Official bitching about Hudson abandoning VC support. [VC/WiiWare = lost cause]

If Nintendo would let me connect their console to the internet via a USB / Ethernet cable, I'd probably get it for Wii just because the controller's kind of almost like a NES one. So I guess I'll be getting the Xbox version instead, even if I have to deal with Dpad issues.

I'm not going to lie. A major factor for me is because if i get the wii version over the PSN version that means i can play it tommorrow and not thursday. Plus I really love the wiimote sideways for NES(ish) games.

They do sell an LAN adapter. Wii USB to LAN. I got mine for $20 at Best Buy but you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere if you look.

Main two reasons are: early release, Classic Controller. I tried playing MM1\2 with the Wiimote but the dpad is horrible --it's smaller than the CC. Well maybe it's just me.

I'm getting the 360 version also, and I'd like to get the PS3 version but recently Sony blocked entropay.com so I can't.

Edit: your list is amazing, Jiggy. I bookmarked it in case I'm looking for any VC game after MM9 :D

Don't own a 360 yet. Even if I did, Wii is getting the earliest release of Mega Man 9 (if it's not delayed) and I've heard bad enough things about the 360 D-pad to make me want to take the Wii remote or classic controller over achievements.

Edit: Come to think of it, even if Mega Man 9 is delayed for a week it'll still be released before the 360 version. :P

Controller preference and earlier release. Plus, I have my Wii connected to a SD CRT as well for best image quality.

Thanks for the list, Jiggy.
 
I have like 3 blocks of room left lol.

Is there any way I can still DL MegaMan9 later this week without losing some of the games I already have here(bought way too many VC releases)...

Thanks in advance!
 
MarkMan: Push the titles to an SD card. The channels, not the saves (since they are so small anyways)

Eh, I beat most of Mega Man the other day with it and it felt fine. I have a SNES controller + adapter that I'll be using for MM9, but I think the Wiimote would suffice too. The dpad is certainly smaller, but it's easy for me to get used to.

Call me a graphics whore if you want, but the Wii not even doing 720p is REALLY a turn-off for me. If I pick up a PS2 game at this point, it has an excuse: it was created for a system that was launched in a time before HD consoles existed. Now, however, I have an HDTV, I have a PS3, I have an Xbox 360, and I also have certain expectations. If I'm going to only play a finite number of games each year, I'd rather play the fun and interesting games that are also in HD versus the fun and interesting games that aren't. For a lot of people, this factor isn't at all a big deal, but for me, it's just as hard to spend money on a Wii game as it is to spend money at this point for a money on DVD when I could instead be buying something on Blu-ray.

Virtual Console, however, get a pass like the PS2 does. Plus, I can better justify spending a few bucks on a game from consoles past that I used to love, versus buying a full retail Wii title when that larger amount of money could maybe be better spent elsewhere.

I really hadn't expected to feel so stubborn against the Wii. I bought it long before I bought my PS3, I was excited for it, and I had planned to actually play games like Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda. But, the day I got my HDTV... man, things changed.

HD sales have picked up but the percentage in homes is still low. Lack of HD on wii makes sense, and Nintendo has said Wii's successor will be an hd machine because the market penetration will be higher. Graphical fidelity shouldnt be an excuse to avoid fun games.

Goddamn, now I'm worried. After Ys and Mega Man I can actually see Nintendo doing this. :(

And this is why I haven't let myself get my hopes up. After that week where they didn't put up a single game they were supposed to (some even had press releases out!), I just expect it to happen again every week.

Nintendo would never hear the end of it if Mega Man 9 doesn't get released today.

I wonder what is going to be thrown out there against MM?

Well, the Nintendo Channel currently shows Plattchen and MM9 for release today... given recent trends, that would indicate possibly just a single Virtual Console game.

I'm tempted to say Mega Man 3... but I'm probably wrong.
 
WII-KLY UPDATE: TWO WIIWARE GAMES AND TWO VIRTUAL CONSOLE GAMES ADDED TO WII SHOP CHANNEL


Sept. 22, 2008

What does your Wii™ library say about you? Are you fanatical about one style of game, or do you favor a brimming variety of sports, puzzle and fantasy titles?

