Nintendo spills holiday VC plans

Brilliant idea having the retro games available.

Ain't nothing like playing the original. I still have all my systems hooked up on my entertainment center. There is just something about putting in that cartridge that makes it feel good. Games all over the place. Plus its fun trying to hunt down the games that you don't have, and never played. Just bought Conker's Bad Fur Day last week.... never new it was so awesome. Also found Super Metroid at a thrift store... never played it back in the day.

Pah, I got the actual R-Type game for MAME and it cost me nothing.

i like mario nintendo must save mario

nice. i just downloaded baseball!

Sweet when i get a Wii im gonna get some vc games in particular chrono trigger and hopefully they'll bring the mystical ninja series to it as well.

Nah i'm good on that.

Why World Warrior? I hoped they would at least go with turbo...

Man, I apparently forgot how to type/spell in my earlier post. Ah well.. "Specifically, Shadows of the Empire, Wave Race 64, Star Fox 64, Duke Nukem 64, and Doom 64." --VegetaJr Amen.. Wave Race and Star Fox, along with Ocarina of Time (go figure), would be all I'd need for awhile, though I wouldn't mind seeing the Mystical Ninja games for the N64 appear as well. Who knows, though - they're certainly taking their time in releasing the 64 games.

So far sega has the best selection by far but they need to put out all the sonic games amd vectorman and mortal combat 2, which was better on genesis, all im concerned about i punchout for nes, mike tysons, i dont want mr.dreams punchout

"So, short answer is that it could be awhile.. My question is simply when will ANY other Ninteno64 game be released..?" Specifically, Shadows of the Empire, Wave Race 64, Star Fox 64, Duke Nukem 64, and Doom 64. ;)

i like the game super mario bros, but i never like his graphic...

hmmm it would be good to see that turbographix version of CASTLEVANIA X that never came to the us and hopefully more from that console which im guessing not that many myself included have ever played a turbographix and such. that would be worth releasing and get ppl interested more into the retro games instead of the games that can be found emulated ten times over all over the net oh well thats just me i suppose. oh and am i the only one that thinks that now that the wii is here with motion sensors and such shouldnt it be time to release a new PUNCH OUT with a new POWERGLOVE and really go retro lol heh

Probably not until Nintendo gains the rights to release it from Rare, which is know owned by Microsoft. Same as Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. So, short answer is that it could be awhile.. My question is simply when will ANY other Ninteno64 game be released..?

WHEN WILL DONKEY KONG 64 COME! "Hes the man of the buntch, you know him well! Hes finally back to kick some TAIL!! His coconut gun can fire in spurts, If he shoots ya, ITS GUNNA HURT! Hes Bigger, Faster and Stronger too, HES THE FIRST MEMBER OF THE D.K CREW!"

WHEN WILL DONKEY KONG 64 COME! "Hes the man of the buntch, you know him well! Hes finally back to kick some TAIL!! His coconut gun can fire in spurts, If he shoots ya, ITS GUNNA HURT! Hes Bigger, Faster and Stronger too, HES THE FIRST MEMBER OF THE D.K CREW!"

want to touch my Wii mmmmmm.... you can't mmm... it tastes like rainbows and chocolate... ok enough of the dual meaning thing the VC is already hardcore.

BANJO KAZOOIE,BANJO TOOIE and CONKERS BAD FUR DAY oh my!!!!!! DONKEY KONG 64 and SMASH BROS. too

Star fox 64! Star Fox 64!

hotrider12: "Im not on here to argue or hurt anyone," You are apparently in the minority here, I am sorry to say.

MARIO KART 64 is coming out in japan in january according to IGN.. so hopefully we'll be seeing it in us and eu in febuary.. im waiting for zelda ooT and MM...

I need a Wii A.S.A.P :cry:

I'm waiting for Chrono Trigger...

i got 1000 wii points just waiting for the next n64 game to come out. mario 64 is emulated so well that i don't have to get out my n64 to play it. But I almost bought R-type.

i want a wii

even though I got negitive feed back its nice to know someone reconize hotrider 12 . Im just a happy camper Im sure most of you guys on here are in your teens . but as I said before can we all be video game community and address our concerns to nentindo and hope they hear our concerns hell with our rants of which is good or bad if not all this is is a public board instant messaging site of what we're whining of what we want on the wii

pencilpusher69 just like I told exidog69 I heard it on the news a kid shot up some cops and a judge for playing grand theif auto Im sorry for this kid and its sad that he took what he played and went in public to kill those innocent gov. workers if you understand, Im only writing what I heard and if it bother you and exidog69 it was not my intention to hinder both of you. Im just a old school gamer really waiting on gradius and contra for nentindo wii debating on buying it til they come out so far they have "gunstar " close to contra til it comes out like I said before Im not on here to argue or hurt anyone, life to short for b.s.

