Support NeoGAF

[Robin64]

According to Eurogamer, this version won't have Gamepad support just yet and will be added "later".

 

[Neon_Icarus]

i am certain we will see at least one complaint on miiverse, wether its someone genuinely with a 50hz only tv or a troll thinking they're being clever we'll never know

Yeah, let's just hope the complaint(s) won't be enough to send NoE back to the 50hz-only dark ages.

very surprising and not sure if i believe it, could be getting mixed up with the stuff about the vc not launching til spring

Wait, so how do I play it then? Unless it just means off-TV play and I can use the gamepad as a controller still.

 

[Coolwhip]

Will buy the 60hz version then! Woop.

 

[frankie_baby]

Yeah, let's just hope the complaint(s) won't be enough to send NoE back to the 50hz-only dark ages.

i'm actually wondering if the wii u actually sends info back to nintendo about what kind of tv its hooked up to?

I think they are saying the Wii VC version will have gamepad play updated later.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Aren't they pretty much the same thing in the end though?

I do remember renting the SNES version. Then I didn't play the GBA one until it was released as the ambassador game. I reminded me of what I played when I was younger and the GBA one felt similar. Do they not in the end and I'm looking at this wrong?

I really liked the SNES version...played the GBA version on my 3DS and it just didn't feel right to me at all.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

FUCK.
EVERYONE BUY THE GAME!
WE NEED A NEW ONE AT ANY COST!
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!
30 CENTS IS NOTHING. EVEN CANDY COSTS MORE!!
GNRSPLGTOSBDHOSEHRSDS!!!"·"$·"$·%$%

Pfft, I'm not buying this again. They are not tricking me again.

 

[-PXG-]

Oh yes. Oh fuck yes. Childhood memories. Buyying the fuck outta this

At what time is the European store updated usually?

 

[frankie_baby]

At what time is the European store updated usually?

very stealthily, any time or day

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

Pretty much what it's worth nowadays considering what a boring and outdated game it has become.

 

[KeeSomething]

Every time I play a F-Zero game, my penis gets really hard.

 

[jet1911]

Should have been F-Zero X

 

[KeeSomething]

Should have been F-Zero X

Yeah, that game makes me wet!

 

[frankie_baby]

Pretty much what it's worth nowadays considering what a boring and outdated game it has become.

i'd happily pay 40 times that amount

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

i'd happily pay 40 times that amount

Yup. That's called nostalgia.

 

[Flame Lord]

Cool; never played it before.

 

[-Amon-]

For me that's the best F-zero around, but it's probably nostalgia

 

[frankie_baby]

Yup. That's called nostalgia.

no its called f-zero

 

[meppi]

Pretty much what it's worth nowadays considering what a boring and outdated game it has become.

Bah, what's even the point in arguing with something like this?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I hope everybody buys it so we can trick them into making an excellent sequel like we did with Sin & Punishment.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Is wednesday the usual day for US eshop update? On EU eshop it says that the Balloon Fight deal is offeres 'till the 21st, so I expect it to be replaced by F-Zero tomorrow (can't wait).

 

[Robin64]

Eurogamer have now removed the line about no Gamepad off-TV play. Looks like it was just confusion. Hooray!

1400 GMT

Check the OP. Balloon Fight is supposed to be up until tomorrow but F-Zero is scheduled for 20th. Thursday is the regular update time, then you'll get the rest of the stuff.

 

[radcliff]

I honestly hate that the VC library is going to have this trickle release schedule again just like Wii and it's started from nothing again.

Just put out everything that is already on the Wii VC for fuck's sake Nintendo.

And before the predictable "bubububu u can still play those gaems in wii mode dur dur", the aspect ratio is fucked in Wii mode thanks to the HD upscaling and cropping preventing us from getting a proper 4:3 aspect ratio on those games.

I can play my Wii VC games on Wii U in 4:3 with no problem at all. I just go to the "screen settings" option on my TV and change it from "widescreen" to "normal." Your TV doesn't give you similar options?

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

OP doesn't adress the different regions though and I assumed it is US centric.

 

[jooso]

Every time I play a F-Zero game, my penis gets really hard.

Yeah, that game makes me wet!

soooo which one is it

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Shouldn't this be up by now? I think Balloon Fight may have been 3pm so maybe another hour.

oh come on

Eurogamer have now removed the line about no Gamepad off-TV play. Looks like it was just confusion. Hooray!

oh

 

[DjRoomba]

I have not much interest in ancient games but I guess I will still buy all this crap for 30c. Ive bought worse for my ipod for a little more..

[Projectjustice]

Is it out in NA yet?

 

[Eric C]

The dates are the same across all regions. Though Japan does get a different game this month and next month.

Last month's deal expires the day AFTER the new deal starts.

F-ZERO is supposed to be up sometime today, the 20th. When today? I don't know. Is it up on the Europe/UK shops yet?

 

[BigAT]

The WiiU VC and Wii VC are separate things, correct? As only an owner of a Wii, I can't get this for $0.30?

 

[prag16]

Gotta build up that F-Zero WiiUX and F-Zero 3DX hype Nintendo!



or not =\

It's possible...

F-Zero was featured in Nintendoland, and now this VC release...

...Though the same can be said for Balloon Trip. Upcoming "Balloon Trip U" CONFIRMED.

 

[CrankyJay]

Lots of great childhood memories with this game, and SNES games in general.

Nope. Its a Wii U promo.

 

[Chrom]

Is it out in NA yet?

Don't think so, no.

 

[Sir Abacus]

i am certain we will see at least one complaint on miiverse, wether its someone genuinely with a 50hz only tv or a troll thinking they're being clever we'll never know

It starts.

 

[AirBrian]

I picked up Balloon Blast and haven't even touched it yet. F-Zero will be the exact opposite.

There's actually a good selection coming up for this promotion.

[BruiserBear]

Definitely picking this game up tonight. Remember getting so hooked on it in the early days of the SNES. Looked amazing for it's time, and is still fun to play.

 

[panama chief]

...time to finally get that wii u.....

 

[Tim-E]

I hope tons of people buy this and bomb the Miiverse page asking for a new entry in the series. Give it to Monster Games!

 

[evanmisha]

It starts.

Uh... wow.

 

[BolognaSoup]

NIIIIIICE!!! Tonight is going to be so fun between Sony and playing this.

 

[meppi]

It starts.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Not because Nintendo doesn't want us to, but because of mouthbreathers like this.

 

[dark_prinny]

It starts.

What a disgusting piece of meat.
