I bought 3000 Wii Points on launch day, but only spent 800 on Sonic that day since they didn't have Super Star Soldier or Gunstar Heroes, and I hesitated on Sim City.
When I go back home for thanksgiving, I'll buy more Wii Points and get my Sim City, my Super Mario 64... and MAYBE bomberman...

No. It was announced by Nintendo that none of the games on the virtual console would be altered at all. The games are supposed to play exactly as they did on their respective original consoles - faults and all.

What I'm praying for here is a solid framerate, even if it only 15-20 fps. It would be nice to play some of the four player games like Vigiliante 8 and Perfect Dark without the terrible slow downs. Unless the developers hardcoded framerate drops, games like those should maintain their "optimum" speeds.

Once I had some points, it was pretty difficult to avoid temptation by two of my all time favorite SNES games. I convinced myself that I didn't have time to play SimCity, but F-Zero is such a perfect virtual console game that I couldn't avoid it. I know I could just plug it into my SNES, but now I can play a race whenever I feel like it without switching inputs, ejecting cartridges, and untangling controllers.

This is a lie, because Zelda's framerate is noticably smoother than the original...(Sonic has a perfect framerate as well...)

Show me some really interesting choices and I might consider it. Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley, for example. Maybe Blast Corps. for the N64 (did Rare keep that license, or Nintendo?), hell, gimme Sin and Punishment. Seriously, just gimme some of the rarer stuff that Nintendo hasn't been already shoving down our throats and I'll bite.
So an interesting thing I noticed the other day. The "Classic" Controller has two analog sticks. Why? The N64 only had one, and you have to use a GameCube controller to play GameCube games. Why is there as second stick? Could we end up seeing some VC originals?

And to the dude who hates Altered Beast, it is a classic man they game that SOLD the Genesis at first, but I can see how someone who never played it before would be disapointed. Just think back to 1988 when NEs was the ting we were all playing and along came Altered beast, back then it was SUPER impressive. I want to DL it just for nastalgia sake but if yo didn't enjoy it back then you will hate it now it didn't age very well at all.
Post by: Ian Sane on November 22, 2006, 05:09:09 AM
I figure it's one of two things.
1. The classic controller is also supposed to be used by Wii games that use more traditional controls. Thus it is designed more for making new console games then working well for old ones.
2. Whoever was assigned the task of designing the classic controller didn't really know what games would be used for the thing so they went with a generic Playstation design. In other words they had the techincal expertise to design a working controller but not the historical game knowledge to know that it doesn't work well for N64 games. Nintendo's top people were probably too busy with the remote itself so the classic controller was assigned to less knowledgable people. It's like how classic compilations are usually handed off to teams that don't know sh!t and thus do stupid things like breaking the random select in Mortal Kombat II or reversing the A & B buttons in Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Hell the odd choices of initial VC games suggests that whoever is in charge of the VC doesn't have the knowledge of game history that they should have.

Some other notable games that I would get in a heartbeat:

Ghosts and Goblins
Rygar
I was just able to connect to the Wii Store today. Changed the channel on my router, since I there seemed to be enough noise for the Wii to continually be unable to find the network. Seems good so far! Not sure what I am getting today. Maybe just all of them. ;-)

How many times has this been brought up? Please press C-up and C-down at the same time with an analog stick. Can't do it? Exactly. That's why an analog stick is a lousy substitute for what was originally four seperate buttons.
Post by: segagamer12 on November 22, 2006, 05:59:23 AM
Altered Beast was never advertised as Segas Zelda, Altered Beast was Segas LAUCNH PACK-IN,
it was never advertsied at all, it was an arcade smash hit that was really impressive to see on a home system at that time. The arcade version is slightly better but the Genesis handled it pretty well.
It stil is a fun game though so if you haven't playe dit yet its a cheap game so give it a try yo might like it. I for one love it even to this day but thats just me.
The VC controller works for Dragon Ball Z BT 2 as a regular controller so I think that is what its primary function was intended to be, after all they kept prmising a "shell" that would be for traditional games and they calssic controller is what turned out to be the "shell"
BTW it works horribley for DBZ if yo get that game stick tot he Remote nunchuck setup its heaven and Classic Controller is Hell.

Was Altered Beast the one where you smashed coffins that popped up out of the ground, and I beleive had to get an orb that allowed you to transform 3(?) times?
If so, I found it goofily fun, and still have the original game downstairs. May have to redownload it.

It sucked.
Sonic the Hedgehog was fun, but no Mario. As for Sonic not having slow-down. It had a few places of slow-down. Whenever you several coins that you collected the game slowed down to a crawl, and quickly saw coins disappearing so that it could catch up speed. I didn't mind this too much, because the effect of seeing tons of coins litter the field was awesome during the day.
I remember showing my friends Sonic's attitude for having to wait too long. I thought it was the coolest thing at the time, now I think it is pretty cheesy.
Bubsy the Bobcat had the some great waiting animations though. That is a game I hope shows up on the virtual console...it wasn't great, but it had some charm.

