Incorrect. Puzzle League (plays exactly the same as the original Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon with same feel and even less slowdown) plus GBMicro is the ultimate form of the IntSys puzzle game time waster.Amir0x said:True, but imho Tetris Attack is the ultimate form of Panel de Pon... the best music, the best theme AND the refinement of Panel de Pon gameplay
(plus I just meant 'no imitations of Tetris Attack', although I guess i should have 'no substitutes')
Once you get a game going, the omission of the snazzy backgrounds of the originals disappears and if you really need the music, put them into your mp3 player.

Interesting, I wish there were more N64 and SNES games though, what's the hold up there I wonder.Chittagong said:

Yeah, that's the thing. I'm usually a stickler for slowdown, but Tetris Attack on SNES wasn't terrible in this regard. It's never a real issue that gets in the way of gameplay, imho. And, as a bonus, you get the **** incredible music and superior backgrounds which more than makes up for it.

Ecco and Gunstar Heroes? O_O
Bringing out the big guns today I see.

Well, they won't be using many Rare games, which leaves exactly how much content that people are interested in? Not a whole hell of a lot. They'll have to be few and far between if they still want N64 updates for the VC in a year or two.Sp3eD said:I have a feeling that N64 stuff is going to be a once every 2 months thing. That sucks
aside from Rare and WWF games, there are still quite a few:
Mario64 (out)
Star Fox 64
Ogre Battle 64
OoT
MM
ExciteBike 64
Wave Race
Paper Mario
SF Rush games
SSB
Harvest Moon 64
MK64
DK64 (nintendo still has rights to this IIRC)
not as exhaustive as the NES and SNES libraries, but still a decent list to pull games from.
edit - and weren't any WCW games done by Aki? Or only the WWF ones?

The list really does need more SNES. I don't understand what the holdup is, there are literally no truly good games on the "by end of 2006" list from Nintendo that weren't on the VC at launch... all of the good stuff is coming from Sega and Hudson.Morts said:
There are, more than likely, some surprises... stuff that isn't on the list. But if that list is totally accurate and there aren't any more first party offerings from Nintendo besides some pretty bad NES titles, then it's a huge misstep.
wwf games will never be rereleased. McMahon has to pay the REAL WWF money every time the logo/phrase is used. On video compilations they actually spend quite a bit of time blurring out the logos. No way Aki or anyone else is going to go in and rework all the art assets to change the WWF logo.Sp3eD said:

seriously. I figured that would be the good thing about not making any major changes to the games...we would literally get an "archive" of hundreds of games to download to our heart's content. But spacing them out seems strange, especially considering emulation of the 8 and 16-bit systems is mostly mature at this point.

that's when I know I spend too much time on GAF...I actually understand why you said Capcom :lol
simple really. by offering "every" game for download all at once, it is very overwhelming, especially for NES games which are already underwhelming by default because of graphics and sound. by releasing just a few titles every week, it allows them to give greater focus to individual titles, and allows consumers to read through the info on just 3-4 titles, vs. 40 titles.soul creator said:
this is not "emulation" and all that goes with it (dvd collection of every rom ftl). This is actually selling, and by extension marketing, actual games. you don't do that by releasing them in batches of 30-50.

Serious. How many people who download those GoodSets of EVERY ROM FOR X EVER actually play (a) more than 5% of them, (b) any of them? My guess is not that many. Putting out new releases every week encourages people to try out the "newest" thing.
I do suspect the current rate of release is a mite too low -- I think you could safely release, like, 8 games a week spread across systems and genres and do pretty well for yourself. Then again, I think that'd be more viable if the prices were a little lower -- if they dropped it to, say, $3/$5/$8 for 1st/2nd/3rd gen stuff I think a lot of people would consistently drop $15 a week to keep up with the stuff that looked interesting.

why release the best games at launch? next year will be a feeding frenzy for these VC games when there is a lull in Wii releases.
Just wait until Chrono Trigger, FF 1-6 and DQ are released for VC. :O :O
My personal wishlist:
Saturn games
Splatterhouse
Blades of Steel
Sonic CD
Eternal Champions CD
Space Runaway

I hope that end of the year list isn't really all that were getting for this year. A mere dozen games left to be spread out over a month.....I was hoping they would at least be putting out 3-4 games per system each week.
