We got three games this week, you do have a European Wii right?ksamedi said:Whats up Nintendo, 1 fucking game? Why did they even sign on the commadore then? Still a great update thoughI'm downloading this when I get time to play it.
As for 2 player in Double Dragon, I believe they're referring to the VS. mode.

Aye, that's right.Capndrake said:
It's hard to go a week without impatiently waiting for VC updates. Even with the constant abuse I keep coming back for more.
I actually had some fun with Double Dragon back in the day, but never bought it, and don't really plan to now.
But hey, I'm not complaining, after all it's a double. It might as well be two games!
Maybe they were afraid this week's release would be overshadowed by Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto. Yes, that must be it. I'm not rationalizing at all. >.>

Whoever wrote that has GOT to be just reading this thread and fucking with us now.
noa 
At least they could have given us a good version of DD.
The gaming press really needs to expose this bullshit and force Reggie to answer for the NOA sucking so hard on the VC.
I can't wait until awesome Wiiware games are anounced and we get them 9 months after everyone else.

I'm not sure I "get" the Virtual Console tomfoolery as of late. There really doesn't seem to be any reason for NOA to seemingly limit the number of VC releases, but we're getting very few games. Have we ever heard anything as to why we're getting so few? Is it an issue with NOA, the U.S. branches of 3rd party publishers, or ....?
I mean, it's not like Japan is seeing a cutback, so it can't be NCL.
NOA, WHAT THE HELL? ONE GAME? I'M USUALLY A SOFT SPOKEN EASY GOING GUY, BUT FUCK!!! In the past I've downloaded about 90 VC games for myself plus given about a dozen gifts, but lately the VC has nearly dried up. Does NOA hate money or what? /rantJSnake said:

Also spotted Picross NP vol. 1-4.
"Oh no Nintendo!!
What am I supposed to do on Monday now??!?!?! :O!!!!
At least if you released a well known game on Sunday, I wouldn't be complaining about not playing an at least 10 years old game that I probably already played before, this Monday!!!
But now, Monday is ruined..because I only got new game on the Virtual Console..that I wasn't going to download anyway!!!
F*** you Lametendo!!"

Noo!!
Worst VC week EVER!!!!
Are you that upset that you got taken for a ride with Super Mario Kart: Now With a Plastic Wheel? I can't say I blame you... I'd be pretty annoyed if I were suckered that thoroughly, too. Still, why not toddle back over to the thread for that game where you can reminisce with the other folks who've managed to convince themselves that they're actually having fun playing that instead of better, if older, games? This is still, alas, the thread for the Virtual Console.
fernoca said:
Yup! And as soon as it stops sucking, people will stop saying how it's sucking.
I know this has to be a horrible imposition for you and your all of 9 posts in this thread. It's so rude of people like SonicMegaDrive (300 posts) or Jiggy (680 posts) or IamCanadian (545 poor username posts) to express such highly offensive opinions.

Hey there, Mr. Strawman. Dorothy's over there. Enjoy your visit to Oz.
Wait..what?LinkAMN said:
I'm not a fan of the VC?
Having 16 games, and like 15 more on backlog because I'm saving Wii Points for WiiWare..and still not a fan of the Virtual Console?
What do I need to do, to be a fan of Virtual Console? Complain on this thread..EVERY WEEK that the games I wanted were not released that week??
Yeah, well let's see..
Where's Kirby Super Star, Nintendo?
Where's Super Mario RPG, Nintendo?
Where's Chrono Trigger, Nintendo?
Where's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters, Nintendo?
Where's Yoshi's Island, Nintendo?
Where's Killer Instinct, Nintendo?
Where's Super Mario All-Stars, Nintendo?
Where's Mortal Kombat, Nintendo?
Where's Mortal Kombat II, Nintendo?
Where's Mortal Kombat 3, Nintendo?
Am I a fan now?
Heck I'm like 1 out of the 3 people around here, that actually "cleans his fridge" ..and that gets slammed when I recommend others to "clean theirs"..

