[Rare]

Somehow I doubt distributing their old n64 games is going to make them go out of business.  :x

Uh...Not week, just bad everything. They'll NEVER EVER get GoldenEye or Perfect Dark on there *floods the world in tears*
Unless, Rare gives in to my demands...
*Opens Secret Screen In Boardroom*
"Hello Gentleman, I have with me the motherlode of all your games' ROM that work perfectly and have game controller support. And they have the correct working emulators. Bring your games and your legal ties back to Nintendo... Or I shall release them in a very sexy virus and you will go out of business, HAHAHAHAHAHA! You have 24 Minutes.

It's not Rare's fault actually, go make complaints to Microsoft, they're the ones who bought Rare.

I'd really like to see Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I loved that game. Pokemon Snap rocks.

It definitely won't.  This falls into the magical gray area of harmless illegality.  Illegal nonetheless however, and thus I'd simply love if you wouldn't talk about it.  Not to mention this is a topic about the Wii's Virtual Console, not a 'are roms okay?' topic.

Looking at that list, there are a lot of bloody games on there.  Too bad each one is $5 and the old games I feel like playing I already own.

Finally, a good game (Donkey Kong Country 3) came out...too bad I can't get it right now. (I haven't beaten this one yet)

 

[CIPWM74]

Not JUST N64 Games. I didn't say N64 Games at all. You CAN get NG emulation. I meant EVERY SINGLE RARE GAME KNOWN TO MAN, WOMAN AND RARE.

So what's the news for today guys?

 

[Xilef]

Harvest Moon on the SNES.
Released 1998!? Woah, that's late.

 

[BellGoRiiing]

...That can't be right, you sure its not 1988? lol. Are there any other games?

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Is there somewhere I can go to look up the VC releases? I want to see if anything came out that's worth getting today.

 

[Xilef]

I haven't been here myself, but http://www.virtualconsolemondays.com/
This is where i go http://www.vc-reviews.com

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Thanks, it looks like nothing worth getting...so I'm off for a while, bye.

 

[BellGoRiiing]

Bumping this for a couple of reasons...
1. I'm glad they finally put one of my favorite games up! (Kirby 64)
2. I decided to list the new games they release every Monday using the site Xilef gave me.

 

[Yggdrassil]

K-Kirby?

No way. I have to buy it. NAO!

 

[Marcus]

It sure would be nice if they released Earthbound like they promised last year.

 

[BellGoRiiing]

That game is on the top of my wish list...(ok, it's in 2nd...but still)
They need to release it soon...

 

[Despain]

[BellGoRiiing]

NEVA!!! If I buy that game its mine! lol

 

[BellGoRiiing]

New game added....yea, game...as in singular....lol. Anyone know about this game post your description of it, please. Thanks.

Super Turrican is a sidescrolling platformer/shooter.  It was largely ignored because Contra 3 was so much better.

I wanna know what their thought process is for releasing these games.  Do the Nintendo heads sit down and say "okay, instead of releasing games people actually want to play we're going to release the ones no one wanted back in the early 90s and then laugh as every idiot on the internet complains about not having supah mairo arpeegee and urthbond."
