Awesome, the same week I get a Wii, my favourite game lands on VC

[Olly C]

Finally a week thats good to be in PAL land

Been playing F-Zero X for about 6-8 hours over the past 3 days!!

[Charlie]

Great, really pleased for you... </jealousy>

[Kit]

Pff? so instead of releasing Paper Mario, Super Mario Bros 2, Street Fighter II Turbo or F-Zero (just one of them would have been nice) we get Nes Golf (... ) World sports (who?) and Bloody Wolf. Three games I could happily go a lifetime without playing.

The virtual console is just terrible at present, they release far to many Turbo grafx games for anybodys liking, in the six months ive had my Wii they have only released 4 or 5 N64 games and so many turbo grafx games no one knows anything about or really cares about. we all want play old snes and n64 games and not the tripe nintendo give us week after week i mean J J and jeff what the hell is that about.

Nintendo knows that they don't have rights for that many good N64 games, so it isn't suprising that they will be rationed carefully. Oh well, at least Paper Mario is coming out next month.

Whilst i can understand this point of view as many of the older games are a bit pants i do also think that the PC Engine has a much better back catalogue of games than the N64, in fact you can count the good N64 games on one hand.

[BaudAttitude]

Maybe they're holding off on releasing too many (fairly large) N64 games until they have a larger storage solution worked out? It wouldn't take too many of them to fill out the console's internal storage.

, in fact you can count the good N64 games on one hand.

How many fingers you got on your hand

Super mario 64, f zero x, star fox 64, zelda ocarina of time, zelda majoras mask, super smash bros, donkey kong 64, paper mario, kirby crystal shards, mario tennis, mario kart 64, mario party, excitebike 64.

Thats just the ones off the top of my head that I could think of that will be very likely to be put on the VC at some point in time.
It doesn't include the many outstanding titles by Rareware (which may not make it to the VC) or the output by other 3rd parties (While not alot there were some really good 3rd party games)


As I'm not into Shoot-em-ups nothing on the turbo-graffix interests me at the moment except that wonderboy clone.

Space Station Silicon Valley, Goemon, Troublemakers...

Regarding the lack on N64 games, I don't feel the argument 'it wouldn't take too many of them to fill out the console's internal storage' is a valid one as the software can be transferred to memory cards for storage or, for those without a memory card, can be deleted from the hard drive then downloaded again at a later date when needed.
