Why dont they do (now I havent played Lylat wars) a week where they release there top selling games. Like SMB2/SMB3 or MK2/MK3 or Sonic Knuckles (or any sonic where you can speed by yourself)

Retr0gamer · 13-04-2007 3:07pm

Probably because they would be in danger of making me happy.

Mr E · 13-04-2007 5:06pm

They have a huge library of games, so I guess if they released all the great games now, they'd be stuck releasing crap like Pacman 12 months from now.

Err... wait....

What's wrong with packman?!?

Obviously never played Pac-Attack

Mr E · 19-04-2007 9:18am

So kids, are we going to be flying around the Lylat system about 15 hours from now?

Star Lord · 19-04-2007 10:36am

TmB if you've just jinxed it, so help me god...

lol

Welcome everyone to the weekly thursday b*tching about Nintendo session on the Virtual Console Thread. Todays topic, as per usual, is are we ever going to get lylat wars?

If we do get it this week I will be slightly annoyed. You see the play I'm in has just started and therefore I won't be able to give this a proper go until the weekend.

Too true. I think Lylatwars is the only thing that could draw me back to my Wii at the moment... even Streets of Rage has lost its lustre. That said, this drought has caused me reinvigorate old hobbies so it's not all bad.

I want to be barrel rolling by midnight.

Retr0gamer · 19-04-2007 10:34pm

I'm all hyped up after the play and in the mood for some barrel rolling.

Kanney · 19-04-2007 11:03pm

SMB2 please.

Mr E · 20-04-2007 12:03am

Donkey Kong Jr Maths....

... and Lylat Wars!

Rhyme · 20-04-2007 12:08am

Quiet! I hear something... oh yeah, it's the Virtual Console download screen telling me that Lylatwars has finished downloading. Never has the sound of Mario collecting coins brought so much joy to my heart. I take back most of what i've said against Nintendo, this was worth waiting for. If you're reading this and you've not downloaded Lylatwars, you should be downloading it... if you have then go and play it. If you can't, buy some Wii points.

...oh yeah, there was some other game too. Some sh*t about math and apes.

EDIT: Beaten... damn.

monkeyfudge · 20-04-2007 12:11am

Simian mathematics, you say? Interesting...

Retr0gamer · 20-04-2007 1:55am

What a rather enjoyable game of lylat wars. Damn you nintendo for making me love you again.

Basq · 20-04-2007 8:40am

Welll... arsebiscuits.. only 400 points in my account! :eek:

And i'm going to work now!

Oh how you mock me, cruel fate!

smokingman · 20-04-2007 9:04am

Smokingman disco dances, pointing fingers in the air, wearing white flares and struts his stuff!:D :cool:

Smokingman also stays awake playing Lylat Wars 64 and nearly misses work this morning because of being absolutely shattered but went to work with a smile on his face nonetheless.

Mitch Connor · 20-04-2007 9:07am

where do i get poinst to buy these downloads - can i just use my credit card?

Mr E · 20-04-2007 9:51am

Yep, in the shopping channel, there is a button to buy points. Select it, enter your credit card details, and you're away.

donkey 2002 · 20-04-2007 10:55am

Pilotwings please.

Oh god yes please! I want to shoot missiles at that metal robot coming out of the sea at least five hundred thousand more times! - the only flight sim (kinda) that I've ever loved.

Retr0gamer · 20-04-2007 12:33pm

Beetle Adventure Racing is currently being rerated. That is an excellent arcade racer that was neglected on release.

Sega have announced Streets of Rage 2 and Toejam and Earl 2 for the VC today \o/

Toejam and Earl 2 is a completely different and infinitely better game than the first one iirc.

I still have the cart of that - it was a pretty cool game back in the day with all the shortcuts and the speed of it later on - wonder how it's aged....

Paper mario? Waverace? Majora's Mask? N64-wise anyway...

