I'll be getting Earthworm Jim - I've played (and still have) the SNES version, which is supposed to have the better graphics - but the Genesis version is supposed to have better animation and an extra level not in SNES version.

:thumbsup: to EJ!

Nintendo just keeps on putting out the strong VC titles. I guess we can be thankful for the Wiis weak 2008 Fall software lineup since it has got Nintendo to put out the good VC titles.

I really want to get some of these VC games. How hard is it to get a Wii hooked up to the internet? I have AT&T DSL which is in a room on the other side of the house from my Wii. What would I need to buy to get it set up properly? Has anyone had luck using AT&T DSL and a Wii?
|
You only need a wireless router as the Wii is only equipped to connect to your <s>neighbor's</s> network wirelessly.
|
Yeah, I have ATT DSL also, and you just go into the Wii's network set up, it detects your DSL and if it's locked, you just have to input your key number, and you're good to go.

Hits just keep on coming! Interested in ACR and love SH from my SMS days.

Space Harrier would be awesome if I could use my wii fit balance board to control the dude.

Not a big Space Harrier fan, but it is cool they are adding another great SMS game.
Alien Crush Returns I definitely want. My only question, are the Extra Stage downloads addition cost? Wii Ware and VC continue to deliver good stuff. |
Alien Crush Returns launch trailer. Kind of a lame "narration", but it looks cool anyway.

Update for 11/10/2008:
<u>WiiWare™</u></b><br><br><b><i>Brain Challenge™</i></b> (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Just like your body, your brain needs to be exercised to stay in shape. Boost your brain and relieve stress through various minigames in a personal session to get a detailed evaluation. Challenge your friends' brains in delirious party games to see who is the smartest. Test your brain's abilities in Visual, Memory, Logic, Math and Focus minigames. Compare yourself with friends by challenging their brains in three multiplayer modes. Develop your resistance to stressful situations that could happen in real life. Use a customized Mii™ character to create personal sessions. Choose your favorite personal coach. Track your overall performance with detailed statistics and graphs. The special Kid Test and Senior Test modes will gather everyone around the game.<br><br><b><i>Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam</i></b> (Virtual Toys, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone-Animated Blood, Comic Mischief, 1,000 Wii Points): <i>Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam </i>is a frenetically active cooking game in which you must serve food to your customers as quickly as possible. This could be a simple task, but the customers aren't very patient, and you'll find a multitude of annoying insects that make the noble mission of satisfying your small gourmets' stomachs much more difficult. In the game's Career Mode, your goal is to become the best chef in the city. To do so, you have to prove your worth by cooking in four fantastic restaurants: the Hot Dog, Hamburger, Pizza and Mexican Restaurant. Enjoy playing <i>Yummy Yummy </i>with your family, serving delicious food to the most surprising characters: vampires, ninjas, extraterrestrials and mafia thugs. Put on your chef's hat, sharpen your knives and turn up the heat.<br><br><b><u>Virtual Console™</u></b><br><br><b><i>Mega Man™ 3</i></b> (NES™, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): In the year 200X, the notorious Dr. Wily, now reformed and working for the forces of good, works hand-in-hand with Dr. Light to build a new type of peacekeeping robot.

This time, Mega Man must rely on his new slide move and canine companion Rush to conquer the stages and vanquish evil. A new character, Proto Man, adds to the mystery and appeal of this seminal title in the famous action-game series. |
I don't understand why they limit releases to 3 a week. I really don't think 2 WW and 2 VC titles a week is too much to ask. Just make sure they are different genres so you don't overload people on one type of game and everything will be fine. Nothing for me this week, but I finally picked up Ys Book I&II and still need to finish Secret of Mana.

I would buy a Wii again if they got their VC act together.