Alex_THVK: If you ask me, I would rather hope they release the real verson of Castlevania: Dracula X. Dracula X: Rondo of Blood for the Turbo-graphic CD. Until then, the most we can get of it is replaying the prolouge and Richter mode of Symphony of the Night.

Shawnd0517, good list but I would add Contra the original to the top of the list. I can't wait for that one. That will be hot. Come on Nintendo, give the fans what they want.

Awesome Christmas presents Nintendo! My friend already downloaded Toe Jam & Earl, and Castlevania 4. A short wish list though: Mega Man 2 (or any for that matter) Boogerman Earthworm Jim Any Metroid Any Mario Kart Star Fox 64 DK Country 1 & 2 King of Dragons Rivercity Ransom!!

xeidog69 "HOTRIDER12, please shut it up already, we do not need that idiotic kinda talk up in here, seriously games do not program ppl, ppl r programed based on how they were brought up" Some kids aren't lucky enough to be brought up by parents, or are raised by parents who let their televisions raise their kids, never teaching them that anything is wrong. There are parents out there, who despite seeing their kids are troubled, will allow their kids to be troubled without ever doing anything to help them, often just blaming others for why their child acts the way he does. It's a real problem today, especially with single parent kids being born in the 60-80 percent ranges today. One parent has an almost impossible job ahead of them. I do believe that videogames, music, movies, and television can influence you. Bellbottoms anyone? People are lemmings, and act out what they see. MOST people that have been raised with some degree of morality however, will not act out the violence they see in media, but those are people who have been raised properly. I'm not saying that we should censor the games, or anything else, but people need to at least be honest about this stuff. Kids don't walk, talk, and act like their favorite musicians and actors for no reason. And ask any teacher about how kids as young as the second grade are acting these days, then ask yourself if rap is not having any effect on them. Anyway, long rant, and I'm sorry about it. But people, we don't dress like Sonny and Cher anymore, we dress like Jay-Z, or Marilynn Manson. Everybody is influenced by something...

Crappy Neo-Geo SNES ports anyone?

Bring on Super Metroid already (the only metroid game I never played yet)

all i want is Mario Kart 64 ^^ just voiced his ungodly awesome point of view^^

Let's go with that Paperboy emulation

-r4z0rbl4d3- It's not a question of DK love for the VC. DK & Dk Jr. for the NES are incomplete and inferior versions of the original arcade games. It's obvious you've never played the originals. Next time, read the entire post and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

those gamez were on the spot a few weeks ago, go watch that if u wanna get the scoop on those

n00bzilla said..."It's 3:10pm on 26th December and there is still no Super Mario Bros or Castelvania. Screw it I'm downloading Zelda." Dont know whats wrong with your wii or where you live, but I got them first thing yesterday morning and I downloaded Super Mario Bros.

It's 3:10pm on 26th December and there is still no Super Mario Bros or Castelvania. Screw it I'm downloading Zelda.

I'm looking forward to Super Castlevania 4 as well as Toejam & Earl. 'Tis a great week for VC fans!

Urban Champion and Baseball next week? Ugh. Hopefully there's some unannounced stuff on the way or next week will be the worst week for VC releases by far.

Bah, I saw Capcom and got all excited, and then I found out it was not Megaman 2.

When are they gonna put out Super Mario World from the SNES? I really enjoyed that game and IMO it was the best Super Mario Game

Its very cool that Nintendo I offering up these classic VC games, I bought Sonic, original Super Mario Bros is next for sure and R-Type for TG-16 was sucha cool game when it came out back in the day.... This Wii console is the S**T!!!!!

Super Mario Bros FTW!!! Just downloaded it, looks amazing on my 46" Sony Bravia LCD.. LOL Funny Im playing the Wii on a Sony TV. Amazing classic, made my whole family laugh.

I'm waiting for them to add Punch-out!! and EarthBound!

*waits patiently for the original Dragon Warrior for NES and more SNES games*

i still want alot of games for vc, but my issues with what will happen at the end of the wii's life cycle keeps me from going gang busters.

wKmike This sucks, wheres my Super metroid? you took the words right our of my mouth. Come on Ninty show the best 2D game ever it's proper respect....

Toejam and Earl is the GREATEST!!! So fun! I know I'll be buying that! And who in the world WON'T buy the original Super Mario Bros? Just about everyone. Finally some good content from VC. I haven't bought anything from it yet.