I'm sure I saw Uridium and International Karate on there... they've taken them down.
BTW Double Dragon NES isn't too bad a game. It has a leveling system where there are more moves to perform as you progress through the game. There are only four levels but the levels are reasonbly long and the difficulty gets fairly steep.

I'm in the extreme minority here, but.... BEST ONE-GAME WEEK EVER!!!
Hey, what can I say? I have fond childhood memories of Double Dragon. Yes, the NES version. It's my favorite NES game ever. I didn't say it was the best, just my favorite.
Yeah, regardless, I do realize that one-game weeks are utter shit. I wish Nintendo would spread the love a bit more.

maybe sega will Release the SMS Double Dragon on Virtual Cosnole. I saw that Sega Release the SMS Wonder Boy on the Virtual Cosnole.
DavidDayton said:
I'm really starting to think it's NoA. Looking at Japan's May list, they've got 16 games scheduled (assuming the MSX games finally make it out), which averages to 4 games a week. Europe has always gotten slow releases, but at least they seem to be getting biweekly C64 releases now. Over here, we're getting a slow trickle. And as has been said many times before, it's not like there aren't enough games out there. Plenty of stuff is already on the Japanese and Euro VCs. Seriously, where the hell are Vectorman, ESWAT, and Crack Down? Mega Man is still mysteriously absent from everywhere but Europe. And now we hear this stuff about Bionic Commando being blocked?
It's nice to see US publishers like Aksys and Interplay making headway, and the Sega Master System adds some new options for releases, but regardless of the increased sources for releases, the games are still coming slowly.

It was in response to Sven's comment about Capcom not being behind the lack of BC (and it being Nintendo rather). I was expecting a shitstorm about Nintendo "going back to their old ways, blah, blah" although I imagine there's more to it than Nintendo not releasing the game because it's too good or something (there's been better anyway). Either way Nintendo f'ed up pretty bad with the 1 game week so looks like I was at least half-right.Cheesemeister said:
Well, outside of major forums like this does anyone really care about the VC Press release every week? Probably not until the situation starts to noticeably improve. On the other hand, maybe Nintendo is just trying to save us from ourselves; if they stop releasing lots of games worth downloading, there won't be any need for a hard-drive!Kobun Heat said::lol :lol :lol

...can't wait until May 12th so that we can start getting our one Wiiware game a week on top of the one VC game a week. :0\

Sweet, we're not restricted to bitching about VC only here now?
Damn you Mario Kart!
Damn you waggle!
*cries*
I can't wait for the Wiiware thread.
I'm almost scared to go into the PSN or XBLA threads, surely with the nothing they get each week compared to VC and Wiiware getting nothing (or games every week rather) it would be fucking constant meltdown city of complaints every post in those ones.
Right?

