Testing Out The Wii Virtual Console

A

Aprilsrain

So, I wanted to check it out, because this is one of those things that's going to rock the socks off for the classic gamers. There's only a few games up right now, so I got one just to check it out.

The game I started to play was F Zero because I remember that game being sweet for the SNES. Now this game feels a little smoother with the controls and mroe responsive than it used to, but it's mostlly unchanged. Best is the download took a matter of seconds. Nintendo really scored with this service.

Here's the catch: It'll tell you you need the "Wii Classic Controller" to play.

The truth is, as long as you have a game cube controller to plug in, you're okay. Oh, and I tested out my game cube games in the system, it works fine too.

The Wii is the ultimate in oldschool gaming now. Back to your regularly scheduled Zelda.

Oh really? I didn't know new games came out mondays. That's awesome. Something to look forward to when I get home from work tonight.
 
How is F-zero though? the last time I broke it out on the Snes... it was not as pretty as I remembered it.

It just didn't have the feel... I used to play that game all the time.... but it seemed like lines were running through the shield recharge area... the graphics weren't as clean as I remembered them..etc. I bought the game new 3 years ago... it was one of the players choice versions... BUT I was wondering if I got a bunk copy or something or if that's just how it was and I thought it was better than it was back then..



Bv :hat
 
Yes, uh, yeah.

I've been telling you guys since May and you didn't believe me. Wii wins this gen.

I still have F-Zero SNES. It is great. Not worth more than a few dollars though.

The 360 had too much of a head start.

360 won't even touch the worldwide sales of Wii.

Ready to place another wager?

LOL. For one, Microsoft will not penetrate Japan, where the Wii will have DS level success there.

Wii is already amazingly hot item in the USA (hardest sell point), and I anticipate the same for Europe.

And it won't be you who's taking the money. It'll be my wallet that'll be getting fatter.
 
Sartori's right Strubes. You already lost the first bet... let's not add insult to injury ok? :lol
