Nintendo has been releasing some huge games to the Virtual Console lately. I thought they'd pace themselves a little more in that regard.
Give me Ocarina, Nintendo!
Releasing Mario Kart 64 with online play would make everybody buy this quickitty-quick! Hopefully, Nintendo's rolling over the Mario Kart online play fun to Super Mario Kart.It'd be a huge crime not to release a Virtual console Mario Kart game with online play.
@JNintendo is releasing all Virtual Console games so that they're emulated just how they were on their original system. That means no online play for old games ever.
Don't say "ever", there is that "Update" button in each VC game. By their own admission it allows game enhancements. In theory.
"Is Nintendo finally bringing out the caliber of games you demand from a console of a virtual nature?"Sorta.. they have to release something since their first party titles seem to be non-existent for Q1. Bring me DKR and maybe I'll be sold. A guy can hope can't he?
FINALLY!Time to get more Wii points…!
Meh, im not buying virtual N64 games, or even too many SNES or NES games (only a top 5 or 10.) I still use my old consoles enough, I am mainly buying SEGA and Turbo games…. consoles which I have never and will never own. I play my Wii, NGC, and N64 every week, NES and SNES not as often but I play them enough that they don't see dust. N64 games on Wii are a waste of money and sparse internal memory (regardless of SD cards.) Besides I LOOOOOOVE popping that cartridge in….gives me tingles.
THIS IS GREATNESS NOT!
