Wii U Virtual Console - News and Releases

All I've ever read is him telling people to eat shit and whatnot.

Maybe it's a gimmick, I don't know. I'm just saying what it seems like from the sidelines.

He asked one person if he eats shit when asked if he read that terrible, borderline libelous Kotaku article about him.
 
He only comes off badly when people ask him stupid shit, stuff that you should really be asking someone else (Mikami, Capcom, Nintendo, etc.) or something that he's answered 10000000000x (check his log).

Decent messages get decent responses.
 
The tweets are just wonderful.

I share his rage.

I demand sharp, crispy pixels.

I agree about NES games having them, but SNES games already look superb on my TV. Why they didn't do the same filtering for both is strange, considering the Wii versions of NES games used the sharper pixels.

I don't really think it's THAT big of a deal though.
 
Zelda II?

So close after Zelda 1?

Must be building up to Wind Waker (probably LTTP soon).

Side note, with GBA emulation (maybe), it'd be sweet to get Link's Awakening, and the Oracle games...be able to play them on a non-handheld would be great.

Fucking finally. I hope ALttp is coming soon...
 
Zelda II is aight, but I was hoping we'd get Super Mario Bros. this week like Europe is. Or better yet, Super Castlevania IV like Japan just got. :(
 
North America will be getting Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on 9/12.

Ironically this is one of like 4 NES carts I can currently find in my house.

Even more ironic is that I can't find the NES. FUCK. (yet have the AC adapter, NES controller, and Max controller... seriously, WTF?)
 
How about the original Contra, Konami. How come that never made it to Wii's VC when all the other Nintendo console Contra's did? Even though it will look blurry if it is played on the Wii U's VC, it is better than not having it at all.
 
Ohh...just one step away from A Link to the Past. :)

We European better get A Link to the Past in 60hz or I going be writing a very angry post on Miiverse.

Your NES is in another castle. ;)
 
His attitude is like the Japanese Phil Fish.

I don't understand why everyone loves him. He seems like an irritable prick.

He doesn't really act too much like Phil Fish, as they come from different places mentally. However, I love both of them, and the hate for them is really overdone. If you don't like them, move on.

Pretty sure the base PAL version is English only (with the game also getting a separate German release, and a French-language release in Canada) so there's no reason it shouldn't be the US ROM that gets put up.
 
Zelda II is perfectly manageable with a restore point if you're smart with how you use it.

Ran through it on 3DS last year and was able to fully enjoy the game (which I do actually like) without the frustration aspect that usually ruins it.

I think it is better and easier to just ignore the stupid posts rather than respond to them.
 
I wonder if we will ever get Yoshi's Island. I have the GBA version by virtue of the ambassador program but it would still be cool.
The tweets are just wonderful.

Did Nintendo give him one or did he buy one? I can't tell from his log.

Also, he had a picture where they were glowing blue. What does that indicate again?

Well its been in the Japanese eShop for some time now, with no words of a western release.

The entire VC release schedule of the Wii U is a weird mess.
 
The optimist in me is hoping Nintendo just needs to get over a hump and work out some tech and then they can just dump games into the VC en masse.

I don't listen to him much any more, though.
 
Yeah, I could get to and die at the hands of Shadow Link when I was a kid, but it took restore points before I could finally kill him on the 3DS version.

Did you know about the screen edge trick? Just crouch at the left edge, stab away and he'll keep on leaping haplessly into your sword. :)

That's not how their process works. They don't have a "mass emulator" that needs a certain upgrade before there's a flood of games. You'd be right not to listen to your inner optimist there.
