good VC games first? If you get Earthbound before us...

X-3 · 02-25-2008, 04:31 PM

Kirby 64? Hmm...Maybe I'll get it, despite it's clear lack of Meta-Knight.

Rayman FREAK · 02-25-2008, 08:36 PM

Damn you, Europeans! You got the one game I want, and you made the title wicked lame!

But Kirby 64? Very fun times, I gotta say (not to mention an awesome final boss song that's getting an epic remix for Brawl). Though not a terribly long or difficult game, I rate it as the most challenging Kirby game overall. I say fork over the Wii points.

**Booyakasha** · 02-25-2008, 08:41 PM

I really liked the mini-games in 'Kirby64'. They were a big hit up at camp, too (especially the block-dropping madness).
