Devyn Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I downloaded Splatterhouse the other day. It didn't have very good reviews, but somehow I love this game. I guess it's just the horror-movie ripoff feel. But yeah, I hope they put the sequels on virtual console because they were better. It's pretty damn hard too. I also played Contra 3 on hard difficulty, and got my ass handed to me. I think I might do a little better with a virtual console controller as opposed to a gamecube controller. When I got to the boss of stage 2, my girlfriend was like "Oh my god. What are those things? Get them away!" And then, when the real boss came out, she was like "Oh my god. That's horrible!" Quote
Toadofsky Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Haven't downloaded any games lately, although StarFox 64 looks promising, still waiting for Plok and Chuck Rock (like those two will ever be on the Virtual Console), here's hoping for Dino City or Rocky Rodent... Quote
Devyn Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Hell yeah. I'm so going to get Rocky Rodent if it ever appears. I was hoping for Smartball to come out, but considering who owns it, I think I'll have to buy a copy for my SNES. I'd like to see some Sunsoft games too, but I don't know who owns that either. Quote
Antipode Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I want Super Metroid, DKC2, and Mario RPG to show up on VC. Then I'll be a happy man. Anyway, I'm actually beginning to consider Charged. It looks pretty cool (particularly because of the online play) and I missed out on the GC version. Quote
KirbyMeister Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Nobody really cares or noticed this, but the Mii Popularity Channel is late. Quote
SilverStar Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Nobody really cares or noticed this, but the Mii Popularity Channel is late. I'm guessing it's because the Internet channel came late, and Nintendo doesn't want to release 2 channels in the same calender month. I'd expect it in the first week of May. Quote
Neo Samus Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I'm curious how the Mii Popularity Channel will be. So far every channel has been well made and not just slapped together. Quote
Merk Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 North American Virtual Console releases today: Castlevania (NES): Back in the day when it was linear The Legend of the Mystical Ninja (SNES) The first American release of the series, before he changed his name back to Goemon Shockman (T16) Not a robot master Quote
Penfold Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Shockman (T16) Not a robot master lol. That comment reminds me how much I'd like it if they put Mega Man (any of them) onto the VC. Personally, I never got around to buying the Mega Man or Mega Man X Collections from the last generation, so I'd enjoy having those games available via VC eventually. Also, yay for the original Castlevania being on VC...gonna be getting that later. Still waiting for Metroid and Super Metroid. Also, while not likely at all at this point, I'd love to see Metroid II: Return of Samus on the VC one of these days...I'd especially love it if were to be "Zero Mission-ized" and thrown onto the VC. Only Metroid game I never even played. EDIT: I'm curious how the Mii Popularity Channel will be. So far every channel has been well made and not just slapped together. Every week IGN showcases several Miis created to look like tv show characters, so it makes me wonder if there will be some sort of similar component to the Mii Popularity Channel. Anyway, I'll be interested to see how it turns out. Quote
Neo-Egyptian Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I'm at the end of my second year at uni and I've reached that critical stage where I know if I don't start working really hard, right now, I simply won't have enough time to get everything done. Imagine my horror, then, when the mailman knocked round this morning to give me my copy of Heatseeker. It's just sitting there by the TV now. Watching. Waiting. Quote
Devyn Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Another 200 bucks for Nintendo to take out of my ass. Quote

Penfold Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Yeah, out of the list, there are 9 I'm getting for sure. Then, I dunno about Forever Blue, I won't be getting Wii Health Pack (I work out more than enough as is), and the rest are all maybe. Quote
chrono26 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Party, Brawl, Galaxy and Prime 3 are pretty much sold. Day of Crisis is most likey going to be a yes and possibly Strikers. and a maybe for the Olympics one. will probably be a great party game. Quote
vega12 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Day of Crisis I am definately interested in learning more about, but I also look forward to Project HAMMER. It looks like it could be a simple, yet fun game. Although I just hope they do it such that it doesn't get old fast, because it also looks like it could be one of those kind of games. Quote
Zup Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 *drools*If only I had a Wii... If only I had money... Quote

Citris Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Tch. I have the money for a Wii, but I still can't find one. I wonder when they're going to stop flying off the shelves. Quote
Hector Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Its about time for Nintendo to start actually bringing out some heavy-hitters. Up till now, they've been relying on novelty, nostalgia and being cheap. Quote
KakTheInfected Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I really can't wait to play the new stuff like Disaster and Project Hammer. Battalion Wars 2 is going to be awesome as well...I wish we knew exactly when it was coming out. Quote
linkspast Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Its about time for Nintendo to start actually bringing out some heavy-hitters. Up till now, they've been relying on novelty, nostalgia and being cheap. mmmm Nostalgia every fanboys weakness.... Quote
BigBoss Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 nostalgia If Nintendo makes a new sequel to Kid Icarus, I'll cry happy tears. Quote
AMT Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Hey, I just got a Wii with Super Paper Mario, and I'm looking at Far Cry Instincts, as it's only $20, and another game would be nice. The reviews I've read either hated it with every ounce of their body or loved it despite its graphical flaws. Anyone here play it? Is it worth $20? Quote
