Is this a possible option, anyway?

Where the hell is
etcetera?
The ones that I do not personally own are Uniracers, Pilotwings, Pilotwings 64, and F-Zero eXpansion, and there is nothing wrong with me wanting games that I already have.

There's a chance, maybe, who knows... look at the previous page, my post for TT statement. Tomorrow we should know better if a fix ain't happening.

To anybody who has a Japanese Wii, can you tell me how the VC Arcade version of Cyber Sled plays? Does it have multiplayer?

Some of those fall under emulation work required (Starfox, F-Zero X Expansion and DK64).cantstanja said:
Uniracers probably won't be coming due to Pixar. I can only find anecdotal evidence like the following:

If that stupid old rumours like the "Wario Wher eTwisted didn't come in Euorpe due to merkury senzors despite the game not using mercury in its pizoelectric gyroscorez" then I apologize.http://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/uniracers/trivia said:
Super Mario Kart and Smash Bros are game #350 and #400 (what I mean is there is no reason why they are not out yet).
Mario Tennis (and Party for that matter) will be along time due to the fact Nintendo would rather you buy the Wii versions.
As for Pilotwings. This has got the 5th time I've looked up a non-existant Japanese release of Pilotwings 64 on the virtual console (why do I keep thinking it is out in Japan).

It's okay in singleplayer mode if you liked Ironman OffRoad or other top-down racers but it shines in multiplayer mode. There are 15 stages, 6 different game modes varying from championship racing to modes like tag or 'hold the potatoe' (my favorite mode is meteor mode which is almost like championship with the difference that an increasing amount of meteors keep falling and it's incredibly hard to finish without getting hit). And also there are many many vehicles to choose from (and lots of unlockable wacky vehicles such as a hovercraft or a golf-cart) which have their own driving characteristics.
The controls are fine (left, right, brake/reverse, accelerate), how the vehicle reacts differs a lot between vehicles though, and of course they drift (hence the name) so you'll have to learn the steering characteristics of a car before you can make pixel-perfect turns. The cars are physics driven so you may actually roll over if you hit anything. The multiplayer mode is very customizable, you can play it with up to 8 people simultanously (i.e. one player uses wiimote, second uses 1st player's classic controller etc). I've only played with two friends so far and set the other 5 cars to COM (computer controlled AI). A championship is normally 4 courses but you can also set it to 'all tracks' and randomize them if you like.
You don't use items in this game which is fine since often it's mayhem right from the start. Occasionally you'll find oil on the road if two cars collided, or a fence which was driven over by someone. Oh and there are Mario Kart-like boosters.
Overall it's a good game for multiplayer, I'll probably play it quite often with friends. For just one player I don't think it's worth the 8 bucks.

The typing was intentionally poor but basically a common bit of mis-information that has done its rounds accross the internet is the European release of Wario Ware Twisted was canceled becuase the game uses a liquid mercury sensor and EU law doesn't allow that. However, lquid mercury is forbidden in serveral US states as well. In fact, the game uses one of these and so the hunt for an explaination of why Nintendo of Euopre didn't release to game goes on.cantstanja said:
I was thinking my "Uniracers won't happen due to similarities to a Pixar character" theory could be a similar piece of misinformation.

Telltale should have not released the game on WiiWare if it was not ready. They should have delayed a few weeks to try to get it better. Also, if they think the Wii isn't capable of running the game, then don't release it for it. The last thing people want is half-assed MI. And TT, please do not skimp out on things in all versions of the next installment just so it will fit on the Wii.

S-E is going to be releasing some games on VC soon.

Man, seeing that trailer just makes me wish we could get a new, full-fledged Ecco game at some point.JustAnotherOtaku said:In addition to these, SeaFarm is coming to Japanese WiiWare this Tuesday. It's a dolphin raising/training/competing game and only costs 500 pts. May pick it up
You mean in the US? Or more games for Japan that we don't know about yet?Dragona Akehi said:

NA VC. Should hit EUR too.
Starwolf_UK said:
It was related to the rumble thing inside the cartridge, I believe. That's why they also didn't release Screw Breaker/Drill Dozer over here. When they had changed everything and wanted to release it in December 2006, it was just too late and the game was cancelled.
We also got the DS Rumble Pak much later.

And you think SE is going to release CT on VC when the DS version is STILL selling?

Hey, they released Front Mission on VC and FFT on PSN despite them both seeing recent re-releases!
I don't really expect CT for another two years at least though, but that doesn't mean that we couldn't get Quintet's games rather than just the FF games

Guys. Really. What game do you think would fit with SE's current downloadable releases?

Yeah I know that it's probably going to be just FF1 and FF4, I'm just feigning hope for something else from the Square and Enix (Not Taito or Eidos) side in addition to FF.

Given what has come to Wii so far, I wouldn't be surprised by Bushido Blade Returns, a straight port of the PS1 version with standard remote controls...
Dragona Akehi said:
Do you think that the Chrono Trigger fanbase wouldn't buy BOTH the DS and a VC version? They were defending the $40 price tag on the DS version not that long ago..

Did we get King's Knight yet?
Edit: We did, it appears.

Oh yes, some Lufia love woud be nice. I want to dive into that hellish dungeon again, and sniffle at the ending. And one day I will find the guy that told me I could influence who Maxim gets married to, and I will beat the everloving crap out of him.
Also Mystic Quest Legend. Haters be damned, I had fun with that game.
And Live a Live. And EVO. And Terranigma.

Illusion of Gaia/Time would ALSO be nice alongside Terranigma. A man can dream.
And screw the haters, FFMQ is fun and completely justified by its soundtrack.
