When Nintendo was e-mailed, this was supposedly part of the response: We understand your concern about the lack of service on the VC as of late. Due to sales numbers being far greater recently on Wiiware than on Virtual Console, we have decided to steer in the direction of WiiWare. CB007's Review & GPT Archive

And that generated a lot of excitement. And at least I've heard of the Final Fantasy IV sequel. I hadn't heard of the Contra sequel until I checked out Wikipedia's list of WiiWare games, though.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Lostwinds and World of Goo also got a lot of attention, which is really impressive because they didn't have any coattails to ride. Last Christmas, those two and deBlob were considered the only games worth buying for Wii thanks to Nintendo's stellar idea to use Animal Crossing as their flagship holiday release. I checked the WiiWare list again. There's a Harvest Moon on there, as well as a few more Monkey Island entries. This might turn out to not suck as bad as I initially thought. Still want them to keep VC alive, though. Even though my SNES/N64 copies of games are all intact still, I want them to be available through this in case something bad happened.

Didn't know about World of Goo. Nintendo's been going a little crazy with the cross-platform games by dipping into the casual market so heavily, so of course they'll pick up a few "real" games in doing so. I won't write off WiiWare if they're releasing good games that can be retrieved for other systems, mainly because I'm exclusively Wii at the moment (and likely will be for a while). Just like with the VC, it's nice to have a library of good games regardless of the circumstances. I mean, if FFVII were to be released for VC as well as the PSN, it'd still be a huge deal.

It's by the River City Ransom people, and has similar graphics. It got a decent amount of coverage in Nintendo Power back in the day. On the other hand, I don't think I had ever heard of Last Ninja 2 before.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	While I don't understand how Shadow of the Beast got 10 ports (and it was also supposed to be released for the SNES, but that fell through), that's pretty understandable compared to the 15 or so different versions of Altered Beast.
