    Does it have a US publisher yet? If not, somebody needs to send a message over Atlus's way (tried to start a thread in their forum's game suggestions thread, but for some reason, my account can't start threads).

    All this excitement around MM really makes me wanna play through it again. Think I'm gonna boot up my Collector's Disc and play some this weekend. Listening to the soundtrack really brings back the nostalgia in a big way.

    Sure, we really liked the Nyko Wing Wireless Classic Controller for use with the Nintendo Wii, but if we could choose any controller to use with Virtual Console games, it would be the originals themselves.
    Developer Komodo may have come up with a device that could pacify these desires. With the Retro Adapter (to be distributed by Innex), you'll be able to use original NES, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64 controllers with Wii Virtual Console games.
    The adapter itself resembles that of a Nintendo 64 console and has three female ports for each system. It connects to your Wii via an open GameCube port. What's even better, the Retro Adapter will work with both first- and third-party accessories, so that no-name Nintendo 64 controller you have laying around may just do the trick. In case you're wondering, yes, you'll be able to use an analog control on the N64 controller as well.
    Innex plans on officially announcing the Komodo Retro Adapter at E3 2009. While retail availability isn't yet solidified, you should be able to grab the accessory online by mid-June for around $20.

    I can't count how many times I've almost bought the Retrozone adapters at $20 a piece.

    This thing is $20 and does all three. Fuckin' right!

    Will you be able to use all three at once? Because I have a USB adapter that has a slot for an N64 controller and one for a PS controller and you can only use one at a time.

    Will that thing only be available online, or could it be out in B&M stores?

    How will it handle N64->VC games since the control style has been changed with each game?
    How will it handle the N64 controller for non-N64 games? Examples: Any SNES game: Can you make the N64's C-buttons work as the X, Y, L, R buttons from the SNES controller? And since it's using the Gamecube port, it should naturally work on a Gamecube. What about the Game Boy Player?

    There's no chance of this supporting the Rumble Pak, is there?

    So many questions.....

    Just to make sure I fully understand, if I'm using an N64 controller with that adapter playing a Gamecube game, if said game supports rumble, I can use the Rumble Pak? And I can also fully customize the controls? Like, if I wanted to go crazy and make the N64's Up-C button be recognized in the game as the A button, I could do that?

    I bought the GameCube Zelda edition so I could play it. Then I found out Nintendo rushed the port and it started randomly freezing. First-hand experience with that.

    Well, the trick is to hang back and play healer. Dart in, smack one, and dart away before you take a smack. The girl joins up after the battle. What level are you?

    But if you want to get the girl early on the restart, hit up Pandora Castle after you get through Gaia's Navel.

    Used controllers are repulsive to me, I hate not knowing who has used them. The only time I ever bought one was a Wavebird, because I could not find a new one anywhere (this was after the Wii came out). And I made sure to clean it really well when I brought it home.

    Why, oh why, would anyone, anywhere, ever want to use an original NES controller again? Sure, when the NES came out, the controllers didn't seem too bad, but that was two feet and several years ago. Back then, I didn't have giant monkey hands.

    The last time I tried to use an NES controller, it was the single most physically uncomfortable and painful controller experience I've ever had. It honestly felt like someone was shoving dull knives into my hands and I mean that without any hyperbole. On top of that, the tiny, diamond-edged D-pad which was clearly not designed for the average American adult.

    Makes me really appreciate how super-nice the 360 controller is despite the rather lackluster D-pad. Who uses those for anything besides item/inventory/map buttons now anyway?

    I'm actually playing through my copy of Collector's Edition Majora's Mask right now, and so far I've been lucky to not have any freezes. I'm scared though. I read on wikipedia that the freezing occurs less frequently if you disable rumble.

    I think the sideways Wiimote is a perfect NES pad replacement, unless you consider the removal of the razor-sharp annoying-little-brother-skull-piercing corners as a negative.

    I never had a problem with these supposed "sharp edges" on the NES pad. It wasn't like it was molded to your hand, but it worked.

    Also, call me crazy but I like my tri-pronged madness that was the N64 controller. I never used the left prong, but it was still awesome. Hori does make some nice stuff though.

    I was playing the version on The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition for GameCube, so don't let that dissuade you from getting on VC if you're interested. Still waiting to hear if anyone has the issue on that version. Hopefully Nintendo has worked it out by now.

    That sounds great. Now I just hope it can also allow you to switch around L with Z and vice versa. At the very least, the Gamecube versions of Ocarina of Time demand this.

    As for the post from the previous page saying the CC has the best pad Nintendo has made, I'll have to politely disagree. It is not bad at all. It just does something it shouldn't that I've never seen any other Nintendo D-Pad do.

    If you are holding only one direction (let's say left), and you end up putting your thumb's weight more on one corner of "left" even though you are only touching "left" (so let's say the "up" corner on "left"), whatever you're controlling will end up moving diagonally (so, up and left). It does that sort of thing on the entire CC D-Pad. It is that sensitive. It is TOO sensitive.

