This is the Wii Shop thread. You might remember it as the Virtual Console thread. There was a time when Virtual Console and WiiWare games were meant to be discussed in separate threads, but that time is now over. This thread is for the discussion of games released on Virtual Console, WiiWare, and DSiWare.

Also, some Ys clips:

Yeah, it's kind of hokey now, but it was amazing back then!

And a video that focuses on the game's music with a little gameplay here and there:

Someone else can put up a video of Samurai Shodown 2 because I'm rather unfamiliar with the series.

I don't remember either Hydlide playing as good as Y's. It's just a nice Action RPG without an action button. Really, the combination of the fantastic music and onscreen action just come together really well.

At the time it had fantastic music, and great cinematics, both which have been surpassed years ago. The story has weakened over time too. Game play? You run into the baddies, a little of center to minimize damage to yourself. Oh and you had to be max level to beat the final baddie.
If anything it is way better then most of the crap TG CD-ROM games that came out (it pains me to say that).
I think the cinematics are there, but I'm not positive... I haven't heard any voice work yet, but I'm only up to the shrine at this point.
It takes up somewhere around 270 blocks.

On a positive note, once I get paid, Sonic SMS and Ys will finally be mine. I've been looking forward to these, even if no one else has.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
Since all the CD quality music is still intact, I'd be surprised if the voice acting isn't in there. I didn't wait for the introduction narrator to start his spiel about "Ys....a utopia"but from what I remember, that was actually contained within the original game's CD track. I think you could actually put the game CD into a standard CD player and listen to all the voice acting.

The voice acting in the intro is still there, so I'd imagine it's there for the rest of the game.
I played it for about 10 minutes last night, died after being a little overzealous with killing creatures in the beginning, and went back to other VC games that I'm in the middle of playing. Looks like fun.

This is awesome.
So is SMRPG. Thanks once again PA - your fanaticism has served me well. Fools. Every day the awesome in my collection grows stronger.
And soon, it will consume you all.

I remember when I had time to be good at games.
There's one TG CD game I'd love to get, even though it's been released for the PSP (which I don't have): Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.
I had a chance to play it, and it's one of the few non-metroidvania Castlevanias that I really enjoyed (the two NES games are just way too frustrating... and Simon's Quest is a nonlinear metroidvania precursor)

Right, if you run headlong into the enemies, they will do more damage. Coming at them from slightly above or below will reduce your damage, also. They don't just stand around and let you walk into them. They'll move quite a bit.
Cos blargh people
Y's? Really? Are you suggesting that the title means Y its/his/hers?
Are you one of those people who joins discussion threads on news posts to correct grammer/spelling, as well? Really?
The game is fun as hell... it's not like gaming isn't full of completely made up words anyway.
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197970666737/
Uh, my point was that's not the title and that people apparently adore sticking an apostrophe in any word that ends with an S.
Sorry, it's a pet peeve.
I haven't been keeping up with these threads, but why the flying fuck did they decide to release it in Europe but not America?
Because something like that was long, long overdue.
Majora's Mask.
Especially considering the fact that Nintendo has nothing lined up for the hardcore crowd.

Yeah, I've been clamoring for Dracula X: Rondo of Blood since the Virtual Console was announced. It might actually come out over here; it's been put out in Japan, I believe.
My Backloggery
Lords of Thunder and Ys are available, so I don't even really need a Turbo Duo anymore. I still -want- one, mind you, but I don't need it. ;-)

FUCK THE GOD DAMN BAT BOSS IN HIS GOD DAMN FACE.
That is all.

Yes you are. Super Metroid is too good not to play.
I really wish Nintendo would realize how retarded region locking games is. Especially for digital downloads. Apparently they have a rule that WiiWare games has to be not only in English, but also in German and French. Honestly, fuck Germany and France. Those fuckers should just learn to use English like the rest of the world.
Also, in other news, I bought Super Mario RPG last week and I've played it twice.
What the hell is wrong with me?
With Pokemon it's especially excuciating since it usually takes up to a fucking year and a half before it finally gets out of Nippon. Utterly ridiculous.
I agree to a point. And it's going to get to a point where someone's going to create a PAL-ENG region and be done with it. I meen there's absolutly no reason why I can't have a UK version of FF4 DS now as apposed to buying a US import (Which, it has to be noted, will probably be cheaper @ £32 than the domestic price), none what so ever.
I would like to think that Nintendo R&D are working on geting the emulation on the 4mb expantion pak working properly before they bring out MM or any other of the 4mb pak's games. The Gamecube Disk version was a joke.
edit: got rid of [BRACKETS] in the title

Castlevania i'd love to have the orginal. It never made it stateside.
Vasteel is one i really wanted, a pseudo sequel to military madness, but it had an action component similar to Archon.
Dungeon Explorer II: I think the orginal was great and had fantastic music, i'd love the super cd version.
Lords of Thunder: I just need to buy it.
But other then those, none of the CD games are: OMG GOT TO HAVE.
It really sucks that nintendo kinda screwed NEC with third parties and NEC picked some of the crappest games to import.....
On the original audio.
The TG CDs I think were Red Book audio compliant so the audio tracks would play in a standard CD player. The Working Design games had a one of there game characters give a warning about doing this as the first track - in case the player tried to playing the data.