All the other VC games I already own in some format or am not interested in. I'm guessing "Soccer" sucks, since I haven't heard anyone speak of it.
I may consider getting Bomberman '93 if I have 4 other friends that want to play (I can already play it w/ 3 others on GameCube)... or Bonk. I'm sure there'll be a lot more to get eventually.

Although in terms of that game in particular, I suppose it doesn't really matter... *sniff*
Regardless, the lack of C buttons really convinced me to just skip it and stay with the GCN controllers for emulation, since I already have those anyway.

Some games are hard-coded specifically to start skipping frames in certain situations to prevent the system from locking up. Old emulated arcade games usually suffered from the same problem at key points in the games. This effect shouldn't occur in all areas of an emulated game, however. Especially where the developers had decided that no hard-coded framerate drops were necessary (i.e. Hyrule Field, Perfect Dark's hallways, etc).
My hope is that developers will also release, "Director's Cut" editions of old games, where they (the developers) go back through and clean up the code and graphics a bit to take advantage of the more powerful hardware available, not unlike today's "Director's Cut" DVD releases.
... And while I'm on that idea, I would kill to have commentary, development documentaries, or artwork unlockable(or available) within old games.

"Q: Are the games on the Virtual Console the same as the original games, or have they been enhanced?
A: Virtual Console games reproduce the game content, moves representation, etc. true to the original piece when it was released, and the basic program, characters, sound etc. have not been changed. While the porting of games from the original systems may result in minor changes to the game display, these changes do not affect game play."
However, note that another FAQ states that free, optional "Updates" may be available for certain games, although it does not get into what these updates will entail.

You're forgetting that the N64 controller also has L, R, and Z. Granted, very few games use both L and Z.
But no, even if you have enough buttons on the Classic Controller, you really don't when you consider the placement of the buttons. You know, I haven't even opened my two Classic Controllers yet...and I don't see how I could, for example, use the (awkward-looking) ZL and ZR buttons in place of two more face buttons, which is what you almost seem to be suggesting there.
If the classic controller had six face buttons, that would've easily solved the issue with N64 games (and certain 6-button Sega Genesis games). Also, arcade fighting games would be cool (I like to use my N64 controller on my computer when messing with MAME, and the six face buttons work very well there).

Check your router's parent company's homepage and search for your router. They usually have info on how to do this. You usually have to go into the service menu of the router from your computer (again, if you don't know how to do this, check your router's maker's website for instructions). Then in there, there is an option to change the channel on the router.

Not nescasrily, most 6 botton genesis games were SNES ports and SNES controller handled them fine.
I have a N64 and a Wii and Classic COntroller and I do not think its that big a deal. Lets see, there is A and B then ther is L and R and Zl then there is Lr and X and Y Start and Select they could concievaly use Select inplace of a nother botton cuz its not present on N64 controller.

There's only one N64 VC game out so far, but it's so generically mapped to the GC controller that I would anticipate all games will be mapped to the controller in the same way. (Yes, the D-Pad works in 2-D VC games, Super Star Soldier is confirmed by moi.)
HOWEVER - the Classic Controller is uniquely mapped in every game. That is to say that the A button on the controller could mean A in Mario but B in Zelda. You'll find this evidenced by hitting the Home button on the Wii Remote during a VC game and clicking the electronic manual. Here you will find a guide to how the controls are mapped on the Classic Controller and Wii Remote (if applicable) BUT NOT on the GC controller.
Edit: This means that you don't have to worry about all the C buttons in N64 games being automatically mapped to the second analog stick of the Classic Controller - expect Zelda to use the face buttons for items and not the control stick. However Turok could very easily have the C Buttons mapped to that second analog stick to give a simulation of dual analog FPS shooting, but who knows how they'll do that.
Nintendo obviously wants to sell Classic Controllers, and they want to emphasize that this is the controller that can do EVERYTHING on the VC (and hopefully elsewhere, considering that it has GameCube style analog L and R buttons that are useless for every VC game, indie stuff aside). So for those of you on the fence about the Classic Controller, know that it is fine tuned to every game. We MAY MAY MAY (probably won't) start doing some reviews of the VC games that come out so you can know if its unplayable with the Wii Remote or GC controller. Nintendo may start doing that soon.
FINALLY, did you guys know (you may) that you can suspend play on any VC game by hitting the Home button and returning to the Menu? Even if you turn the console off (and unplug it, I tried), the game will be right where you left it when you click it again. This is SUPER AWESOME.

