Atari: 30 Cent Games On Wii U Virtual Console

Atari 05.17.13	Finally there are some things to keep me entertained until the release of the Wind Waker HD. Donkey Kong Country 3DS looks pretty sweet too.
DominionMM1 05.17.13	you should probably get techmo bowl
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	KIRBY
Atari 05.17.13	30 cent KIRBY!
Brostep 05.17.13	Not gonna get a Wii U, wish they had the same deals on the Wii store because I still have like 1000 points there
Atari 05.17.13	why not get a wii u? I mean there's not much out yet but there WILL be believe me
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	It sucks you can't transfer any wii stuff to the wii u. Or did they do something with that?
Atari 05.17.13	you can transfer them lol but i'm too lazy
Atari 05.17.13	there's some special way to do it though i'm positive it can be done. i'd rather pay 30 cents for a game i already have lmao
Yuli 05.17.13	How content have you been with the Wii U overall?
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	I have 3 copies of Kirby's adventure, lol. I have the original Nintendo cartridge, the Wii virtual console version, and it's also in the Kirby Collection they put out on the Wii last year that I got recently.
Atari 05.17.13	well i wasn't overly content with it at first due to the lack of games but with the release of zelda windwaker HD this fall and the virtual console finally kicking into force, it's looking quite promising. Also, the games you download on the virtual console can be played on the game pad too so you basically get a handheld version of the game too. In all honesty, I don't think the wii u has had the chance to show off its capabilities (like the touch screen/dual screens) which will pretty interesting to see once more wii u games start getting released.
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Has a system ever really had a successful launch? It seems like they always start out shitty in that first 6 months or so, and then they finally get going around and after the year mark.
Atari 05.17.13	@ecnalzen, yeah but nintendo is usually worse lol i LOVE nintendo and play mario and zelda games religiously but once the ps4 releases this fall or winter I can guarantee you they'll already have an impressive line-up of games. that's one strength sony has always had - more games.
Atari 05.17.13	i also don't think the wii u has had the chance to show off its graphics. apparantely they're better than the ps3 but that won't last long with the release of the ps4 lol
Yuli 05.17.13	One consistently shitty thing about Nintendo is that 95% of its games are always crap.
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Well, the same thing happened with the Wii and the DS. Maybe I should say -has "Nintendo" ever had a successful launch-, lol. It just seems to me like video game companies are more interested in having the system out before/around Christmas time so people will buy it up for the holidays instead of having actual games ready to be released to sustain the system in its early life.
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Meant the 3DS in my comment, not the regular DS.
Atari 05.17.13	yeah ecnalzen nintendo is definitely the worst in that aspect. however i'll take one zelda game over 10 ps3 games any day so it's always worth the wait to me
Pestiferous 05.17.13	why hello
Atari 05.17.13	"One consistently shitty thing about Nintendo is that 95% of its games are always crap" 95 percent? that's quite the overstatement man lol the 3DS already has a ton of sweet games and the wii itself had a lot of great loverlooked games as well: kirby's epic yarn, donkey kong country returns, mario galaxy 2, skyward sword... i mean i don't know if i can talk to you anymore after that comment. in the end nintendo shits over every other console.
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	"One consistently shitty thing about Nintendo is that 95% of its games are always crap." lol, it's mostly the 3rd party stuff that really just outright sucks. The actual 'Nintendo' games are usually pretty fantastic. You know, I think Xbox is the only one that doesn't really have just awesome exclusive titles. Sony has some pretty great stuff that's only on the Playstation (and of course, so does Nintendo), but, for the most part, everything that's awesome on the Xbox is also available on the Ps3. Well, except for Gears/Halo, but I have never been a huge fan of either of those franchises.
Atari 05.17.13	95 percent could you exaggerate more lol
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	I would say it's at least half for the Wii. There are some pretty awful games (cash grabs) on it.
Yuli 05.17.13	But if I don't exaggerate, nobody will pay attention!!!!!!!!
Atari 05.17.13	here's some of the 5 percent that apparentely dont' suck for the wii: Mario Galaxy mario galaxy 2 Super Smash Bros. Brawl Metroid Prime Trilogy Boom Blox Xenoblade Chronicles World of Goo Okami Kirby's Epic Yarn No More Hereos No More Heroes 2 Dead Space Extraction mario kart wii New mario bros. wii Super Paper mario Zelda Skyward Sowrd Warioland: Shake It! Donkey Kong Country Returns Mad World Cave Story there's more though
ViralOblivion 05.17.13	Twilight princess just to add haha
Atari 05.17.13	i played that one on gamcube first thouh lol but yes good point.
Atari 05.17.13	"But if I don't exaggerate, nobody will pay attention!!!!!!!!" lol well you definitely succeeded in getting my attention
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Atari, I could probably make a list so long with games on the wii that suck that the site wouldn't let me fit it all into one comment, lol.
Atari 05.17.13	lol maybe that's true but if there are games that suck that bad who would play them in the first place?
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	People that don't know any better and people with children who just want to play something, anything related to stuff they like and don't care how shitty the game is.
Atari 05.17.13	lol well name some shitty games for the wii i'm curious
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	At least that's what I learned while working at Gamestop.
Atari 05.17.13	i'm sure there are a handful of shitty games for the PS3 as well but people tend to focus on the good games : P
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 05.17.13	skyward sword
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Well, for starters, almost anything that is a movie tie in. Nintendo seems to whore those out more than the other systems. http://www.ign.com/games/reviews?platformSlug=wii&sortBy=score&sortOrder=asc This is ign's review center of Wii with the lowest rated games first. If you keep hitting the 'see 25 more' option, it just keeps going and going, lol. If you reverse the list, you will notice that a HUGE amount of the high rated games are VC games, (which are re-releases of older games, so they don't really count). Like I said though, I think it's a bout a 50-50 (maybe closer to 60-40) ratio of good to bad games. There is probably a decent amount of stuff the IGN hasn't reviewed on the Wii also. "i'm sure there are a handful of shitty games for the PS3 as well but people tend to focus on the good games : P" They all do, but the Wii just seems to excel more than the others, lol.
Atari 05.17.13	the funny thing is those movie tie-in games didn't used to suck i don't know what happened. Toy story, alladdin and the lion king all fucking ruled for SNES. ok i believe you but i choose to overlook those shitty games and focus on the great ones ;)
Ecnalzen 05.17.13	Hey, I have a wii and love a lot of the games for it. I am not arguing with you on that :D "the funny thing is those movie tie-in games didn't used to suck i don't know what happened. Toy story, alladdin and the lion king all fucking ruled for SNES." I know. Movie tie in games were great on the older platforms. It's weird how it took such a dive over the years.
Atari 05.17.13	i actually heard good things about toy story 3 though i think it got decent reviews
Ecnalzen 05.18.13	Yeah, me too. I also heard great things about the Cars 2 game. I ended up playing it a little not too long ago with my nephew and it's pretty fun.
SirDazza28 06.18.13	The first Cars game was fun to play. Open world and stuff.