Right?
1) I think my revised ratings scale would deem this week to be a -6.
2) Paging Dragona. Dragona, please fix the immensely biased thread title. It literally paints the Virtual Console picture in a 100% more positive light than it deserves.
3) I really can't wait to see Hudson update their TG16 release list for the upcoming month. With Final Soldier, Ys Book I & II, Dragon Slayer, and Star Parodier all being potential candidates for release, Hudson alone could go a long way toward at least somewhat fixing VC for the month of May. (And, for that matter, with Star Soldier R, Bomberman, Alien Crush, and Tetris being prepped on the WiiWare side [not all of them for May, obviously]--well, come on and jump in, guys. Blitz Nintendo's digital distribution service.) It won't happen, of course, but hope somehow springs eternal.
4)
5)
Kirby Super Star is being re-released on DS, possibly with upgrades. Nintendo has an excuse for not putting it up. (That said, if it's not up on VC within two years of the DS release, that would be cause for concern.)
Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger were developed by Square, a rather notoriously greedy company who would likely fight tooth and nail to avoid ever having one of its moderately-popular games priced under $20. (Just witness what they've done with My Life As a King.) Nintendo has an excuse for not being able to negotiate for these.
Any TMNT game is a licensed title probably mired in rights issues. Konami has an excuse for not putting it up.
Killer Instinct is a Rare game that, unlike the Donkey Kong Country series, wasn't developed using a pre-existing Nintendo IP. Rare is owned by Microsoft now. Nintendo has an excuse for not putting it up.
The individual games from Super Mario All-Stars are already available. You'd have to pay $21 instead of $8 for all of them, and use up more blocks than the single SMAS cartridge would, but they're already available.
Yoshi's Island, which would be a more legitimate complaint if someone made it seriously, used a special chip and perhaps there are issues getting the emulation working. Besides that, it was released on GBA with extra levels, and that same release got a second print run for $20 in 2006. I want it available and I think Nintendo should be able to handle their own emulation, but it's not my greatest concern.
Maybe some people perpetually complain about the lack of the above games, or similar games with similar issues: being a licensed property, being owned by Square-Enix, and so on. I'm not one of them, and neither are several of the people who criticize VC every week. Here are some examples of games that the most ardent proponents of the service really complain about not having:
-Shining Force II and Ys Book I & II. Why? They were rated by the ESRB in fall last year and they're being handled by companies who have been enormously supportive of VC so far, but despite this they have yet to show.
-Earthbound. Why? It's a Nintendo first-party title and there was nothing especially complex about the cartridge that would cause issues with emulating it. Moreover, a certain game that sold 2.9 million copies in North America in its first month featured Ness, Onett, Mr. Saturn, Jeff, Pokey, and the Franklin Badge. If ever there was a time to strike while the iron is hot, now would be it.
-Mega Man, Mega Man 2, and Vectorman. Why? They're already available in Europe and have been for months, meaning that the emulation is working, and the developers have been supportive of VC. There's no reasonable obstacle to having these games up. Despite this, there's no sign of these games showing up in North America.
-Pulseman. Why? It's available in Japan and, unlike such games as Monster World IV that would at least need a translation effort (and consequently are usually brought up in the contexts of wishlists for VC rather than criticisms of VC), it fits into a genre where nobody needs to know what the text says.
I'm not that harsh a person; I don't even need VC to stop sucking in order to stop complaining. What I need it to do is stop squandering potential.
Look: in a hypothetical world where VC stopped getting releases after the last of the ESRB-rated titles cleared out, I wouldn't be complaining after that date. "Zero games a week? Boo." No, you'd never read that on your monitor--at least not from me. If it never saw the release of games like Gargoyle's Quest II, Golvellius, Coryoon, Crusader of Centy, Sengoku 3, Space Megaforce, Goemon's Great Adventure, and most of the other ~78 games I'd be willing to pay for, then oh well. It's not like I ever had the vaguest of hints that they would eventually be coming, and the idea of a service not fulfilling obligations it never committed to is no skin off my back. I'd ring a bell for the early death of VC and that would be that.
But shoving the service halfway into a casket right now, when it has all sorts of life left in it, is a phenomenal mistake, and that's what people are going after. Even putting aside RPGs and other text-heavy games that never stood a chance of showing up outside Japan, there are throngs of games released in one region and not the others. There's no defense for North America not having Mario's Super Picross, or for Europe not having DoReMi Fantasy, or for NA not having the aforementioned trio of Mega Man, Mega Man 2, and Vectorman. Not to say that I'd necessarily buy these games, but the point is that there's simply no excuse for the one-game weeks at this point. Even a title that I'd never go near in a million years like Skate or Die should be available in all regions.
Incidentally, Nintendo appears to be enjoying all of this critical attention anyway, seeing how they fall just short of literally provoking yet more complaints. They've been pushing the issue with press releases that come across as marvelously-sixth-rate trolling, ranging from tonight's "lol it's one game but it begins with the word 'double'" garbage to March's nonsensical line about the month "roaring in like a lion." A triply poignant simile, considering that it was delivered during the single-game week of Super Turrican (and I like Super Turrican very much, mind you) and then immediately followed up with a vain attempt to argue that gamers haven't dipped enough into the back catalog of VC games and should go review what they've missed. If they had brought that line out in defense of the Gamecube droughts, people would have been up in arms, so--hey! Lucky for them that they only pulled it against the smaller digital distribution crowd, with its lesser number of serious devotees and defenders. I'll give back what I get, though.
In any case, I'd love it if someone could convince me I'm wrong and prove that releasing just a single title was the only possible outcome Nintendo could have managed for April 28th, 2008. I'd have a lot less to be up in arms about if this was a literal inevitability, you see. But that's not looking too likely considering how many times people have put forward this same argument and how, despite checking the thread every day--usually at least twice a day!--I've not ever seen a dissenter who didn't fail to offer a decent counter from the opposing point of view. A priori, a posteriori, you know: whatever works. If someone has a defense more substantial than "lawl stop complaining" or "IMO, personally, I, for one, don't personally really mind, really, IMO," then toss it up for consideration. I'm all ears. But until that time, I'll persist.

