Is the Virtual Console is e-shop equivalent of the Sonic Cycle? I'm excited about DS VC on the Wii U but it will probably be treated as poorly as the current VC.

I don't think so, since there doesn't seem to be anyone that's actually falling for this. I really don't get why they're so consistently terrible at this.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:PAL update (week of January 30) And this is why the DS Virtual Console announcement, as nice of an idea as it is, means jack poo poo right now. It's going to take years just to get back up to parity with the Wii, let alone moving on to Gameboy Advance (which was announced, what, a year ago?) and now DS on top of that. Announcing a new platform for the service is kinda pointless when you're having when literally nothing is coming out from the ones already supported.

Four Swords isn't even on the EU eShop. Has Nintendo just completely forgotten that we exist again? With the delays and lack of ports on games and the complete lack of decent eShop sales, promotions and pricing, it's beginning to feel like the loving N64 days all over again.

It's a pretty good 2D platformer, though some of the stages feel a bit too long. Fun Fact: The original game in the series, The Great Giana Sisters, is a Commodore 64 game that strangely looks familiar...

Blackbelt Bobman posted:gently caress yeah, I'm gonna grab bit.trip.beat 2 when I get home, as well as spin the bottle. What's Giana Sisters? Basically, a European knockoff of the original Super Mario Bros, that managed to at least imprint itself in public consciousness due to the fact the media actually took notice of how much it took from the plumbers. Several unofficial sequels later, the original creator saw that there was enough interest to actually create a full sequel, ironically, on Nintendo's handheld at the time (the DS). Whilst he died in the months thereafter, it clearly renewed further interest in the franchise, as Twisted Dreams was funded by Kickstarter and subsequently released as an arcade title for various platforms. A good case story if you want to examine how derivative can evolve into being its own thing.

I don't know poo poo about the game except for the fact that it's a platformer and Machinae Supremacy did some of the soundtrack, but that's enough for me.

Minidust posted:Four Sword Adventures really is something special, when you have the hardware handy to play it right. Probably the most satisfying co-op gaming experience I've ever had. Considering Nintendo has not been shy about extra hardware requirements for Wii U multiplayer games, it kinda bugs me that they haven't done anything with 3DS connectivity yet. The technology is so much more ready than it was back in the GC/GBA days. That said, I would have also liked a new Crystal Chronicles game more in line with the original Gamecube Game. Echoes of Time was nice for what it was, but it wasn't the same, especially since the Wii version was just a lazy port.

I'm excited to purchase all these games when I get home tonight. Also I find it odd that people are saying that Nintendo announcing DS frames on WiiU means they aren't working on N64 and GBA. Edit: the technical hurdle was apparently only referring to DS games, nevermind. It's still silly to just assume that means Nintendo wasn't working on that other stuff.

If they were ACTUALLY going to make more games available on Wii U, I would be ecstatic about it. But until there's an actual date and a promise of frequent releases, there's no point in getting excited about it. Will it come before the N64 and GBA games they promised? Will it wait until after? How about the TG-16 and MSX support Wii U has in Japan but not America?

I should just get a US 3DS, start importing and kiss my If it wasn't for UK prices and websites like Zavvi, importing US games would even be cheaper than buying 3DS games here in Germany. They have the nerve to charge 45€ MSRP for most 3DS games, that's $60. Nevermind the digital download, which bypasses shipping cost. Seriously considering a US 2DS somewhere down the line.

Why would they when they can spend a few months development time and release it full retail price. I mean, apparently even a basic NES virtual console game takes a few months development time anyway!

You seem to be forgetting Sonic 4 Episode 2 and Sonic Lost World have both been released since those games came out. Also, I never said those games weren't enjoyable. In fact I said I enjoyed Sonic Generations. What I meant by it's been a long time since there was an actual great Sonic game is that it has been a long time since there was a Sonic game that was good enough to sell systems. I wish they'd make a sequel to Sonic Generations but I don't think that will happen. I wonder if we will get the DS Sonic Collection for the Wii U VC.

A few bits of eShop-related news: -Namco has cancelled both the Wii U and 3DS versions of the Pac-Man collection due to "delayed development", which makes me think they probably outsourced both versions to the same studio and they couldn't deliver, but who knows -Warner Bros. has cancelled all upcoming DLC for the new Batman game and has sent out $20 eShop refunds to anyone who bought the season pass, so if you have some extra eShop credit out of nowhere, that's probably why -"Denpa Men 3: The Rise of Digitoll" (3DS) has been OFLC-rated, so expect that to drop in the next few months. The Genius Sonority boss has suggested that he thinks the visual style of the Denpa Men games hasn't resonated with the international audience, and that he wants to change things up drastically for the next one, so this might end up being the final game to use this style/format. -A Natsume community rep claims that Nintendo is still working on GBA support for the 3DS VC, for whatever that's worth

Shame about the Pac-Man Collection thing. I was kind of looking forward to that in the vain hope of seeing Pac-Man Arrangement on there(The original one, not the PSP version.) Nintendo still trying to do GBA Support for the 3DS is a surprise though.

Man, I was looking forward to that Pac-Man collection, especially in a portable digital format. Guess I'll hang on to my copy of "Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions" for 3DS after all. The best thing that could come out of this is that they just release a Wii U version of "Pac-Man Vs." instead. Come on Nintendo, exploit that close working relationship with Namco a bit!!
