Wii thread - part V

Well, based on all the good things that I've heard about the Godfather game, I took the plunge and ordered it. It should be in my mailbox today or tomorrow. And tomorrow is my day off ... so I'm hoping to get a little bit of new gaming in.
I also ordered Super Paper Mario. It will be the first new Mario game I will have played since the SNES.

I rarely buy any VC on wii. I still waiting for NEO GEO on VC or Sega Saturn on VC or some of mine favorite SNES on VC but all of them is not showup yet. Hope it'll be around fall this year or next year

I think size is an issue unless they use compression. If they let us play off our SD cards, then size becomes moot. 4-8GB SD cards would be perfectly fine. Wouldn't even need a HD, really.

But, oh well, at least I got to play Chu Chu Rocket and Toy Commander again .
Edit: also found -- Although at least one of these titles have appeared in little-known converted PC versions around the time of the original release, sources close to GameTap have confirmed that the titles are indeed running in a Sega Saturn emulator, rather than simply the PC SKU.
On the upside, GameTap can handle the controller configurations this way, and since every emulator-based game has a default config for Xbox360 controllers, I'm set.

The next two Saturn titles are Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon Zwei. I am praying Saga is going to end up there as well.
Gametap is really good about grouping the games. They do have a lot of PC versions of console games, but they keep those in the PC section. Their Dreamcast and Saturn games are running on those emulators.

Wii is getting it's first non-VC downloadable game, a remake of the C64 classic Impossible Mission:

I'm excited for it too. I loved that game (and still have it emulated) but I was planning on getting the DS version. I may have to switch that to support new VC content and I'm hoping it'll be cheaper. This seems like a budget DS entry at $20, but would they seriously charge that much for a Wii download like this?

Agreed - sub-channels. I'd love to make a Zelda channel, for example, rather than just NES and SNES channels (though those would be nice too).
Plus a simple channel swap would be nice. I leave a blank spot on each page to just make moving them around easier. If I could pick up A and drop it on B to have them switch places it would be much better.

you could set them up per page.
For example, the first page of screens could just be the Mii channel, shop channel, internet channel, etc.
The next page could be for all the NES games, and the next page for all your Genesis games, etc.
There should be enough pages of empty channels to do this.

I still think Sub-channels would be nice. Even sub-sub-channels.