Update for 11/17:
<b><u>WiiWare™</u></b><br><br><b><i>Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3</i></b> (Telltale Games, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older – Alcohol and Tobacco Reference, Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): Move over, generically buff action heroes. Strong Bad is here to show you how it's done in his hand-crafted cinematic masterpiece, <i>Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective</i>. You play Dangeresque, a dirty cop in pursuit of a little action and several big sacks of cash. Can our hero stay alive long enough to defeat his arch-nemesis, save the world and get the girl? Looks like he's gonna have to jump.<br><br><b><i>Target Toss Pro: Bags</i></b> (Incredible Technologies, 1-16 players, Rated E for Everyone, 700 Wii Points): <i>Target Toss Pro: Bags</i> is a new video game based on beanbag toss, the nation's hottest backyard and tailgate sensation. Bags – or Cornhole, as it's called in some parts of the country – originated in the Midwest in the 1960s and has since become a staple at outdoor social events from coast to coast. Similar to horseshoes, <i>Bags </i>is a deceptively simple yet extremely competitive game where players try to toss beanbags into a hole in a slightly raised platform or "box" for points. Whether at a tailgate party or a summer barbecue, the game has become a social focal point, and the unmistakable thud of bags hitting the box is now a universal party soundtrack.<br><br><b><u>Virtual Console™</u></b><br><br><b><i>SPACE INVADERS: The Original Game</i></b> (Super NES™, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Experience one of gaming's iconic franchises in this perfect rendition of the arcade classic. Take aim at the field of invaders relentlessly marching toward you. Move quickly but carefully, using the barriers for protection as you avoid missiles fired by the aliens and try to destroy all of them before they reach the bottom of the screen. Further enhance the nostalgia by choosing from several modes that simulate different versions of the arcade game (such as upright cabinet or black-and-white). Or if you want to prove your superior skills to a friend, try the new VS mode and see who can stop the alien menace the quickest. All in all, it's pure gaming at its best, now with no quarters required.<br><br><b><i>FORGOTTEN WORLDS</i></b> (SEGA GENESIS, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone – Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points):<i> FORGOTTEN WORLDS</i> is a one- or two-player side-scrolling shooter made by CAPCOM. It was one of the first games to incorporate 360-degree aiming and shooting. This SEGA GENESIS version provides the same impact and intensity of the classic arcade game. In the 29th century, without warning, warships broke through the sky, loaded with fiendish aliens. They rained down fire, bombs, missiles and napalm, leaving the land barren and inhospitable. Humanity was enslaved and Earth became known as the Forgotten World. In a hidden place, a group of brave humans raised two male children in secret. They brought up the young men as warriors, training them for battle. The two warriors emerged as armed machines of might, strength and super power – the Nameless Ones. Fight the hateful invaders as the powerful Nameless Ones. Collect Zenny to upgrade your weapons and satellite, and free the planet. |

I, for one, am surprised that Nintendo letting us play Cornhole ourselves finally - instead of just doing it to us.

Update for 12/1:
<b><u>WiiWare™</u></b><br><br><b><i>SPACE INVADERS GET EVEN</i></b> (Taito, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older-Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): The Space Invaders are back, and this time they're out to get even. Take control of a UFO and make those Earthlings pay by unleashing your fleet of heroic invaders against their puny tanks, fighter jets and artillery-but watch out for the massive boss awaiting you at the end of each stage. Use your invaders' five attack types and the might of the mother ship to rack up high scores, then upload them via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection and see where you stand in the global rankings. (Note: Router and broadband access required for online play. For more info, visit <a href="http://www.nintendo.com/" target="_blank">www.nintendo.com</a>.)<br><br><b><i>Pit Crew Panic!</i></b> (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): <i>Pit Crew Panic!</i> is a frantic, action-packed game that unfolds on the racing circuit. During the game, the pit crew is not only faced with repairing vehicles, but also various WHATSITs. Handling the WHATSIT repairs is a pit crew made up of legendary beauties. The controls are simple: Just grab a member of the crew with the Wii Remote™ controller's A Button, then release the button when the Pointer is over the damaged PART, and that crew member will begin repairs. Assign repairs to the members of your team and provide support using the Wii Remote to send a fully repaired WHATSIT out of the pit as quickly as you can. The game features Normal mode, which can be played using one of two rules: Abnormal mode (players split into two teams and compete against each other) and Ranking mode (compete with players around the world for the top record). Each mode can be played with a maximum of four Wii Remote controllers, allowing you to team up with friends and family. Your teamwork could lead to outstanding records.<br><br><b><u>Virtual Console™</u></b><br><br><b><i>METAL SLUG 2 </i></b>(NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen-Blood and Gore, Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1998 by SNK, <i>METAL SLUG 2</i> is a side-scrolling military-action game. Players choose from Marco, Tarma, Eri and Fio, setting their sights on wiping out Morden's newly remobilized Rebellion Army. Just like the original <i>METAL SLUG</i>, players blaze a trail by shooting and jumping, but <i>METAL SLUG 2</i> adds a new arsenal for you to command, including a heavy machine gun, a shotgun and even a laser gun, providing players with rich variety. Battle effects are packed in, as well-players turn into mummies after getting caught in poison gas coughed up by mummies. After picking up too many food items, characters turn fat, but they get an attack-strength upgrade. Two-player action is supported, too, so players can have a blast with their friends. |
For $9, Metal Slug 2 seems a bit high considering MS9 came out on the DS two weeks ago for $30.
|
I already have 22 games I have purchased. I made a deal with myself when I beat a game I would buy another game. Well that didn't work well. As soon as I got more money I bought more points and bought more games. So I have 22 games to try and finish. The only ones I am waiting for is Donkey Kong 64 and Majora's Mask. I hope they get released soon until they do I am gonna focus on my 22 games I bought. I ran out of room too so If I want more I am gonna have to get one of those cards.
|
Well, you can get the Metal Slug Anthology on the Wii for around $30, which has 7 Metal Slug games (including 2) and a bunch of extras.
|
Good call slop.
|
I thought Space Invaders sounded cheap: it's because you only get the first level today. The rest are going to be additional DLC in 3 releases, also at 500 points (2000 for the whole game).
