Wii Virtual Console

[Oil]

I plan on getting the Wii classic controller and LAN adapter so I can download and play some of the fun SNES and Genesis games.

Here is what I plan on getting:
Golden Axe 1/2
Gunstar Heroes
Zelda: A Link to the Past
BoF2

What games have you gotten or will get?

 

[JoPh]

super mario world?

 

[techwanabe]

I went to IGN and read the rewview list of all the games available for the wii. It seemed nearly half of the games were listed as virtual console games. That means nearly half were not games written expressly for the wii but are warmed over or not warmed over games for other consoles.

It seemed a bit disingenuous to pad the list with virtual console games as most lists are usually for dedicated games.

I guess one of the advantages is you don't have to have a bunch of old consoles laying around and you can still play some old titles.

the classic controller is cool. here's what i got off of the VC:
-Contra III Alien Wars
- Castlevania I
-Bonks Adventure
-Super Ghouls and Ghosts

Planning on picking up Zelda LttP and Super Metroid as well

 

[clamum]

I have:

Super Mario World
Donkey Kong (aw yeah NES)
Donkey Kong Country
Gradius III (f'ing game is so hard but it rules)

Super Metroid is definitely a good pick. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I don't know why they do that. VC, XBLA, and PSN games should be kept separate from Wii, Xbox and PS3 games.

Super Mario Lost Levels
Mike Tyson's Punchout
Donkey Kong Country

Gamespot has a separate list of reviews for Wii and VC games. Only problem is that the VC games end up on the Wii review list as well

Since Golden Axe 1 and 2 are almost the same, which one should I buy?

 

[Spydermag68]

I got Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Supper Mario Brothers, and Zelda 1. I am thinking about getting the other Zelda games too.

i had a blast with 1...wasn't too thrilled with 2. i hear they're doing a remake for Golden Axe 1 on the PS3 soon

 

[imported_Goo]

I got Golden Axe 1 and Super mario.

BTW if ANYONE can beat the final boss in GA1 plz let me know how you did it, myself and a buddy played at least 30 times and still can't beat the final boss.

I actually enjoyed Links adventure (plus up thrust and down thrust rocks )
link to the past put me to sleep (too much running back and forth to get things)

Side question: where can I find the official LAN adapter for the Wii other than Nintendos website? Gamestop.com and Amazon seem to have other brands but not the official one

How are these virtual console game packaged? I've looked at Wii titles in stores but so far haven't noticed these.

They're downloads. You purchase them through the Wii store, download them to the Wii and play them.

 

[Gunslinger08]

I wish they'd release some of the FF games.

 

[Tegeril]

On Nintendo's website for the Wii LAN adapter, they specifically state that the adapter made by Nintendo is only available from Nintendo. There are a couple compatible adapters, and you can find them here --> http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wii_ethernet_adapter

 

[RandomFool]

I bought Paper Mario and Mario Kart 64.
