Nintendo Wii (Channels and Games)

[NovaMan XP]

I got OoT and such because I didn't have an N64 for more than a week (parents got rid of it because they thought I had a seizure or something after getting heat stroke playing soccer.)

All I had was Mario 64 and I didn't even get that far... Now I'm using the Wii's VC to play the games I never had a chance to experience like others have.

[Mikero]

I never owned Ocarina of Time, and have played it through a few times. I also don't have an N64 anymore. But as I've not owned it in any way, I still lust for it.

[ChaosVortex]

It is a great game. If someone hasn't played it or beaten it, then it's a MUST download really. Mario 64 falls into that category as well, but you know, who hasn't played Mario 64?

The only real game I played to death that I want to re-own is none other than Super Smash Bros.

EDIT: Oh yes, just thought it up. Possibly some of the Mario Parties.

[Mikero]

Only Mario Party 2.

[ChaosVortex]

One Mario Party on the N64 was good for me, so I stuck around with the original.

But given the opportunity on the VC, I don't see why not.

[ASR]

Mario Party 2... was that the one with cowboy and astronaut costumes? Definitely the best one.

If you have the DS version why would you get the VC version? There is absolutely no point.

That's exactly what I meant. The DS version was rape and rendered the old one obsolete.

[Mikero]

Yes yes on both counts. That's four-COUNT 'EM!- FOUR yes'!

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'm one of the few who perfer the N64 version. <_<

[ASR]

Lame-o. Get with the times.

[Vinchenz Rock]

There was many things in the DS version that just bothered me. >_>
Very small little things, too.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Lame-o. Get with the times.

Lame-o? Sounds to me like you need to get with the times.

[ASR]

^ square

[Mikero]

I'm one of the few who perfer the N64 version. <_<

You're one of the few who STUPID all day!

[ASR]

I just cleared DKC2 at 102% for the first time in over 10 years.

I did it all over the course of the night. I've been meaning to replay it, and I just bought a Classic Controller for that purpose, so I took advantage of midwinter break.

I still say that DKC2 is probably the greatest videogame ever made, and it gets bonus points for accomplishing that as a sequel.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Lame.

DKC3 is where it's at.

*Runs*

[ASR]

Ew, no way. DKC3 is great and all, but DKC2 is better in every way. Plus, I loved the atmosphere and DKC3 was too bright.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I dunno, I really didn't like DKC2. I played it for a bit when I was younger, but I could absolutely not stop playing DKC3.

Don't know why. I just like DKC3 better.

[preventerWIND]

V likes big fat gorilla babies in pajamas.

[Mikero]

DKC3 was even bad in concept.

[ASR]

Kiddy was entirely unnecessary. It should've DK and Dixie trying to save a kidnapped Diddy.
Kiddy is practically equal to DK, anyway.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I agree on that.

But I don't know... I just so much more nostalgic feelings towards DKC3 than DKC2.

[ChaosVortex]

Ew, no way. DKC3 is great and all, but DKC2 is better in every way. Plus, I loved the atmosphere and DKC3 was too bright.

These thoughts are identical to mine concerning the game. I favored DKC2 as my favorite, since it's the one I couldn't stop replaying over and over again. DKC3 just seemed like it was just trying to "match" previous titles, what with a new kong and the previous kongs kidnapped.

I'd like to replay DKC3 right now just because I only rented it, but the game is pretty inferior.

[Vinchenz Rock]

but the game is pretty inferior.

THROUGH OPINIONS!

*Runs away, crying*

[ChaosVortex]

It was wonderful!
Bravo!
Oh I loved that!
That was great!
Well, it was pretty good...
Well it wasn't bad...
Well there were parts of it that weren't very good...
It could've been a lot better...
I didn't really like it...
It was pretty terrible...
It was bad!
It was awful!
It WAS TERRIBLE!
GET 'EM AWAY!
Hey, Boo!
BOO!

[ASR]

I'm about to play through either DKC 1 or 3 tomorrow.

Which one?

[Vinchenz Rock]

DKC aged badly, IMO.

DKC3 is where it's at.

...

^Obvious responce by Vinchenz Rock was obvious.

[ASR]

Something must be said about DKC2's story: for not having much of one in the first place, it sure is awesome and original.

Who the hell thinks "PIRATES!" for a DKC sequel?

[Vinchenz Rock]

Rare did, TWICE.

Kinda.

[ASR]

DKC3 had no pirates.

[Vinchenz Rock]

DKC64 did.

Kinda.

[Abominator]

I want DK64 on VC.

