I can see Doom 64 being relesed for VC, and I would totaly get it that day too.


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.

truth be told I actually got an N64 launch day and then took it back very next day to use money and buy a drum set. I was like 13 at the time maybe 14. Hd to sell drums when we moved across the coutnry though so not a very good deal and didn't get another 64 till 18th B-day 1 year before GC release.

Ok I had to leave earlier but I am back now. Even if yo own the actual program ona fixed media you can only make a back up of that program using the same media. Nes roms can only be backed up on NES carts legally.

Even Nintendo couldnt fight this. BUT who in the world has access to NES Rom burners? Transfering the Roms to a PC and running them in a program that ISNT the original NES hardware is still illegal.

I have reported Ebay auctioners to Nintendo for copyright infringement and other people as well, not just Nintendo but anytime I see infrginement I report it as a service to the IP owner. I would ask the same courtesy regarding my own IP.


and FYI I actually sat down and had negociations with NOA reps regaring the liscening of thier IP for a (then called Revolution) Promotional Soundtrack CD, part of why that never happened is Nintendo told me they are VERY picky about their IP as it is VERY valuable so they are super strickt on who they liscense thier stuff too. I got truned down cuz I was a small company and didnt have any way of disctributing the Cds without thier funding which they were,understandabley, willing to commit to. SO I am fully aware of how serious they take thier IP.

Although I doubt they woudl go after the individual downloading the Roms I am certian they would destroy person or entity providing the Roms for DL. So if your thinking of distributing Roms illegaly think twice.

no sir all they added was a second 68000 and battery back up ram.


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!!!!

Well Ethical illegal or immoral it matters to some. I might not always show it but i am a crhistain and I do have high morals.



But I dont hold anyone else to that.


The fact is downloading roms is stealing money form a developer and that is one reason nto to do it.

I own a Record Company and I think I understand alot more about Intellectualy Property and Copyright laws than just average joe internet gamer who thinks its ok cuz its just a game or whatever excuse he uses.

If you want t try out a game, you can rent thatgame or barrow it from someone, youd ont Dl entire GC games to see if you liek them do you?

Thats a weak example and doesnt hold much clout.

that wasnt even my point yet it seams this discussion has gotten of track and onto copyright laws.


Nintendo HAS shut down several rom sites and has been fighting the stealing of their IP for years.


As a copyright owner I agree fully with the protections put forth in our laws that protect me from damages. Maybe you didn't knwo this but the MINIMUM fine for Coprytight infringment is $500,000 and up to five years in prison MINIMUM. Nintendo has gone out of thier way to shut down rom sites, I think they will go out of thier way to shot somone from stealing thier roms s it hurts them in the long run.  


I got more I could say but I gotta go ill be back latter.

>>few select other titels<<


I guess you miseed that,. I didnt feel the need to name the obvious. If I liekd Melle why wouldnt I like the original?

Again I wasnt trying to make an arugment but nwo that its settled into a reasoanble discussion I am content with furthering my view.


I had 2o N64 games, I cant list them all, and I have had over 30 gc games so I havent been totally disapointed.

and I never said I dont like Wii I said I dont like the new style of gaems it is bringing. Same with DS I only buy traditional games for that as well.


I did like Wii Sports so far so lieki said before there is still hope it will get better, juts the list on the front page that started this discussion isnt impressive, to me.

I DO think it is promising that thrid parties are suporoting Wii, I think I said that before, I just dont think the list of games being announced so far is very promising.


Dont get me wrong I am very satisfied overal with my GC yet tehre were times when I felt like giving up on it cuz game after game I wanted to play wouldnt come to it.

My cash flow fluctuates and sometiems I have ass loads of cash and other tiems Im broker than a coke smoker

so I dont usualy suprot multiple game systems. Last gen I had no choice but to gowith Nintendo as I developed utter hatred for PS and it took MS a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to get enough game s on it I liked and by then I was knee deep in GC.

All the suppor tin the world wont translate into diddly squat if the companies I want to make games for it dont make the games I want to play. So far the games I want to play havent been announced and nothign along those lines has either.

Red Steel I havent tried, I plan on getting either that or COD3 tomarrow or over the weekend at least.

