Do you guys think it's likely that one of the TMNT beat em ups are going to come? Either the arcade version on the NES or the SNES one...I don't know which one is better or which one I want more!

If that's true, why there are some audio glitches in the emulation of Mario Kart 64 ? Anyway, I have my reasons to believe that more complex games will not be possible or worth the effort, based on how the emulation works on PC, and games relesead comercially with bad emulation.
But what I can guarantee is that the framerate of any game cant be better than what originally was on a real N64.

Oh theres a difference in framerate on the N64 games. Most of 3 player Mario Kart 64 runs as smooth as it should in 1 or 2 player modes, which is part of the reason that I wanted it on Wii for the smoothed out framerate. Its not true for 4 player mode, but its still as fun as ever.
Super Mario 64 has no slowdown at all, unlike the N64 original, that wouldnt go as smooth as it should every once in awhile.

The only thing close to a console port of the Simpsons Arcade game is the DOS port, which only had up to 2 players and obviously worse sound and graphics.
What a time when arcades had the best video game technology over consoles...

Tie it in with the movie. I'd pay for the NES games for sure, even the first one.

I wonder if we could make a list of 'potential' beat-em-ups for the Virtual Console, based on the developers who are supporting it.
I'll give it a try!
On the NES side, these are possible:
Kung Fu(early BEU by Irem)
Adventures of Bayou Billy(Konami)
Renegade(Taito)
Target: Renegade(Taito)
Mighty Final Fight(Capcom)
P.O.W.(SNK)
Not sure if Atlus could bring over Technos' titles like Double Dragon or River City Ransom. But t'would be nice. Sames goes for Rare's games like Battletoads.(a remake of Double Dragon, IS coming to the Xbox Live service, however...). Konami still holds a TMNT license....but I doubt we'll see any of those titles. Same with Batman Returns. There was also Toxic Crusaders and Zen: Intergalactic Ninja BEUs for the NES.
On the Sega front, we have:
Streets of Rage(Sega) Already released.
Streets of Rage 2(Sega)
Streets of Rage 3(Sega)
Alien Storm(Sega)
Comix Zone(Sega) Already released.
Altered Beast(Sega) Already released.
Golden Axe(Sega) Already released.
Golden Axe 2(Sega)
Golden Axe 3(Sega...hey, they released it in the Genny collection for PS2...why not?)
Cyborg Justice(Sega)
Last Battle(Sega)
Sunset Riders(Konami...sort of a run'n gun/beat'em up hybrid)
Splatterhouse 2(Namco - more of an 'action' game, really)
Splatterhouse 3(Namco)
Again, unlikely to see any of the DD, TMNT, Batman, or Battletoads games. There were also games for Spider-Man, Captain America, Superman, Power Rangers, and The Tick.
Sega also had 'DJ Boy', a port of a Kaneko(doesn't support VC to my knowledge) arcade game, and 'Two Crude Dudes' by Data East(defunt. Don't know who owns the rights.)
As for SNES, they had a bunch of potential VC beat-em-ups:
Final Fight(Capcom)
Final Fight 2(Capcom)
Final Fight 3(Capcom)
Final Fight Guy(Capcom...if they could only combine this with Final Fight 1 to access all 3 characters...and improve a few things...alas...)
Ninja Warriors(Taito)
Knights of the Round(Capcom)
King of Dragons(Capcom)
Captain Commando(Capcom)
Sonic Blast Man(Taito)
Sonic Blast Man 2(Taito)
Rival Turf(Jaleco)
Brawl Brothers(Jaleco)
Peace Keepers(Jaleco)
Sunset Riders(Konami - superior to Genesis version)
They also had two Technos beatemups: Combatribes and Super Double Dragon. And a couple of Battletoads games as well. There were beat'emups based on TMNT, Batman Returns, Pirates of Dark Water, WildC.A.T.S., Superman, Spider-Man, Stone Protectors, Power Rangers, Captain America and an Alien vs Predator beat'em up.
Joe and Mac 1 and 2 are 'sorta' beat-em-up-ish...though, they're by Data East, and I don't know who owns the rights to those now.
There were not too many Beat-em ups on the TG16.
Vigilante(Irem) Already released.
Splatterhouse(Namco)
China Warrior(Hudson..a sort of 'Kung-Fu' clone)
Bravoman(Namco, a platformer hybrid)
Samurai Ghost(Namco, ditto)
Did I miss any?