EXCELLENT!!!
I still have the cart of this, and gave it a blast with my brother not that long ago! Only things letting it down IMHO are a dodgy framerate, and it could have used a few more courses... but Love++ for Beetle Adventure Racing...

Oh, and I too have only 400 points... and won't be near my Wii all weekend...

The_B_Man · 20-04-2007 4:34pm

lol i've been playing Lylat Wars on me modded XBOX for the last ages! the game rocks! i've also gotten addicted to Super Mario World on the SNES on it too. God Bless emulators!

Also, Is streets of rage 2 better than 3? I've been playin 3 for the last while but havent even loaded up 2.

brainiac · 20-04-2007 9:16pm

Id like to see the original Mario Party.

But it's not perfect on the xbox. Bloody annoys me for some reason when emulation isn't pixel perfect.

There's not much difference between SoR 2 and 3 but 2 is slightly better and has a better soundtrack.

Kanney · 20-04-2007 11:06pm

I preferred SoR 2... U.S got that today.

Mr E · 23-04-2007 5:14pm

Couple of nice ones in the US today....

Gradius III (SNES)
Wonderboy in Monster World (Megadrive)

whitetrash · 23-04-2007 5:21pm

Did the snes *just* have scrolling shooters?

How about some unirally or zombies ate my neighbours or pilotwings?

The snes was actually pretty bad for scrolling shooters with the megadrive having a whole lot more. Still I love them so can't get enough

what few that came out on the SNES were usually brilliant. Bring on Axelay and Super Aleste.

Antamojo · 23-04-2007 10:09pm

I want Turok!!

Nick_oliveri · 24-04-2007 3:35pm

Tee hee hee! Had this for a couple of weeks, havent played it much. I take it that its good then??

Good, but not as good as its predecessor, Wonderboy in Monster Land IMHO...

Mr E · 27-04-2007 12:05am

This weeks games....

Battle Lode Runner (TG16)
Final Fight (SNES)
Mighty Bombjack (NES)

- Apparently a classic, meh.
- I distinctly remember this being awesome, Mayor Haggar rocks.
- meh x2 (unless someone wants to correct me)

Retr0gamer · 27-04-2007 12:17am

Very disappointing considering the US releases.

Mighty Bombjack: decent but aged.

Battle loderunner: Surprisingly good fun.

Final Fight: Horrendous conversion of the original classic.

Rhyme · 04-05-2007 12:39am

Anyone else having trouble getting into the Shop Channel tonight?

I've been trying on and off for the last hour and i'm getting nothing.

Retr0gamer · 04-05-2007 12:51am

Just tried a minute ago and got on.

Tonights releases:

Alex Kidd and the enchanted castle: Supposedly good.
Woderboy in Monsterland: Supposedly excellent
Shockman: Supposedly good (check out the hardcore gaming 101 website just to be sure)
Virtua Fighter 2: Megadrive version. Not worth the steam off my piss.

Not worth getting back out of bed for imo.

Retr0gamer · 04-05-2007 12:54am

Seems shockman is worth a gander.

koneko · 04-05-2007 9:26am

Owman, I'm so tempted to get Alex Kidd for the nostalgia. Loved that game. I've got plenty of points waiting to be used. Mmmmm.

NES Open Tournament Golf
Ninja Spirit

Before my eyes could fully adjust to the screen i swear i saw 'Ninja Golf' and thought of this. Sadly, no.

I've never played Open Tournament and never heard of Ninja Spirit, anyone else?

donkey 2002 · 11-05-2007 12:08am

i enjoyed ninja spirit the golf is a miss for me

Retr0gamer · 11-05-2007 12:38am

It's by IREM so I'll give it the benifit of the doubt for the time being.

brainiac · 11-05-2007 12:53pm

Ah theyre useless.

Retr0gamer · 11-05-2007 3:00pm

Actually Ninja Spirit is supposedly brilliant.

smokingman · 16-05-2007 11:31am
