Yea, I had to do that after I got my Wii back from Nintendo.TigersFan said:
There's a section where you can just look at the games you downloaded in the past.
I havnt traveld in the realm of VC yet due to lack of good wireless routers.
But thanks to Apple I have a whole new realm to explore ! Mwahahaha
Anyways, I havn't recieved my router yet from them, so I don't really know what they are offering yet. What are the games worth getting to you that is availible on the VC?
There's a big chance that I've played most of the games as a youngin, but that's also a reason I would like to get your recomendations on what games have aged well. And are worth playing again without ruining childhood memories.

Whoa, what? So what's coming out on Monday? Bonanza Bros. Comix Zone, Gain Ground, and Mario Kart 64 are absolutely confirmed, are Contra III and Mario World for sure going up?
It's officially time for Nintendo to test that 'update' button for VC games. LTTP has some sound glitches (sound effects that cut down to almost inaudible levels for a few seconds) that are quite annoying. I'm kind of surprised Nintendo didn't catch this during their testing.
It makes me feel that maybe they weren't planning on releasing it this week, but did because of Sega not being ready with their trio of games.

That's what precedent would indicate for Contra and SMW, at least. According to Sega up until day-of, the 3 Genny games were due to be released, but they didn't start appearing on the server 'til yesterday. LTTP was the only one to show up beforehand.

I'll have to put one together. After Media Create's numbers go up.

Did you ever play the G.I. Joe game? It was one of my favorite NES games. Playing as Snake Eyes was badass and I remember it being pretty great overall.

To make it especially weird, wasn't LTTP a Japanese VC launch game? Either noone here has heard of complaints about problems with that version, or something went funky when they threw in the US version ROM.dyls said:

Would Nintendo really release all those games at once, along with the previously confirmed Mario Kart 64? I just don't find it very likely...

Maybe NOA finally wised up and is flooding the server so as to make accurate predictions impossible.

Leatherface, you have clearly failed in your mission of listing your own wish list. I want you to go home and write this up again, but before that write a 1000-word essay on what you did wrong.
Dave Long said:
It's certainly not a deal-breaker, just an annoyance. The VC has been such a high quality of emulation that it's especially weird that the first game with problems (that I know of) would be one of Nintendo's flagship titles. The funny thing is, I haven't noticed at all since I got the master sword. Maybe I've just gotten used to it.
I really just want to see how quickly Nintendo will be about fixing problems, and this is as good a test as any.
I take it back, the problem is still around. I realized the issue, however, must have to do with how the sound mix, as it only happens as you move farther from the middle of the screen. It's easiest to test in a room where the camera does not pan at all. Stand in the middle are and everything is fine. Move to the outside 20% of the screen and the sound effects which eminate from Link (sword, arrows, etc.) are heavily muted, as if they are panned to a part of the sound mix which does not exist.
Should be an easy fix and, again, a good test of how quickly Nintendo will update these kind of glitches.
edit: tried changing the sound settings on the Wii to Stereo, and then Mono. No help.

Hmm, well the sfx do jump from side to side. I haven't had them cut out yet or even get real quiet, but I haven't been really listening for it either, so I might be missing something.

Dungeon Explorer had the stereo mix problem as well, I believe. I'd go to a certain area of the screen and the sounds would then be kinda...quiet.

I noticed graphical glitches in SimCity that are very commonplace.
One for example was when holding down the A button to move around the city, the screen would be black at the bottom momentarily and didn't load everything correctly.

This showed up for both Europe and Japan.
Emulation glitches? That is pretty seriously disturbing. I thought the whole reason each game had its own custom emulator built in, rather than having a generic SNES emulator or Genesis emulator, was so that they could optimize the performance of each game and get them to run perfectly?
Virtual Console lives or dies by the quality of the emulation of these retro-releases. If Nintendo's half-assing it this early, that's a very worrisome sign.
