You're not holding an L. This wannabe Virtual Console is holding an L.
Dude,
Pop'n TwinBee is a REALLY Good shmup and generally considered a cult classic.
Smash Tennis is the best 16bit tennis game there is.
I'm kinda surprised Square Enix hasn't ported the PC version of Chrono Trigger to consoles yet. They spent a lot of time fixing it.
oh boy, another thread where people bemoan the lack of marquee titles that have been released ad nauseam and shit on cool games they've never played before.
why would anyone want to play something new when they can play something they've played before
ftfy
I totally get this, but also, what if Nintendo just let people buy the marquee titles that they want to play on this particular hybrid console and then put out the more obscure stuff on this online service?
Pop'n Twinbee is dope, though. '90s Konami is pretty much unfuckwitable except for maybe Castlevania 64.
I would die if that happened. Also, I would love to play Illusion of Gaia again—it's a classic!
They don't sound familiar but then I remember seeing those game covers at the rental place as a kid when I would pass them over to rent something good.
i'm not a fan of the trickle either. but people will basically use their frustration as an excuse to shit on games they've never played-- much less heard of.
you remember seeing Pop'N'Twinbee for rent in North America when it was never released here?
Not trying to insinuate they are bad games. I look forward to playing them but it is a bit odd to get them before some of the big hits.
Edit: The only real issue I have with the service is the drip feed of games.
the drip feeding sucks but... old games are what you're going to get on the service dedicated to the NES and SNES.... lmao

I played a little Eliminator and it seems pretty good for NES racing game, with the multiple perspectives/modes in each race. Also the Tommy Chong ripoff opponent is pretty funny.
Shadow of the Ninja seems like an alright 2D action platformer. 🤷♂️
Haven't touched the SNES games yet, but a couple people seemed pretty jazzed about them. Looking forward to trying them out.
Sorry I'm not older haha

the Wii VC was actually very good despite the slow drip. probably the best of the retro catalog storefronts for any of the consoles.
So you have an issue with people wanting to play their favourite games again that aren't on the service?
Definitely my 2 most wanted... We'll never get them unfortunately.
Also, I must say even as a child of the NES I've never even heard of Shadow of the Ninja. But, I just played it for fifteen minutes and it seems really good.

Pretty much. I'm not expecting to see third party big hitters in here, but it's weird that Nintendo is saving their first party games.
Square does a lot of questionable things. FFT:WoTL, that FFIV complete on the psp, etc, would all find decent nostalgia fueled sales on PC and consoles and probably wouldn't be too much effort to port over. They could probably even outsource it. But for whatever reason, they don't.
It's a rights thing.
For one example: why would SquEnix give away FF4 or 6 for "free" when they could just sell it themselves on the eShop and get more money? (Though if they dipped into Enix titles beyond DQ for anything, old or new, that'd be grand)
Second: a lot of older games will be in a rights quagmire which, sadly means they're less likely to appear.
if you read the thread:
- I bemoan the drip feed of the system
- Throwing cool, obscure games under the bus because you want popular stuff isn't the way to go about it. It doesn't make these bad games because they're not DKC.
