And he'd be completely right.
I've tried multiple times to get into Earthbound... I think I just need to be able to play it on a console. Being able to play PSX games on a PSP seems to have a similar effect.

Hell, I'll pm everyone in GAF if they put it on the VC, GBA compilation, SNES re-release Neo-Geo remake or any other possible means of playing it and make sure everyone does.

Just a little note, the "trial period over" screen doesn't mention that the "time limit" has ended, indicating that time limits for NES game are there because some don't have an ending, so I suppose that games like SF64 end when the level ends.

I'll scream it from the rooftops.
Everyone must play Earthbound.

It wasn't bad the first few times through, but after playing it a bit, you realize that all the levels are fundamentally the same. The game is just so repetitive that it gets boring very quickly. The stylus controls were well done and there were some good ideas; namely, the ability to play as other characters with their own unique traits; but the gameplay was still bland overall.

If Sakurai is going to revive anything, it hsould have been Metroid on top of Star Fox.
Metroid's pretty popular, but it needs enough popularity to warrant a new sidescrolling Metroid.

The fog was very annoying.
I mean, patches of it is fine, but when the entire map is literally engulfed by a miasma of fog, it just becomes excessive.

Not at all. They may have chosen to go that route, but even if you totaled up all of the games listed in Snitch's overkill "prediction" post, minus the two GCN titles, they'd easily fit on a Wii disc and take less than 1% of the total disc space. I could crunch the numbers if anyone found that unreasonable.

I would have welcomed button controls myself.
They could have literally recycled the controls for the SNES Star Fox and it would have worked fine.

Not necessarily. They only mentioned time limits for NES game - the "trial period over" screen doesn't mention time at all.

Yep, along with Kid Icarus, Kirby's Adventure etc. My 22 year old NES is still with me and gets use every once in a while. I don't toss out my old games or consoles unless. I just sell them off if I end up with multiples.coreycubed said:
I just hope all this means Earthbound, Fire Emblem and others are coming to the VC soon. Thanks Sakurai.

It's neither lazy nor wasteful. It's simply not worth it to spend any human labor to remove the unused portions because the disc space used isn't material. Avoiding unproductive work is not lazy, it's smart.
What would be wasteful would be spending human labor to go through the roms to eliminate a few MB of space to no significant end.

its strange that some games have a save feature even though there is a timer.....
what will they do about pikmin? maybe there are demos for some of the franchises...

Alright, alright, I'm done. Actually, it is somewhat on-topic since the Star Fox 64 demo is in... I wonder if they'll let us play some of the voice clips in the sound test. >_>

I wonder if they'll let us play some of the voice clips in the sound test. >_>I agree that it would be wasteful if that was their only goal, but there is the question of whether AR hacking could find a way around the time limits to unlock the full games... That has to be a fairly serious concern, especially considering it's Nintendo we're not talking about and they're paranoid over practically everything.TwinIonEngines said:
What im really intrested in are the non-Nintendo masterpiece games showing up. Which Sonic will they toss in? What Metal Gear game would they use? Seriously, excluding non-Nintendo characters from the Masterpiece section would be pretty lame.
That being said, i'm looking forward to playing Earthbound again, even if it is just a short demo...and it better be in the NA version.

Yeah because Nintendo didn't put NES games in Animal Crossing or Metroid in Metroid Prime or Metroid Zero Mission, or release the Zelda Master Quest / Collector's Edition.Minsc said:Yea, I'm not too crazy about the slowdown myself, but perhaps WiiWare will pick up some of the slack. Anyway, something like this (overplayed) layout is the first thing that comes to mind:
Demo's out in Japan soon right?
Yep, Sakurai does what Nintendon't.

People expecting Superstar or Fire Emblem I/III are deluding themselves when both games have DS remakes coming.
Well, not to be too nitpicky, but "Nintendon't" is present-tense. Yes, they put NES games in Animal Crossing over six years ago, gave away Metroid over five years ago, and had a very nice preorder bonus for wind Waker over four years ago. But right now they're definitely not promoting VC, and haven't been since Wii was released, while Sakurai is doing that. >_>MisterHero said:
That might be all the more reason to put demos in Brawl: not to promote their VC releases, but perhaps their DS releases... Especially if Nintendo makes more on DS games anyway.ShockingAlberto said:
Only three, I think. Don't quote me on this one.Sciz said:

I could see them having demos on the Brawl disc with notes that they don't coincide to VC releases. I just don't think anyone should expect actual VC releases.Jiggy37 said:

It's still not a huge deal.Jiggy37 said:
VC is nothing to Wii owners who don't play Online anyways. This is so anyone, including Offline users, who plays Brawl knows where the characters come from.
It's nice, but damn.
I used to say that I expected Kirby Super Star on VC in like 2010 or 2011, when even people who got it on DS might be willing to buy it all over again. But then I thought about it some more and now I'm thinking that maybe the reason it's getting a DS remake in the first place is that Nintendo couldn't figure out how to get it supported (or at least not supported in a way that would be financially sensible) because of the special chip it used, but wanted to re-release it in some fashion.
If more users would get online, Nintendo could make more money, WiiWare would probably see better returns for developers, and Brawl might sell better--which for us would mean more people making and uploading stages, potentially a bigger competitive scene for Brawl, or even a bigger non-competitive scene (which I know many people here would love)...
So maybe I'm just clinging to scraps of hope, as well as showering too much praise on Sakurai and this feature, but even so, I still think that Brawl has potential to bring more Wii owners into an online setting, that it can promote VC, and that it can help sell newer gamers on these older classic games that deserve more exposure anyway. I'm just saying, I don't see a way Nintendo (or gamers as a whole) could have lost if they'd implemented this trial demo idea long before Sakurai did it first.
Well, that's kind of what I see as the problem. >_> VC could practically sell itself, if Nintendo would just let people know it existed... The NES Classics line performed very nicely and was probably more supported, yet here's a service that offers cheaper games, has support for more systems, has support for better systems with larger libraries... It should be a powerful incentive for Wii owners who aren't online to want to find a way to get online, but instead most people kind of ignore it or don't even know it's out there. And that's unfortunate, to me.MisterHero said:

It's awesome, Sakurai had everything planned before he even started working on it. The taunts with the D-Pad the stage builder. Things that usually get added during development were already planned out by him before they even started. Sakurai might be the best game producer/director on the planet.MisterHero said:
The content of this game is just amazing and we have only seen small parts from the storymode which was written by the scenario writer of Final Fantasy VII. Sakurai put alot of effort into this game.
