Official bitching about Hudson abandoning VC support. [VC/WiiWare = lost cause]
- Thread starter Kobun Heat
- Start date
Could it be the ESRB that's the problem here? A lot of these games were never rated by the ESRB (because they predate its existence), but they sure do have ratings on the Wii now. If Nintendo is putting every game through the ESRB process before releasing it on the VC, it could explain the huge difference between the US and Japanese lists (Does Japan even have an ESRB equivelent?).

When you fight that ring boss, made up of a bunch of segments with one weak point, does that mean you beat stage 1? Or is he a sub boss?
I'm on stage 5. The trick I think is that the red weapon is the best for clearing the levels, suck for bosses.Haleon said:
Sub-boss. Don't even try to hit his weakpoint. Just keep firing and do nothing but try to get out of the way of the giant blueball weapon. He'll die in ~20 seconds.AdmiralViscen said:
I'm only on the third level, but from what I know:Gigglepoo said:
No, you cannot upgrade your ship.
Yes, you can change to multiple weapons, and you can upgrade them as well.
There are 4 or 5 different main weapons, and then shields, missiles, other crap that floats along with your ship.
And yes, it's good. BUT HARD.

Yea, I beat the ring guy pretty easy. But I died later, and wound up right back at the beginning of Stage 1. I was confused.
When I pick up a different weapon color, is my progression in the previous color totally lost? Am I starting from scratch whenever I switch colors?

I'm not sure how it works. Sometimes it'll give you more lives and let you keep going, other times it might start you back at the beginning.
No your progression stays where it's at. So if you have lvl 3 red and get a yellow, your lvl 3 yellow.
Haleon said:
Sure, it's easier than stage 2 imo. The level 4 boss had me stuck for awhile but I got his pattern down. Just not down enough to guarantee victory everytime(I have problems getting past those green bird things he launches). Pretty annoying.
Also, I've only been skimming the thread but does everyone know about Super Star Soldiers 2 and 5 minute score attack modes? Hit the - button at the run screen to access em. 5 minute mode is quite addicting.

My virtual consle menu runs SUPER FAST now. I'm happy!
Um, hey guys, how do I get my wii remote to work with the VC? I just downloaded Super Star Soldier, and it's on the "Press Start" screen, but doing anything with either of my wii remotes makes the blue lights blink for a while, then stop blinking without turning on. I tried syncing them up again to no avail.

Is your gamecube controller plugged in? It's a long shot, but the wiimotes with VC stuff when the GCN controllers are plugged in.

I'm not sure why people are so against deleting games and then re-downloading them later if they want to. With the file sized we're talking about, the longest it will probably ever take to download a game will be a couple of minutes. Mario 64 took me under a minute, for example. I'd rather do that than pay for a harddrive that will most likely be overpriced anyway.

Seriously. A 20 gig HDD is completely unnecessary unless Nintendo starts delivering content that would need it. You get a gig or two SD card and it'll take care of your VC content.

I updated it a bit so you guys go to Wikipedia and read about the games if you chose to do so before purchasing them, because those Gamespot reviews are getting a tad ridiculous.
Guys, the OFLC (aussie rating shite) has given some more games some rating, might mean they are coming to the US VC too...
NES : Gradius, Xevious.
SNES : Street Fighter 2 - The World Warrior, Super Castlevania 4, Super Probotector - Alien Rebels.

Midway needs to put Battletoads on there. They do own Battletoads, right, since they bought out Tradewest?

Yep. Midway. Though they may not know they own it.
Haleon said:
Rare developed it, but somehow they didn't have the rights to it. Tradewest owned it, Midway absorbed Tradewest, so Midway should have the rights to it (unless they sold 'em off for some insane reason).
I just got 2000 more Wii points... what should I spend it on? (Now I have 2300 total). I'm thinking Mario 64, Sonic, and......Zelda. That'll put me at a 0 balance. Or I could not buy Sonic and get Super Star Soldier instead...decisions, decisions!
(Or I could just wait till Monday's VC update and decide then.)

I'd wait. Besides, this Xmas surprise from Nintendo that's coming up might require points, so I'd really hold off until all that's been settled.

Well, so much for Battletoads on VC, then...
