[quote name='hupp']Good thinking Nintendo. Put a game out that was on gba and even younger generations have already played rather than putting out supermario rpg.
Great move, Great move.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, what the hell are they trying to do release a bunch of good VC games the week Halo 3 comes out?[/QUOTE]
Zelda LTTP = Nintendo Developed Game
Super Mario RPG = Squaresoft/Enix developed game
There may still be issues with getting Squaresoft games on the VC. Trust me, I would KILL for Mario RPG today. That is in my Top 5 games of all time. It will come someday....someday. I heard 'rumors' of February....but nothing solid yet.

God, I love this game. I really don't need it though as I still have my SNES cart and my GBA cart. Still, if you've never played this $8ish is an absolute steal.
Also, R-Type 3 got released last week along with two other games, the VC has had at least one game released each week. Releasing only Zelda is a good idea because everything gets lost in it's greatness.
And hupp needs more training.

Didn't I see a speed run where someone beat this game in like, 3 hours or something?
One of the few games I don't mind buying over and over and over.

Yeah someone already posted one in this thread I believe.
Regardless I can't imagine someone doing a speed run is going to get the same enjoyment out of the game as someone taking their time and exploring.

Nintendo published Super Mario RPG, and Super Mario RPG has already been sent in to be rated by the ESRB, so it's coming. Nobody knows when though, but it's definitely coming.

It's already been submitted to be approved by the ESRB by Nintendo - no issues with it. I'm pretty sure Nintendo owns all the rights to the game just like they own all the rights to Donkey Kong Country even though Rare made it.

Thats what I was thinking (Mario RPG) and I'm glad. I had forgotten about DKC being a possible release, and since Rare is with MS now...that means may get Banjo soon.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but were there not ratings for all SNES games? Or do they have to be re-rated? How does the ESRB handle compilations like the Sega Genesis collection then?
Edit: Mario RPG was rated K to A, so I assume it has to be changed since they no longer follow those guidelines.

The compliations get the rating of the most offensive game - this is why Sega didn't want to put Streets of Rage 1 - 3 on our Sonic Gems collection in the US, because SoR would have given it a T rating.
All the games have to be re-rated, you're correct.
How it worked is that Rare owns the properties they created... they own Banjo and Conker and took them with them. This is why, in the Diddy Kong Racing port to the DS, Conker and Banjo are long gone. For Nintendo to put Banjo Kazooie on the VC, they'd have to work out a deal with Rare / MS, and MS would rather just try and put the game on the XBLA since it's probably possible.
Rare created DKC 1 - 3 and 64 BUT all the characters they created are property of Nintendo, and Nintendo owns the rights. I'm pretty sure it's the same way with Mario RPG. It wasn't even until recently that Nintendo started including characters from DKC 2 in their games (like Dixie Kong).

They be developing it but their own characters aren't showing up in it, that's already been confirmed. No Conker, no Banjo, we're getting 4 new characters instead. I guess MS didn't want them to be in it or something, who knows.
And Gizmo, Rare created Diddy Kong, but I think it's one of those things where Rare could create anything they wanted inside Nintendo's universe, but Nintendo owns the rights to every character they create within the Donkey Kong franchise.

I have only played a little bit of it. There are probably quite a few people that bought a Wii that have never played SNES Zelda. I never had a Super Nintendo. I only had the Sega systems from genesis on. I will get it eventually but I'm playing Excite Truck now and Trauma Center, and then the baseball games come out. Might be awhile before I can play this one, but this is the 1 VC I was waiting for.

Square does own the right to the Mario RPG characters if you played Mario and Luigi. However I dont see them giving Nintendo any problem if Nintendo release it on VC.
If Rare wants to include Banjo and Conker, MS probably let them if they ask nicely. MS has allow Age of Empire and Mech Assult on DS already.

A big reason for me getting a Wii was because of the VC... I mean, I can have all my games on one system, and never have to worry about them not working? I don't have to worry about

I can turn on my Wii, play a game, turn it off.
I think by this time next year the VC is going to be huge.

Yea... that's like saying SOTN can't show up because it was originally on the Playstation. They would just have to get it running on the 360. MS owns everything having to do with Banjo Kazooie, including the source code.
Originally you didn't see any games like that because MS had a 50mb limit.. they've since raised it so anything is possible.
Now, if MS was REALLY smart, they'd throw in Banjo Kazooie and Tooie on the XBLA the week (or a week before) Banjo-Threeie is going to come out... kind of like if they were to release the old Shadowrun games on XBLA before the new one hits.
I wish companies, Nintendo included, would start promoting their series in this way, and using the VC as a clever marketing tool. I'd love to see them throw some old Mario Party's on the VC in March to hype up Mario Party 8, and maybe some more Mario platformers in April (like SMB 3) to hype up Super Paper Mario.

The thing is though that Symphony of the Night was on the Saturn too. It's never been a Playstation exclusive. The difference is that Banjo Kazooie and Tooie might be tied up as Nintendo only games. I seriously doubt that Nintendo is not forward thinking enough to sign some type of exclusive contract with Rare for their Rare games on the SNES and N64 before they were bought out by Microsoft.

It's just a platform it's on, nothing more. Part of MS buying Rare from Nintendo was that they also bought the rights to Banjo Kazooie, Conker, I think Killer Instinct and can do with them what they please. MS owns the characters, the worlds, the source code, everything.
If such a contract was as you described, we'd be seeing Conker and Banjo Kazooie as part of Diddy Kong Racing, but we're not.
Nintendo kept the rights to everything created within the DKC universe but sold all of Rare's properties with Rare.
Here is proof from the Wiki... the "he" is Matt Cassimiania or whatver his name is, from IGN:
