Support NeoGAF

[JaseMath]

God damn it, where's the update?! I have the day off for once!

 

[EvilMario]

If this update doesn't come and/or doesn't interest me, it's probably time for Pokemon Snap.

 

[Capndrake]

Finally remembered: The last time this happened, the US got Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super C and Breath of Fire II (And I think the PR didn't show up until like the next day).

 

[Shard]

What a way to celebrate 380 pages.

 

[Crushed]

What a way to celebrate 190 pages.

What's so special about 190?

Ooh. Precedent for the win!

Spoiler

Earthbound! Come to me! I want to play you again and my SNES' RF adaptor is broken!

 

[Shard]

What's so special about 190?

Nothing, I am just bored with the waiting.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

2 more minutes!

Spoiler

Smash 64 smash 64 smash 64 PLEASE!

 

[cvxfreak]

This update better be good. It's 2AM where I live (although I'm up because it's spring break, which inevitably leads to a screwed up sleeping cycle).

EDIT: #19000 hurray!

 

[Iam Canadian]

2 more minutes!

Spoiler

Smash 64 smash 64 smash 64 PLEASE!

I still don't see what the point of that would be with Brawl coming up in less than a week.

 

[TJ Spyke]

Maybe the PR writer-guy called in sick today?

PR's are usually written Fridays.

Others have mentioned that this has happened before, but is still annoying.

The game (s) should be up now or soon, it's now 12PM.

 

[Cheesemeister]

So, nothing?

 

[maynerd]

It's 9am PST. You better have something up!

 

[schuelma]

I see Super Turrican

 

[EvilMario]

Super Turrican @_@

edit: Beaten

Shh...Nintendo has ears everywhere!

 

[JSnake]

JUST SUPER TURRICAN

 

[crowphoenix]

Checking?

JUST SUPER TURRICAN

It's like a part of me has died.

 

[cvxfreak]

:lol

Off to the convenience store for a post-midnight snack.

 

[SnakeXs]

My Wii reads 12:01 PM.

I check the Wii Buy Shit Channel.

I see nothing.

WAIT, I LIED. New shit.

Says Catalog Updated March 3.

THAT'S TODAY!!

And... 1 game.

Super Turrican.

 

[MoxManiac]

What the fuck? Why no RCR as well?

Nintendo sucks at VC.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

SUPER TURRICAN!

THATS IT!

NINTENDOooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS MY SMASH??????????????????????????????????

 

[schuelma]

Really surprised SSB isn't up. Can't imagine it will do much after Brawl is released.

 

[Brandon F]

No SSB64? Nintendo fails big time.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Just Super Turrican?

...

Eh. I'll take it. I wanted to try it anyway.

Spoiler

I'll get you next time, Earthbound! Next time!

 

[brandonh83]

I can smell something burning.

 

[angelfly]

Damn all that waiting and suspense for nothing.

 

[Capndrake]

Heyhey, Super Turrican is awesome.

Spoiler

More awesome than SSB. Ooooh yeah.

EDIT: Shameless video plug!

 

[Shard]

Tis' a dark day for the North American Virtual Console forces.

 

[crowphoenix]

Just Super Turrican?

...

Eh. I'll take it. I wanted to try it anyway.

Spoiler

I'll get you next time, Earthbound! Next time!

I think I remember it being fun.

 

[SnakeXs]

Damn all that waiting and suspense for nothing.

Did you expect anything else? NeoGAF + Nintendo, man.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Heyhey, Super Turrican is awesome.

Spoiler

More awesome than SSB. Ooooh yeah.

Well, there's certainly no denying that the original Smash Bros. is almost painfully obsolete by this point.

 

[Crushed]

Factor 5 had to add in the new motion controls.

 

[MoxManiac]

Next week will probably suck pretty bad too since they want all attention on brawl.

 

[Iam Canadian]

I think I remember it being fun.

Well, it looks like a Mega Man game and I love Mega Man games more than you can possibly fathom.

From what I've heard, the music is pretty good, too.

 

[EphemeralDream]

It's only about a year late.

 

[Brandon F]

Has there ever been a midweek release of a VC game ever? Possible Smash spectacular on Thursday?

 

[levious]

I think the only non-Monday release day was launch day in the US, not sure though.

 

[Grecco]

Lol no Smash? Wow.

 

[Shard]

No, Never.

 

[jmoe316]

Has there ever been a midweek release of a VC game ever? Possible Smash spectacular on Thursday?

Never, always Mondays IIRC.

 

[Iam Canadian]

It's only about a year late.

How long have we been waiting on Vectorman? Not that Vectorman is really that special, but still.

Next week will probably suck pretty bad too since they want all attention on brawl.

I don't know. I'm starting to gain some hope that we might see Earthbound next week.

First, the Smash Bros. Dojo confirmed (on the Japanese site) that Earthbound is a Masterpiece in Brawl. For the uninitiated, that means that a short playable demo is in the game.

The other Masterpieces in Brawl that were revealed in that same Dojo update are already on the Virtual Console.

Assuming that Earthbound is also a Masterpiece in the North American version, then Earthbound is the only Masterpiece that we know of (aside from the Japanese-only Fire Emblem games) that's not on the VC.

Therefore, Earthbound next week.

BELIEVE.

 

[TJ Spyke]

Tis' a dark day for the North American Virtual Console forces.

Not the worst week the VC had. Much better than the week we only got Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire. Even better than the week we got Baseball and Urban Champion.

jmoe, not true. The Tuesday after the Wii was released we got the first TurboGrafx-16 games (Bonk's Adventure and Bomberman '93). We also got 2 games on November 28, 2006 (a Tuesday): Ecco the Dolphin and Golden Axe. Since then all the updates have been on a Monday though.

 

[EphemeralDream]

Is the PR up on the Shop Channel? They've added games later in the same day (DKC for example). If the PR is up though, it's pretty much finalized.

 

[Ranger X]

Guys common. You can play a NEW Smash Bros today what's the problem?

There. there. *tap tap on shoulder*

Yes the PR has been on the WiiShop since 11:00CST

:\

 

[Crushed]

A bunch of the first Genesis and Turbographx games were released on days like Sunday and Tuesday.

But that's because the VC was just starting.

 

[Iam Canadian]

If this is the case, then there may still be hope for River City Ransom. Remember, the GameFAQs guy said that both Super Turrican and River City Ransom were coming this week.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Games you want but will never see on VC:

Dr. Mario
Earthbound
Goldeneye 007
Super Smash Bros.

The sooner you get over it and just buy the original cart, the better off you'll be.

No we can't.
