Three new Virtual Console releases in North America today:
Tennis (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Players slam a serve, fire a blazing backhand and smash a forehand volley on their way to winning the victory cup.
Space Harrier IIâ„¢ (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Fantasyland has been taken over by destructive forces, and a call for help comes from deep in the universe.
Military Madnessâ„¢ (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): Military Madness is a futuristic simulation game that throws the player into the middle of a war on the moon’s surface. (Also known as Nectaris on some systems.)
Never played NES Tennis or Military Madness, but I remember playing Space Harrier on a suspended chair in the arcade. Military Madness sounds interesting, but I’ll have to read up on it first.
Anyone interested in buying these titles?
No!When the hell do we get the Castlevanias, Contras, and some supernes games? And who TF wants Tennis??? Ya, like I'd rather play that than Wii sports! WTF Nintendo? Its like they are poking us with a stick to see if we snap and kick their asses.
Boo! I agree with Fuzz. I understand they want to space out the AAA titles but give me something to be excited about! Wouldn't they want to entice us to do some downloads early on so we're familiar with the service and start accruing leftover points? Super Mario Bros should have been there at launch day.
I guess our last poll showed that 50% of Infendo reading Wii owners have bought a VC title, but I think Nintendo needs to get us hooked on the VC like Apple did with iTunes.I want to open a Pepsi and have a 1-in-3 chance of winning a free download! Put a free download code in my cereal box!Of course, this may all be down the road (try the summer release slump), but they really need to get us hooked at some point.
You get Contra 3 and Castlevania 4 next week, actually. So be merry!Have to get something off my chest here. People have been clamouring for good to excellent Virtual Console titles. Well gues what, they're there for those who can handle their Mario fetish!I have five VC games I'm enjoying to death, and three more I want to download. It's a shame you're all clamoring for fucken super mario bros. That's one of the games I've played to death and I want least. I'm happy with the selection Nintendo's got coming. Man, they even have HAGANE coming up! Now that's the attitude I want to see. To hell with all the Mario's and Zelda's, I want the critically appraised titles that most people overlooked. When I saw HAGANE confirmed I creamed my pants!It's better for Nintendo first to release the average slew with the good few. You know, of all the games out there 70% is average to suck, 30% is good to excellent. This figure is reflected in the weekly updates to Virtual Console.If you're so desperate for AAA titles, I have some for ya, all available by next week:- Donkey Kong Country- FZero- R-Type- Castlevania 4- Contra III- Bomberman '93- Super Star Soldier- Dungeon Explorer- GUNSTAR HEROES- Military Madness- Solomon's Key- Super Mario 64- Alien CrushNow, there's really something for everyone here. If you all are still complaining about lack of AAA titles, I'm going to call ignorance on you all. Everybody's screaming for AAA titles, yet they wouldn't recognize one if it'd slap them on the balls.
As for me, there are already way more games out there than I can handle! I'm having a blast with Super Mario 64, and I'll download Donkey Kong Country for sure… But no complaints. I have more than I can use already! And now they are giving us the Wii Weather Channel for free next week?!?!?Gamers: give 'em a hand and they'll take both and drag you down with them…
Hey D-Town-Congrats on the pants creaming. I hope that doesn't get uncomfortable with all the ball slapping you've been getting from those “AAA†titles.
Fortunately, I recognize an 'AAA' game (whatever the hell that is, BTW, you came up with it!) or, in normal words, a damn good game a mile away. They don't have to slap me on the balls at all. Me and me bitches, we have an understanding foo'!!
Military Madness was awesome.If you like Advance Wars (any iteratino), you'll like it pre-cursor.
Yeah what in the world? Why would I want to buy the nes version of tennis when I have wii sports tennis? I'm looking for Blazing Lazers or Splatterhouse on tg-16 and Metal Storm on nes which is in my opinion the greatest overlooked nes game ever. What about games that sony made for nintendo systems? I guess we'll never see them on the vc, oh well Sky Blazer (snes) was the only one worth a poop.
