Wow, two games released for the eShop in one week? Either Iwatas influence is spreading already or they already had those ready to go. Not that I'll be buying either, I've got far too many copies of MM1 than I'm proud to admit and I have the Arcade version of Pac-Man on my PS3. At least they're putting stuff up.

Nick at Nite posted:Meanwhile, in Japan, they're getting three more Kirby games this week. I feel like their virtual console strategy is designed to make me feel like it's the early 90s again, with Japan getting everything nine months earlier and half of it never coming here at all. Well, we'll probably get Dream Course and Dream Land 3 sometime in the future (They were on the Sizzle Reel, after all.) but I wouldn't expect Star Stacker SFC unless NoA decides to put some imports out (Did we get any Import SNES games in the US for the Wii VC? I only recall NES imports and Sin&Punishment). But still, early 90s? Japan still gets most things far earlier than anywhere else. That's how its always been.

AlmightyBob posted:At least it's not the Atari 2600 version. HHHHHHGggggg Well thankfully the 2600 wouldn't be feasible as an option for VC games. Too simple, the only people who would buy them are people who want to relive nostalgia, because collectors would just buy carts. And they would probably be overpriced, like $2 or something.

Joramun posted:DoReMi Fantasy. Must've popped up sometime after I stopped checking the Wii Shop every week. But yeah, I thought there was at least one SNES import game. Just wasn't sure and didn't want to come off like a jackass and assume there was. I'm not really hopeful that we'll get more imports this time around, but it'd be pretty nice to see. Same with more C64 games, that kind of died out like the VC Arcade did.

Onean posted:Dinosaur Office was the only reason I kept Nintendo Video on my 3DS for as long as I did. Then I got desperate for space on the SD card and got rid of it. After buying a new SD card I've just been too lazy to put it back on. I've been keeping the little Kid Icarus OVA's on my SD Card, which is the only reason I kept Nintendo Video. It'd be nice if I could put them on my PC, but I'm pretty sure they're encrypted or in a foreign file format.

Supercar Gautier posted:Next week is Kirby week (Dream Course, Superstar, Dream Land 3), so they'll probably be doing the same buy-2-get-3 promo as they did in Japan. I'm sure a lot of it is experimentation at this point, but I hope it continues. Naturally, we get Super Star instead of SFC Star Stacker, though that's not a bad thing in the least. Would be nice to see SFC Star Stacker in the future though, can't imagine it needs any translation really.

Magossa posted:So I recently got Super Mario World on the VC, and holy spit I do not understand why so many people like that game. The controls are sooooo bad. Is it something I'm suppose to get use to? Is everyone use to it because they played it in their youth? Right now I feel like people only like it for nostalgic reasons. It might just be me sucking at trying to control floaty rear end Mario since I'm so use to the New series. Should I even bother with Super Mario 2? But Mario is Floatier in NSMB than he is in World.

Supercar Gautier posted:As far as I'm concerned, if the VC has at least one game worth getting each week, then that's fine. So far so good! Hell, in the case of this week every game is worth getting. Its pretty neat that they put out all three SNES Kirby games (Avalanche doesn't really count and we never got SFC Star Stacker.) Next week will be good automatically thanks to Oracles, but if we get some more good Wii U releases that'd be great.

The Machine posted:Sitting here with my 3DS absolutely hating Nintendo for not putting SNES games on the eShop. I want Mega Man X! I will to this day never understand why people continue to complain about how there are no SNES games on the 3DS when NES games have oddly distorted resolution more often than not. I don't want SNES games looking muddled, I want them looking Pixel perfect unless they're abusing fake transparency like KDL3.

The only reason I'm not playing them right the gently caress now is that I've vowed to finish Zelda 2 and Link's Awakening first. I take it the service isn't contiguous, and some of the servers aren't updated yet even if they should've been already. Spiffster posted:Welcome to my past 2 or so hours. Why did they choose 9 anyway and not midnight? They've never updated the eShop at Midnight. It would make more sense to do so but nobody does that it seems.

C-Euro posted:Is there a timetable for when the Wii Shop Channel is going to be taken down? I heard that the News and Weather Channels were being taken down soon, so I want to know if and when I should start hoarding VC/WiiWare games Since they're still releasing games on there (They're all Neo-Geo games lately but the point still stands), I take it that the Wii Shop will stay up, at least until the Wii is discontinued. And even then it'll probably remain up until Nintendo decides to remove Wii functionality from Wii U systems (Which hopefully they won't do.)

Sarchasm posted:Five games of content, and this is what they cherry-pick. Worst mix-tape ever. Yep, they picked only 4 and 5 levels(And Quick Man's Stage from 2). To be fair that's probably for the best graphically as the MM1 and 2 stages (Hell even some of the 3 stages) are very... empty looking compared to the detailed graphics in 4 and 5. So maybe that could be it, doesn't mean they picked a good lot of stages though, not at all.

Balcony posted:I'm looking forward to these 3D SEGA Megadrive ports. I hope they all have extras like the CRT effect we were promised for Sonic 1. If they do well, hopefully we will get some SNES 3D classics. Apparently the S1 3D has some minor sound guffs among some other minor problems, but its really just Sonic 1 with a Spindash, and there are better versions out there. If you desperately want a rerelease you should try the iOS/Android port as its actually got some new stuff.
