[Link648099]

[blahness]

[Alex]

VC Games; good!

Wii Games; bad!

 

[Timan]

Hmm no Super Mario World (snes)

And NO MARIO PAINT? tsk tsk tsk....

 

[Rlan]

There was a SNES Wario Woods, why use the NES version?

I'll buy Bonk since I've never played it.

 

[argon]

Why do I get the feeling I won't be playing Zelda: Majora's Mask on the Wii for a very, very long time?

 

[arab]

THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE LIST, ONLY WHAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO BE TRUE AS OF TODAY.

DERKA.

Had to be reiterated.
I need my LTTP fix :[

 

[Defcon]

That list of Wii games makes me want to vomit.

 

[Hellraizah]

Gun-****ing-Star Heroes

Wii, best console ever status : Confirmed.

 

[john tv]

Bomberman 94 is about 100,000 times better than Bomberman 93. Bad choice!

Also, I -love- Solomon's Key, but why is the only third party NES game a little known action-puzzler from Tecmo?

 

[JohnTinker]

I'll be getting SimCity for sure.

Doubt I'll be getting any other VC games from that list.

 

[Busaiku]

So NA is actually getting Pangya this year?
Yay for Gunstar Heroes, Ecco The Dolphin, Toe Jam & Earl, Sim City, F-Zero, and Tennis!

 

[Tadaima]

There was a SNES Wario Woods, why use the NES version?

Step 1: Release original version
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

[Community Forum]

Haha can't believe that list doesn't have Zelda on it.

 

[The Main Event]

Gun-****ing-Star Heroes

Wii, best console ever status : Confirmed.

You get my stamp of approval.

 

[Beezy]

So Zelda has been delayed?

Ra-ra?

 

[Oblivion]

Super Mario World?

 

[thefro]

Where's the link for this? Don't see it up on IGN.

 

[GitarooMan]

I hope there are more N64 games soon. Gotta love F-Zero and SimCity though.

 

[Rat Salad]

So whats it gonna take for a console to release R.B.I. Baseball with online play?
360 hasn't done it,the Wii might...please don't make me buy a PS3 for this.

Errr
wait a minute,Take Two holds the MLB player and league license now,no?

Forget it then.
Stupid exclusive bullshit.

 

[Danthrax]

The launch window list lacks first-party offerings.

Nice to see the "confirmed as of now" VC list, though.

 

[Mmmkay]

Where's the link for this? Don't see it up on IGN.

[slaughterking]

Trauma Center, Super Monkey Ball, Red Steel, RRR, Metal Slug will be mine. Plus the not included Nintendo games Zelda, Excite Truck and Wario Ware.


For the VC title...dunno, probably Ecco and Gunstar Heroes, since I never played the original games.

 

[shuri]

First Gen nes stuff

 

[Defcon]

Oh. Super Swing Golf is Pangya? That's great news if it's releasing here by the end of the year. Best golf game ever.

 

[Chris Remo]

Haha can't believe that list doesn't have Zelda on it.

It doesn't include first party titles, and also isn't a complete list. It's copied (without all of the context) from a Nintendo press release sent out a few minutes ago.

 

[Hellraizah]

Seriously, Metal Slug Anthology with Gunstar Heroes on VC makes this a dream console from the get go for schmups fans.

Now all we need is :

Annoncement for Neo Geo games on VC
The Contra legacy in all its glory on VC or compilation (Contra 3, Hard Corps, etc.)

This could be the end it all console for me.

 

[EternalDarko]

Why do I get the feeling I won't be playing Zelda: Majora's Mask on the Wii for a very, very long time?

It's called The Legend Of Zelda Collector's Edition [Gamecube] it's been out for years on a limited release, though you'll find it on ebay for sure.

 

[Shard]

The Super NES/Nintendo 64 lists look rather sparse thus far.

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

blahblahblah R.B.I. Baseball with online play blahblahblah

Did it get tighter in here or is it just my pants?

 

[Rat Salad]

Are these games going to be touched up in any way? Sorta like what they've done to Time Pilot and Dig Dug on XBox Live?

How much are these games going to cost? Keep it under control Nintendo.:/

 

[Vargas]

Reggie promised us that Super Mario World would be available at launch god dammit.

 

[Speevy]

It's like the first 6 months of the N64 all over again.


Seriously though, great list. They've matched XBLA in one month, just like I said.

 

[Oblivion]

It doesn't include first party titles.

Super Mario 64 and F-Zero aren't first party titles?

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

I'm not excited for a single one of the VC games.

 

[deamentia]

Here you go.

[Chris Remo]

Super Mario 64 and F-Zero aren't first party titles?

It doesn't include first party retail releases. My deepest apologies.

 

[Rat Salad]

Did it get tighter in here or is it just my pants?

Another R.B.I. fan.
Those were the days.
Kevin Mitchel trying to hit that nasty Dennis Eckersley fastball...:lol
Those were damn good times when friends were over talking smack,tournaments were always intense.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

are any of these games playable over the internet? does wii have broadband built in? is there some type of online service nintendo is offering? haven't kept up with wii, sorry fellas!

 

[Speevy]

The Wii has FAR too little space to hold all these games.

Does its 1 GB memory card/unit store these games?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

The Wii has FAR too little space to hold all these games.

Does its 1 GB memory card/unit store these games?

Most def can store all those games + a lot more in the 1gb

 

[Firestorm]

I was hoping for Super Metroid or Chrono Trigger soon. Oh well, not like I'd have spent my time with VC games this year anyway. I need to play Wii games first! Zelda is calling

 

[Speevy]

are any of these games playable over the internet?

Probably not. That would require a substantial amount of development time.

does wii have broadband built in?

You have to buy an adapter for standard ethernet setups. The system is made for WiFi.

is there some type of online service nintendo is offering? haven't kept up with wii, sorry fellas!

Wiiconnect 24, lets you play online and download this stuff.

 

[CarlosX360]

Pinball! Ice Hockey!

 

[thefro]

Awesome Genesis lineup for launch window.

Decent number of games beyond that, but lots of medicore early-gen NES stuff. A few of those games still rock hard (Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr./Ice Hockey) and Zelda is as good as ever. Only 2 SNES games but good picks to round out the genres of what is offered. Some rarer TG-16 stuff but a Bonk and one of the best Bomberman games is a good start.

 

[EMBee99]

Where's my Tecmo Super Bowl with updated rosters and online play (Tecmo version, not hacked ROM version)?

Ahhhhh well, Gunstar Heroes and Zelda will hold me for a bit....but I am not a patient man.
