GNamer All-Singing, All-Dancing, Haven't-I-Seen-You-Before (Possibly Several Times) Wii U Virtual Console Thread

To be honest, I'm not a big retro person, so I wasn't really paying attention. :reggieshrug:

I already have it on Wii, no point wasting memory on something I'm never gonna use.

Kirby's Dream Course has arrived - my first Wii U VC purchase. I'd never played it before and skipping the tutorials may not have been the best idea. Didn't get past the first course.

I've got out am getting all the 30p games because they're 30p.

I've bought all the 30p games, due to being 30p even though i will never play balloon fight ever. Does anyone no how many and what else is to come after super metroid in the 30p offer. And i bought kirby adventure from the nes for 30p, so i can get the two kirby games that went up for £3.69 each if you bought nes kirby. Should i get these toe kirbys as £3.69 seems cheap. Also i want sega games from the saturn and dreamcast on VC at some point, can't see why it won't happen wii had mega drive etc

I'm pretty sure its the poor mario & yoshi puzzle game next and its also the last one.

well its only 30p and ads 2 points to my premium account, just googled whist typing donkey kong is also coming out last.

Yeah, just Yoshi (some people like it, some people don't) and Donkey Kong (not DK's best game, but his most important) left to come. It's been a good run.

As for the Kirby games, masofdas, as an owner of both I say yes. Kirby Super Star is the best Kirby game besides Epic Yarn, and Dream Course is quite an intelligent, moreish take on crazy golf.

I'll probably start Super G n G tonight, never played it before but always heard great things.

Posting to echo Phillips here: Kirby Super Star is huge fun and now I've got to grips with it (the tutorials are worthwhile; if you've never played it before, check them out!), Kirby's Dream Course is brilliant stuff too.

I downloaded super star last night as I had money left over & I qualified for the price cut.

also gone for super star, but wasn't sure about dream course so have left it.

It's very very tough. Kudos to you for playing it.

Incidentally I got distracted by other things & still haven't played it

Sufficiently different to your regular eShop fare to deserve their own thread, I feel.

3rd April:
Advance Wars
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Metroid Fusion

10th:
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
Wario Ware Inc.

17th:
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Golden Sun

24th:
Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island

All at £6.29.

I'll be picking up Metroid Fusion tomorrow.  Leave your experiences of these former classics here!

Maybe already a thread for VC altogether? We had this before we found out that everything coming to the Virtual Console was stuff we'd already talked about years ago:

Could new discussion be added to that?

Yes, yes it could!

Groovy!

I downloaded Advance Wars yesterday, and it's quickly reminded me why I can't get into it. Simply put, I find it too tough. I'm still on the training missions by the way. I'll try to give it another try, but I find it very inaccessible.

Briefly, as for what's coming up ahead, I'd definitely put WarioWare and Yoshi's Island amongst Nintendo's very best games ever. "Classics" is the word. I quite enjoy Kirby and F-Zero as well, but like WarioWare and Yoshi's Island I've got them on cartridge and as Ambassador downloads already. I haven't given Fusion or Golden Sun a chance, so I can't really comment on those. That just leaves Superstar Saga. I had it back in the day and played it for a few hours, but I think I traded it in towards my Wii. I haven't looked to buy it again since. Should I?

Okay, nobody else is going to answer, it seems, and I'm bored at work, waiting for a jumbo-length macro to run. Sooooo...

For me, SS my favourite of the M&L games. It's the "purest" of them all, with more skilful special moves, as well as some of my favourite characters. But I'm worried that my view is tinted by nostalgia: I played it before the same three Bros. moves turned up in every ensuing instalment, when they still felt fresh. Moreover, I think it's quite verbose, possibly more so than the other M&Ls - and while I don't mind that, I'm mindful of your views on TTYD. (It isn't as verbose, don't worry.)

I loved it, but it is a JRPG, albeit not as obsessed with numbers and stats. as most. Make of that what you will!

Golden Sun & Yoshi are catching my eye, AW maybe but not sure if I can really be bothered to play it though. All the rest look decent but can't really buy them all.

I'd say SS is probably my least favourite of the 3 M&L games I've played. That could be a slightly skewed opinion though because I couldn't beat the final boss. I think it's less text heavy than Paper Mario TTYD (don't hold me to that though) so if you liked that this could be for you.

Just started Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It looks very cartoony, and the timing of hits is kicking my buttom. Can't wait to delve deeper.

As much as I'm enjoying Advance wars I think the field training (tutorial) could've been streamlined a bit, for example they really could have combined some of the missions.

How do you buy new units in battle on Advance Wars? Can't figure it out.   

I picked up AW yesterday and that tutorial is crazy long! I was starting to worry that was the whole campaign and the rest was just multiplayer!
In response to TCK you can buy units from Factories that you control (though you don't get that til the campaign for some reason).
