choose wisely

gustavo · 24th January 2008

it's been almost a year and a half since wii's release,and so far,we only get 11 nintendo 64 games,while nes and snes receive at least 3 games every month.I don't know why,probably beacuse n64 was not such a popular console,and the most expensive one($10 one game).And that makes sense,but if nintendo's relasing one game each month,i just think they should choose better the game.I mean,why the hell are we getting cruisin' usa and beetle adventure racing,instead of donkey kong 64 and majora's mask?let's just say we'll neve get to see rare games on nintendo 64.that doesn't mean there are no other good games,right?i think it's great to have beetle adventure racing from time to time,but all the 3 games coming soon are racing games,while so far there hasn't been a single shooter.it looks like nintendo released the great non-rare classics(mario 64,ocarina of time and star fox 64),and now we geting games no one ever heard of,just as an excuse for keep releasing games.

I remember that on one website there was a rumor that Mario Party is coming soon, THAT would be a nice change from all those cruddy racing games

The last good VC game was Paper Mario, since then everything has been crud, just release Donkey Kong 64 already!

Balrog · 24th January 2008

Easy. They're probably basing it on American culture. Depends on what other countries, like Japan, are getting.

We got racing games and sports games, they got RPGs and action games. It only makes sense.

Pit 42 · 24th January 2008

They're trying to release all the really good games for the majority of the Wii's lifespan. I mean, after all the good N64 games are released, no one will have any reason to buy any more N64 VC games.

In short, it's a marketing tool.

Spore · 24th January 2008

I'd choose the blue pill. Wait, what's this thread about again? Anyway, if you want shooters, use a PC.

Ninty never SAID we were getting those games.

gustavo · 24th January 2008

just go on the "coming soon" list.you'll see both of them there.

Angelic Lapras King · 25th January 2008

Yes well, stuff like Duck Hunt got rated, but never released and vanished from the ratings. Still doesnt mean its coming real soon.

Uh...

Brawl, supposed to come December.

Nope, coming in January.

Nope, coming in March.

Nope... who knows.

Considering Nintendo's penchant for delays, you shouldn't trust a simple list.

It is still supposed to come out in March. Well, in America it is. You Europeans probably got eight to ten months to go still. (:

Pongie · 31st January 2008

In the US bettle racing and crusin' usa arent out yet. Oh well.

TriniTNADeV · 7th February 2008

Ok never mind then

gustavo · 27th July 2008

Alright,i'm honestly losing my hope to see ANY other n64 game coming to VC.Every month that damn list of japanese releases is published,and nothing.Of course,there is also beetle adventure racing,that's stucked on the coming soon list for ages.It's not about wich games should be released anymore,it's simply the matter of releasing ANY game....

Angelic Lapras King · 28th July 2008

Me reckons they take a break from a console every once in awhile. Before, the Neo Geo had a long break. Now, its the N64....

gustavo · 28th July 2008

yeah,you probably right...i just hope they'll release some serious games when the break is over,instead of cruisin USA and others...

Kreegs · 29th July 2008

We will get them eventually. Once they run out of crap games the good ones have to show up.

Tides of Chaos · 30th July 2008

I just hope we get SOMETHING for the N64 soon. It's kinda depressing to see a console get absolutely nothing because IMO I'd rather have crap than nothing, simply because then we'll get that out of the way for good stuff like Zelda or DK64.

gaga64 · 30th July 2008

Well I'm not sure about the US release pattern, but in the EU we had Pokemon Puzzle League back at the end of May - ending the longest N64 dought to date (10 weeks between that and Cruisin' USA, which was only 3 weeks after Kirby 64).

That was 8 weeks ago, so we must be due something soon. This is the first time we've gone 2 whole calendar months without an N64 game.

gustavo · 30th July 2008

In US,there's nothing new for at least three months i guess...and beetle adventure racing is stuck on the coming soon list for not less than 8 months.

Angelic Lapras King · 30th July 2008

Well, its entirely possible we ll get a 3rd party game if JKapan isnt getting anything. Clayfighter and those other 2 that have been rated for ages are possible, so you never know...

gaga64 · 31st July 2008

It's true, Japan still has 2 N64 games to catch up on (Cruisin' USA - most likely won't head their way ever - and Pokemon Puzzle League). So there's every chance we could still get something else before them.

The shoemaker · 8th August 2008

I'm thinking same day Nintendo will announce a N64 month where we get 1 or 2 n64 games each week until the month ends. Maybe when the storage solution is released.

They do have Custom Robo V2 don't forget.

gaga64 · 11th August 2008

True, but that was always Japan-exclusive, wasn't it? So no chances of that coming this way any time soon.

gustavo · 8th December 2008

What's happening?Not only the current releases fow wii are trash(there's not a single annoucement from a famous franchise),but n64 is being completely ignored for months.Ok,no Rare titles,not now,not ever.Still....where is majora's mask and all the other great non-rare games?Coming soon?NOT quite....
We're getting close to 2009,there's not THAT much time left to make all these games avaliable.....c'mon.....

Tides of Chaos · 8th December 2008

I also hope the N64 sees some love from the VC soon. Mario Tennis was a disappointment since it left us with no way to get the Game Boy characters.

Fixed, we don't have tennis yet, and even then Mario Tennis is never a disappointment because it's absolutely amazing.

Betagam7 · 9th December 2008

Why rag on Beetle Adventure Racing? It's supposed to be a great game that many people have yet to sample and I'm looking forward to it way more than Majoras Mask which I've played on 2 different consoles already and is readily available for people to buy on disk for the Wii. (Also can't understand why anyone would prefer it on VC over disk with all the problems associated with internal memory).

gustavo · 9th December 2008

Beetle Adventure Racing is in the coming soon list for at least 1 year(yes,i'm counting),so i wouldn't hope to see it avliable so soon.Majora's is just an example,after all there are still many great non-rares unreleased.

I ve seen vids of it, and it looks pretty good. I wouldnt mind seeing it on VC.

>_< Yeah, I knew that. Anyways, I refuse to give money to Nintendo when they act lazy towards their VC games. Hence the reason I haven't bought Kid Icarus yet with it's broken password system.

I borrowed a friends' copy of it, and really enjoyed it. Will possibly pick it up if it ever arrives. I'm surprised there's no licensing issues with Volkswagen though. Nintendo had to tweak the Kawasaki jetskis in Wave Race, so would a similar thing have to happen here?

Maybe their contract with VW for the initial game was different. Maybe VW gave them the OK. Maybe there were licensing issues and they were already worked out. Etc.

How exactly is the password system broken? Nintendo clearly changed the passwords for the VC release. If your problem with it is that you wouldn't be able to use passwords to skip ahead in the game you have nothing to fear because the new passwords are easily found on sites like GameFAQs.

Hmm....I thought they had gotten rid of something really unique though like a costume or whatever. But I guess if what you say is true, I'll change my mind about it. It still doesn't give them an excuse for no ghost data on Mario Kart 64 though.
