I don't want the Olympics level brought back if that happens. Dodge Ball on the other hand...

Here's something I thought over when playing Star Fox on my SNES. I think the reason Nintendo has taken a long time is due to this game being Seizure Hell. The first boss being defeated can cause a seizure alone.

That's just a guess though.

Once again, Super FX Chip=emulation problems, allegedly. Of course, Nintendo could probably solve those problems easily if they gave a damn, but it's Virtual Console and most of the games that used the Super FX Chip were 3rd party titles. Of course they don't give a damn.

There are only 7 games total which use the Super FX chip, so it isn't like we're missing out on much without it.

When 4 of those 7 games are actually pretty notable (Star Fox, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man X2, and Mega Man X3), it certainly looks to me like we are. Granted, you should be playing X2 and X3 on the Mega Man X Collection, though.

Mega Man X2 and X3 do not use the Super FX chip, they used a chip called Cx4. It would probably still pose a problem with emulation, though.

I don't understand what kind of appeal Star Fox would have today, to me it seems like a game which didn't age well. I haven't played it, but I have played some other 3D games on the Super NES and they are rather unplayable.

Really? That must be a common misconception or something, because I could have sworn even Nintendo Power back in the day said it used the second generation of the Super FX Chip for the wireframe Sigma battle in X2.

Whatever its faults, it's still better than any Star Fox game we've gotten since SF64. I'll take what I can get if Nintendo continues to ignore the franchise.

My guess on that would be, it might have been based on the same technology as the Super FX chip, and Nintendo Power compared it to that chip? I'm not sure.

There's an article containing all of the enhancement chips for the Super Nintendo. I wonder how many of them prove difficult in emulation...

I thought Dirt Racer was the PAL name for Dirt Trax but I might be wrong on that. If they aren't the same then there were eight released games.

EDIT: I looked it up, they are not the same. My bad.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #84 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:47:32 PM »

Well there were only 7 games released in the US so you were kinda right.

Mop it up · « **Reply #85 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:51:40 PM »

I don't think Winter Gold was released in the US.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #86 on:** February 19, 2010, 07:55:43 PM »

But was FX Skiiing?

Mop it up · « **Reply #87 on:** February 19, 2010, 08:00:54 PM »

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. There is no game titled "FX Skiing" on GameFAQs.

Mortal Kombat II (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES, GEN, Arcade)

Has the Happy VideoGame Nerd released anything recently? I think that last time I checked he had only done 3 videos. All of them make me want to try the games and I wish they would come to the VC so I could try them.

Mortal Kombat (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Mortal Kombat II (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (SNES, GEN, Arcade)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (N64)
Mortal Kombat 4 (N64, Arcade)

Considering that Midway Games said way back in March 2007 that they would release Mortal Kombat games on the VC, these are especially annoying that they haven't been released.

The ones after that could be trouble though due to licensing issues, I do hope they eventually make it though.

Star Fox 2... now there is a game that could make a WiiWare release, just keep the Command team away from it.

How was that Ecco game for dreamcast? That story really sparked my interest, as I loved both Ecco games on the Genesis. Such creepy games, with creppy music.

Has Ecco Defender of the Future been released anywhere outside of Dreamcast?

I don't believe so, but the PS3 is supposed to be getting Dreamcast games on PSN later this year, so it may show up on that.

I thought this a few days ago, but I don't think I said it: Genesis NHL games. Any of them, preferably NHL 96 since it's the one I had as a kid. They'd need to be modified, though, due to issues with player name licensing, but they edited the names out of Tecmo Bowl, so I don't see why they couldn't do the same with these.

Anyone heard of Mutant League Hockey for the Sega Genesis? I remember playing it back in the day and liking it, though I don't recall anything specific about it. I think it had some weapons that you could pick up and hit people with, and maybe a couple of other gimmicks. The game was made by Electronic Arts, so I wonder if it is something that they would revive...

Stratos · « **Reply #95 on:** February 22, 2010, 04:05:17 AM »

Isn't there a Mutant League Football game too? I didn't know there was a hockey one.

Mop it up · « **Reply #96 on:** February 22, 2010, 04:16:42 AM »

Yeah there was, I believe it came out first. I played that one too, I think there were holes on the field that players could fall into. I think they planned to create a whole series of sports with the Mutant League, but then stopped after they received poor sales.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #97 on:** February 22, 2010, 11:37:59 AM »

Mutant League was the **** back in the day. I wish they would bring it back.
That's what EA should have used to combat NFL Blitz & NHL Hitz.

You could alter the playing field, blow up players, basically turn the entire game into a warzone. I think there was suicide balls that you throw interceptions with on purpose and land mines on the field. It was great. I think it would be great to have a M rated sports series due to violence.

Acclaim ported it to the PlayStation 2 in 2002.

Could a third party developan accessory that plaugged into the wii's USB port that acted like a cartridge slot for N64 titles? Nintendo could allow a speciel channel just for the adapter. This adapter would allow games developed by Rareware to be played on the wii. However, I do not see this happening becuase someone could just buy an N64 console and play the games. I would not mind seeing this happen though.

I saw all the Rareware N64 titles for less than $15 dollars at a new game store that just opened up my city. They want $25 for the N64 console. I might check out this deal soon.
