Also you should be more specific of the types of games the controllers can control because people are always asking about that.....

wiki's page on the virtual console has a nice table that shows which controllers can control which types of games.....

thanks, but I already set up a system. I did it that way because of the "partial" for TurboGrafx-16 games... I wanted to show what each game would use.

No I wrote all this myself about 3 days ago and couldn't get it stickied and then I tried again today and it finally got stickied

The problem with that is that I made this for all territories and since games don't come out the same time everywhere it would get very cluttered. I think I'm going to make a New Releases section.

Yeah, that does make things more difficult. Maybe just put a little marker at the end of it to signal that it's new or bold it or something of that nature. Good work,t hough :)

Great Job!! finally it got stickied. just do a good job updating it. and IMO you should put on that controller compatible pick. because its pretty user friendly. Put it in a reserved space or something. Its not like its going to hurt it. Also i got moded too. earlier. it was super lame. they didnt even give me a reason.

I love Super Castlevania IV. I'm always playing it, and now I'm gonna finish it (never finished and played a Castlevania properly). Anyone has bought it? Or someone has Gunstar Heroes?

Not all games are going to work with either the GC controller or the Wii Remote. Only some of the Genesis and TurboGrafx games will work with the GC controller, but all work with the Classic Controller.

Im having big problems. I downloaded Gunstar Heroes, it works fine. But whenever I press the home button and then press it again to exit the home button menu, my tv says the error message "mode not supported". I recently downloaded F-Zero and now that game wont even start, becuase whenever I try to play it, I get the same message from my tv. My tv is HD, i'm using component cables, and I've tried changing the HD setting and the aspect ratios of both TV and Wii. Please help me :(

In my own opinion dongoen explorer is pretty good. On top of that its a great party game since you can play 5 players at the same time. I downloaded it and played it alone to the end tough... next time my friends are coming gamin will sure try a game together.

Some people say its too hard but you just have to adjust to the game. Dont hit ennemies, that drain your power in seconds. Just take everything at distance then you'll be ok.

I say it is totally worth it and one of the best out there.
