QuoteAnd also, another piece of information..
The creator of Tecmo Bowl and Ninja Gaiden is onboard with the virtual console.
With Wii’s launch growing closer and closer with each day, publishers are finally starting to their weight on the Wii Virtual Console bandwagon. You can now add another name to the list of supporters: Tecmo. In a financial report on August 28, 2006, the company promised to support Nintendo’s Wii download service “aggressively.” Unfortunately, no other details were mentioned.
QuoteSo, I guess that event really will be a big one - looking forward to it!
The developer is readying Super Swing Golf Pangya for the Wii's launch later this year. Meanwhile, it is expected that the Virtual Console feature will be unveiled during a Nintendo Press event in North America on September 14th.

Oh man if DoA shows up on the VC, Would that then count twords having a DoA game on a Nintendo system? Could we see Kasumi in Super Smash Bros?

The orignal PSX version is only about 150MB and with todays compression it could easly be dropped down lower and DoA2 was only 300MB on the Dreamcast.
There are bigger game demos on XboxLive so I don't think it would be that hard.

they also announced patches, which can be up to 200 meg in PC world
Nintendo never said they wouldnt allow files bigger then 64meg, and as stated by the person u disagree'ed with, 100-200meg psx games could be ported to VC (point blank was 200meg for psx, yet its like 15meg for nds)
Post by: couchmonkey on August 30, 2006, 05:23:13 AM
I'm crossing my fingers for Ninja Gaiden Trilogy...or even the originals, if they would just include a save feature...in fact I'm hoping for save features on a lot of older games.

It's still early, but I'm going to go ahead and count this as today's worst mangling of the language.
This is good news, but I can't think of any games of theirs I'd want to get on the VC. I really liked Ninja Gaiden, but I could never figure out how to beat the next to the last boss. I don't think I have the patience to deal with such punishing games today. What else did they make, besides Tecmo Bowl?
Post by: capamerica on August 30, 2006, 05:41:47 AM
There is also the Arcade version of DoA that could also be used. And SNK has mentioned that they are in talks to be bring over some of their Arcade hits and SNK arcade games are defintly out side the 64MB limit. The Wii has 512MB of Flash memory you could get both DoA and DoA2 in there. Sure you won't have room for much more, but thats why Nintendo is also using SD Cards and USB HDD.
Nintendo never said that they won't alow CD games and we don't know the 'offical' limits of the VC. We could very well see PSX, TurboGraphix CD, SegaCD, Saturn, DreamCast and even GameCube games.
Post by: JonLeung on August 30, 2006, 05:43:34 AM
I know in Japan they released a few more games, like the Captain Tsubasa games and I think the Wonder Project J games (EDIT: oops), but for North America, all I can think of are the three NES Ninja Gaiden games, the trilogy on the Super NES, Tecmo Bowl (and probably a Super Tecmo Bowl or other variants), and that's pretty much it.
So, essentially, they're "aggressively" supporting the Virtual Console with two major series...and that may be it? Maybe we should look up Tecmo's profile on GameFAQs... EDIT: Apparently they did Solomon's Key, Fire 'N' Ice, Rygar, and a bunch of other Tecmo sports games.
Anyway, I just want to say that Ashtar from Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword Of Chaos was one of the coolest villains EVER. Or at least, he looked pretty crazy evil at the time, not many NES baddies even came close.

Except Capcom seems to like remaking their games for the PSP, and Square-Enix is remaking games for the GBA, so maybe their classic games won't be available for awhile. Well, those two are the remake/rerelease kings, so they probably will have VC stuff at some point in time, it's really more a question of "when" than "if".
Wow, this is my 1000th post! I spend too much time here.

I do however find Tecmo quite spineless when announcing they're supporting the VC so aggressively, but giving the actual console jack frigging sh!t. Now lets hear Konami announce Gradius for the VC, but send all of their Castlevania games to the Xbox 360.

What with their pompous ass bitch of a spokesman/boss/total a**hole Gwen Stefani probably driving their creative forces under his ego-fed thumb.
Dude thinks he's awesome because he's made three franchises, none of which truly and honestly sell systems all that well, and one of them takes characters from the other and plays tea party.
I'm sure he could survive on his sense of self importance alone. But he won't touch the Wii. If he does, then we might as well expect a true Castlevania down the line. Iga is about the only other guy who can match Itagaki in terms of sheer asinine-ness.

I don't think there will ever been an "Adult" version of DoAX, Itagaki seems very intent on not going any further then where he has pushed DoAX into. If you want that kind of game go buy Sexy Beach.
As for Itagaki making a Wii game, I wouldn't count it out. After he finisheds DoAX2, Dead or Alive: Code Cronus and Project Progressive (DoA game) maybe the next project will be a Wii game. Hell maybe Ninja Gaiden 2 will be a Wii title, you never know.
Quote
In a recent interview with Tomonobu Itagaki, by Kikizo, he revealed that he will like to develop games for the Nintendo Wii Console.
Q: Are you interested in Wii, is it something you are interested in making games for?
Itagaki: Yes, of course I want to make games for Wii, it’s just that if I change my way of doing things, it’s going to be physically difficult because I tend to focus on one project at a time, but personally I like to play the type of games that are being made for Wii. Of course we have another producer, Kikuchi, who is working on a golfing game for Wii, so I give advice and try to work with him as much as possible.
Post by: Strell on August 31, 2006, 09:45:10 AM
There are love pillows of his brain dead doe-eyed emotionless characters.
Not to mention jelly boob mouse pads.
I don't think he gives a sh*t about his characters. You can't even tell them apart.

Post by: JonLeung on August 31, 2006, 09:51:40 AM
I can see why they're likeable (boing boing!), but one of the ones I like the least seems to be everyone's favourite...Kasumi. I don't like how she kind of looks baby-faced. It's just not appealing. But that's just my opinion.

There is a difference between a love pillow and a normal body pillow.
And if your going to give them sh*t about that you might as well bitch at all the other Game and Anime developers who do that too. Hell I think I recall some Final Fantasy chracters getting the same treatment.
I'll give you the Jelly boob mouse pad, they are kind of tasteless, but they are very comfy.
If you can't tell them apart you must have very bad eye sight.
@Bill
You act like all their out fits are skimpy, they may have a couple but thats all. The outfits are no more skimpy then any thing out of Tekken, Darkstalkers, King of Fighters or Soul Calibur.
And if your using DoAX as your example, its a Beach party game, what do you expect? Did you expect to see them all bundeled up in snow gear?
The Panty fanservice is something that is very normal over in Japan, Alot of anime does it so it really doesn't bother me, Only the loney teenage boys who can't get any get turned on by that. You have to remeber what he has done is more excepted as common place in Japan. While over here its not.
@ JonLeung
you not alone, I don't care much for Kasumi at all, I'm a big Ayane fan. I just say Kasumi since I know she is the most popular one.

Which is weird, because a few months later you've got the news of REALISTICORZ TANL1NES in DOAX2, and it's like, he's totally making a soft porn game, I can't figure out what he's thinking. I guess even busty anime chicks are more exciting if you actually care about their personalities.
Edit: since we're on the topic, my friends like to have epic Kasumi vs. Ayane battles (each one is a favourite of one friend), personally I don't really have favourites in fighting games, I prefer to play with everyone, but I picked Christine to be the character that I "learned" a little bit.

Team Ninja was apparently working on a DS game, too. And the only thing we've seen from Tecmo there is a crappy hentai guessing game. My bet is Pangya will be their only release on a Nintendo console for at least the next ten years.