Its just hard to get too excited for games I woudl liek to see come. Maybe it will help if I am more specific.


If QUAKE doesnt get made for Wii considering the success of Red Steel and that it is a curent gen game and DC games got ported to GC early on then I will be pissed. Same with Doom. Heres why. N64 got Quake and Doom and exclusive versions even.


GC didnt get squat.

Wii is tailor made for those two games and the devs who make them havent said anything that elads me to beleive they will be made.


Capcom hasnt pledge much of anything I care about yet, IF Street Fighter makes it ti Wii and transates well then I will be happy, if not again ill be disapointed. I was so utterely owrried fighting gaems woudnt work withe Wii mtoe my first gaem was a fighting game, and I am honestly surpised at how well it does work.


So if DBZ sells well and Capcom pledges support for the Wii and still doesnt maek SF I will agian feel let down, after all they wont have any excuses.

I just want to see games that I kjnwo I will play get made for it instead of PS3 and 360. So far 360 has three or four games all 3rd party and all of which are suporting wii game sthat I really wanna play, yet they havent been annoucned as ports yet.

Why the wait? I visit Sega.com daily and all I see is PS3 after Ps3 announcment and no love for Wii.

Granted Sega is the best example, maybe not to those here anyways, but they are my favorite dev and have never let me down games wise.

So bottom line, READ THIS ITS THE WHOLE POINT.

I KNOW I will be satisfied with SSBBrawl, and Metroid Prime 3

everything else announced I am unsure of, BUT if there is NO Quake, NO Doom, NO SF, No House of the Dead, as they are all tailor made for Wii, there is NO excuse to not make these games, then I am going to be upset. Not to the point of abandoing it as it DOES haev one quality (which IS the major selling point for me so far) adn that is VC, AS long as that gets suport Ill be content.

Does that explain it better? Please dont take offence I am not trying to argue I am trying to have a discussion and share my views, Its hard for me to get too excited after so many let downs recently. Is that fair enough? If Quake gets made for Wii and Chrome hounds and Doom then Ill be singingits praises till next gen. or at least be satiosfied enough to keep going.

See that is where I differ from others I guess, I dont care if Nintendo is first or last,m I care if they get games I wanna play and thast it. I play games I like not games Nintendo tells me too, and I have always been more interested in 3rd partys tuff than nintendo stuff (id say crap but I'd get flamed for that)

Last Gen Nintendo themselves made 2 games I liked SSBM and Metroid Prime, the only other Ninty publsihged gaem i gave a crap about was Star Fox Adventures well ok Mario aprty 4 but that didnt last long allt he otehrs I hated.

I didnt get N64 for Nintendo gaems either, Mario 64 and OOT were it, I got it for Shadows of the Empire, MK 4 and Castelvania 64 anda  few select other titels.


It matters a lot to me because SNES I had no problem finding the games I wanted, even if they were on Genesis Snes had good versions too, even if they were SNES exclusives there were plenty of good games to chose from.


But N64 and GC had very little to keep me playing. I love GC to death and play it regualry, it had JUST enough to keep me going, and SF adventures is ranked my all time favorite game right now so that means someting to me.

I just really hope that they get a better selection of games this time around, we got ZERO STreet FIghter, Virtua FIghter, Tekken or Marvel VS games. Ps2 got all those and many sequels, classic collectiosn and brand spankin new Smaurai Showdowns. Wii isnt going yto get those games and that still worries me.

I see MK is on the horizons but thast not news Midway LOVES Nintendo always have.


Try and see where I am coming from, half the games I wanterd to play were announced for GC and canceled or kept as PS2 exclusives whent hey could have sold on GC, maybe not steller but enough to pay them back.


Sure companies will see money from Wii and liekly continue to support it, but it will continue to be the suport we see now, oroginal wii remote titels (not interested thank you) and GC sequels with wiimote controls (stil not interested)

I want Virtua Fighter, I want House of the Dead, I want QUAKE, Area 51, Doom, Unreal Tournament, Crhome Hounds, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Art of Fighting, World Heroes, Samarai SHowdown, Capcom Classic Collection, and games alongthose lines.


With Wii mote there is hope for doom, quake, UT, etc, but nothing has changed regarding fighting games. GC got a lot of DBZ love.

