Virtual Console TG-16 Game List (updated 11/16/09 - Street Fighter II)

[CrackTiger]

Digital Champ Battle Boxing (700 points) and Gradius Gofer No Yabou (900 points) are supposed to get released today.

I haven't been paying attention, so I don't know if any other Konami PC Engine games have been brought over here yet. But Gradius 2 is a Konami CD-ROM game from one of their popular series, so Dracula X seems as likely to come out now as it's ever going to be.

Indeed, I say the chances are looking good, & despite the fact that I already own the original, & the PSP versions, I'll buy the VC one as well.

You forgot to update the thread subject (unless you can't).

Haha, no, I can, I indeed did forget.

The action packed title known as Sim Earth was released back on June 22nd.  Won't a mod please update this list?  I'd hate for someone to miss out one of the Duo's most beloved titles.

I was just curious about this, I dont own a wii so I dont have access to the titles that are being released on the wii. My question is, are these titles original graphics? or have they been buffed up to look good on a large screen HDTV? To me it would be unappealing to spend "points" on these games if they are just gonna look like shit when displayed on the HDTV...I only have an HDTV (LCD) and Duo games alot of times look very blurred or pixelated, ofcourse for a 52'' they still look good IMO. Ofcourse many of you guys prolly still use CRT's to play all teh games. I wish I had me a nice size HDCRT for any matter I was just wondering.....

I have my nearly untouched copy of Sim Earth in a bin somewhere. I can't wait to crack that baby open soon and enjoy the fine tunes (ha!) once again.

On a sober note: why did they even bother releasing this on VC? Were they hoping to cash in on the "Sim" branding?

Like all systems in the Virtual Console, they emulate the original hardware and run the original code, so there's nothing new (outside of something minor like a copyright date or lame censorship, anyway).

or have they been buffed up to look good on a large screen HDTV?

Hell no.  In fact Hudson intentionally makes 'em look worse with mandatory Vaseline^TM blur filtering, even though none of the other systems foists such horseshit upon their customers.

I was trying to save everyone from the pain.

Street Fighter II is scheduled to be released on the Wii VC in two days. I'm almost shocked.

Wow! That's pretty crazy.

Anybody know if there will be Turbob games on the 3DS? Or was that cancelled because Hudson dissolved...
