VC Friday continuous thread
« on: February 08, 2007, 09:18:45 PM »
People wanted me to keep these all in one thread so okay, here you go.

This week brings us three warriors from far-off lands:

Super Mario World (SNES, 800)
Zelda 2: Adventure of Link (NES, 500)
Vigilante (Turbografx, 600)

I've got SMW and Z2 already on other systems.

"Zelda 2: Adventure of Link (NES, 500)" Lucky bastards. I want this game more than any other game that has a high chance of appearing in the VC, except for games that I still want that have a really low chance of coming to the VC.

I second this motion.  Reggie name is now taken.  Actually I need to find out who is actually in-charge of the USA VC games.  (Maybe some one with access to the Nintendo Press page could find out and possibly interview them because we all want to know whats upt. *HINT**HINT*)

Ooh, they get Excitebike first too.  Very strange.  It's starting to seem like every region got access to a whole bunch of games up front and it's been up to them what order to release them in.

Yeah it must be, as we haven't gotten Kid Icarus yet.

I have to mention that blackfootsteps's list is incomplete. Europe also received New Adventure Island (Turbografx, 600).

For today, NoE grants us the magic of:

Kid Icarus (NES, 500)
Ocarina of Time (N64, 1000)

I already got the latter with Wind Waker and don't intend to get the former (cheap difficulty paired with stupid respawn rules is not something I like and considering how many didn't get past 1-3 I don't want to waste my money on this).

Yup dead franchise.  But I wouldn't mind a Metroid Prime clone.  (incidentally, Metroid Prime is a Zelda clone -- it had to work in 3D SOMEHOW)

It speaks HERESY! BURN ITTTTT!

On another note, Europe Fridays seem to be a little ahead of NA mondays. You guys got DKC first, LttP first, now OoT first... at this rate you guys will get Super Metroid before we do!!!

Every time this thread's updated I think "Oh yeah, it's almost Virtual Console Monday! O:" and then I get all anxious to see what the new games'll be, but then it's still a few days away. D:

Only Europe has TMNT.
It seems I'm just in the wrong region for the VC.

Don't worry, that's the NES TMNT, not the arcade one.

BTW, shouldn't it be TMHT?

Isn't that what they changed it to in Britain because ninja was too violent?
