Wii Warm Up: Virtually yours

by Chris Greenhough { Aug 16th 2008 at 10:30AM }

It's been over a year since we last checked up on your Virtual Console collections, and as the service has a tendency of throwing up new games now and again (even if updates are slower than ever), and there's now also WiiWare to consider, we thought we'd pry again.

So, your Virtual Console (and WiiWare) collection: show us it.

I have Super Mario World... And that's all.

I've considered getting another game, but I have no idea what that'd be. Maybe I'll hold out 'till we get some new N64 titles or World of Goo.

Apothekari @ Aug 16th 2008 10:46AM

I stopped getting anything after Lost Winds because I HAVE NO PLACE TO PUT IT!
I absolutely refuse to install uninstall reinstall transfer hunt for other sd card re re install any more
Nintendo NEEDS to fix this shit toot sweet, Pronto!
Otherwise I'm done.
Period.

BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW

JayVe @ Aug 17th 2008 10:26AM

I have an Xbox 360 and PS3 along with a Wii. Know what? They ALL run out of room. This isn't a problem exclusive to Nintendo. The fact of the matter is that that ANY amount of space is too little. Either archive your stuff off, or remove it and make room for more.

Lianne @ Aug 18th 2008 3:40PM

Yeah it's a pain...I have a 1-gig SD card that I transfer stuff back and forth from.

What I really want is a USB harddrive that works with the Wii! ;-D

Hammy Wammy @ Aug 16th 2008 10:47AM

Nope I have none. I'd rather buy games with depth. Oh wait a minute... our wii hardly make games with depth... Doooh

vidGuy @ Aug 16th 2008 11:49AM

Haha, there's more depth in LoZ:TP, hell even Super Metroid, than your standard best seller on the 360 or PS3.

nintendo1889 @ Aug 16th 2008 10:48AM

First one! Okay, so, the games I have are as follows - Paper Mario, Donkey Kong Country 2, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario World and Kirby's Adventure. I don't have any wiiware since I don't seem to see any that suits my interest. Now, if I could get an SD card, I'd add Chrono Trigger and the Final Fantasy series to that....

BlackDogAssault @ Aug 16th 2008 11:40AM

Bro, those cost a fiver, what's with "if I could"? Just go and buy one already.

nintendo1889 @ Aug 16th 2008 10:48AM

Guess I wasn't first..oh, well.

metici @ Aug 16th 2008 11:00AM

well- I have Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario Bros 3, Metroid, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, Contra 3, Mario Kart 64, Kirby and the Crystal Shards, Yoshi's Island, and as for wii ware I have FF: My Life As a King

Patius @ Aug 16th 2008 11:02AM

The free one.

CamranChaos @ Aug 16th 2008 11:02AM

OK, let's see here, I've got a bunch...

NES: Super Mario Bros, Zelda, River City Ransom, Gradius, Kirby's Adventure

SNES: Super Castlevania IV, ActRaiser, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Harvest Moon, SimCity, Cybernator, R-Type III

N64: Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Paper Mario, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Kirby 64, Sin & Punishment

So, I have more old games than new games. If I could get my hands on Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, and a couple of others, I'd be pretty much set. Until they announce something along the lines of Sega Saturn support, of course...Please?

Roto13 @ Aug 16th 2008 1:18PM

Why would you need 6000 points to get ready for Mega Man 9? Are you planning on buying it 6 times? :P

Gundam_Warrior @ Aug 16th 2008 2:26PM

No, I mainly built up those large amount of points mainly because I live overseas in Europe where it's more difficult to pick up Wii Points for myself. Also the factor that games like Mega Man 9, Earthworm Jim, Earthbound, and others have "planned" on being released on the VC I figured it would be better safe then sorry to get more Wii Ponts.

My pokemon ranch I bought when I was tired, and I wasn't thinking. I dont even have a ds. I just cant stand to see 1200 points not in use. I was gonna wait for My Aquarium and Space Invaders Get Even to come out and get both of those, but it bugs me to have unused points. BTW, Canadian, EH?

I was at Target last night, debating if my money should go to Madden 09 or some Wii points and I bought Madden - just couldn't think of anything else besides Dr Mario that I wanted to download.

My list: Sin and Punishment, Mario 3 and Lost Winds

As it turns out, Madden is excellent...I was up past midnight playing

Sisyphus @ Aug 16th 2008 12:38PM

Aye, the controls on the new Madden make it so fun to play. :)

Ha... I've just got an expensive obsession. I didn't realize how many I had until I started writing them down. Looking at it now, it's pretty ridiculous.

I really do love nearly all of those games though. I'm still not entirely sold on Comix Zone, Alien Solider, and Beyond Oasis. I haven't had time to get into them much yet.

I'd check and tell you but then I'd have to dig around in my SD card and I don't want to bother.

Sam @ Aug 16th 2008 1:22PM

Hmm. Well let's see.

I have:

And that's it. Yeah. I have nothing. Unfortunately, our modem's screwed up, preventing me from using a wireless router OR a LAN Adapter. My only option is to get either the Nintendo WiFi USB Adapter which was discontinued a while ago or the third party USB Adapter by Datel. And I can't find any stores in the area that have it.

I didn't notice WiiWare was included in the question. I have:

Abscissa @ Aug 16th 2008 2:20PM

I'm not buying anything until they fix two things:

- Can actually buy games for the exact amount.
- Remove the longevity-killing DRM.

Abscissa @ Aug 16th 2008 2:29PM

If they were to do actually that (hah, like that would ever happen!), then there's a ton of stuff I'd buy (yes, buy. Lack of DRM makes me want to buy, not pirate, as much as some people refuse to believe it). Just off the top of my head: Sin and Punishment, Megaman 9 (when it comes out, obviously), LostWinds, and if they're on VC (not sure) then Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and the TG16 Dragon Spirit (I used to have the NES version and loved it). And probably a whole bunch of other stuff I can't think of right now.

Strong Bad Episode 1

So yeah, Virtual Console wise I haven't bought anything since Kirby 64, which was February I believe. It's kind of sad that 2007 had so many amazing games on the Virtual Console and now Nintendo's frooking us over. Then again all I really want now is Earthbound and Mega Man 2.

And when it comes to WiiWare, pretty much nothing outside of the two games I have interests me at all. I'm pretty disappointed with the service thus far, especially since it's been taking away Virtual Console updates, but Mega Man 9 and future Strong Bad episodes should remedy my ill feelings towards it.
