Average release date of the N64 Games.

[RossMRocks]

Are the N64 games for the VC released every 3/4 weeks ? Please post your estimate amount of weeks so I can buy Wii Points wisely.[/i]

4-5 weeks gap roughly between the 4 N64 games which have been released so far.

I think we'll see F-Zero X next (hopefully) - maybe sometime in May!

At least in america since europe just got Star Fox 64.
I think that june is earliest for an N64 game in europe, I hope that I'm wrong though

Yeah, and we got Star Fox 64 before Europe. But in Ocarina and Mario Kart's cases they came out in the other country not long after it came it the other first. But I believe Europe had to wait two weeks to get Star Fox. Since F-Zero-X and Paper Mario are coming out, it will be interesting to see how they will be released in both countries.

Why are they releasing the N64 games so slowly? It's looking more along the lines of 1 every 2 months now, rather than 1 a month...

Maybe because of the size of the games. I'm not sure.

I'd wager it's partly because the library of games to choose from that are of a high enough quality and without licensing issues is actually quite small. Releasing them more quickly would mean either populating the VC with poorer games in its infancy or risking losing steam towards the end of the generation.

I don't really care if it slows down at the end of the generation. I want all the best games now!