    Edit: Damn, every time I see those Hori N64 controllers, I always think of how CUTE they look! I hope I'm not the only one. They just look so small!

    How do you save in Majora's Mask? I'm assuming that you have to use an owl statue, because even though I got the moon tear and traded for the flower deed, I started over as if I didn't do anything at all.

    I hit the Wii menu and exited out of my game instead of saving it right then and there.

    That's pretty frustrating.

    You can only save each time you go back in time - this is less frustrating than it sounds, as you rapidly gain the abilities to manipulate time to quite a high degree.

    I won't spoil anything, but you're very close to being able to save properly - just sort out your affairs and use the flower when the time's right.

    1/2 right. You can also save via the owl statues. Though this is essentially a suspend save as you're kicked back to menu and it automatically deletes upon loading.

    It does take a significant chunk of play to get to the first save point, but after then you can save as and when you wish.

    I have a red one. It's awesome. Its stick is better than a GameCube's. It's also very sensitive. What is not very awesome are the L, R, and the two Z buttons. They feel fragile and a bit less uncomfortable than they should.

    For some reason I really dig the 64 era Zelda graphics out of all of the Zelda's. I don't know why exactly; I guess that the technical limitations sort of added to the mood of the area.

    I don't think places like the Forest/Spirit temple and the Stone Tower would be as mysterious/omnious if done in TP's graphics.

    Holy crap! Bubble Bobble Plus, finally! It's 200 points cheaper than expected, too.
    NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: POP-POWERED ADVENTURES BUBBLE UP THROUGH THE CLAY

    May 25, 2009

    With summer just around the corner, this Monday finds an especially hot mix of downloadable game offerings for the WiiWare™ and Nintendo DSiWare™ services, as well as for the Virtual Console™. Nintendo DSi™ users can become world-famous pop stars or use a new photo application to view their pictures in interesting new ways. Wii™ owners can transform into bubble-bursting dragons or hunt for melons on a mysterious island. And be sure to check out this week's Virtual Console debut, which features clay figures and stop-action animation to create a comedic twist to the street fighting genre.

    Nintendo DSiWare

    American Popstar: Road to Celebrity (Gameloft, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 800 Nintendo DSi Points™): This is your enthralling and interactive success story as a young hopeful in the music milieu. The adventure begins when you get the chance to audition at your Hollywood high school. But the road to celebrity isn't an easy one: Your secret crush is also auditioning, and so is your evil rival. This unique mix of music-themed gaming and social adventure will let you show your talents to the world, take your best photo with the Nintendo DSi system's built-in camera and meet lots of people who may help you build your career. You're about to become the greatest pop star in the world. Talk, share activities and be friendly or unfriendly with numerous characters. Customize your character's name and appearance, and develop skills and personality through your actions. Four musical mini-games include Guitar, Singing, Drums and Dance. Record your voice, take your own photos and sign autographs.

    Photo Clock (Nintendo, 1 player, 200 Nintendo DSi Points): Photo Clock allows you to enjoy the photos taken with your Nintendo DSi Camera application in a new way. Watch your images appear on the top screen of your Nintendo DSi system according to your chosen display settings (specific photos or all photos; in order or randomly displayed). Select from either an analog or digital clock, using the system's internal clock or offsetting the time however you like. Program up to three alarms – with snooze functionality for those who need it – and assign them a preset ring or use a sound created in Nintendo DSi Sound. Experience all the enjoyment of a photo album while ensuring you won't lose track of the time.

    WiiWare

There are also Super Mode rounds for you to enjoy. Determine the true ending by solving puzzles hidden on each stage to defeat the final boss.

    Virtual Console

    Clay Fighter™ (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen – Comic Mischief and Mild Cartoon Violence, 800 Wii Points): In this zany 2-D fighter, it's just another day for a humble traveling circus troupe when a meteor crash-lands in their camp. The otherworldly orb, made entirely out of interstellar clay, contaminates all the circus employees, turning them into bizarrely superpowered versions of themselves. Choose from among the unique clay creatures, such as Bonker, the cheerfully manic clown, or Blue Suede Goo, the mild-mannered Elvis impersonator turned violent vocalist. Master their “Claytalities,” like the operatic Helga's deadly high note and Bad Mr. Frosty's fists of snowball fury!

    I was looking forward to Adventure Island, but then I read a review that said the remake was really easy and my interest level has dropped drastically. At least, Bubble Bobble looks like it could be fun.

    I'm hoping for some good VC games again in the future, like Dracula X. Not a big fan of Clay Fighter.

    I suspect that the next VC thread will also be covering Wiiware stuff more heavily than this one has, at least by the topic creator. :P I know there was a bit of division in this forum many months ago on whether or not VC and Wiiware games should be kept track of in separate threads, but it seems like they've naturally converged into this thread over time.

    I won't be particularly interested in maintaining the next VC/Wiiware/Wii Store/whatever thread. Hopefully someone else will pick up the torch on the day this one gets locked.
