That's confirmed? So the Virtual Console update is on Tuesday?

so a day that never comes then

Costs money to make sure each game works flawlessly on the new emulator. You can still play the games as you paid for them (even on the new machine), but if you want new features then you pay a little to upgrade. That's not exactly a foreign concept anywhere in the business sphere - Nintendo or otherwise.

The Zelda Collector's Edition was so bad because Majora's Mask hardly worked on it - widespread freezing and lower FPS than intended. I'd rather Nintendo put out the effort and make sure the game works flawlessly than put it out like they did there. Also, you're thinking of the Ocarina of Time + Master Quest which came with preorders of Wind Waker. Collectors Edition was given to Nintendo Power members who did something (I forget what). OoT + MQ was a pretty nice bonus, though.

Wait, really? How the hell did I get it then? I've been wondering this for the longest time, as I just can't remember. Was it because I worked at ebGames at the time maybe?

 

[Mileena]

Super Metroid isn't going to be there right away. It's one of the Trial Campaign games, and its release date is confirmed to be May 15th.

Oh great. Nothing for me on Tuesday then. Fucking Nintendo failures.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Oh great. Nothing for me on Tuesday then. Fucking Nintendo failures.

Yeah, wait three weeks and they're selling the game for 30 cents instead of eight bucks (much as people like to complain about how Nintendo prices their games).

Such failures.

Oh, it was included in some Gamecube bundle too in addition to the Nintendo Power thing.

Please understand.

IIRC, for North America, there were three ways to get the Collector's Edition in late 2003/early 2004:

• Buy a new GameCube that came with it
• Subscribe to Nintendo Power for a year
• Register any two of the following four games on My Nintendo: Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario Party 5, 1080 Avalanche.

The third way was the way I got it.

 

[Johnny]

Any chance of them fixing the overscan issue?

 

[Like the hat?]

I really hope super Mario world is there on Tuesday, since it was shown on the ND video.

I didn't get it in any of those ways. I'm in the EU and I think I got it through the Nintendo website, by spending some of those otherwise useless stars.

Would like to know too.

Oh, yeah, what I posted is for North America. No idea how they did it in Europe.

 

[kinggroin]

Well that sucks. I don't have that day in my region. Typical Nintendo.

:-D

 

[frankie_baby]

but the fix already exists, change setting on tv, if no setting exists buy new tv

 

[Macho Madness]

That's not a fix when the PS3 and 360 don't have the same issue.

I ended up with 4 copies of that game.

I subscribed to Nintendo Power and they ended up mailing me two, I bought a GC with it and gave my old one to my brother and I registered the two games.

I gave two copies away to people, opened one and kept the last one sealed, ended up selling it.

 

[Man God]

You also needed to register the Gamecube for the third way to work.

 

[Cartman86]

Technically they do but they put the buttons and text you read farther within the frame.

sarcastic as my fix may have been doesn't change the fact that it works

Such failures.

I'm not cheap and I can afford to pay the "full price" for it to get it early. I don't understand why they can't put it up Tuesday and then make it 30 cents on their terrific sale promotion May 15th.

But at least I can finally play SMW again Tuesday :rollseyes:

[radio_apeshot]

2 Days?? How come I can't see anything on the Wii U facebook page? I am in Mexico. They just uploaded a post about that Disney game... meh.

The post is region locked, either Nintendo is bad at social media (very likely) or Virtual Console isn't launching everywhere in two days.

Yeah I don't see it either which is weird, I saw this from the site you go for Nintendo news.

I...think you're just about the only person who'd be willing to do that.

 

[FearMyWrench]

Once again, I'm seeing it on the page from Canada. Something weird is going on. http://i.imgur.com/PeQ9nnG.png

 

[Burning Justice]

I can see this one. I'm in the US.

Still can't see the 3-day one, though.

 

[Mileena]

I...think you're just about the only person who'd be willing to do that.

I've been waiting for this game to come out on 3DS or Wii U VC for a while now. I like the smaller screen for old games so they don't look so bad.

I wouldn't be bitching if there was at least something I wanna play coming on Tuesday. SM64 would have been lovely :|

 

[iyox]

Any guesses when the update will be out? Midnight? Noon? When do they tend to push these?

 

[Meelow]

Just found out that I have to be logged in to see it, you can't see it if your logged off.

*shrugs*, Super Mario World is my favorite Mario. :3 And you no like Kirby's Adventure?

You are in for a treat when Super Metroid arrives though.

 

[OutToLunch]

Likely won't be at midnight. Probably somewhere around 9 - 12PM PST.

 

[Roo]

Sorry if it's a dumb question but since I don't own any VC yet....
Do VC games only support the gamepad or I can play with the Wii U Pro?
Also, I read somewhere (maybe here in NeoGAF) that you can remap the buttons. Is that true? If so, that applies to the WUPC too or just the Gamepad?

VC games support Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Classic Controller, and, for NES games only, Wii Remote (either turned on its side or upright).

Button remapping can be done with any controller.

You should be able to play with the Pro controller just fine - as long as they are Wii U Virtual Console games (it won't work with Wii ones, for obvious reasons).

You can literally use ALL the controllers that are compatible with Wii U. And remap all of the buttons on them.

he episode originally scheduled for this week, was deemed inappropriate by NBC in light of last week's events in Boston.

 

[anaron]

Imagine surprise launching with the entire GC library.


Or just F-Zero GX.

Which is nice, because it's something you couldn't do with the Wii VC. I much prefer using B and Y for NES games instead of A and B.

I missed all the talk on the possibilities of game cube virtual console, but...

Have you all discussed the idea of HD gc games on virtual console?

Thank you so much, guys.
So glad I can use any controller and remap the buttons.
Carpe Libertatem, I know the Pro controller doesn't work with Wii VC games.
I asked this because I don't want to be recharging the gamepad too often playing VC games to be honest, I never could adjust to the Wii Classic/Classic Pro shape and button layout and since I own a WUPC, I don't have to worry about any of those things anymore

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

How do you know that there isn't? There's been no announcement of the full lineup.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

How do you know that there isn't? There's been no announcement of the full lineup.

Pretty sure there has?

At launch, the Wii U Virtual Console will feature classic Nintendo titles F-Zero, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong Jr, Excitebike, Punch Out, Super Mario World, Ice Climber, and Kirby's Adventure

 

[Drago]

I hope LttP shows up really soon. I have the Wii version but I never played it and would much rather play it directly from WiiU, primarily for gamepad.

And I really wish there was variable VC pricing. I will never pay $5 for Balloon Fight, Ice Climbers, or Excitebike (this isn't even mentioning that I have all of those on my 3DS already...)
I really really hope Nintendo does consistent VC sales. I would love that.

 

[catabarez]

So I already bought some Wii U VC games. I won't run into any trouble if I try to transfer my Wii content over right?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Pretty sure there has?

I think they're just listing the games they saw in the montage during the last direct.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

I think they're just listing the games they saw in the montage during the last direct.

Hopefully that's the case. I'd be quite disappointed if the list I provided was it.

 

[Astral/H3X]

You can actually use the Wii remote sideways for SNES games too. You just can't map EVERYTHING. But you can in fact still use them, so hey.
