Spinmaster is now out on Wii Virtual Console in Europe! :) (came out November 12th - today)

Link--> http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2010/11/nintendo_download_12th_november_europe


Also:

(notice the European release date)



Since literally EVERY other Neo Geo game that came out on the European VC came to the USA, I think it's safe we'll see this hit the USA Virtual Console at some point. ^_^

Sorta odd it wasn't on the Wii Data East Arcade Classics (along with the 2 Neo games on that collection: Street Hoop and Magical Drop 3), but hey, it's coming anyway (and I love 2D platformers), so I'm happy. :)

At least you guy don't have to bother with this 50Hz bullshit that Nintendo pulls off with every VC release here.

- Street Hoop

- Karnov's Revenge (Fighter's History Dynamite)

Awesome. Keep up the good work Nintendo and SNK. :)

I was shocked when I first got my Wii and I bought a NG game and it came up in 50hz. Absolutely fucking unbelievable.

Whoever made the decision to release the games in this shit format should be shot. I hope all European and Australian people have boycotted the VC, but most people are probably too stupid to even notice the difference.

Should we be worried?

Virtual Console has had few and far between releases for a while now. it's a real shame.

Er, I'm not sure if 2010 there is meant to refer to the number of Neo Geo VC releases in Japan or in the USA.. but either way, it's wrong. ;)


In 2010, Japan got *9* new Neo Geo VC releases and North America got *10*!


(Source: wikipedia - "virtual console" - "List of titles available" (in each region) - you can organize them by release date too)

Sounds good to me! ^_^

To put this as blunt as possible. Wikipedia is WRONG.
And they are very often wrong on MANY things video game related.

24 neogeo virtual console titles have been released in all 3 areas (JAPAN, USA, & EUROPE)

USA & EUROPE also have an additional 5 data east neogeo titles.

JAPAN also has 1 more title, world heroes perfect which was just released.

2007 Japan = 9 / USA = 7 / Europe = 8
2008 Japan = 10 / USA = 12 / Europe = 11
2009 Japan = 3 / USA = 0 / Europe = 0
2010 Japan = 2 / USA = 10 / Europe = 9
2011 Japan = 1 / USA = 0 / Europe = 1

these facts are straight off the Japan, USA, & Europe nintendo virtual console sites.

2011 Japan = 1 / USA = 0 / Europe = 1

Total: Japan 25/USA 29/Europe 29.

So Japan actually gets the fewest titles? Why didn't they get the Data East ones?

I agree with your Totals for the Europe and USA Neo Geo VC (29 games for each one).

Although I was right about there being 10 USA NEO GEO VC releases in the USA in 2010 (and thus so was wikipedia - they may be occasionally wrong, but are still a very useful source of info ;)

Alternative source:

http://vc.nintendolife.com/games?re...mit=Filter&humanoid=1295681175171&sort=usdate




However, for Japan, which 5 Data East titles don't they get that the USA and Europe did?

I checked the Japanese release dates for the 5 Data East games I think you're talking about at nintendolife.com (Magical Drop 2 and 3, Fighter's History Dynamite (Karnov's Revenge), Miracle Adventure (Spinmaster), and Dunk Dream (Street Hoop /Slam) and all 5 matched the wikipedia dates!

(I had to go into each game's page to find the Jap dates btw)

Maybe the Japanese official site hasn't been updated enough? or maybe they don't count the Data East games for some reason?



EDIT:

The official Japanese VC site here:

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/vc/result.html?pageID=1

shows EXACTLY what wikipedia does:

a TOTAL of 33 Japanese Neo Geo VC games (I counted them ;)

and

a total of TEN Japanese Neo Geo VC games that came out in 2010 (same as wikipedia)

Unless you were looking at a different official Japanese VC site, wikipedia was correct!

(although I was wrong, I originally said 9 Neo Geo VC games for Japan and it's really 10 ^_^ ah well..)

I dont like Download Games,i will have the Neo Geo Games Orignal and not any Downloads.

I totally agree...much rather having something tangible, but I am also looking forward to Arcade Classics Vol.2 when it finally arrives.

Everyone in Europe, please boycott the VC. These cunts dont deserve to make a cent from their shitty letterboxed 50hz crap.

Haha, done years ago. :lolz:

Seriously: Do we really need to deal with this 50hz shit in times of HDTV? Everybody I know owns at least a small LCD TV, even my parents and they're ancient. But thats Nintendo for you, always ten years behind, see their online capabilities.

Ten? More like 20.. Every TV since the early 90's has done 60hz. The SNES and MD should have supported it.

Possible. Most people here bought 50Hz TVs because they were cheaper.
