MODS PLEASE LOCK - The Wii VC Games - Volume 1

[quote name='ajservo1']So not true. Any developer would bend over backwards to get these licenses back again. Both parts realize that there's not a massive profit to be had from it, but there's zero development cost on the licensee's part.

Wait and see. Capcom, a year from now, can drag sales numbers and the cost to port, into Disney and Marvel, and show them sales for Bionic Commando, 1941, Street Fighter, Commando, Strider, Ghosts N Goblins, Mega Man, or anything else they choose to publish, and get the rights with no problems.

It'll end up being more difficult for companies that no longer exsist to get games out than it will for licensed content. When there's money to be made, someone with a license will exploit it. That's why all these games (good or not) got made in the first place.

Take Ducktales for example. You think Disney broke their backs to release Ducktales on DVD? They used the same broadcast masters (which are in sketchy condition anyway) and put them out on DVD. Still sold well. Another example, is that if disney feels that a property isn't worth developing themselves to publish, they'll farm it out. Anchor Bay has had publishing rights for the last two releases of "The Black Hole" on DVD. I don't think it was a huge seller for anchor bay, but it sold okay.[/quote]


Great GREAT Point now if someone will just get the publishing rights for the 80's Sam Jones/Max Sydow Flash Gordon movie I need a clean copy my dvd burn has seen better days and no one seems to have clean copies of the the crappy Region 1 dvd release or an Regionless NTSC version of the Region3 collector edition released last year.
 
I never had a Genesis, but I remember playing one of those Illusion games. They really rocked...I wanted a Genesis for those games specifically (well not really, I was a nintendo fanboy, but I still wanted to play those games). I remember playing them at my mother's boss' house with his son.

Damn I would love to play those.

Did you have a Game Gear? There was one on there too. It was also top notch. I'm kicking myself for selling it back in the day. :(

Those were great games, though - I actualy still have them.

Still have my Game Gear and all my games/accessories. I have several Disney sidescrolling classics of that era (Lion King, Jungle Book, Aladdin), but not sure if I have Castle of Illusion or Land of Illusion. I think I may have one of the sidescrollers Donald was in.

My wife would freak out if Duck Tales hits the VC. She always talks about how that was her favorite game when she was little.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Not sure. I was very young (8-ish) when I had last played it. I can only remember little bits and pieces. Mickey yelling "Alakazam!" Riding on moving platforms for long amounts of time. Fighting the mad hatter repeatedly. I think there might have been a giant-sized level, where you could step on tubes of tooth-paste, and the paste would come flying out. There may have been a Christmas level, but I'm quite hazy on that one. I think the game ended with Mickey and Donald putting on a magic show for a bunch of Disney characters. There was co-op gameplay. It was beautiful.

That sound like it to you?[/quote]

nah man not at all, lol, adv. in magical kingdom had some cute little orange cowboy character and you'd go into the rides at disneyworld and they'd turn into big worlds you'd have to go through and find keys and shit.. pretty cool, but that one you played sounds better :/

I actually liked World of Illusion even better. If you ever get the chance to play that one, you owe it to yourself to do so.

Castle was one of those games I rented, beat, and would rent again a few months later. World was cool because of the co-op, which was its own game in and of itself.

I remember hating Mickey Mousecapade for NES, though. Capcom crapped the bed with that, but Duck Tales and Chip & Dale made up for it. The original GB port of Duck Tales was pretty good, too, and one of the few GB games I still have.
 
Mousecapade wasnt to bad at all. It was definately better than urban champion or NES baseball. Classic Nintendo, milking it for all it's worth.
Happy New year, here is urban fucking champion. How about Where in the World is Carmen San Diego next.:applause:
 
So has anyone heard even rumors of what is on tap next week? I am really hoping for something decent. C'mon Beetle Adventure Racing! Pro Wrestling! Punch Out!

Eh, we'll probably get Bebe's Kids and fuck.

Pro Wrestling and something else just got rated by the ESRB, but that just means we should expect to see them one day, not next week.

Edit: Galaga's the other one. http://gonintendo.com/?p=11194

There are a pretty sizable number of rated games that haven't been released yet, right? About a dozen or more, I think.

I hope they make up for this past Monday this coming Monday. Too many consecutive weeks of lousy releases will kill the anticipation for me, and I'll stop following it as closely (see: XBLA).

Ok Castlevania and Gunstar are good, but I have played many Castlevania games already, I want something fresh. Chances are with Wario being released next week we will see DK JR Math and something else that s total garbage.
 
