And about the return of a classic game I would like to see back a really well made kirby game

Well, a remake of q-bert would be fun on wiiware, well as long it was better controls and is wi-fi able. imagin, both q-berts trying to get as many colored square as possible of their own color!

Also, Alfred Chicken, a lesser known game, was a blast, good graphics and designs, and some cool intervasions.

Also high up on my list the oringanl Starfox! Gota love that music. And addition maybe starfox 2 (japan only I think) allot like starfox command DS, but you can turn your arwing into a 2 legged walking tank, and turn back into a arwing in a sec.

Some other favrites not out on VC include paper boy, Q-Bert, and among others…

Ummmm from what I see this is automatically done once you post your answer (look over my name it should say

Just pointing that out

As far as Banjo Kazooie goes, yes, I am a big fan of the older N64 titles. And just so you know Rare does not currently, nor have they ever made a game for the Wii. They were purchased by Microsoft around 2001 or 2002 and have since made games exclusively for the Xbox platforms (with the exception of some Nintendo DS games) That is why Banjo 3 is only coming to the 360 and will never be on the Wii. It’s nothing personal against Nintendo, they just made more money by developing for Microsoft and felt that they had a little more creative freedom to follow their own designs. The only Rare games you will ever see on the Wii are those on virtual console that Rare developed in the past and Nintendo still owns the rights to, such as the SNES Donkey Kong Country series. Hope that helps answer your questions.

WiiWare is really great, and it has some really great games out already, but I think it suffers from the same problem as full Wii games, developers shoveling out crap to make some cash. There’s really no way around it, the Wii has sold so well, that everyone wants to cash in on that. And because so many people own a Wii, there’s enough people to buy the crap no matter how bad it is. WiiWare really just makes it easier for shovelware games to be published.

But on the upside, it offers some really, really great gaming thats cheap and easy to get. I currently own Dr. Mario, Crystal Chronicles, Lost Winds, and Defend your Castle, and their all great games, and altogether they cost $40 (forgive me if I remembered some of the prices wrong), which is less then a normal game by itself. It’s also going to give smaller developers a chance to publish games on the Wii (hopefully).

But I think the main problem Nintendo will face is the storage issue, which they’re aware of, and hopefully have been searching for a solution. I know some may argue that Nintendo doesn’t care, but if they don’t find an answer it could possibly hurt their sales. If someone doesn’t have room for a download, and doesn’t want to remove things from the hard drive, they may end up just not buying it. I think a solution could be being able to play things directly off the SD card. I’m sure Nintendo could find a way to lock the game to the console where the game was bought, and most people already have an SD card with more memory then the Wii has by itself. But I guess what’s stopped them from doing that is the possibility of games being hacked and distributed over the internet.

While Wii Ware is opening new possibilities for smaller developers on the Wii the release of Mega Man 9 for it is by far the most interesting aspect I’ve seen yet, Mega Man hasn’t had a sequel to its original series in decades and now suddenly it’s getting a revival on of all things, a downloadable game. What this means is that while new titles from smaller developers are sure to come out it’s also a chance for larger developers including Nintendo themselves to revive older long lost but never forgotten series and breath in new life with classic graphics and gameplay.

I can’t be the only one who wants to see a real sequel to Super Mario RPG can I? Even if the game was using the exact same engine with a new story I’d be amazingly happy! Lets got get some old good ones like Sonic (who’d not love to see a new 2D sonic game based off the S&K engine?), Shining Force, Metroid, Kirby, even games like Fire Emblem could be redesigned to run Genesis/SNES graphics but with new levels, stories, gameplay options and much more!

Simply put Wii Ware offers everyone to not only relive classic gaming experiences, but also to give newcomers a chance to see what kind of games we were playing and enjoying when we were their age! Let them see why Sonic was better back in his old days, let them understand why Metroid was so amazing to begin with, give us all a chance to play Kirby after ignoring him for so long, let Fire Emblem classics finally come stateside or be designed with the a US release in mind! The possibilities of Wii Ware are endless and so should our hopes be as well my friends!

Some of the bad things are obviously lack of time and effort spent on making these games. Most of the games on Wiiware have been rated pretty average with a couple exceptions. Many of the developers do not take advantage of the wiis capabilities such as online play, mii integration, and the new pay to play downloadable content service. In fact only one game so far has the pay to play service. Another bad thing about Wiiware is the storage space on the wii. Nintendo has made sure you don’t have to buy games again after you delete them but it tends to aggravate wii owners that they can’t have it all in the Wii menu at once. A third problem with Wiiware games is that HDTV owners sometimes don’t get to experience full 480p. This was a critical mistake with Mario Party 8 and has managed to happen with a the newest wiiware games.

Although as you can see my negative paragraph is larger than the positive paragraph its important to know that even though we see mediocre Wiiware titles now, we can always look forward to new and improved titles in the future.
