What about the "One handed controller" bit didn't tip you off?

JonLeung: Uh, you actually still use physical DVDs? Weirdo.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #303 on:** November 13, 2006, 07:48:31 AM »

Looks like the DVD rumor came true. I'm still not sure why they announced it, then took it away, then announced it again for a later date.

JonLeung · « **Reply #304 on:** November 13, 2006, 07:53:41 AM »

Hopefully it's just a software/firmware upgrade, so I can play "My Plaything: Stacy Valentine" on my Wii without having to buy another one.

What did I say? I mean..."Transformers: The Movie - 20th Anniversary Special Edition". Yeah, that.

Too.

Playing porn on my Wii will be fun in a very, very ironic sense.

I could always put a bunch of images and videos on an SD card and mess with the Photo Channel. (It was once joked that I could put porn on any device, though I've yet to do it with a toaster as someone suggested.)

All you have to do is just tape a paper of Victoria Silvestead and there you go. Or embed it in the toast.

JonLeung · « **Reply #308 on:** November 13, 2006, 12:08:25 PM »

I'm pretty sure it's "Silvstedt".

Anyway, I'm glad the camera I bought before my trip to LA for E3 uses SD cards. So the first set of photos I can browse on the Photo Channel will be of me playing the Wii for the first time, six months ago. It's like one of those trippy looking-glass situations. Or something.

Are we allowed to quote GoNintendo.com?

well anyway, here goes...

“Something big is coming to the Virtual Console, something that, for the past decade, certain corners of the retro community have been crying out for. I wish I could say more, but the uncertainties of publishing schedules prevents me from spilling the beans too early. Nevertheless, if what we’ve heard turns out to be true, the virtual console is about to become a lot more interesting and looks like it might turn out to be much more valuable to dedicated retro gamers than we first thought.”

First thing that comes to mind would be Goldeneye 64 and hopefully with online multi-player, but that would be too goog to be true, so we can rule that out.
Anyone got any guesses?

Chrono Trigger

EDIT: LAFFO nintendo64 is retro? it's only been 10 something years since it came out somewhat barely maybe sorta slightly yeah.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #311 on:** December 05, 2006, 06:11:33 AM »

Well it could be Neo Geo games, or Nintendo/Sega Arcade games. Eathbound? Enhaced* Classic games in addition to the untouched originals.

I'm throwing my hat in the 'Goldeneye' ring. What else have people been asking for over the past 10 years? And I'm sure many people here are familiar with the many atempts to bring it out as a mod using various gaming engines, the most recent using the Source Engine.

What a coup if Goldeneye had online multiplayer. I'd be spastic. Of course, it would be better if the Wii-mote worked with it, but I won't be picky.

JonLeung · « **Reply #315 on:** December 05, 2006, 06:37:24 AM »

When they say things like "the virtual console is about to become a lot more interesting" I hope it's more than just one game (no matter how great) or even a series. Because unless you're a fan of that particular game or series, it doesn't really make the VC that much more interesting. Of course we're picking at semantics here but I wouldn't say it like that unless it meant some kind of new feature overall.

Like online multiplayer. How hard would it be for some "blanket" emulator feature to accept input from another person's online Wii as the 2P input? Seriously! Yet that simple thing would make a lot of games much more fun.

Maybe a whole new console. Neo-Geo and arcade games do sound like good choices but you'd think the "retro community" wouldn't be averse to using MAME because they don't have a legal alternative. Unless they're saying that this is the legal alternative they've been waiting for, but arcade purists will probably want a classic joystick then.

But there were Arcade Joysticks for the GC and I'm sure there will be Arcade Joysticks to attach to the Wiimote soon too.

Um, yeah, good luck keeping everyone's game in sync without programming game-specific lag-compensation.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #318 on:** December 05, 2006, 06:53:52 AM »

I'm going to argue on the idea of online multiplayer simply because I don't think Nintendo is ready yet. I believe online multiplayer will debut with Wii games before it debuts on VC.

My guess is that it will turn out to be nothing, but if something does come of this rumour...let's see. I don't think Chrono Trigger or any other rare but actually released game is valuable to retro gamers. To me it would have to be a new system (Neo Geo) or a game that never saw the light of day in North America. I shouldn't dare to dream, but...Sin and Punishment or Mother?</fantasy>

Edit: Or perhaps it will be some type of feature. A library listing all possible VC games?

The ability to organize your games in subchannels (e.g., all SNES games in an SNES channel). o:

Or maybe the ability to customize games' button mappings. O:

decoyman · « **Reply #321 on:** December 05, 2006, 07:01:44 AM »

I tend to think it must be either:
1. A series appearing on VC that hasn't been revisited for a long time, such as Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana. OR
2. An unreleased (but nearly finished) game, such as Mother 3.

But blanket online play for VC games would be pretty cool too, though i'm not sure it's technically feasible.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #322 on:** December 05, 2006, 07:03:39 AM »

Mother 3 was completed and has been out in Japan for a while now...

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #323 on:** December 05, 2006, 07:03:53 AM »

screw all that, it's NGage coming to rock the Wii house.

Rhoq · « **Reply #324 on:** December 05, 2006, 07:24:04 AM »

I'm going to guess that it's not a game per se, but support for additional systems on the virtual console (ie. ColecoVision, Intellivision, Commodore 64 and maybe even Atari 2600).
