That's lame. There should be demos available for every game on the Virtual Console as it is. You shouldn't need a retail disc for that.

Ah didn't think handhelds count, and I never touched any of the GC Sonic games, not really a Sonic fan besides the ones on the Sega systems.

Sakurai isn't in control of the Wii. He can only do so much.

What?! WHATT? I go to sleep and we get a megaton overnight? Damn. Anyway, great update, I only hate the fact this means they want us to pay for the whole game, it even feels incomplete if I don't. Damn you Sakurai :lol , but on the other hand if only this meant Earthbound for the virtual console....

Who hasn't already purchased all the games mentioned on the dojo yet, lol.

I guess we can expect metal gear NES. That was a pretty sweet update

So, seriously, do you think this has been the Nintendo title with the biggest budget yet? A huge development team, more composers than you can shake a stick at, FFVII guy writing the story for subspace, content galore and a brilliant marketing campaign (Japan only on the last one). This is got to cost a fortune for Nintendo, what other title could have been as costly for Nintendo?

"ARGGGGG", indeed. :D

Any way, what are some good media collections you've seen on Nico? One that I've watched recently had like Snowman (Mother 1), the Dark World (Zelda LTTP) and the PKMN R/G/B Title Screen theme.

I'd buy it without the demo, looks fun. I really hope there's a bunch new translated VC demos of previously untranslated "masterpiece" games in Brawl, great advertising.

Check out this screen:

Some titles come with save data.


Q: What point in the game is this? A: The Ridley boss fight right before you get the final energy tank!!!
Click to expand...

I wonder why nobody else commented this. I doublechecked it with the German translation and I can verify this interpretation is true - some of the games already come with existing saves - probably so you can try out games at certain later points in the game (since the first level of a game is often not a good example of the rest of its gameplay). This is more surprising than the simple existance of the demos, and I think its
an extremely good idea.

And I agree that this will start up a new wave of speedrunning - non-emulator assisted.

I don't think anyone's going to beat hotarubi's time, and I'm not sure it's even worth trying for most people. That said, if more people get into Super Metroid speedrunning, that will just be more of a good thing!

I don't really care about demos for most of the games but I'd gladly set aside my sadness about the delay or lack of Isaac if this means a translated Earthbound Zero, Mother 3, and Fire Emblem. This would be the most awesome game in the world if its release heralds localizations of those titles.

I've read some comments saying, "Why doesn't Nintendo give us the whole game, ala Animal Crossing?"

It's quite simple, really: 1) Nintendo likes to make money and 2) everyone who's already bought the games on VC would feel screwed over.

I think it's great. I'll get to sample Ice Climber, Kid Icarus and Kirby's Adventure.

Also: F-Zero or F-Zero X? They're both on the VC, so it'll be interesting to see which (if any) is chosen to rep C. Falcon. I think they should go with X, especially since Melee had stages lifted straight out of that game, but you never know.

Geez, Kotaku was a bit quick to pull the trigger on their 'massive Smash Brothers spoiler' story this morning. Good job guys, good job.

As for the update, it's awesome. So, is this just a set number of demos on the disc, or are more going to be available via DLC in the future? I'd think the later is improbable, but you never know.

Yep. I've purchased VC games of the ones I already have in AC. Nintendo has me by the balls! :lol

I also hope F-Zero X gets the nod in Brawl. That game deserves more praise than it receives! :D

I think the reason these demos are included is because they're for people who have no access to VC (offline players), and thus everyone can enjoy them. Yeah I don't think this has much to do with VC besides being an advertisement for it.

But you also fight Ridley in the first five minutes of Super Metroid. I don't know why they included a save so late in the game, but it's not so you can see Ridley because he's playable...

The most exciting thing for me is what they're gonna be doing about the Japanese only franchises... could this mean that localized versions of FE and Mother 3 are in our future? I can only hope so...

I hope they won't scrap Mother 2 / Fire Emblem from the European version. Though it seems so after they don't even appear on the Dojo website.

I wouldn't count on them localizing Fire Emblem. The title is already being remade for DS (http://serenesforest.net/fe1ds/pre.html). It's more likely the DS remake will be translated into English.

However, I bet they'll put Earthbound on the VC before March 9 and have an Earthbound demo in the game...

So raise your hand if you have the original NES release of Ice Climber...!

*raises hand*

It still works too. I'm probably the only gamer in this thread that has it.

No offense to Sakurai's genius, but SSB needs an endless drove of sequels. It's not as if there's no reason to make sequels to this game.

Believe me, I agree, and that's how I've counted it.
And even then, people had to convince me about Pokemon Trainer, and I only really gave in because it was, after all, basically three characters in the same day.

There weren't very many Melee tracks like that. They had the Pokemon theme and Gourmet Race theme (Fountain of Dreams), and I think the Fire Emblem themes were possibly orchestrated, but that's about it off the top of my head...
