Nintendo's concerned with accuracy of the experience which is a little different. Or at least they used to be on Wii, they've been slowly changing stance on 3DS and Wii U (NSTC versions in PAL, save states, button config, console/handheld crossover, etc).
That game already came out a few weeks back, didn't it?
Why does it look so bad?Same level on the Wii U.
Yeah, no thanks.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm never getting another Metroid game am I? NOA won't even throw me a bone with MZM on the VC.

Indeed. Seems their Twitter guy has made a mistake, Miiverse confirms it's Rainbow Bell Adventures that went up. Guess it's easy to confuse the two if you don't know.

sörine;123454979 said:NES on 3DS seems to be just raw emulator output. So the aspect ratio isn't adjusted to match what you'd see on your television, making the image look slightly stretched in comparison. Here's an example.
On the other hand there's no blurry filter, pixels are nice and chunky while colors are vibrant, so 3DS is still leagues ahead of Wii U and I'd even put it above Wii outside native res personally. So basically; Wii (240p) > 3DS > Wii (480i/p) or Wii mode (Wii U) >>>> Wii U.
The NES (and the SNES) didn't output square pixels. The 3DS screen is 240p, so the image is only scaled horizontally. The Wii U, Wii at 480i/p and vWii do basically the same thing, but at 2X scaling. The Wii (not vWii) supports the native NES and SNES resolution, so it won't do any scaling. However, it's pointless if you're using an LCD because the TV will have to scale whatever it's being fed anyway.

Frederic: Resurection of Music gets my stamp of approval. A competent rhythm game with an good art style and goofy story.
Price?

On a the plus side, the far superior Mega Man X and Mega Man X2 are on the Wii U Virtual Console already.

I read this as "Chip's Challenge"
That game is awesome.
In other unfortunate news, XType Plus has been delayed in North America and removed from the European eShop in light of that system-crashing bug that was discovered.

Do you think they will release Metroid Zero Mission for EU in the next weeks? Still have 9 Euro on my account and I finally want to play my first Metroid game.
Stay far away from Chip Challenge. It plays nothing like the main BN games. It's just luck-based battles against others. Your chips get chosen randomly and you just... automatically use them against the enemy on a straight line. Total garbage.
The presentation and the music is the only good thing about it.
Why do they even release it before 2 and 3?
That the end user experience was a close as possible to the original. That's why they did things like exclude save states on Wii or patched slowdown back into Star Fox 64.
Same level on the Wii U.
Yeah, no thanks.
The last time I played NES VC on my Wii U, I kept asking myself if it's supposed to be this dark.

This right here! They are so inconsistent with this, it's really frustrating. Once again, I find myself asking for just an OPTION. Filter on or off, brightness, you know, basic stuff!

I'm playing Mega Man 2 for the first time on Wii U. I'm enjoying it, but it's really a shame that it has to look like this. I'll probably stay away from NES games and stick to SNES and GBA.
Jeez you are so annoying.
Farewell July we will miss you. ;_;

What's with Steel Empire being $29.99?
The original was a great little shooter, but it confuses me why they think a decent visual overhaul on an old-school shooter with 7 stages deserves such a high price tag. It seems like porting this like the Sega 3D 3DS ports for like 5.99 would have been far more effective.
Has anyone played this?

Yeah it really sucks that Capcom decided to release everything on the wii u instead of just finishing off the collection on the Wii VC. I'd much rather just by the last couple missing titles from that service than buy everything again on the Wii U. As it stands I might just say to hell with it and only pick up the GBA titles.

hows rayman 3d? got through halfway on the ps2 version and really enjoyed it but no longer have one
It's based on the Dreamcast version, so it has less content than the PS2 version. (The PS2 version is actually somewhat of a remake of the Dreamcast version; all of the overworld sections in the PS2 game were not present in the earlier versions.) It also runs much worse than super smooth 60 fps Dreamcast version. In short, get the Dreamcast version instead. (Or the PC version if that's not an option.)
I'll second this. I found it to run surprisingly poorly.
