Wii Virtual Console

Super Mario World and Sonic, that'll reduce you to less than 500 right there.
 
I have Sonic Master Quest and I have Super Mario World for the GBA.
 
I can only assume you mean Sonic Mega Collection....

IMO, save your points till this time next year when there'll actually be a decent selection.

America does have Link to the Past though, so I'd definitely reccomend that. Especially since we're still waiting around "hmm"ing and "aaah"ing about it.
 
I have the GBA version of that.

I might get Toejam and Earl...heard that was fun.
 
TJ&E is fun, but it's a very slow-paced game. But I think the game's sense of humor would appeal to you.

Comix Zone is an awesome, albeit short, game. Super Mario 64 is awesome, too...even if you have the DS version, it's worth getting it on the Virtual Console just because the controls on the DS version are shit.

My suggestion is to go on YouTube and type in the names of the games you want to try out to see them in action. Seeing the game in action would, more than anything else, tell you whether or not a game's worth buying.
 
Comix Zone is awesome but hard.

You need real determination to complete it, not to mention nerves and balls of steel. Probably the hardest part of it is that you can stand and smack the crap out of the simplest enemies for minutes at a time and they're still standing, while you have seemingly considerably less life before you go down.

I'd reccomend getting it if you haven't played it before, yes. But I wouldn't reccomend spending all your Wii Points on it if you never have either.
 
New games come out Monday's, right?

Any news on what comes out this Monday?
 
I feel like a fool now...I totally whored my points as quickly as I got them o_O

Now I have a collection of:
-Super Mario Bros. (NES)
-Mario Bros. (NES)
-Donkey Kong (NES)
-Donkey Kong Jr. (NES)
-Pinball (NES)
-Ice Climber (NES)
-Kirby's Adventure (NES)
-Sim City (Super NES)
-Super Mario World (Super NES)
-F-Zero (Super NES...someone teach me how to beat that track in Queen League with the big jump)
-Mario Kart 64 (N64)

I never owned an NES so I'm a nut about getting my hands on the games for it...and strangely, neither the original Legend of Zelda nor Sonic for the Genesis attracted my attention at all... maybe it's because my cousin had Sonic way back when and I used to suck at it.

I want to see BurgerTime on there. Oh, those fond memories of the days of when I had the Intellivision version....
 
Hm..got Toejam and Earl...not that fun...:(

Castlevania looks cool...should I get it?
 
Today's releases:

WII-KLY UPDATE: FOUR NEW CLASSIC GAMES ANNOUNCED FOR WII SHOP CHANNEL


Feb. 19, 2007

Today Nintendo adds four new classic games to the popular Wii™ video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The games go live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

Donkey Kong™ Country (Super NES®, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Donkey Kong Country is an incredible island adventure, and the first game to feature Donkey Kong's sidekick, Diddy Kong®. Challenged by the crazed tribe of reptilian Kremlings, the Kongs face their cunning adversaries armed with lightning-quick moves, chest-pounding muscle and awesome aerial acrobatics. The duo also gets help from a host of friends and family, from Funky Kong™, Cranky Kong™ and Candy Kong™ to Rambi™ the rhino, Expresso™ the ostrich, Enguarde™ the swordfish, Squawks the parrot and Winky the frog. This game has more than 30 levels, plus dozens of hidden caves and secret rooms - more than 100 areas in all. Help the Kongs recover their stolen banana hoard!

The Legend of Kage (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): This classic ninja-action game first appeared in arcades in 1985 and became instantly popular. As the Iga ninja named "Kage," players embark on an action-packed quest as they move toward a magic castle where the Princess "Kiri" is held captive by "Yohshirou Yukikusa." To stay alive, players move vertically and horizontally through forest and castle environments and execute massive jumps, all the while using throwing-star knives and a sword to take down hordes of enemies.

New Adventure Island (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): On peaceful Adventure Island, the islanders are celebrating the wedding of Master Higgins and Tina, the "Miss Island Queen." Suddenly, the celebration is interrupted by the appearance of Baron Bronsky and his henchmen, who kidnap Tina and the island children. Master Higgins must set out to rescue the children and his beloved Tina in this side-scrolling action game. Throw hatchets and boomerangs, hop on skateboards and guide Master Higgins safely to the goal in each area. New Adventure Island consists of seven exciting stages. Each stage is split into four areas, with a boss waiting at the end of the final area. Defeat all the bosses and release the kidnapped children. And waiting in the castle of the final stage - the wicked Baron Bronsky. Help Master Higgins defeat him and reclaim his bride.

Streets of Rage™ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): The city was once a happy, peaceful place...until one day, a powerful secret criminal organization took over. This vicious syndicate soon had control of the government and even the police force. The city has become a center of violence and crime where no one is safe. Amid this turmoil, a group of determined young police officers has sworn to clean up the city. Among them are Adam Hunter, Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding. They've decided to put their lives on the line and take back their city through their special hand-to-hand combat abilities. They are willing to risk anything, even their lives, on the Streets of Rage.

For what it's worth, I heard Kirby Super Star has been confirmed without a date for availability.
 
Get Donkey Kong Country if you don't already have the SNES version.

Castlevania looks cool? It's FREAKIN' AWESOME! You've never played Castlevania? Other than the handhelds MINUS Portrait of Ruin and the new PSP game, it's one of the most awesome series EVER!

Supposedly in Japan, two new consoles will be added to the VC list: the MSX computer system, and SNK's Neo-Geo.

Also didn't know that Gunstar Heroes was added to the list already. Definitely will tell my Wii-owning friends about this.

In my case (if I ever friggen' get a Wii) I'd sort of be torn between purchasing old Genesis games on VC that I missed out on (like Ristar), or just scouring eBay and getting the actual carts.

They'd be more expensive on eBay.

I have Ristar on my GameCube! Seriously, with Sonic Mega Collection, you don't need to buy many Sega Genesis games on the VC at the moment.
 
Does anyone know if Yoshi's Story is confirmed to be coming to the VC?
