Classic games on virtual console for nintendo wii?

prophecy718 · 12-01-2008, 04:59 PM

Any word on any TMNT classic games being released in the future?

There's only been one. I think it would be good idea if they released more for the 25th anniversary at least.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was listed briefly at one time, and then subsequently pulled.

We should be thinking about those poor PlayStation 3 owners. They don't have any retro downloadable TMNT games at all.

yeah I dontk now why they dont do that. Getting something listed on VC is super easy. You pay nintendo, they pull the rom from archives and put it on their server, done deal. No extra code, no nothing.

...There's nothing to miss out on. If you're referring to the TMNT II on Virtual Console, I just said it was pulled from the listing before it was released.

I'm missing the part where any of us are supposed to care. ROMs of all the TMNT games are readily available to play on PC (have been for a decade), along with the emulators to play them with.

*Ninjinister* · 12-01-2008, 10:16 PM

Same reason people buy DVDs, Andrew. Because it's legal.

jimmyjams · 12-01-2008, 11:44 PM

yea, I was thinking the same thing, HOPING they do release more soon. Is there a way we can request them?? maybe do like a petition??

I enjoy supporting the things I enjoy. For instance, I cant begin to tell you how many times i have purchased the same classic mario games in various formats.

There are quite a few emulators that are not only free but legal. console classix comes to mind.

Most, if not all, emulators, are legal. bleem! comes to mind, as well as the fact that Sega actually runs their compilation discs on a modified version of a commercial emulator - K-Gen, if I'm not mistaken.

It's the ROMs that have shady legal status.

Ok gotcha, thought you meant emulators.

Anybody know who can be contact to see if tmnt classic games get on their online list??

prophecy718 · 12-22-2008, 10:40 AM

^^^ my guess? Mirage or konami?

In my opinion, the 25th anniversary is coming up next year,so they may as well do something with the video games also

*Kendamu* · 12-22-2008, 09:00 PM

For the 25th, I'd like to see some VC releases. At the very least, Turtles in Time for SNES would be nice to see playable again (outisde of ROMs that I may or may not have...).

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-23-2008, 05:07 PM

It won't happen. Have you seen the sad state of the Virtual Console lately? There are too many third parties to pay off for a simple NES ROM (Mirage, Fred Wolf, Konami, Ubisoft). The only reason they released the first one was to cross-promote the new film.

prophecy718 · 12-30-2008, 11:38 AM

damn that sucks

*Candy Kappa* · 12-31-2008, 05:09 AM

it would be awesome to get turtles in time back

LeoNerdo · 01-02-2009, 07:44 PM

i really hope the rest of them do get released some day. i tried out hyperstone heist w/ the homebrew channel because i never had a genesis and my friend and i have played through turtles in time so many times it doesnt last 20 minutes. anyways it was a load of fun even missing some of the cool music and graphical things from turtles in time.