Wait a minute here. Where the hell is Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and ****ing Duck Tales? Is it too much to ask to bring us some NES games worth downloading?

Licensed games. =(
But yeah, they're lacking a bit in the NES department. There are lots of good NES games they COULD put up.
Like Castlevania, or Contra, or Mega Man 2, or Punch-Out!!, or Ninja Gaiden, or Bubble Bobble, etc etc

I've had buyer's remorse on two games: Wario's Woods and Mario Kart 64. The other 8 games I own have all been exactly what I wanted them to be.
But yeah, Bog, the remorse set in rather quickly with Wario and Kart. I tarnished some of my memories!

I'm wondering that myself...
Unison said:
Yes, I have over twenty Virtual Console games myself.
Only on Gunstar Heroes. The other thirteen games I love.Bog said:
Anyway. Out of this update... Hmm, I'll get Donkey Kong Country eventually, and probably Streets of Rage. New Adventure Island is tempting at that price point, but for whatever reason I remember not liking Adventure Island on NES as a kid. Maybe I'll still give it a shot eventually.
Of course, every week I say to myself I'll wait for some kind of deal on Wii Points down the road before getting X Game and Y Game, and then I never do. We'll see how long I hold out this time.

I just read on gamesindustry.biz that Nintendo is rethinking its policy on only releasing games on the VC in a territory where it was originally available.
Now first and third party games will be available to territories that never got the opportunity to play certain games before.
Come on, Sin & Punishment!!

As for Nintendo releasing games in other territories: That's good news...but c'mon, you know they planned it all along. One of their 'surprises', no doubt. If there's money to be had, Nintendo will be there, you can bet.
Bog said:
I got buyer's remorse with Gunstar Heroes and Kid Icarus. Gunstar Heroes just isn't my type of game, and Kid Icarus is insanely hard. I'll go back to Kid Icarus and when/if I get past the first level I might feel different about it.
I'm waiting for Duck Tales, Megaman II, Tetris, Tetris Attack, Dr. Mario, and SMB3. Any word on those?

Kirby's Adventure - $5
The Legend of Zelda - $5

I think that comes to around $288 in total
There are some in there I've been a bit disappointed by, but for the most part I'm happy with the games I've purchased - though the Megadrive games really need to see the same kind of PAL fixing some of the N64/SNES/NES/TG16 games have had.

It surprises me how many people can't get far in Kid Icarus.
I played the game for the very first time in like, 1999, and beat it in one sitting. It was fairly challenging, but I thought it was fair.

This was actually hinted at beforehand a few times, though not official. The ESRB gave SMB: The Lost Levels and E rating, Hudson mentioned looking into localising Dracula X PCE and Nintendo had S&P on that infamous Virtual Console poll.Vilix said:
Makes some sense actually imo... I expect to see quite a few titles pop up that already have solid translations in place (Mother 1, Terranigma, S&P, Alien Soldier, etc) and I wouldn't be surprised to see old titles localised or even re-localised at a premium rate (mainly RPGs most likely).

Ha! It did have a lot of BEU elements, wheras the first one was strictly platformer.
I didn't even bother with N64 cuz....well, read on...
In that case, here's the other N64 games that are sorta Beat-em-upish.
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker(Kemco)
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys(Player 1/Titus)
Fighting Force 64(Cave/Core)
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: SubZero(Midway/Avalanche)
Wow, what a lot of worthy downloads! XD
They all suck.

The second.
The third would be the best, if not for the inferior music and the mucked up translation(censorship, removed/altered enemies and playable characters, etc)

Please don't tell me they didn't release DKC. That's all I want.
Although I'm also trying to decide between SoR and NAI.

I bought into the NeoGAF Solomon's Key hype... thought it was a pretty substandard puzzler with corny music and poor graphics; Fire and Ice (its "sequel") is a much better game, I hope to see that on the VC some day.
My best friend owns every single VC game, so far, including crap like Urban Champion and the NES sports games. Talk about buyer's remorse...
