LJSexay 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 alright, so after looking through the dreamcast section on ign, I got to the old 1999 review of Sonic Adventure, a game that I really love. I got to thinking after seeing more reviews that I would give my left arm to play all these games again. So what do you guys think - is it even possible technically to get Sega Dreamcast games on the Wii Virtual Console? I would buy like, every single game that would come out, and going by the huge Dreamcast fanbase, I wouldn't be alone. Man.. I really want this to happen now...

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Most DC games are bigger than the Wii's flash memory, so it's very unlikely. Plus, I doubt the Wii is strong enough to emulate DC games well, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Unlike every Nintendo home console prior, the Wii seems to lack an obvious expansion port for added hardware. So a hard drive attachment, while possible (there are 2 usb ports, and so far only the LAN adapter makes use of it), seems to not be in the cards. However, anyone here who has used the Wii Shop can tell you that Nintendo could stand to improve it as it stands now before getting too far ahead of themselves. Wii should be able to emulate DC fine. Sega's done several ports from DC to GC, and if it wasn't cheap and easy to do they wouldn't have bothered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 There's a difference between porting games between systems and actually emulating the hardware. There were a lot of Genesis games ported to SNES. Could the SNES have run a Genesis emulator? I doubt it. I bet PS3 and Xbox 360 could run a DC emulator, but I don't think Wii could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could the SNES have run a Genesis emulator? I doubt it. I bet PS3 and Xbox 360 could run a DC emulator, but I don't think Wii could. "Porting" implies being able to actually reproduce the game without major changes/sacrifices. As opposed to a translation, which seeks to reproduce the feel and gameplay, often at the expense of other things. I can't think many/any Genesis game actually "ported" to SNES. Just delayed multi-platform releases where the games were still materially different (see: Ballz, Boogerman). Crap soundchip + faster processor vs. excellent soundchip + slower processor usually resulted in some recoding. I do understand what you mean, though. Undoubtedly all of those games fall within spec as to make a GC port possible, but it doesn't mean the GC/Wii can directly emulate the hw making most/any of the games possible.

foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Ok so I've had my Wii and Twilight Princess since release, yet I have no more than 3 hours of playtime on TP. I'm not a Zelda fanatic, but I've always liked the games and this one is no exception. I can tell already that once I finish it I'll view it as one of the best games I've ever played. But, I can't seem to sit down for more than a short period of time and play it. I really want to get far and have a great time doing it, but I don't have the motivation. Can anyone help me?

Oh, and some sales numeros-- http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157002 Japan: Wii Outsells PS3 By Near 3:1 Ratio in January Final Fantasy XIII would be great right...about...now. By Patrick Klepek, 02/06/2007 Sony may have surpassed two million units shipped worldwide last month, but the company's sure taking a beating in Japan, courtesy of Wii. Enterbrain, Japan's largest magazine publisher, released collected sales data from the wintery month of January -- 405,000 Wiis sold to 148,000 PlayStation 3s -- and discovered Nintendo sold nearly three Wiis for every one PS3 that fell into consumers hands overseas. Enterbrain expects Nintendo to keep their lead, and if PS3's sales don't start improving before 2006 is out, a price cut would be likely. "There could be a price cut for the PS3 by the end of the year, and more software titles will hit the market. I expect the PS3 to be doing better after a while," said Enterbrain President Hirokazu Hamamura. We're still waiting on NPD Group data to see how the companies performed over here. Be still my fanboy heart. Anya *really wants to see* the January numbers. Well, they're a coming, but for now there's Japan for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait what? Can you explain a little bit more? Yes, I understand it after today. Go to that site, set up a profile, and start making a playlist. They've got a library that rivals the iTunes Music Store. The only catch is, you can't have more than 3 songs from an artist, and every playlist has to be 45 songs long. Then you pull up their Wii site (on the Wii), enter your user name, and the playlist plays over the Internet via the Wii/your TV speakers. The other way is quicker but you don't get any choice in song. You can type in an artist (say Pearl Jam*), it will play a random Pearl Jam song followed by other grunge rock choices from bands like Nirvana and other grunge bands. That's what I meant by genre earlier. *Whoever made the "Ed Vedder" Mii did an awesome job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
