Guess the Next N64 Game to Come to the VC!

[Pit 42]

1080 for Febuary sounds about right.

My guess is we'll get Beetle Adventure Racinf THIS month.

[Angelic Lapras King]

Suppose. The US did get Yoshi's Story rather unexpectly, when they were expecting the lovely Sin and Punishment...

[theUndead_feature]

Y'think Ninty will start making sense and release SSB on VC to coincide with Brawl?

I'll buy both!

and as far a space issues go. I have both problems. At this rate I'll be able to fill up the channel spaces faster than the internal memory. A lot more of both would be appreciated.

yep.
anyway, better we got it sooner than later.

...not going to blame GoNintendo for it, since at least they knew what was coming.. now if only Cruis'n USA will be the next game...

One reason why I don't get people wanting to bother with a HDD, and if they do get their wish; they are going to complain about lack of channel space right afterwards. Granted, I'll go with the idea if Nintendo would like to bring the really hefty size VC games from systems we don't have available (Saturn, SegaCD...) in the mix or downloadable content. Other than that, I could careless about either problems.

Anyway, since what SKTTR mentioned earlier is now dismissed (At least for PAL regions go), I am going with Beetle Adventure Racing for Feb.

[koolkitties]

1080 in the US of A.
Beetle Adventure Racing in the U of K.

You don't think with an HDD that they'd expand the number of spaces available? Right now I've got 11 left, all waiting to be filled by specific games that have yet to hit the VC. I've also got 500 some blocks left, so I think I'll be able to easily fill those 11...

[Angelic Lapras King]

So, Kirby's next on the list.

So what ll become the unlucky 13th N64 game I wonder?

I can see Smash Bros, probably the most unluckiest N64 game to be released since no one is going to bother getting it with Brawl up in the horizon. If not, then we'll see...heck, it could be Custom Robo. (shrugs)

[videogamer1030]

I hope Mischief makers comes soon.

That was a great game.

Is it just me, or is the N64 controller unsuitable for 'traditional' 2D platformers?

[Pit 42]

Definetly not Smash Bros. And I say that because I don't want to get my hopes up for next week.

Besides, I'll be too busy with Brawl to care.

[The shoemaker]

so is nintendo ever gonna release smash bros? I mean relaseing it after is just plain stupid now that brawl is out. They should have relased it in June 07 or something.

I agree that they should have released it before. People would get impatient waiting for Brawl and go back for some nostalgia. The rumours are still swirling that they're going to release it on Monday the 10th, which is pretty much launch day (Sunday doesn't count, really?). Still, I have my doubts.

[Pit 42]

Now that my preorder is shipping Brawl a WHOLE WEEK after Brawl's release, I'll have a week of sitting around on my computer watching people talk about how awesome Brawl is.

Ya, I really hope they release Smash Bros. on Monday.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Wow, it sounds like my reservation works way different than most people's preorders. They're just going to call me when the shipment comes in, and I can walk in and take one. I just have to make sure I get to the store before the waves of drooling gibberlings do.

But if there are going to be supply issues and shipping delays, maybe Smash Bros. would be a smart Monday release.

[Angelic Lapras King]

I m not sure America would get a N64 next week, as it would be a bit too soon after Kirby. Maybe a week or 2 afterwards, but wouldnt say next week.

And Japan's lack of an N64 game this month doesnt help things either. o.o

[The shoemaker]

Maybe Nintendo is just not gonna release Smash bros. OR maybe they'll make Smash Bros DS!

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

It wouldn't make much sense to release Smash Bros. now. The only way we'll see it is if it somehow gets released in conjunction with the EU release of Brawl, but I kind of doubt it.

[Pit 42]

Well, no Smash Bros. Anyone surprised?

The next game will probably be Crusin' USA, but that's just my guess.

[Angelic Lapras King]

You know, its been awhile since anything Mario related on the 64 was released.

So I m picking either Mario Party 1, Golf or Tennis.

[SKTTR]

It could be anything,

but I'm a bit concerned about what you mentioned.

Mario Party 8 is out on the Wii, and I guess Nintendo/Hudson wants to make money on that one. They'll get $50 for it, while they would only get $30 for Mario Party 1+2+3.

Mario Tennis (N64) would be a great game, but wouldn't they first release a game like Super Tennis (SNES) before shredding out the best ones?

Also, Mario Golf (N64) seems unlikely. Golf (NES) is still not available.
There's HAL's Hole-In-One (SNES) and some others for the SNES.
I guess they'll choose to put up the older ones first, before giving out the best ones.

[Pit 42]

I think maybe they'll release Mario Golf and Tennis around the end of the Wii's lifespan. Weren't those games originally released around the end of N64's?

[Angelic Lapras King]

Well, with MP, number 8 has already sold well, so maybe MP1 would sell just as well? Number 9 hasnt been annonced yet, and we ve had 8 for a decent amount of time me reckons.

Tennis, good point. Combained with Sega Tennis which was recently released.

Golf, another good point. I don't think they ll be left till the end of the Wii's lifespan though. I mean, Tennis was a fan favorite and, well those who enjoy Golf certainly enjoyed Mario Golf.

Oh well, Mario is Missing anyone (Yeah, its a SNES title, but Mario none the less XD)?

[Atlantis1982]

Well, we are still left with Cruisn' USA and Beetle Adventure Racing; kind of doubt it'll be those two.

I am going to go with Pilotwings 64.

Funny how things turn out huh? lol. XD

Right, after ages since first rated, Cruisn' USA is finally scrached off the list. Could Beetle Adventure Racing follow soon after?

Ugh, I hope not. One or two racing games is enough for me...

[Angelic Lapras King]

Well, Japan's catching up with Kirby 64 next month, so the next one's a little unpredictable again.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

It'll have to be Beetle racing or that flying shooting one that looks terrible.

Called it.

No kidding.

Anyway, I'll go with Pilotwings again.

[Firebrand]

Quake II! Activision is finally supporting the Virtual Console so Quake II is an obvious choice for them.

[theUndead_feature]

But will the control scheme suffer? I've forgotten how extensively Quake II uses the C-Buttons. I only bring it up because if Duke Nukem 64 ever hit the VC they'd absolutely have to change the control layout.

[Angelic Lapras King]

You know, its been about 4 months since we got DKC3, so maybe between now and the summer, we could get DK64?

[theUndead_feature]

If Rare is okay with it.

Or does it matter? I mean, since DK is a nintendo property outright and Rare just made the game.

Rare will certainly have to receive some kind of compensation, but the decision itself is all Nintendo's (in contrast with some other games, where Rare and Nintendo both have a say in the matter).

If DK64 is indeed being delayed, maybe this is the reason. Maybe Nintendo doesn't want to release a game that will be less profitable because of other business considerations.

[Angelic Lapras King]

The rights belongs to Nintendo so they can do whatever they want with the Rareware DK games.

Its taken so long to get here because they obviously wanted to release the DKC Trilogy first and for the same reason as every other N64 game that isnt on the VC yet...

That doesn't mean Nintendo doesn't have to pay the people involved in developing the game. It just means they get to make the executive decision.

What about the inclusion of Jetpac in DK64? Isn't that IP owned by Rare?