I only ever played that at a friend's house because of that stupid expansion thing.

[Vinchenz Rock]

DK64 is gold.

The only problem I see with it is that theres too many things to collect.

Yes, I also realize that I accidentally called it "Donkey Kong Country 64" up there.

[ASR]

DK64 still has good chances of making it to the VC, so I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm sure it'll be a LONG wait, though.

I loved the game to death, really, but in the end it felt too much like Banjo-Kazooie than a DKC game. Don't get me wrong, that isn't a bad thing at ALL.

I'm pretty sure it came packaged with the expansion pack thing, too.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'm pretty sure it came packaged with the expansion pack thing, too.

It did.

Too bad I didn't know about it and had to wait a week to play so I could get one. You should've seen the anger in my face when I realized it came in the box.

IT'S ADVERTISED ON THE BOX, TOO! >_<

[ASR]

Which is how I remember. A corner of the box had a small picture of it.



Looking at that, did they ever make a "game pak" of DK64 that wasn't yellow?

[Kamon]

I think the PAL version had grey "Game Paks."

[ASR]

Hehe, sucks. I remember my mom tried really hard to get me a Gold Game Pak version of Ocarina of Time, and she couldn't find one. Thus, I had the lame grey one while all my friends had the shiny gold ones.

But I got a Golden Majora's Mask! HA! That'll show 'em!


...then I found out every Majora's Mask was golden.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Every MM was golden, but only the first batch released had the holo screen on the cartridge, IIRC.

I didn't get the holo screen. :(

But I do own (and I think I mentioned this before) the rare 1.0 Ocarina of Time grey cartridge. Most 1.0 OoT cartridges are gold and thats my mine is special. :D

[ASR]

Well, my Grey OoT cartridge was obviously a 1.0 since it was purchased the day it came out. They just sold out of the Gold ones faster.
Also, my Majora's Mask had that holographic label.

ANYWAY:
I just beat Donkey Kong Country 1 pretty much exactly 2 hours. So, yay me!

[Vinchenz Rock]

Well, my Grey OoT cartridge was obviously a 1.0 since it was purchased the day it came out. They just sold out of the Gold ones faster.

Awe. I used to be the only Matrician. D:

But still, although its not worth much (eBay) that cartridge right there is very rare so you got some personal value there.

[ASR]

Too bad I sold it on eBay a couple years ago.

I actually posted the auctions here in case you guys were interested way back when.
I got $250 for my Super Nintendo, 2 controllers, and 20 games. I think it's mainly due to what games I owned, mainly all the good ones. It's important to note that I sold MegaMan X3 seperately for $40.
I sold my Nintendo 64 for only $200, with 2 controllers, the expansion pack, over 25 games, and random players guides included. It was a sad sale, but the gold mine I got for my Super Nintendo made me smile.

Unfortunately, directly after the sales, I was really pissed. However, it bought me a Gamecube, so I wasn't complaining much... until the long draught of games near launch (good games really stopped coming until SSBM.)

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'll never sell my things. EVER. MINE

But anyway, that reminds me when I got my GameCube. I got Melee for Christmas, but I didn't get my GameCube until January 10th-ish.

I spent hours just looking at the manual. :(
But then I got my GCN so it was good.

[ASR]

Well, I'm about to sell my Gamecube(s). I have two, due to some stupid crap my dad pulled, and both are 100% obsolete due to the Wii.

The second Gamecube only cost $10, anyway.

[ChaosVortex]

I would so love a DK64.

The Banjo games would be great as well, but I somehow doubt they'll appear.

[ASR]

It was made clear long ago that they will not be making any VC appearances.

It's likely they will be re-made in some way for XBOX Live! Arcade when Banjo-Threeie comes out.

[ChaosVortex]

Exactly, which is really unfair.

[ASR]

Not so much if you own a 360.

As much as I find digital media problematic, I'm still a sucker for it. When something finally goes wrong, you'll see an angry ASR.

[ChaosVortex]

A 360 is the next console I'd want right now, but at the same time, I don't have any will to actually "want" it. I'm entertained enough by a DS, a PS2, a Wii, and a PSP to boot.

[Mikero]

My school keeps busy enough that I'm more than likely working my self into an early grave, so my three Wii games and Wii sports are able to keep me busy right now. Recent events make me to delve further into Shadow Of Colossus and try Mass Effect at some point. I'd get the PS2 before the 360 though. I want to play San Andreas for #####s sakes.

[ASR]

Don't they sell it for XBOX now?
