Wii Virtual Console Guide

Why the fuck can I not find fucking Harvest Moon?

Europe only? Screw you Nintendo.

DAMN YOU!!! DAMN YOU NINTENDO OF AMERICA!?!?!!?

Seriously, download that game. Harvest moon is a must have... I only wish it is an American release so that I can friggen get that game.

Now you feel like all of us Europeans feel every single time a great game doesn't make it to our shores, Being a big Square-Enix fan Kh2F+, FFT (Orig) aswell as still no certified release date for FE:RD. We're left stewing, hoping it comes out, I feel for you, as I hope most american gamers feel for us poor little Europeans (Mainly the Brits as the only reason we don't get it is because they don't think it's value to translate it :()
 
Well i get your point...but for VC i think this is ridiculous, i mean these games are done and they could have them for everyone in the same date.

Things like we don't get the Mega Man (and some others) games yet makes no sense. The same with the limited time you had SMB 2:the lost levels to download and i don't know certainly what games we have that you don't, but that's bullshit to me.
 
I fully agree about the region of different games, I really don't see the point in not fully releasing the 2bit glory everywhere unless they believe it's a valuable market they can exploit.

Currently my Wii has been played once (Really hooked to poke atm) so it's left there abandoned while i breed. Need to still set it up on the internet aswell :P

Ouch... no Radiant Dawn yet? >_> Damn, well, I guess Harvest Moon is a fair trade for one of them...
 
Well, I used this guide and downloaded Super Mario Bros three and Mega Man two and haven't regretted it yet. Thanks steelicks.
 
on monday, americans will be able to download Harvest Moon... finally =D make sure you guys pick it up!

new reviews coming soon!
 
Out of curiosity, is it possible to create a save file on a Virtual Console game such as Super Mario World or Mario 64 and make sure that it won't be erased no matter what, or do I have to never turn off or reset the system without going back to the Wii menu?
 
if you mean the save state, then no, i dont think so. the only thing that is guaranteed to be saved is stuff you save in the game itself, not the save state feature the Wii offers
 
Wow "Virtual Console", as usual I’m oblivious to the goings on...... great stuff Steelicks.

I'd have to disagree with you though. Banjo Kazooie is better than Mario 64 in every way. And it has that ,”progress at your own pace, and effectively create your own adventure” feel as well.

I'd recommend Alien Storm,. I haven’t played it since I was 12 but I just know its a quality game. Not only is it 2 player which adds to action (seems to be more enemies in 2 player mode), but it also has light gun elements to the game play which should be great coupled with the Wii remote! However this is only MY opinion.

What I eventually want to see released is {1} Donkey Kong Country (N64 v), as I never got the chance to play it. Also {2} Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, OMG. This game is just ultimate =p. I remember owning the Older kids/adults at Mortal Kombat 1 when I was six LOLz.

{3} Jet Force Gemini like someone said earlier, a lot better than Golden eye.... I got stuck mid way between this game. I couldn’t find the last body part to re-create the robot or something =[.

Just like Freakton above me. I'm waiting for the release of Mario Kart and SSBB before I get my Wii. Look out for my name on both leader boards =p.
 
hey i never said mario 64 is better than banjo kazooie...

also, i doubt very much that games by RARE (ie: jet force gemini, banjo kazooie, goldeneye) will be released on wii virtual console, as RARE belong to Microsoft now. the only reason the Donkey Kong Country series was released is because donkey and diddy kong are property of nintendo
 
I'd have to disagree with you though. Banjo Kazooie is better than Mario 64 in every way.

But without Mario 64 all these wouldn't exist, it was a breaktrough in 3-D platforms when it first came out. It's unfair to compare them because one being relased later than the other!. And even though, Mario 64 is better imo.

I really want to see "Castlevania bloodlines" from the Genesis on the VC :(.
 
I suddenly have the urge to play Lylat wars and Super Mario 64 on my N64 now. Did you actually buy the points for all of those games?
 
I'm glad I decided to click this thread on impulse. It was a fair read and most of your scores are dead on with my own from past experiences.

Considering most of these games are "greatest hits" anyways, its always good to have a guide like this distinguishing 8s from 9s from 10s. Now lets all hope for a MarioRPG release some time soon.
 
This Monday (25-02) we will get Kirby 64 (N64) for the VC in America!. Anyone played it back then?, i haven't and i don't know if this are good or bad news, so any advice from those that played it?.

I'm jealous of PAL getting River city ransom :p.
 
Okay...fuck. So I downloaded a few more VC games, super mario world among them, and at first I thought it didn't seem to bad, but for gods sake, the control scheme is so stupid. It's next to impossible to jump with a shell/while dashing; mario moves so slowly when you aren't dahing aswell :/
 
What control do you use?. Have the classic or is a game cube controller?. I've have found the classic controller very good for most platform games and old ones, not so bad on N64 games either when you get used to the sticks.
 
GC controller, and this has persuaded me. Annoying though, since super metroid has customisable controls D:

Also is there any way of creating a save file in mega man 2? Passwords are a bitch.

EDIT: stupid question of course there isn't

I still have my Kirby 64 cartridge for N64 xD

It's a blast to play, but kinda short.

I'd reccomend it.

God damn it. Now that I got brawl, I finally read this message. >_> Thanks for the reminder Steelicks, I'm definitely getting that game.
 
Hmmm...so after completing my 4th vc game I have decided to finally say this as I was hoping it wasn't true or something, but should there be a way to continue off the "the end" screen in vc games? I'm using the gc controller, and it seems that I just can't go on from there and have to turn off? I know plenty of retro games see this as standard procedure but I want to know if only the wii does this, because I think some games are meant to be able to continue off these screens? Like Super Mario World for example, cleared it today, can't progress from the screen of "realistic" mario, peach, and LUIGI (who is supposed to be playable after beating bowser afaik) smiling below "THE END"...same thing happened in Super Metroid, though with Super Metroid it's even more fucking annoying because I'm stuck in tourian and can't collect the expansions I missed...? Unless there's some way of returning to the rest of zebes without the self-destruct timer? I have pressed every button, left the game for a while (well only on the first two because fuck that)...am I missing something?

Finally, to make sure it isn't just the specific games that are doing this and annoying me, I've completed:

Paper Mario
Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Super Mario World

in that order

I don't know about your specific question... and I don't feel like doing a speed run on Super Mario World right now...

But Luigi on the origional is simply the 2nd player. The 1st player can never play as luigi. I think it changed in the GBA game... but I never bought it because I still have a working SNES.
 
ive neglected this thread recently, but a review for kirby 64, river city ransom, and super street fighter 2 will be coming soon