Do all games show up on the ESRB thing before they hit the VC? I just got my Wii this past week so I'm wondering if anything came out that wasn't expected. I sure hope so.

Excitebike 64 seriously kicks ass once you get the controls down.
I don't want to pay for the original that comes in the 64 game. Do you think your pleasing any of your fans that are over 12 right now? I would love to talk to the Nintendo of America reps and ask them what there reason for bringing us NES Baseball instead of say supermario rpg or a mariokart?
I want to see how many people(morons) are downloading these games.

And they'd probably give you some elaborate reason, but I can tell you why: they don't need to sell the Wii to someone based on the VC right now. It's selling itself. When the Wii starts sitting on shelves as demand drops and supply rises, then they give people additional reason to buy the console.
 
Of course, they have said that games will not be released on the VC outside of the region that they were originally released in. So, there is a good chance that Sin & Punishment will not be released on the VC outside of Japan.

Although, hasn't some of the TG-16 games been released in regions where they didn't originally come out? I thought Bomberman '93 was Japan only perhaps? I can't recall for sure.

Hagane has been rated by the ESRB, if you check their website. That was a game never released outside of Japan (or, at the least, in the US). I don't know if the "region lock" will hold at all.

I love this portion of the Treasure interview:

"1UP: On one hand it's great to see all these games coming out on Virtual Console, on the other we're bummed that a lot of the Treasure games we've collected might not be as rare anymore.
MM: That's actually one of our concerns as well. Introducing the games to new players is of course great for us and for the industry, but the people that are most important to us are those who have bought our titles over the years - the ones who have been loyal to our stuff all along. We've actually had conversations internally about whether this is disrepectful to our hardcore fans, but hopefully people don't see it that way."

I appreciate Maegawa's sincere consideration of Treasure's fans, but really, who would see a Virtual Console release as disrespectful? Fans should be happy that the company can potentially find new fans through this outlet. You'd have to be one petty little SOB to cry foul over a game's re-release, let alone a purely digital VC release.

To me that's pretty elitist on Treasure's part. As Trey Parker and Matt Stone said in an interview (I'm paraphrasing): "We just want people to check out our stuff. That's what every artist wants." The more people that play your games the better, I'd reckon.
 
I dunno if this has been seen yet but I didn't notice it on the front page. If you go to http://www.esrb.org/ and search Wii, the first game on top of the list is Contra 3 : The Alien Wars. Hope that comes out Monday! Everything else listed seems to already be accounted for.

Considering Super Castlevania is right below it, I doubt that order has anything to do with release dates.
 
After checking the ESRB website, I have concluded that this weeks releases might not suck after all. As for me they will probably do pro wrestling and ice climbers or excitebike just to piss me off because I already own excitebike and ice climbers on the e-reader.

Hah I wasn't implying that at all. Just that it seems new to the list of rated games.
 
If you search the esrb site for "Nintendo", you will find other games that have been confirmed for the VC, such as Hagane. This gives me hope that Beetle Adventure Racing will, in fact, hit the VC. Hopefully this week. :cool:

I noticed that when looking up Hagane the other day there.

What I didn't notice was what I just saw listed on there:
Tin Star, Super Punch Out!!, and Uniracers.

Also, a game titled "Super Mario Bros II Japan." Awesome! (I never played it via All-Stars)
 
Contra 3: Alien Wars.
Gradius.
Dungeon Explorer.
Pilotwings.
Pro-Wrestling.
Punch-Out!
Kid Icurus.
Kirby's Adventure.
Galaga.

(From Nintendo.com forums / ESRB.org)

I'm hoping for Pilotwings, Contra 3, and Kirby's Adventure myself. We'll see what Nintendo decides to pick tomorrow. I only wish Mario Kart 64 was one of the choices.

That's a pretty nice list of titles, yukine! I'm totally in for Pro Wrestling. Been a long time since I laid a brain kick on anybody. :)

I'm starting to curse the 512 internal memory limit...
 
I'd be happy if we get ANY of the following: Punch-Out, Pro Wrestling, Beetle Adventure Racing. I'd want Contra III, but I can't even get through level 2 on the GBA version, so not sure I'd want it on the VC. Would love the original, or better yet, Super C!

It's getting very difficult for me to resist the siren song of the VC much longer. But given that I want to pig out on points when I find them for half price or something, I feel that I can hold out.

What needs to happen is my Rhino needs to have a liquidation sale and give me cards for about 5 bucks each.

Also chocolate needs to rain from the sky.
