Topic: VC Friday 26.1.

[KDR_11k]

Another week, another VC Friday:

Mario Kart 64 (N64, 1000, carries a note that it isn't possible to save ghosts yet and that theyre working on it)
Soldier Blade (Turbografx, 600)

I hear some people like those.

Don't you guys have a secret European community board, or something?

 

[IceCold]

Who shut that down, again?

[KDR_11k]

And it wasn't secret.

Besides, these threads are less because other Europeans want to discuss it and more so the rest of the world can compare their VC offerings with ours and know what gets released in each region.

That ghost comment is interesting.  Have you tried it out yet KDR?  Did they actually disable the feature or does the game crash if you try it?

[KDR_11k]

I haven't bought MK64 and am not planning to, it says that when you go into the "more details" text in the store. My guess is it handles ghosts normally but they aren't saved, i.e. they're gone if you quit the game.

KDR:  Not buying Mario Kart 64?  Blasphemy.  If he floats...burn him at the stake.

I've got DD and DS, I don't have a use for yet another MK. Didn't even get gold in all races in either of them. Mostly because I hate blue shells.

Super Mario Kart forever

Why didnt Nintendo just hold it back till the Ghost thing was fixed, its not as if they have no other classics under their hats.

I would rather have the Super NES one anyways.

[KDR_11k]

Because they wanted to release that big title now, people wanted that big title now, the ghosts are just a minor feature and they can patch it anyway?

[Infernal Monkey]

Wow cool, with Australia's VC block on all TG-16 games, this is another week consisting of a single release. :] Good thing MK64 is awesome. Still my favorite in the series *EXPECTS THE HATE TO FLOW IN*

[Mario]

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

Mario Kart 64 is a game i'd download. Indeed.

[Plugabugz]

I don't see where it says that ghosts are being worked on? It only says "saving ghost data is impossible".

[KDR_11k]

It says "in this version", I figured that means until they patch it.

Like I said its not as if they do not have any other BIG titles to release.

[KDR_11k]

Probably none of them as ready for release as MK64.
