The Virtual Console started off great in 2006, and in 2007 the sucess and great titles kept coming (for the most part). However in 2008 we had a long drought after Crusin’ USA and the Secrets of Mana’s release in early 2008 (mainly due to WiiWare, with great titles like Dr. Mario RX, Defend Your Castle, Wario Land: Shake It!, Mega Man 9, and World of Goo), although Double Dragon and River City Ransom did a okay job at stopping any “short death” of the Virtual Console. But then this “drought” ended in June in Japan, August in Europe and Australia, and September in North America (as it’s 250th Virtual Console game) when these regions all got a massively amazing game: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, which started a mainstream Virtual Console comback (which I might add SMRPG is the best-selling game on the Virtual Console). Since then the Virtual Console has made a comeback, with Clu-Clu Land (Nevermind. It’s okay at best) Mega Man 1 and 2 being released on the Virtual Console (despite being released in Europe in 2007), and Mario Golf being released about 4 weeks ago in Japan, about 3 weeks ago in North America, and will probably hit PAL shores soon.
Still, there are tons of Virtual Console games from Nintendo consoles that need to be added to the list of available list of games. That is why I made this list. I’m going to list the top 25 most worthy Nintendo Entertainment System/Nintendo Famicom NES that need to be on the Virtual Console that currently are not on the Virtual Console.
Well guys, the Nintendo Press Conference has come, and we’ve learned a lot. Club Nintendo is FINALLY coming to America, the new DS, Punch-Out is going to get a 7th generation of gaming entry (that looks like the originals, only cel-shaded), as well as several titles. However, nothing struck my eye more then what Nintendo of America Vice President Cammie Dunaway told IGN, and what was shown at the conference. Pikmin (the original) is coming out on the Wii with a remade control scheme. Yes-Pikmin. And so this made me think “Geez, what other games would be great with a Wii Virtual Reality control scheme?” So far Nintendo has confirmed this with only GCN games, but I thought I would expand to N64 games (as I image they will AT LEAST expand to that as well), SNES and Super Famicom games, NES and Famicom games, and heck-even Virtua Boy nevermind, the Virtual Boy is fail!Game & Watch (that’s a handheld system! Nevermind!) and old Nintendo arcade games! So I compiled this list of the 25 games I think would be the best games remade on the Wii, first, second, and third party (and even some games that were ported to Nintendo systems, even! o_O).
During a Game Developers Conference session called “Planning the Wii Menu” today, Nintendo’s Takashi Aoyama announced a new Pay to Play program. This will be a new version of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (NWFC). Aoyama explained that NWFC will remain a free service, but forthcoming experiences will require users to pay a fee to enjoy. These services will fall under the new NWFC: Pay to Play program. Games that utilize the new service will feature a logo similar to the one used for NWFC but is orange and reads Pay to Play at the bottom.
Unfortunately, Aoyama did not go into details about what games or services we will be paying to play. He did say Nintendo is taking steps to ensure consumers don’t mistakenly buy a Pay to Play game with the expectation that they will be able to access the entire game for no extra charge.
Before I satart may I warn everyone that spoilers are rampant in this post. Secret characters and stages are revealed. Thus if you are being spoiler free avoid this post like the plague. Today we are going over numbers to see exactly how well Sakurai and team (because the man didn’t do it himself) did in representing each of Nintendo’s franchises within this game. Again I repeat Spoilers are present. Now lets get started. unlockables are marked in orange and past stages are marked in blue.
Yes it’s true, we now have the full roster. There’s not much to say, it seems Chaosleader was right about everything minus some aligning issues. Still click below for more information. Please keep in mind spoilers are present. All of this info is factual and none is speculative.
this video is basically a player going through basic brawl from the selecting his character to choosing a stage. Some neat info is presented in this video and it seems that we may be getting more past stages as unlockables along with a wealth of new stages.\
Major spoilers! Stop reading now if you don’t want spoilers. There are more veterans then you could imagine, so this is the biggest spoilers we got…so far! o_O
