I'm not sure what you're avatar is getting at. I don't know how you can argue that there aren't any good games on the VC at this point.

It has to be your connection. I downloaded SMW at about twenty minutes before your post and had no problems. In and out in less than 3 minutes.

EU VC is only 3 games behind NA VC and they haven't gotten their weekly release yet. I wasn't talking about Australia in my post.
Wow.....this is really aggravating. I went out and bought a wavebird just so I could play the VC games wirelessly. I already own 5 official GCN games, but the possibility of totally wireless gameplay was exciting to me. It's worked great on every single game I've downloaded....and now SMW comes out and it's absolute crap. I really wish nintendo would allow you to remap the controller scheme because my finger is getting crazy sore trying to play it on the wavebird.
I've never complained about a singe decision nintendo has made, but wow they are really trying to force their customers to buy this new classic controller and I don't like it.

Ehn, any other day of the week it's in and out for me, too. Mondays just plain suck for it for me, and I don't have this problem with any of the myriad devices I use with my connection aside from the Wii. It really doesn't help that it has to load so many pages. They need to at least give the option of switching to a straight up list format with no fanfare or screenshots, especially as the number of games available increases.
I always do end up getting the game, but not without a lot of aggravation. If *anything* else in my network behaved this way, I'd think it was likely my problem, but between my Wii and Nintendo's server for the shop channel, there be problems. I had to hard power-down the Wii three times tonight...I really hate doing that.

Is anyone else having troubling buying/adding Wii points today? I've tried with 3 different debit / credit cards and every time it says "your billing address information is incorrect."
WTF... I've used 2 of the cards to buy points previously!
Edit: After putting google to work, I found a workaround... set your system country to Brazil. Seriously. I did that and all it did was ask me for my postal code instead of city and state. Bought some points and switched back to US with no ill effects. Phew!

This is so retarded. They MADE the CC so that it'd work well for as many different consoles as possible. The fact that you can play VC games with GameCube controllers isn't a right, it's a privilege. If you don't like the setup, get a classic controller -- the CC was made specifically with the VC in mind and is an outstanding controller.GMUNYIFan said:
I am still laughing at the "trying to force customers to buy this new classic controller." You are EXPECTING a new console to allow you to use all of your old accessories to do all of the new things it offers? Ridiculous.

...The CC is less expensive than the Wavebird...
Is it a new thing for manufacturers to "force" you to get new controllers for new consoles with new needs?

wait till you get to Star Road for the real treat in how ****ed up the sound is.
fix this now.
fix this now.
The CC has proven itself to me with R-Type III and SMW. The Dpad is terrific for 2D games, and the fact that it is selling so well gets me very excited fo some original 2D goodness on the Wii Ware channel. As much as I like it, though, it won't stop me from buying this in a month or so.
Christopher said:
I thought I kept hearing folks say that the game is identical to the original release, and I never heard complaints about it back then.
Is this just an issue with folks with new surround systems and such?
Edit: Okay, I just got to Star Road on the VC release of SMW. The music sounds fine to me, using a cheap stereo speaker setup. What, exactly, is wrong?

I just got to Star Road and it sounds fine to me. What's it like for you?Christopher said:

Is it me who is just missing a certain channel from their games then?
Star road is missing a certain beat in the background.
The castles are also missing a certain beat.
The ghost houses too.
It's nothing big, but certainly you can notice the difference between that and your SNES sounds.
For the people who got to Star Road:

listen to that and listen to yours the "drum" beat is gone on mine that's why it sounds off.

super mario world is clearly the best mario game ever... including mario 64! the soundtrack is awesome too
Christopher said:
I am getting the impression it might just be your sound system.
When you go down a pipe in SMW, does the sound effect travel back and forth between the left and right channels? I couldn't get your Youtube video to load (net problems), but I am fairly sure my VC SMW is playing the music properly... I hear all bass tones.
Jonnyram said:
Mighty Bomb Jack is split between single-screen "collect all the bombs" levels and sidescrolling levels in the style of Mario. There are all sorts of routes through the game, I've never beaten it since it's rather confusing and ill-explained. It took me days of playing before I even realized you can tap "A" to use your cape as a parachute. You are also able to change the color of your outfit, to open up various chests and stuff.

I was blown away by just how incredibly tight this title is. It's the epitome of solid design. Completely timeless, this will be looked back upon fondly and played for generations to come. Just goes to show that flashy 3D bump mapped graphics will never make truly incredible games obsolete.

That looks like a good buy, but in the mean time I'll use my HORI GCN controller for games like Ristar where low batt/wireless drop off can cause problems.
I like the CC for most games though. Just wish there was a button config manager for it or the NES/SNES retro port adaptor you linked. Why did Capcom swap the buttons on the GCN MegaMan collection? And when will we see MegaMan games on the VC?

SM64! Unless you actually like playing with the awkward N64 controller. I prefer it with the CC. I haven't tried playing with a GCN controller. Does the VC version of SM64 rumble with a GCN controller? Has anything been said about the place for clips on the bottom of the VC controller?
Bomberman '93 and SimCity are also worth checking out.

And we'll never get a 6 button classic controller, either.

Great? Yes. Timeless? Already came up short in comparison to Mario 3 IMO, which it owes a lot of the innovations to.
Legend of Zelda 1 if you don't hate hard games (and judging by your current list, you must not), Soldier Blade if you liked Super Star Soldier since it's mostly more of the same, Super Castlevania IV if you don't mind slowdown in places, Military Madness if you don't mind an awkward interface (though this is the only bad thing about it).Kevtones said:
Go with Soldier Blade if you liked SSS, it's not only more of the same. The sequels tops SSS on every points, graphics level design and all. You finally get real backgrounds to add a progression to each level, some gimmick ("I'll be back!", ain't that awesome), the weapon system make more sens especially the way smartbombs are handled and so on...

to anyone that says it's not worth buying a game you already own: have you seen how much better it looks on the wii with components? i can tell a HUGE difference on n64 games.
do yourself a favor and sell your old cartridges for at least how much you'd be spending on the vc version.
