GBA Slot Flash Cartridge [or something to insert a black SD card] because full games?! that's my only guess if they are doing that.

pwnsause5966d ago

mhh, I guess we will see the virtual console soon on the wii, yea we will possibly see a GBA flash Cartridge, that would make me think positive about the wii on it not being a fad.

DiLeCtioN5966d ago

its good to have top handhelds like ds and psp

Eamon5966d ago

Do you stream the games off the Wii onto the DS

or is it actual downloading.

I bet they are gonna sell blank 1gb or 512mb DS Slot-1 Cartriges then sell the games cheap on Wii Shop Channel. But this is good.

Next up: THEY NEED TO ANNOUCE SUPER SMASH BROS DS

I'm still waiting for the option to play VC games on the DS. It can't be that hard to format a VC game to play off a SD card.

brodels5966d ago

yea this is pretty sweet... and hopefully they make a flash cart for the DS so I can hold all my VC games on it. that'd be even more SWEEEEET

How Was I Supposed to Know THAT? ~ Obtuse Things in Games - Volume Four

Phil writes, "Today is National Puzzle Day, and it's a day for celebration of all things that twist, melt, bust, or otherwise perplex your brain puzzle-wise. It seems like a fantastic day to bring back an old favorite article series that hasn't seen much action recently. It's "How Was I Supposed to Know THAT!?", where we take a look at those frustratingly obtuse parts of games, whether for progression purposes or just plain ol' devious puzzles that one would have to be an absolute genius of a specialized field to solve. These following five games each have a particularly perplexing part or puzzle in them that possess some kind of masterful amount of outside information or knowledge to get past or solve them."

Never been a fan of the kind of game design where you need a guide to be able to do it, some might say it's quirky but I think it's dumb.

That's why The Witness is so good, the puzzles are often confusing and very difficult but there's always a logical solution if you think about it enough.

It's actually easier for FF IX now, contrary to what the article says. The speed increase makes the game plays at x3 the speed, but it doesn't actually make the timer go faster, so it makes getting there in 12 hours a lot easier.

gold_drake1553d ago

sure sure, but it was neeear impossible to actually get the EC2 in-time on the ps1. especially if you had the European version.

If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.

It would be nice to see both Bravely titles on the Switch.
