Cosmozone said:Read post #28 . Being from Europe, my hopes are up.I haven't followed all MSX games, but I can say there are English versions for at least: Knightmare, Twin Bee, Gradius/Nemesis 1+2+3, Salamander, Penguin Adventure, Eggerland Mystery, Metal Gear, Maze of Galious, Treasure of Usas and Vampire Killer (aka Castlevania). And there were also a bunch of western games for the system, Elite being among them.
Don't forget King's Valley 2, but yeah, those are awesome. The MSX was most succesful in Japan, South Korea, The Netherlands (yay!), Spain and Brazil. There's really no reason why they can't bring the Konami roms to Europe, at least. They need no translation and are instacash. Heck, I'd buy 'em all.
Bolded my personal faves. Salamander MSX (with full co-op) >>> Life Force NES (both have the Gradius weapon system btw). Eggerland = Lolo. Penguin Adventure is Kojima's First Game Ever, and rocks.
Elite was a disk-game (in fact, actually, I believe we had it on cassete
). I think they'll limit themselves to the rom-cartridges.andthebeatgoeson

What was that about slow VC releases. That's just March. If they ramp this shit up, it'll be 50 bucks a month on VC games. It's so tempting to just splurge, if they make it too many releases, we'll be complaining about how much we are spending.Cheesemeister said:

Quite a lot, most of Konami's games, HAL has some, Compile's MSX1 games (Aleste was not released in EU, iirc) and the large amounts of western devs (Philips, Gremlin, Activision, etc).

Great news, because I haven't play a single Neo-geo game. The Virtual Console will compense that.

This is the best news concerning the VC so far. I have to say, getting games from systems that were widely available in the US wasn't such a huge incentive for me but seeing the NG and the MSX gives me dick-ripping-out-of-pants action. Confirmed.

What are some good neo-Geo games that should I download for the VC ?
Yes. Or more correctly, it was pretty standard and SID was worse. But that suddenly reminds me, that newer Konami modules had an improved sound chip integrated. I'm worried that it (and the games that use it) might not be supported by the VC, at least not so soon.Mantrid said:

Most games he mentioned were RPGs never released outside Japan. The other games are nice, but those RPGs are what we want
Cosmozone said:
That was the SCC-chip, none of the announced games use SCC (only the later Konami-games did, like MGS2, SD Snatcher, Space Manbow, Nemesis 3(2?))

All Nintendo needs to do is make their online stuff a little cleaner (like a library channel where all my VC games aren't on the main menu), and put their online up, and they're ****ing GOLDEN.
So what do we have coming at us?
1. NES
2. SNES
3. N64
4. Genesis
5. Neo-Geo
6. MSX
7 Forgot the name of the last one
Draughts?... Never...

And then there's the FM PAC in the 2+ and as cardridge add-on.
Both the PSG (MSX internal chip) and the FM PAC are similar to the Atari ST's internal soundchip and external sound chip add-on.
That's right, only two games have been announced so far, though. Nemesis 2 was the first to use SCC, and this is the game *I* want. And I bet MGS2 should have better sound than the SCC, maybe you meant Metal Gear 2.PowerRun said:
However, Nemesis 2 was out way earlier than MG2, I wouldn't call it a later game.Pureauthor

The lack of pants discussion in this thread is disturbing.
At this point, though, it really has to be said that NoA needs to get on the ball. While I think US Virtual Console has built up a solid library of games, it's still shameful how much it's lagging behind what's available in Japan right now. And as the Japanese VC is now adding more and more games in addition to new systems... NoA needs to step it up. A lot.

If I never see the SNK stuff with online gameplay on one of these services I'll be pissed.
XBLA? VC? PN? I don't care. Make it happen.

I played it for the first time on the Genesis Collection a few months ago. Such quality.

VF2 Geneis? Come on now.
Implement 32X emulation with VF1. Then we'll talk.

That is also my (and others') hope. Deleting and redownloading games is not going to be a practical thing to do, given the NeoGeo cart sizes.
They (Nintendo) should also put all your games into a single channel (vc channel?) and let you browse your entire collection from there.
Hmm, I think a lot of you are jumping the gun here.
Can many of the of the later Neo Geo games even be emulated on the Wii.
I mean the PS2 can't even do direct ports correctly (while most of them were sloppy, do you really think they'll put more effort on a download service?). I mean sure the Wii is more powerful than the PS2 but then again you need a machine a lot more powerful to emulate correctly (As in the dreamcast can't even handle the snes correctly)
For those who don't know, Neo Geo games range from looking like early snes games (Fatal
Fury, Ninja Combat, King of Monsters) to early PS2 games (MOTW, King of Fighters 01)
I can imagine the Wii handleing the earlier games pretty easy but for the later games, I'm not so sure. Plus I hear KOF 98 and 2001 is still making some major cash in the arcades.
Great news on Acraiser though, finally an S-E is announced, hopefully more to come.

Come on, you can't compare the spare-time efforts of 1 or 2 hobby emulator writers with a professional project that has full knowledge of the respective hardware. It will be fine. Hell, from appearances, Metal Slug Anthology is basically just an emulator with roms, and it runs flawlessly on Wii.

They considered doing that but felt that each purchase felt more "substantial" if it had its own channel you could see from the main menu.