Except Super Mario 64. I read somewhere (GameInformer online rings a bell) that it is so far the only game that does not support this feature. Could someone on the forums confirm this? It is also the only N64 game availible, so we may not see the suspension feature at all in N64 games due to their larger RAM sizes.
I think the suspend feature is only really necessary for arcade-style games that seem more prevalent on the NES/SNES/Genesis than they do on later systems like the N64. Of course, it would be nice to be able to save in the middle of a Grand Prix in Mario Kart 64.
Post by: Ian Sane on November 30, 2006, 05:34:43 AM
But there aren't enough face buttons for the N64 Zeldas. Isn't that the whole point?
Regarding the suspend function that is a fantastic feature. The best thing about it is that it's not a save state so you can't abuse it like people do with emulators. How did Nintendo get a feature like that so dead on and yet not offer an obvious feature like button mapping? The VC is being handled by a Nintendo dual personality. Sometimes the super genius is doing things and sometimes it's the super idiot. Anyhoo the suspend feature is such a great idea I think it should be available for every game system. Like new console and portable games should have such a feature. It should become a new standard in video game system design.

I probably would too but I think both are pretty major. There really is no reason to do one so well and completely neglect the other. It's not like if we got controller mapping it would have been at the expense of this suspend feature. If I designed a download game service controller mapping would be standard. To me it's an expected feature. I would never for a second consider not having it.

The scalling and rotation bit was all handled by the dual 68K chips as event he standard Genesis had some limited capablities.
Emulators that run Genesis games all handle Sega Cd as it is easy to emulate cuz uts just emulating 2 68k chips instead of just 1.
My VC total is six games now. I got Mario Bros, Sim City and Solomons Key day one I got the Wii, added Super Star Soldier, Altered Beast, and Zelda today. MAN I LOVE VIRTUAL CONSOLE!!! SEGA PLEASE ADD SEGA CD SUPPORT!!!!

Doom would be so nice to have on the Virtual Console, and there'd be several ways to play, such as using the nunchuck to move around and the Wii remote to look left or right depending where the cursor is...or something. Plus Classic Controller/GCN Controller Support. 4 player local splitscreen or Nintendo Wifi Connection with Friend Codes.
I dont see it happening for some reason, considering how new Virtual Console games are a little...slow. Plus the idea that either developers are fearing that it wont work on other systems, or Microsoft is sending money hats to developers to tell them not to put it on other consoles.
Post by: segagamer12 on November 30, 2006, 04:21:01 PM
I got some new VC games today and I noticed something about Zelda. This isn't the original NES Zelda exactly as released way back when. This is the Zelda Collectors Edition version. I figured this out because if you check the copyright day beneeth the titel it says 2003 on it. At first I thought ok well sure they updated all the copyrioghts but then I rememebred Zelda Collectors Disck came out In 03 and if it was updated for VC it would say 06.
Now I remebered that if you type in Zelda for your name on NES you go from regular game to MAster Quest correct? I never tried it for GC version so I wanted ot knwo if that was changed and if so it would confirm my suspicion.

FINALLY, did you guys know (you may) that you can suspend play on any VC game by hitting the Home button and returning to the Menu? Even if you turn the console off (and unplug it, I tried), the game will be right where you left it when you click it again. This is SUPER AWESOME.
Yep, I started a thread about in December.
But yeah, it's a great feature.

Gah, sucky. Not that I was gonna get VC games anyway but the possibility would be nice...

Really, then how come it is possible to buy Japanese VC games on a Japanese Wii with an American credit card.

I'm intrigued!

The TG uses a controller that resembles the NES controller, works perfectly. Megadrive games can be problematic since the MD had three buttons. While many games use only one or two and some are configurable (e.g. Toe Jam & Earl) some games may force an important function on the button that gets assigned to A.

1. I downloaded Mario Kart 64. It doesn't seem to be saving the gold medals that I receive at tracks. (New to the 64 version) I have beaten Mushroom cup three times and haven't seen the gold cup on the track selection screen. Does anyone else have this issue? This would mean I'll never see mirror or any other unlockable.
2. I downloaded Super Mario Bros. The first thing I noticed is that occasionally on-screen characters may briefly flash or dissapear for a second. Not that big of a deal but I don't know why this would happen on an emulator. On an 86 NES sure, but I can't imagine that flaw would be built into the software. Second, I never owned the original but it seems as if I can only duck by pressing straight down. So if I press down right, Mario will not move but will be standing in place. Is this the same as the original? I was trying to get to minus world and it was making it very difficult to complete the ducking jump.

Good emulation includes emulating bugs.

Now on the subject at hand. If bugs weren't emulated you couldn't get Minus world more then likely.

I can not personally guarantee the transmission is 100% secure, but I have trusted Nintendo enough to use it twice myself.

So in the end it's probably just as safe as buying from Amazon or the like. (Even safer then the phone.)

Thanks for your replies guys.
I also thought that Big N wouldn't do this whole thing without using at least SSL but I was just wondering how the data was encrypted.

Yeah, I should have been more clear about that.
Nintendo says the transmission is secure, so you just have to give them the benefit of the doubt. (Or use a packet sniffer
)

In the Monday Virtual Console Thread we are talking about the virtual console and emulation in general, which should really be here...I have been trying to find out what comes out today on the VC and have had no luck in these forums yet.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts - SNES
Sword of Vermillion - Genesis

I forgot that you need to exit to the Wii Menu to create the suspend point, and I just powered off the console straight from the VC game. Doesn't work.
