Castlevania II, Samurai Ghost, Magician Lord scare up Wii VC

I'm pretty sure that The Angry Videogame Nerd has something to say about Simon's Quest.

I have never posted here before, but would just like to say that Simon's Quest for me is the best game ever. I'll never forget the feeling of satisfaction when I finally beat the game since I felt the difficulty level overall was simply insane. I remember writing down the "clues" from villagers ("A friend awaits in the town of Aljiba" and "A flame burns atop the 6th tree in Denis Woods") and then realizing that they meant nothing. I remember falling through the invisible floors in the mansions more times than I care to count. And I remember somehow stumbling upon the solution of how to get past the dead end and proceed to the mansions at the end of the game (there were no clues whatsoever in the game that told you about this!). Definitely a classic and a true steal at $5.

Love Simon's Quest.

Isn't Samurai Ghost another import title?

I haven't felt compelled to purchase a VC game since Super Metroid arrived. There better be some amazing games come December.

What's the general vibe? Is everyone satisfied with the variety and quality of the VC releases?

Anyone else have problems with the video? I hit play and it takes me a nintendo press release page...

Yet another game I'd like to buy, but alas, Nintendo is too fucking stupid to allow me to load from my SD card to free up some space.

Samurai Ghost and Magician Lord are hilarious names.

Man the music rocked back then.

could we get some more sega love on VC?

I mean, I'm glad genesis got to see the light of day, but the Saturn had some quality titles.

Three Dirty Dwarves, Virtua Cop 2 (configured to work with the wiimote?), NiGHTS, and my personal favorite, Shining Force III. I'd gladly pay 1000 points for that (using N64 as a measuring stick here).

Hell, even Sega CD stuff...well, actually, just Sonic CD and their port of Final Fight.

My only gripe with the VC is that when it does ports of arcade games, we're doomed to get incomplete versions. I made that mistake with the original Street Fighter II. It would've been nice to have the arcade version in this case, but alas, the Console in Virtual Console throws this off.

Anyway, to get on topic, I'd like to play Simon's Quest, as my NES experience was really short. I got an NES so late, and then a GameBoy the following year, then Genesis a while after that, and the poor NES never again saw the light of day. Plus, I was little and had my parents making my game purchases with the $$ in mind, so I received many a copy of Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

Where is super mario RPG?:(

Sweet, Magician Lord

Time to pick up a Neo Geo game

This, and Samurai Showdown

Simon's Quest is what I define to be the true beginnings of the current 2D series. Non-linear maps, secrets, RPG elements, and etc.

a) I really want to see this being remade, in the same vein as the current 2D series. (changes would mainly be graphical and controls)
b) I hope the current 2D series would put back some of the stuff lost from here: Overworld which consists of more than the castle, an actual town with people, gameplay which takes into consideration the time (granted current gameplay does, but only in very minor gimmicy portions.)
