Why the long wait, Nintendo?

If any of you haven't noticed yet, the Commodore 64 & Arcade games were added to the Wii Virtual Console this year. Yet, it's been over a month since the North American Virtual Console got it's last C64 game & 4 weeks since the last time the NA VC gets arcade games. Why the long wait, Nintendo? The additions of C64 & Arcade to the VC opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Yet, Nintendo is still putting out 1 game on the VC per week.

World Heroes 2 PC Engine



The PC Engine version of World Heroes 2 is a really good home conversion of an Neo Geo game of the same name, but how? The graphical power of the PC-Engine itself is somewhat weak when compared to the SNES, & sometimes (but probably not often) the Genesis, & obviously the Neo-Geo. What Hudson did is made an Arcade card that, once you insert it, added quite a bit more RAM into the PC Engine similar to what the N64 expansion pak & the Saturn RAM packs did. The Arcade Card & the PC Engine CD ROM Unit accessory are required to play the games that use the Arcade card. The music for the games ported from the Neo Geo had been greatly improved, some of the music has been decreased in quality, but still sound great. You might want to import a PC Engine, a PC Engine CD Rom unit, an arcade card, & some games if you're intrested in the PC Engine & have the money.

I didn't make the video nor do I own it.

Buyers guide for last generation games

http://kotaku.com/5126059/a-buyers-guide-to-a-console-generation-past?skyline=true&s=i

I feel that it's a really good read. It talks about the good & bad points of each last gen system as well as the price of the systems, the recommended peripherals, & some recommended games to get. The only thing I don't like about that guide is that the Dreamcast isn't on there.

Also, the reason why I buy primarily last gen & retro games is because I don't really like spending $50-$60 on a new game. The only new games I buy are from the DS & the Wii.

Tell me if the link isn't showing up.

A new arcade?

http://www.paulsarcade.com/

Eh? A new Arcade?! Arcades are a rare species for a few years now. Not only a new arcade went in business, it managed to be alive & well even today. The arcade? Simply called "Paul's Video Arcade." it opened up in 2005 & still in business today. Which got me thinking, how can a new arcade open up these days & still be successful? Ok, I admit I was dramatizing a little bit. Still, I have a few questions.

What's the average start up cost for an arcade?

Arn't more arcades at Wisconsin* than Illinois? (Quite a naive question.)

*-The arcade I was talking about is at Regency Mall in Racine, Wisconsin.

Arcade games I would like to see on the VC pt. 2

Sorry for the long wait. Here's pt. 2 of the top 10 arcade games I would like to see for the Wii Virtual Console. These games are in no particular order.

5. Donkey Kong (1981)


I said in pt. 1 of my top 10 list that Donkey Kong probably won't be on this list, well it is on there now. All of you should know how the game plays by now.

4. King of Fighters '99 (1999)



I would really like to play this game, but unfortunately, it's not on a compilation, the Neo Geo AES version is too expensive, there're quite a bit of missing frames of animation for the PSX version, so that leaves me with either waiting for it to come out on Virtual Console, or buy the Dreamcast version. Btw, I don't really know if this should count because Neo Geo games came on the VC before the other arcade games did.

3. Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)



One of my favorite arcade games when I was little. You obviously shoot at raptors, the poison spitting dinos, compys, & much more. Don't shoot at humans or you will get hurt, but save them & you'll be rewarded.

2. Arctic Thunder (2001)



So many racing games take place on the road & off-road, but a few games, like Arctic Thunder take place on the snow & ice. You come across items while racing that can either help you or hinder your opponents. Really fun game.

1. House of the Dead (1997)



Also one of my favorite arcade games. By now, you should probably understand how the game plays.


So that's the end of my list. I still have some runner ups, but I'll edit them in later.

Top 10 Arcade games I would like to see for the Wii Virtual Console Arcade pt. 1 (not in any particular way)

If you've been keeping up with the news on the Wii Virtual Console lately, then you'll probably know by now that Arcade games are now available for the Wii Virtual Console. If you don't know that already, then here's the link to the news:

http://vc.nintendolife.com/news/2009/03/sd_card_game_launching_plus_arcade_games_available_on_vc_now

Anyways, it wouldn't be long until people started making wishlists on what they want to see on the Wii Virtual Console Arcade, I'am also making a wishlist of the top 10 arcade games I would like to see, but keep in mind that it wouldn't have the usual stuff like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 or Donkey Kong.

Well, here's the list:


10. Dynasty Wars (1989, Capcom)




This game is kinda like Dynasty Warriors, the differences are that you're always on horseback & can't fight on foot, it's 2D obviously, you can only play as 1 of 4 characters, it's made by Capcom instead of Koei, etc. It's still very fun, however, especially with 2-player co-op.

9. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (2000, Midway)




This game is basically like most other Gauntlets, you hack, slash, & maybe use magic to progress throughout the levels while finding secret items, & money to purchase powerups, your health is always diminishing slowly, so you either gotta find food, or insert more coins to get more health. Not much more to say about it though.

8. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1996, Midway)



Well, it's Mortal Kombat. It's ultimate, & has more content than Mortal Kombat 3, don't know much else to say about. Oh, I know I can get it on XBLA, but the 360 controller isn't really good for fighting games.

7. L.A. Machineguns: Rage of the Machines (1998, Sega)



Basically what you do is that you fly around & shoot enemies. You can't fly freely though, but you have a machinegun fortunately which is enough to get through thosee pesky guys with jetpacks & on land, the guys on the flying jetski things, missle launchers, & more. Played it a few times, it's really fun.

6. Rampage: World Tour (1997, Midway)



Taking control as 1 of 3 monsters, you must destroy all the buildings to advance to the next stage. However, you can get flags to get to other countries to smash their cities too. While destroying buildings, vehicles, & eating civilians, you'll come across items found in buildings. Some of them help you, but others will hurt you, so be careful. Has 2 & 3 player co-op.

Well, that's pt. 1 done. Pt. 2 will be released later. I didn't make any of these videos.
