The Conduit

If you liked WipEout I really don't see how you couldn't like F-Zero. I would easily recommend it to anyone who likes competitive racing games. If Mario Kart is the only type of racing game you like, then I wouldn't recomned F-Zero.

I buy a few racing games each generation, and F-Zero is one of the games I would buy if it came out. I didn't get it on GC mostly because when I was buying games for my GC I wasn't aware that it came out.

There's really no comparison between Wii Boxing and Punch-Out!! They're completely different types of games. Punch-Out!! plays much like the classic NES and SNES games, with motions taking the place of B and A buttons. It's binary, not analogue, like Wii Boxing is, with precise timing and preset animations.

That being said, Punch-Out!! Wii is a great game if you loved the classics, with way more content, deeper gameplay, and a fantastic difficulty curve. Play with motions if you want more immersion and calorie burning, or play it NES-style if you want more precision and relaxation.

And if you want a kickass golf game for Wii, get Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 with Wii MotionPlus bundle. It's amazing. No confusing backswing with foreswing or out of control putting. Controls are precise and responsive, and incredibly immersive. Also comes with a disc golf mode which is great for multiplayer.

@Hapimeses, because you have to make a new town in order for the punch-out!! code to work. It only works in that town supposedly. So unless you want your town name to be Tzu then you would have to have two cards to transfer the game back to your town (you can visit between towns by having both memory cards inserted. So you go dump off the game in your town then you can delete the old town. This is the Animal Crossing on GCN not Wii. They took out the NES games for the DS and Wii game since they were about to start using the VC on Wii. So the only version that has old NES games on it is the GCN version or first version.

Okay, now for this new Town name and name, this is what it is if you want PunchOut.
TOWN NAME:Tzu
NAME: (sp)Lao ----- The (sp) means a space so it should look like this.
Town Name:Tzu
Name: Lao (Only 1 space)

And here is the code to get Punch Out!

I haven't tried it yet so not sure if it works but the person on the forum says he tried it and it worked. Gamefaqs has most of the codes for the other NES game. I picked up AC for GCN used again for about $15 (I am sure you can find it cheaper). I am not sure why I sold it before since it has all those NES games. I would get the Wii version to play though mainly because there are a lot of improvements in the gameplay, but if you are wanting old school NES games it is perfect to pick up the GCN version since you just have to go to Nook and give him a code for most games.

Those are from Gamefaqs website and there are a few more like Soccer, Tennis, etc..

Excitebike, Punch-Out!!, and Balloon Fight are very fun games for me. I for some reason bought Punch-Out!! on VC right before I got the idea to get AC for GCN again.

I totally agree that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is definately worth checking out.

Also, since you wanted to hear about virtual console games and RPGs I would recommend the classic Super Nintendo RPGs.

Secret of mana has a beautiful art style, and has cooperative play, which is amazing considering it's an RPG.

Chrono trigger is still pretty unique to this day even if it's an old game. It's long and it has a very unique art style for an RPG.

Final Fantasy III (VI) Is probably good, although I haven't played it.

Super Mario RPG is yet another unique RPG. If you like Mario and RPGs, then you can't go wrong with this one.

As for new RPGs, Tales of Symphonia Dawn of a New World is coming out in Europe soon. It's not as good as the original Tales of Symphonia for Gamecube though.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is coming out soon as well. You should keep track of that game, maybe it turns out to be pretty good.

About Secret of Mana, I haven't bought it yet from the VC. I played it with an emulator not so long ago and It has aged pretty well. If you've seen chrono trigger before, it looks like that one, but the combat is kinda like zelda, but with menus for magic. There are 3 playable characters that can be played by real people after you get them through the story. The main character is a like warrior, then you get a girl with healing magic and the third one you get is a black mage... a tiny black mage :)

Here's the entry for it in wikipedia, it's got screen shots and concept art if you want to know how does the game look.