WiiWare

Mega Man™ 9 (CAPCOM, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Cartoon Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): Mega Man fans, the wait is over! The classic Blue Bomber that debuted in 1987 is back with the ninth installment in the classic series.

Step onto playing fields in countries all over the globe and use a combination of normal and super shots to help take down your opponents. But be careful, as some destinations have surfaces that can affect your footing. Manage the team as you think best, and swap out characters with other players that better fit your playing style. Two players can enjoy a head-to-head game or play a spirited round of Bean Ball, a six-character free-for-all.

When the Orbot leader, WarHead, starts blowing a few circuits and causes a war among the mechanical brethren, a sludge pilot named Vectorman is the only one willing to step up and fight him. You'll morph into a speeding train, a power drill, a mechanical fish and a mighty dune buggy in this action-packed adventure. Equip yourself with weapons, pick up morphs and power-ups to defeat WarHead, and restore peace on Earth.

Yeah like that, but without having to buy anything to have it work. So not really like that at all.

(I'll probably get one eventually, but I don't really have much of a need seeing as I don't own a single Wii game that can go online and the one game coming out on the VC I care about, MM9, is also going to be up on XBLA.)
 
I wonder how the VC complain brigade will react to this.

"Waaah, Vectorman should have been out months ago."

"Waaah, what, no Crash 'N the Boys, waaah."


:lol :lol :lol
 
Three for me today :o

Only one I'm not sure about is Plattchen I really don't follow WiiWare), but I might end up getting once I see more impressions.

Let me try.

I've got no fucking room on my Wii for all the games I want to buy, so I have to suffer the bullshit slow transfer time to move shit to my SD card or just delete them and suffer the slow-ass speed to download them again next time I want to play them. WHERE'S THE FUCKING STORAGE SOLUTION WHERE'S THE FUCKING STORAGE SOLUTION WHERE IS THE FUCKING STORAGE SOLUTION YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS

Virtual Console offerings are among the best over the past few months. Go figure. :lol

Hmm, I wonder if it's all to make up for the small amount of news/announcements of games from the Nintendo rumor mill? Either way color me excited, I still have a lot of stuff to go back and replay. :lol
 
Segata Sanshiro said:
Wow, big week. I have interest in 3/4 of those titles, and I only lack interest in the 4th because I don't know fuck all about it.
Click to expand...

This. I expected them to send VC to die because of MM9.


What caused this chance in Nintendo's philosophy? What was it, 5 months of shit prior to one more good games every week for the last two months?
 
Haha, Vectorman. And only about a year and a half after Sega announced it for VC, too. I guess this means ESWAT and Crack Down could show up soon as well. Of course, all they'd be doing right now is getting in the way of Phantasy Star 4 and Shining Force 2. :lol
 
(Not a complaint, just a comment) 1 year and 8 months after it was shown on ESRB Vectorman finally shows up. Did Sega just forget about it all this time? I wonder if Sega was like
Guy 1: "So what should we give Nintendo to relesase today?
Guy 2: (Checks list) "Well we still have Shining Force 2 that we could release.........or Vectorman.
Guy 1: "Vectorman? Didn't we release that march of last year?"
Guy 2: "No sir. For some unknow reason it was never relaseed."
Guy 1: "Well hot damn! We need to put it there now!"
Guy 2: "What about Shining Force 2?
Guy 1: "Fuck Shining Force 2! The fans can wait another....year.
Both: Laughs.

This is an awesome week though. Too bad I'm broke.... :(
 
To anyone with more insight on MM9, I'm debating whether to buy it on VC or XBLA. Are there are differentiating factors that should make me lean one way or another?

Right now, I'm thinking of picking up the Wii version. It seems like the Wiimote will function as a much better controller for the game than the 360 pad.

The only reason I could see anyone buying the 360 version over the Wii version right now is if they have some bullshit opposition to deleting games they can easily re-download at no penalty. The game is out for Wii now. just get it.
