(Staff Editor Patrick Kulikowski gives you the top ten classic games he'd love to see on the Wii Virtual Console service.)
"Can you believe that come this November, Nintendo’s Wii Virtual Console service will have been around for six years? Since then, it’s gained a plethora of digital versions of our favorite, classic titles.
The amount of classic titles that one can purchase digitally on the Wii Shop Channel is staggering, but you’re nuts if you think that there aren’t any other titles that could be re-released on it. Nintendo’s Virtual Console offerings every week have been disappointingly sparse for the past few years, and they really shouldn’t be, because there are oodles of titles still missing in North America, Japan and Europe.
In the vein of my previous article in which I point out some games that Playstation Network is still missing, I now present to you the top ten NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 games that are still noticeably absent from Nintendo’s Wii Virtual Cons...
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Happy Earthbound was #1. Yoshi's Island is my second and the original Contra is my third. Wii U maybe?
excitebike 64
maybe a NEW decent CONTRA will be made for wii-U
All I have to say is.... Why isn't Lufia or Lufia out yet!!! Lufia 2 was my all time favourite Super Nintendo game!
