It's also discussed in podcast 138

SameGame is a D/L for me and I especially like it because it looks like a good value for its price and its file size. I like having a smaller puzzle game on my Wii at all times for some quick action and this is about half the size of Maboshi.

I may get Bomberman down the line because I'd like some single player Bomberman to complement the WiiWare multiplayer-centric game.

I just have a random question that I'm sure has been asked many times already.

Do you ever think Nintendo is gonna bring Arcade Originals to the VC?
I'm sure lots of arcade games pre '95 weren't more than 64mb in size.

I think it would be interesting to see things like Dragons Lair & Gauntlet be released for it.

It would be nice but I have a feeling that XBLA would have a better chance of doing that.
Though, wasn't the Neo Geo technically an arcade machine though? My friend has one and he changes out the boards with different games he plays.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2683 on:** March 24, 2009, 10:50:13 PM »

Sorta. The game cartridges for Neo Geo were literally the same ones used in arcade machines. That is why they looks exactly the same as the arcade version and also cost $200 each.

Stratos · « **Reply #2684 on:** March 24, 2009, 10:54:34 PM »

So then can the Neo-Geo be considered an arcade platform on the VC? Because then it could possibly lead to other arcade makers like Sega or Namco to release their arcade games on the service.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #2685 on:** March 25, 2009, 03:42:26 AM »

Well, the NG is a specific platform and it has a specific input device unlike arcade cabinets where everything can have a different input.

Stratos · « **Reply #2686 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:01:26 AM »

So you wouldn't call it a brand of arcade consoles? Or is that a poor way of looking at them? I always figured that each company had their on arcade standard like how Nintendo has Wii and Microsoft has XBox. Like wasn't another arcade type called the Triforce and it was co-developed by Namco Sega and Nintendo using Gamecube tech? I get the feeling I've completely misunderstood this matter.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #2687 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:50:23 AM »

Lots of different arcade games are based off of different architectures. Sometimes there are arcade boards that are based off of the current consoles, but that's usually to help make porting it to the console that much easier down the line.

NeoGeo had their console that was basically the same as as their arcade board, and that was so they could bring their arcade games home.

Lots of arcade games were made using beefed up game boards that were based on PS2 so games could be down ported easily.
Sega made F-Zero AX on an arcade board (tri-force) that was based on the GC so that they could bring the game home - F-Zero GX.

There are so many different arcade boards out there, that each game that was going to be an Original would need a ROM dump on an emulator made for that specific game. That shouldn't be too much of a problem since each VC game comes with its own emulator attached.- which is why there is no NES channel or SNES channel or Genesis Channel

Hell, MAME can do it.

Wii and DSi Channel has been down for about 5 hours just checked and it's still down. Maybe they are coinciding something with Iwata's keynote today.

If it comes back up with New Super Mario Bros 2 on WiiWare, I will forgive them all their transgressions in 2008.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #2691 on:** March 25, 2009, 01:28:41 PM »

Flames as you might of heard.There was a new update.The SD card channel.The limit on SD cards are now 32 gig. Oh Matt from IGN said that Super Punch Out is coming Monday.

Kind of funny how everyone was just talking about the possibility of Arcade games hitting the Virtual Console earlier today and now Nintendo has just released a new Arcade section on the Virtual Console right NOW.

This should make things more interesting.

You ask and you shall recieve....?

Well more like plead and beg for most of the last two years.... but whatever it takes... right guys?

Guess we better start throwing temper tantrums about the next thing we want for Wii so that we can have it some time in 2011...
Whats next? HD upscaling? Light gun games to VC? Larger VC/WiiWare game sizes? Netflix on Wii?

maybe I should start a poll.

I want a Virtual Console DOS/PC section so that we can get old LucasArts, Apogee and Epic games. SCUMM engine FTW. Plus Crystal Caves and Commander Keen were great as well.

Also, we are already getting Netflix via disk sometime soon. That's probably the best well get considering the Wii's space issues.

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #2695 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:02:04 PM »

What arcade games are you guys looking forward to?

Me, I'm hoping to get:

Blue Print
Super Off Road
Gorf

Stratos · « **Reply #2696 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:16:04 PM »

I'd love me some Super Off Road.
The Star Wars arcade games would be nice.
Ms. Pac-man would be good as well.

AV · « **Reply #2697 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:44:35 PM »

WOOHHOOO

This opens the door to so many great On Rail Shooters. Some of the arcade ones are great.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #2698 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:46:55 PM »

Man I haven't thought about arcade games in a while.
Of the top of my head I want The TMNT Arcade game,X-men, The Simpsons.

Stratos · « **Reply #2699 on:** March 25, 2009, 04:48:30 PM »

A lot of arcade games I can recall are 3D and probably larger than the 40 meg limit. Now that there is a storage solution I wonder if the will get to see this limit raised since people have access to 32gb cards now.