I've bought about twenty more VC games than I've ever owned physical cartridges or discs for a system, but that's not a decent excuse for the current state of VC. I could be buying even more games if they were made available.JoshuaJSlone said:

You just don't get it.

When I get a 360, I won't be complaining about XBLA releases unless, just like Virtual Console, games are rated and appear ready for release but proceed not to show for nine months. If Microsoft is unable to convince people to sign on to put up more classic titles (albeit with minor additions, e.g. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or Streets of Rage 2), that sucks, but criticism wouldn't even stand the vaguest of chances at changing the status quo.Conrad Link said:
And if Nintendo was unable to convince people to sign on to put up more classic titles, I wouldn't go after them for that either. That's not the problem. The problem is that--as far as I can tell from actually looking at how the progression of VC and the growth of its library has worked across all three regions--Nintendo is perfectly capable of convincing other developers and publishers to put up games, but even after those developers and publishers have been sold on the idea of the service, Nintendo winds up preventing their releases from happening in as a timely or internationally a manner as they could be. That's highly counterintuitive, and more importantly highly counterproductive.

I'm starting to believe that this is Nintendo's response to Capcom shafting them with the BC remakes. Why let Capcom get free money from VC rom dumps while they are giving the competitors the remakes and not you?
If that's the case then I firmly stand by Nintendo.
I should also point out that Capcom has ZERO games in development for Wiiware. ZERO. And there hasn't been a Capcom VC game since January.

What reason do Nintendo have for NOT releasing a game though, thats what I don't understand.
Are they seriously just sitting there thinking, hmm Shining Force II is a sweet game... HAHAHA LETS NOT RELEASE IT!
Are they just pressing random buttons and whatever pops up is the game thats released that week? Thats what it seems like.
Anything that was rated ages ago and has not shown up must... there must be a reason other than Nintendo are being bitches about it, we hear nothing from them again and new announcements pop up (DD, RCR etc) then a week later they hit.
They don't want people to fill up their Wii's with great games every week leading up to Wiiware or they just more interested in Mario Kart's release and figure the VC will still be going the next week so one decent game this week is ok??
I doubt there will ever be answers to these questions.
Surely if Capcom wanted Mega Man to be released on the US store they could ring Nintendo up and say oi, hurry up and release it cause its just sitting there not making us money - the 3rd party has to have some say right? Maybe they make deals to give the lesser games more of a spotlight instead of being ignored against huge Nintendo releases? *shrugs* I wouldn't want to have to sort all that shit out, makes the 2 games a month on XBLA thing look easy to organise.
In saying that I know even if they had a catch up week and released 3 games that had been rated awhile go we'd still have people coming in and saying "FUCK YOU NINTENDO hurry up and release Halo and Chrono Trigger already!! USELESS VC!!!"

Maybe, maybe the big companies who are making XBLA/PSN junk and less interested in WiiWare development are getting a little cold shoulder treatment from Nintendo as far as the free money VC goes.
Wouldn't be the first time Nintendo have said make us a GameCube game if you want to make GBA games... bitch.
