- Qoogirl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24"Ninja Gaiden"!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot count the hours I spent on that game!
The rooftops, the trains, the rain! Loved that game!
They should add "River City Ransom" and "Bubble Bobble!" Just because! - Smwbigboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+233. Duck Hunt
Nice. Looks like downloadable games will be able to use the wiimote too. Now that there's a web browser, it's only a matter of time before we start seeing some Wii homebrew. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23"from a trustworthy source" - I don't have any reason to believe any of this, sorry. Want to, but the site is not all that reputable.
- DarkJedi375, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I'll be happy once I see "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars" up there.
- quiddy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Where's my "Yoshi's Island"?!
- phronko, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15As long as Barbie Horse Adventures is on there, I'm happy.
- Wiicalum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I'm questioning the authenticty of this. It satets that it was recveived from 'their sources' and they made no indication as to who they were - just like most rumours. I shall treat this as a rumour for the time being.
- AgentEntropy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I tried, I really did. But I just couldn't get it down to only five. Honestly I almost couldn't get it down to only 10.
1. Castlevania
2. Duck Hunt
3. F-Zero
4. Legend of Zelda, The
5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
6. Metroid
7. Sonic the Hedgehog
8. Star Fox
9. Super Mario 64
10. Super Mario World - djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10To say you're missing the point of VC would be a gross understatement.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Does that mean, we'll be able to do a "barrel roll" moving the wiimote?
- FreyrVanir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9My five must own list, whats yours..
Kid Icarus
Legend of Zelda, The
Ninja Gaiden
Punch-Out!!
Super Mario World - Keloran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8if mario kart 64, works over the net, i can see that being the most popular racing game for hte wii
- Peterh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8yeah, the pricing was announced a while back... I think they said it'd be in the $5 to $9 range, depending on the game.
- chaser324, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I completely agree. This is a rumor. I'll wait for an official press release from Nintendo before I start thinking about downloading Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, or Super Mario RPG.
- contradictator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8MORTAAAAL KOMBAAAT!!!
- space1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Where is RC Pro Am?
- danc4498, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I didn't see Goldeneye that list. A very bit miss if you ask me. I can only hope they are re-working it to use the wii-mote
- EGOvoruhk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I believe it wont be happening, because EA owns the James Bond rights currently
- IcyStorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm sure there will be more games added on as they go...
Goldeneye is iffy since Rare developed it (now owned by MS) and Activision (or EA, at least until 2007 I think) owns the license now. - 83457, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Bonk's Adventure is best known as a game on Nick Arcade
- pastasauce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Chrono Trigger?
Earthbound?
E.V.O.?
Harvest Moon?
Space Invaders?
TETRIS?!?!?!
I hope they are adding more. - dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah, I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't launch this without some Square Enix stuff (I mean, who here DIDN'T have a copy of Dragon Warrior for the NES?)
Also no Super Mario 3? Come on... Nintendo would be stupid without putting a little bit more effort into launching a larger list of titles people really want. I mean there's no tetris on there for pete's sake. - novamob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It's sad that emulation runs at 5 fps.
- c0dy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4If that's not speculation and it's indeed the real Wii Virtual Console line-up, then it would definitely put XBLA to shame from day one. Not to mention Wii's line up games... easily the best console launch ever?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Any rumors about vc prices ?
- mrgreen4242, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 would be dream come true if they did an online multiplayer system for VC games... the hours spent on those games...
- Brett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Atleast some promos will provide the classics for free.
IE: Buy Smash Brothers Wii and download original Super Smash Brothers. - Angmar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Those prices were for NEW games not old ones.
- Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ocarina of Time, Duck Hunt and Sonic The Hedgehog will tide me over until the library's expanded.
Can't wait to see Starfox 64 and - even though it's a very long shot - a load of Squaresoft games up there. *crosses fingers* - dagamer34, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Economics 101 says that you don't flood the market with all your goods at once. You never want people to start thinking about which "good" game to buy, because you want them to buy all of them.
When faced with buying 2 games, people are more likely to buy them both if there release dates are spread far apart than when they are together. Especially since you can only really play one game at a time. :P - heilig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4did someone say block fort?
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I want some Kirby Superstar! as well as EB and CT...
- achoo5000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Mortal freaking Kombat! (I hope it's not the censored SNES version)
- thepyro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I really hope Square lets them add Secret of Mana some time along that wii's reign.
- drakonite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"may only be a rumor, but for all intents and purposes these games will be on the list sometime in the launch window or a bit later (maybe up until spring 07)."
Yes... because unless I'm mistaken N has already mentioned, demonstrated, 'leaked' images, or has already rereleased all of the games in the list.
From what N has been saying, the list of games available almost immediately is 2 or 3 times longer than this list...
...It's just another crappy site making up 'exclusive' info. - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They should add multiplayer to Goldeneye. I would never leave my room.
- kingkilr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Super Smash Bros, am I the only one who thinks the first one was the best?
- Xinex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3NOOOO! Please Nintendo or EA or whoever, find it in your kind hearts. Bring. Back. Goldeneye.
- Brett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ok... after reading this list, its CLEAR its just speculation.
REMEMBER:
Nintendo is emulating systems from 1985 - 1996. Its not exactly trying to play XBOX quality games on XBOX 360. Therefore, unlike Microsoft, Nintendo could in theory develop "general" emulators for each system, WITHOUT the special tweaking MS requires for each game. Therefore, any game for these systems that they maintain the rights to could (AND WOULD) be uploaded and work out of the box. I highly doubt Launch will go live without their best selling Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past. I also doubt they would include the original Super Mario Brothers, and not the updated and much nicer version in Super Mario All-Stars.
Although speculation, I am digging it because it has Super Mario RPG, but thats the only reason. - krummb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Punchout!! Forget Fight Night, Little Mac is the *****, opening some whoop ass on Piston Honda, Bald Bull, King Hippo, & Soda Popinski.
- itsamix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I NEED SOME BLADES OF STEEL
- Brett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2> 6. Kid Icarus
I am SO buying this system on launch day! The debt-less credit card in Kid Icarus is ingenious!
Although, I am both *shocked* and disappointed that the following did not make it:
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Super Mario All-Stars
Super Metriod
Donkey Kong Countries (any of them)
Donkey Kong 64 (license issue w/Rare?)
Also, why not some GBA games? - castleking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Bonk's Adventure was a game for the TurboGrafx 16, or PC Engine as it was known in Japan. You played as a caveman who had to save a purple princess. His attacks consisted of smashing stuff with his head, and going completely insane by eating meat. That is still one of my most favorite games ever.
- jrathert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Nintendo doesn't want to oversaturate the market at launch since we'll all already be spending so much. Thus, there will be plenty more later on (probably around Christmas), but I think this is a great start.
- Qoogirl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2TETRIS! My mom would stop answering my phone calls and cooking if they put Tetris on there...lol
- keviniskool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where are my prepaid VC cards!!!!???
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For me the ones that I really want to get right off the bat are:
Super Mario World
Super Mario 3
Vector Man
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
Golden Axe
Street of Rage
Donkey Kong Country series (if they make it) - oldnavy1918, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All the Mario carts....
Where are the Mario partys? - Brett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You can use the GameCube controllers, they map nicely.
Plus Wii, has a regular controller it looks like the next generation version of a SNES pad.
-Brett - erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wonder how long it will be before someone manages to crack the presumably encrypted ROM files used by virtual console. I can think of many games that I would like to play on Virtual Console that Nintendo does not offer.
