So we don't get Shining Force II? Heresy. My third purchase(after MM9 and Ys 1 & 2) will probably be Sin and Punishment. Maybe Shining In The Darkness if there's points left.

I thought we were getting Shining Force II on VC today in the US.
...figures that my Wii is going in for repairs soon. :P (I've got the label and will be sending it out later.) I don't want to download anything until I get it back.
Mario Golf 64 was more fun than the Gamecube one in my opinion. Nothing beats the GBA version, though. I keep wishing for a new version of that for DS. The role playing aspects and skill building and levelling up were awesome, and damn addictive.
Anyone try the MM9 DLC yet? I'm curious about that endless mode.

I probably don't even have room for Shining Force II on my Wii.
For those who have played MG 64 when it first came out: will the lack of GBC-connectivity be a significant miss? Are the GBC characters better than the N64 ones? Do you need them to really enjoy the game, or are they trumped by Metal Mario and Maple (the best characters as far as I could gather from a quick GameFAQs check) stats-wise?

Actually, the GBA connectivity was for the GCN version, if I recall correctly.

I am talking about GBC connectivity with the N64 version. Same thing, not just the GC/GBA had it.

So you wouldn't be missing anything.
Wrong, Mario Golf GBC connects with Mario Golf 64 as well.

Oh hey, I can read.
My fault, I never played the n64 version. I didn't even know the n64 connected with any handhelds.
I owned SNES a long time ago. But on SEGA, I definitely remember it having an extra level near the end and better sound (although the music was softer.)
It's the Megadrive version.
What is that? I don't remember that in the 90's.
It's the Genesis. Megadrive was it's crazy European name.
Crazy Europeans.
And Japanese.
Silly Japanese, not knowing the proper name for the machine they built! So silly!
Looks like the thing got a lot more use in Japan, but even that's not saying much. The only games here that used it were Pokemon Stadium 1-2 (transfering your pokes... duh), Mario Golf/Tennis (play your leveled up character in 3D), and Perfect Dark (was going to let you take your picture with the GB camera and put your face in game, but that got nixxed. Instead just unlocks some cheats... woo).
Despite being yet another Nintendo peripheral that got no love, it was worth it for Pokemon Stadium. Because damn it, 2 was and still is the best console version of the games that was ever released.

I'm just gonna repeat my question in case anyone else that comes along knows the answer because I wanna know before I splurge on dlding the game on the VC:

Your downloaded characters were only good if they were like lv50+ and packing some serious stats, if I recall. The N64 characters were all pretty dang buff if you were to convert them to the stat system that the handheld games used. So yeah, you could make a wicked awesome character, but don't worry because you're not really missing much.

Personally, I never did any of the GBC connections and enjoyed the hell out of that game, so I don't think it matters too much.
Although I liked the storyline in Shining Force 1 better, I remember feeling that Shining Force 2 was so epic. Felt like it kept going on and on...
Also, everyone loves the Master Monks of 2, right?
I loved the hell out of Mario Golf on the 64. I've been waiting on a new Wii Mario Golf, but I guess that won't happen anytime soon. I never played the Gamecube version, though - is it better than 64?

No, it isn't. I wish I could explain why. There is just something about Mario Golf 64. Every golf game I have tried since just makes me wish I was playing it.

Eh, I was just making an extremely lame joke that I thought was funny during a crazy day at work. I've never played through Shining Force II, and I would really like to. It'll have to wait until Nintendo lets us have more space.
I admit I haven't paid much attention to all the crazy Nintendo news lately, but didn't they announce we'll be able to play our VC and Wiiware games directly off SD cards a few days ago? When is that supposed to happen?

Wii Mario Golf? It'll have piss poor golf swing waggle controls. You heard it here first.

Also, you Shining fans should look up Shining The Holy Ark for the Saturn. Way unappreciated. It uses that same font and everything.

I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to replay Shining the Holy Ark. Sadly, I no longer have the game or in fact the system. A VC release is probably impossible seeing as how it's a Saturn game, but maybe it'll show up on GameTap (yes, I'm dreaming).

How long is Shining Force 2? Does it requie a knowledge of the first game to really appreciate it?

I like the Wii Sports golf. Add more depth to it (more clubs, 18 holes, more courses) and tighter controls (it's too hard for soft hits/soft puts, but motion plus may be all that is needed) I think they'd have a good game.

Speaking of which, what's out today?
Look at the first poast of this page.
On a different note - they better give us a code to unlock the GBC characters in MG64.

I didn't pick up Pokemon till ruby/sapphire. I'm old, you see, and it took quite a bit of convincing.
Also I didn't own a GBC.
Also I sold my n64 a few years before the end of that gen.
Gosh.
You don't see me giving advice on molecular biology either.
I'm just lonely and wanted to make friends.
I'm so sorry.
