New/Old Virtual Console games to watch out for

Nintendo of America is announcing three new games from the past to watch out for in the Virtual Console. You could safely assume that you will find them tomorrow when you turn on your Wii and check the Wii Shop's VC section. You could also safely assume that if you have an older sibling or a parent who fondly remembers and misses his or her old-school gaming days, you can also kiss that Wii goodbye for the next few days or so.

Hey, we remember this! Tennis for the NES! For those of us old enough to remember, one of our favorite two-player pastimes. Hey, at least this isn't one game of tennis that will send the Wiimote through the wall, right? 500 points and a Wii Sport goes old-school.

Next up is the Genesis' Space Harrier II. Yeah, everyone wanted to be a hero, grab a blaster rifle, and plow through innumerable fodder and unbeatable odds, right Master Chief? (Oops, wrong gen). Well, this was one of the early Genesis games to give that experience, a forward-scrolling shoot'em up port of the arcade classic of the same name. 800 points to resurrect on your Wii.

Finally, because Hudson's playing catch-up in getting their VC titles out, Military Madness for the TurboGrafx16 will also be available. Analogous to the Advance Wars series on Ninty handhelds and their NES predecessor, Military Madness had you at the command of a turn-based army taking turns fighting against an evil empire on the Moon. 600 Wii points to unleash your inner Napoleon(ic Complex).

Of course those are going to be the cash cow titles. they will release them when there is "release drought" or when there are few big titles worth buying coming out. so you opt instead to buy a VC game, and that when they release SMB3!! because people are more willing to pay for it because they need something to play!!

Nintendo, stop releasing these bs games and bring out a heavy hitter or two! Currently theres only 2 games worth buying on the VC and thats Zelda and mario 64. The japanese have been hit with good VC titles why cant we? They got the super mario bros for the SNES. they got the original Super mario Bros for the NES.



I understand that they want to save some of their bigger titles for bad release months of Wii games. But theres almost nothing good coming out between now and march. NOWS the time to bring out the donkey kong countries, the mario games. Stop focusing on Turbografx and genesis games. I want to see some N64 and SNES games come out. Those were my most cherished nintendo systems.



Hell most people back in the day these consoles were out were very loyal to their brand. Nintendo survived because they were the best. Stop releasing your competitors products and bring out some of your own!

# it always works that way — Guest 2006-12-19 05:33
I expected the releases to turn out this way for the Virtual Console. Nintendo is originated in Japan. There for, it's always been this way for years now. Japanese residents will get the pleasure of playing everything first while other countries will get to sit and wait for a few months before being able to play the golden nuggets of the system. And I wouldn't doubt it if Japan got some more jewels once we get the hand me downs. Again, might as well get used to it because it's probably going to be this way for the life span of the system. I%u2019m personally not stressing too much about the VC, but I%u2019m get this bad feeling we are going to get jipped on some releases. Oh well, I%u2019ll just go back to playing Oblivion once I get bored of Zelda.

Just to let you know, the Wii was released in the US first, then Japan, then Australia, then Europe. Same could possible go for the VC titles. Plus there is the issue of rights, and licences etc...



So you can't say Japan gets everything first, it was you Americans this time around for the Wii! It's Europe who get's the sh*tty end of the stick +P
