The Tendo Project – Daily Nintendo News

It might just be in the retirement home watching Leno, but its still around

If you havent noticed, there hasnt been a whole amount of Virtual Console games on the Wii lately. In fact, there hasnt been any in Europe or Australia for half a year. America has been spared, theyve had 3 months without one. But if there was ever anyone to reassure you it would be Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime who has said in a new interview with Time that;

"There is new content coming out on Wii, both on the Virtual Console and in terms of WiiWare – again small, digital bite-sized chunks of games."
So obviously there isnt going to be a huge deluge of games like the good old days, but Nintendo still has something in the pipeline for Wii owners. Dont give up hope yet folks.

Alliteration fails us in our darkest hour.

If youve been hankering for a re-release of Striders Mega Drive port and only own a Wii, then consider today your lucky day, for Capcom have confirmed the Virtual Console release is coming west. The game was supposedly released yesterday on the Japanese Virtual console.

No dates abound, although if youre interested, apparently both Strider and the recently online enabled Street Fighter II releases are being published by SEGA, rather than Capcom.

Fear not, regions outside Japan are getting the game as well

Capcoms just announced theyre bringing the previously Japan only release of Super Street Fighter 2 for the Virtual Console over here, alongside Europe and America. Whats more, it turns out theyve managed to go back and integrate online functionality into the classic fighter. Of course, Capcom doesnt announce a date for the game here, just that it will be coming out. Perhaps it will be the first game to break the Wii Virtual Console drought?

Its the Megadrive/Sega Genesis version of the game, which featured larger audio memory than the SNES version. Purists will be disappointed that its not Street Fighter II: Turbo, but New Challengers is an important landmark for the series, introducing a bunch of characters that have since become core in Street Fighter. Itll be interesting to see how the online play handles, as injecting online into emulation is notoriously difficulty with normal games, yet alone frame data counting fighters.

Youll know more when we do.

What is Virtual Console? Virtual console is known as an online service that allows players to purchase and download games as well as the other software for Nintendo’s Wii gaming console. This is sometimes called VC.  Virtual Console line up often consists of titles originally released on past consoles.  Titles run in their original forms through software emulation that can also be purchased between 500 and 1200 Wii points. However, this depends on systems rarity or demand.

So, what are the best Nintendo Virtual Console games for you and your family? Here are some of them:

Super Mario 64. This game is recommended for kids from eight years old and up.  In fact, this game is the best seller when it comes to N64 which is released y 1996. With this game, the whole family would surely enjoy Mario’s walking, run, crouch, crawl, swim, jump and climb just to save Princess Peach.

Ecco the Dolphin. I myself also loved this game together with my seven year old son. Ecco is actually a bottlenose dolphin being controlled by the player through a progression of side scrolling aquatic levels.
