I'll note that you said "rage quit video games" as opposed to "rage quit the NWR Forums". I believe the two can be mutually exclusive.

Of course--I'm not going to punish you for something you have no control over.

Me too vudu, too bad there is not much chance of it happening. Square Enix has the Batman license (thanks to them buying Eidos Interactive, who had it), right? Maybe they could reach a deal and just charge 600 Wii Points like Konami and Ubisoft did for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Maybe when the next Batman movie comes out they will release the NES one?

As I said in the VC thread, this announcement makes me quite happy. Blaster Master is an obscure enough game that I thought it would get ignored at the rate Nintendo's going with the VC. Maybe I'll actually beat the game this time...maybe.

Awesome news. Blaster Master was probably my favorite NES game ever.

EasyCure · « **Reply #29 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:25:11 PM »

Oh man, so much love for Blaster Master here.. it's getting me kinda hyped to reexperience the game..

Maybe if it sells well enough we'll miss out on a Blaster Master: Re-armed HD game!!!

A guy that works for the company (Vic Ireland) is posting over at GAF, this is a summarizing of what he said:

Quote from: GAF

- This month, Sunsoft will be releasing Blaster Master for VC on the Wii.

- The VC version of Blaster Master will have easter eggs and surprises not found in the original, and Vic Ireland says you will be rewarded for making the effort to beat the game this time.

- Next Friday there will be another announcement from Sunsoft/Gaijinworks about "whats new for Sunsoft/Gaijinworks"*, which Vic Ireland says will surprise many people and it sounds like it is a pretty big deal.

- The Friday after that there will be another further announcement, as Sunsoft and Gaijinworks continues to outline their plans of returning into the industry outside of Japan.

Quote from: *Vic Ireland

Okay, since we're talking poker talk, I will say that I recommended a specific course of action in one area (we're dealing with many areas in this Sunsoft resurgence), and Yoshida-san essentially said, "I like where you're headed. I'll see your <suggestion> and go all in <with a MUCH larger implementation of what I recommended, which is what the press release will cover>".

I was literally stunned to hear how far he went with what I recommended. I'm pretty sure you, especially, will be as well.

I already posted in the Talkback thread about this.

Blaster Master was easily one of my favorite NES games. I'm very happy to hear this news!

Oh wow, Chameleon Twist... I remember reading about that in Nintendo Power back in the day and thinking it woulda been a fun platformer with interesting gameplay, but I never got a chance to play it. Is it any good? Musta sold well enough to warrant a sequel right? I'd love to finally try it..

I'd love to try it, too. I didn't know it was made be SunSoft, I thought they faded into obscurity after the 16-bit generation. Now that I know that it makes me want to try the games.

I had no idea SunSoft was even still around. How are they in business if they haven't released anything?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 06, 2009, 02:25:47 AM »

Don't you own every N64 game that came out?
wouldn't that mean that you have Chameleon Twist(1&2) and can play it whenever you want?

Mop it up · « **Reply #34 on:** December 06, 2009, 02:36:22 AM »

I guess nothing has really motivated me to try them. I could say that about a lot of games...

Stratos · « **Reply #35 on:** December 06, 2009, 04:49:25 AM »

Chameleon Twist was always on the 'neat but never bought' list. I'd definitely give it a D/L if it shows up on VC. Plus we need more N64 games, especially need to break out with the 3rd party ones.

They continued releasing games in Japan, this is just their return to publishing games in North America.

Isn't that my line?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #39 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:06:07 PM »

N64 games would be great (yes the N64 library was small, but there are many third party non-licensed games that could be added). I also want to know where Midway support is. Midway announced back in March 2007 that they were gonna support the Virtual Console, specifically naming the Mortal Kombat series as some of the games they would release on it. It's been almost 3 years and Midway hasn't released any games on the VC.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:08:04 PM »

Is Midway still around? Thats a lot of (free) money they left on the table, but it's no one's fault but their own.

Mop it up · « **Reply #41 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:11:00 PM »

I thought Midway went bankrupt.

The Rush series of racing games would be nice to have on the VC, they're my favourite racing games on the system.

EDIT: Yep, bankrupt:

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #42 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:56:00 PM »

Time Warner purchased almost of Midway's assets (and are working on buying the name itself too), the only things they didn't buy were "Wheelman" and the TNA license. Warner Bros. Interactive (Time Warner's video game division) could release them on VC. I couldn't figure out why Midway didn't try and release as many games on VC as possible after they announced they were declaring bankruptcy, it would basically be free money and could have helped them having to sell themselves to Time Warner.

I just hope Time Warner is smarter than Midway executives were.

Master Blasterbater looks like StarFox Landmaster, but fun.

December 14th is when this game is going to be released. So next Monday.

Cambot · « **Reply #47 on:** December 10, 2009, 10:46:39 PM »

Here's the press release Vic Ireland was referring to:

http://www.sunsoftgames.com/debrief.php

Sunsoft acquired entire Nihon Telenet library. Could mean obscure Rennovation and other obscure Japanese games are coming to VC and other services.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #48 on:** December 10, 2009, 10:55:07 PM »

Yep we have a talkback thread on that already.

Mop it up · « **Reply #49 on:** December 10, 2009, 11:42:51 PM »

This might be my free NES game. This announcement makes me want to play the game again but I need a save feature to do so.