Midway will save Mk for Midways Arcade Treasues Wii rest assured of that. BUT if they do release a console version the Genesis would be the way to go not snes. OR better yet Sega CD. I hope they eventualy add Sega CD support cuz all it is is Sega Genesis hardware on cd format. Nothing new to emulate.  

EDIT

Batter yet they could have Sega CD, Turbo CD and Neo Geo CD as added Wii channels, just have the emulators for DL and insert your actualy disk into the drive, that would ROCK!

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Why I Plan on Re-Buying All My Old School Games on VC

« on: November 30, 2006, 02:04:08 AM »

>>- All of them can be gotten for free online<<

not legally.


have any of you peopel complaining about the prices even tried looking for old NES or SNES games? they never ever go for this cheap except the crappy games. Nintendo did thier homework I think the prices are absolutley perfect. If its too much for you to pay then dont pay it. I prmise you that a lot of these games wont ever be found for as cheap as they go for on VC.


Virtual Console is primarily for collectors and people who grew up with these games, they will buy what games they played for nastalgia sake alone.

In general when shopping used games here is how the prices usually go, for NES yo pay between five and eight dollars for regular games, up to ten dollars for the good stuff even those that arent rare, and more for rare games.


So far Mario Bros is theonly NES game released on VC that is rare. a Cart copy of that game isnt as low as five dollars anywhere I have seen it, hell the Atari 2600 versions was five dollars.

Genesis and SNES games start at six to eight dollars for the crap and go up from there.

MOST N64 games yo find worth buying will be eight, ten or twelve dolalrs and the really good ones 20-30 even still today. Try getting Mario 64 for ten dollars ata used game store or on ebay. Sometimes you will get lucky but not often.

As a collector myself these prices are more than barelbley they are perfect. Heck look at NES Zelda, that game usually goes for ten dollars on its own.

Either way none of those FF or KH will be on 07 so thast all offtopic anyways.


I would like to think that Chrome Hounds and Dead Rising could be ported to Wii and hopefully before next christmas. That would make my day. That way I dont haev to worry about getting a 360 anytime soon cuz other wise I might just have to.

>>These games are really old and the cost to develop them were pretty cheap relative to today<<


I dont knwo about that, many old school devs, Midway, Atari, Activison, claim costs are relative today as they have always been.


Also yo cant say for sure every single one of these games ahs been paid for, several of these games infact flopped upon initial release and this is likely a way to try and recoup old looses, I know for sure Sega has some old debs to recoup)


Plus you are forgetting that they are offering Free online play and wiiconnect24 and other online services that are costing them out the ass and they need to cover those costs as well.


Plus if you are ionto collecting old games at all you will find that the really good NES, SNEs and Genesis games can cost as high as 20 dollars or more. Turbo Grafix games are rare as hell and can cost a bit for the good oens too.


N64 games range from 10 to 15 dolalrs every where I find them and even higher for the Mario stuff. 10 for Mario 64 is s good deal and anything less than fiffty for Mario RPG is a rare thing, check ebay its a friggin hard game to get a hold of for a reasonable price.

I personally LOVE the VC it makes collecting old gamee so much cheaper and easier. I just wish there was a way to save them onto carts and plug them into my odl systems. that would rock.

Ok see I dint know we were talking exlcusives I thought you ment 3rd padrty in general. Exlclusives never crossed my mind. by bad sorryf or the confussion.


Still I agree that it is promising KNOW but the point I made was repeated by the replies abut deals falling through, simpley put I am not going to take any announced game as definate till I see the gameina store, GC tought me that.

I wish I wasnt so sceptical I really would like to have the faith some of you do, its just comeon after N64 and GC its hard especially when the 3rd party gaems we are seeing are just GC sequels. Red Steel is the ONLY game non-nintendo that is original. Everything else is either direct sequel or spinoff or both.


But I will step down I dont want to make this into an argument and I am sorry I got off to a bad start. Iguiess I am still pissed that Online istn coming for a while event hough thatw as the big promise.

So since you were speaking of exlcusives didnt occur to anyone that GCs ONLY online games were made by non other than Sega. yeah thats support baby.
