Only two games again.
Though Vice Project Doom was never released on the Wii or Wii U Virtual Console so it's actually cool to see something "new".

Japan got something besides Vice Project Doom, even though VPD did come out in Japan.



Japan's getting Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundokai

Kung-Fu Heroes and Vice: Project Doom will be out on August 21.

I haven't heard of either of these games. Did anyone expect these two to get added?

My fingers are crossed for an exciting expansion of this program with the 1-year anniversary next month.

Darn it I was a min too late making my thread.

Project doom looks pretty decent IMO.

But I hope we get an SP of something too as it's only 2 games

Ooh Vice is a good shout, nice underrated action gem on the system.

The other game...err well blimey, heh. Also yeah two games is super stingy, shame how often we've gotten that.

Ehhhh at least one of them is a NES game that never appeared on Virtual Console or in a NES classic??

I mean, that's all I got to say about anything positive towards Nintendo's NES online library service.

The Kunio-kun game is Soreyuke Daiundoukai.

It is freaking awesome. I wish they'd make a new one in its vein instead of always going for River City Ransom vibes.

Good to see some niche games I've never played before. Gotta think another platform being announced is just around the corner with renewals due next month. Hoping for GB(A) but would be satisfied with SNES too.

Nintendo of America video:



Vice: Project Doom is a trip of a multiple-genre action game. Kung-Fu Heroes, otoh... meh.

Meanwhile, the system's Famicom app (which all NSO subscribers can access, regardless of native region) skips Vice: Project Doom in favor of...



That Technos Japan game, if you're wondering, is Downtown Nekketsu Kōshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundōkai. I've never played this one. Four-player versus action using the Kunio-kun characters you'll likely recognize from such hits as River City Ransom. The language barrier seems pretty intense.

(thank you mods for moving this post to the appropriate thread!)

Vice Project Doom is 4 stars according to Pat Contri's NES guidebooks, so that's something

Yo; I didn't expect us to get Vice. That's neat.

But please; we know SNES is coming eventually; just give it to us next Direct. September is the perfect time.

Vice Project Doom is really fucking good and I wish they'd been doing more than 3 updates every however goddamn long it takes because I've been fucking WAITING for that shit I tell you what.

I can play Earthbound on my WiiU if I really wanted to, but I don't because who has time for a silly RPG in this economy

Nintendo throwing a curve ball. If they go with oddball games like this they could extend NES support for way longer than expected

Earthbound Beginnings is about the only NES game left that I want to see on the platform. Otherwise I am ready for them to move onto SNES games.

Vice is very good, and I do actually enjoy Kung Fu Heroes. This a pretty good month for me for NES games I would say.

Yo Vice is actually on my to play list, that's a nice surprise. If they continue with Kunio next month maybe we'll get Crash 'n The Boys too.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
They've actually made a few more and some have gotten localized. The last one (I think) was this on PS3 and it's really good, with a story mode with character creator and all

Am I the only one that liked King Fu Heroes as a kid? I could never beat it but I always liked playing co-op in it.

is there any chance we'll ever get earthbound beginning or fire emblem 1 2 or 3 (translated)?
that would make me happy
