CDROM2 and Super CDROM2 games for Wii?

[Keranu]

everyone is talking about the compression etc. but no one mentioned something  else important, NO MORE LOAD TIMES!  wow its going to be great to not wait 15 seconds or more to switch  cutscenes or stages. though i will miss the little 'rrrr' when switching up music tracks.

I never thought about that, good point.

I can't say to the specifics of how the CD games will be delivered, but compression will be used to an extent.  It is highly likely that sometime in the near future Nintendo will announce a HDD for the Wii because of this.

Let the games begin!  This will finally give some due respect for the Turbo Duo.  Poor thing was a forgotten child of the 16 bit era.  hehe

I doubt Nintendo will issue a hdd, that would lead to piracy of virtual console games. It would be really cool though if they did  Thats the only thing that the wii is really missing.

Awesome first choices for CD games by Hudson.  Ys was a given but Chou Aniki? Yes, that is awesome...even if it is gay.

C'mon Valis series!

[Pcenginefx]

Yah puzzling choice with Chou Aniki, but hell I'll take anything

Here's an interesting question: Now that Hudson is planning to release their CD catalogue for the virtual console, will this mean that certain games will be redubbed? The original Turbo CD releases were notorious for their really really bad dubs and I bet Hudson now must feel really embarrassed for them.  It's not out of the question considering that some VC games have undergone edits in the past.

ya, like devils crush

Which I thought was pretty stupid as this game did not serve to demean Jewish people in any way.

I'm also hoping for more Japanese CD Turbo games getting translated and brought over here.  The amount of games we were denied was absolutely criminal.

Hmm, so I was right.  I figured this would happen.  As for redubbing, the only way I could see them spending the money to do that, is for certain games, that are in japanese only.  I just don't know if they'd spend the money to redub Last Alert, it's a great game in english, the voice acting is hilarious, but, oh well.  I could be wrong though.  But I look at it like this, it's more likely for them to redub a japanese game, & even that isn't highly likely, atleast, not at this time.

The popularity of anime and gaming had changed quite dramatically over the past 15 years, PD.  Back then, a good dub in anime and gaming was a rarity.  Nowadays, companies are being more careful.  I wouldn't be surprised if Hudson leased out dubbing rights to more well known studios who do dub work for anime like Bang Zoom!  Bang Zoom! did the dub for the Ys anime (although it is nowhere near as good as the Turbo CD version).

[ParanoiaDragon]

That's true, no doubt.  But, would Hudson want to spend the money?  That's the real question.  And I can't say for sure, one way or the other, only time will tell.  I'd say the first couple of translated games, if they happened, would be Ys 4 & Drac X(actually, with Konami localising it on PSP along with the remake, this one should be an easy bet, depending on Konami approving it ofcoarse).

You can already copy VC games to the SD card for backup, so I doubt that'd be a problem.  It's unfortunate that if Nintendo decides to add-on a HDD (which, they really should, I mean come on Nintendo keep up with the times) it will be external, and ugly, and negate any of the coolness the Wii has by being a standalone small and slick looking console.  But then again, my Wii already looks like hell thanks to the Wireless GC dongles hanging off

I don't know either Neogaf or the other site - are these reliable sources?  Looks pretty sketchy to me, and VERY premature.  I'm a little worried that Hudson is going to flood the North American with not-so-great titles (not that they've ever done that before... ahem...) and that we'll see somewhat of a repeat of what happened back in the day.  Cool your jets , Hudson!  The Wii is barely half a year old.

I think Konami ought to put the Turbo CD version of Dracula X on the VC for those who don't want to fork over a couple hundred dollars for a PSP.

As for whether Hudson will spend the money for redubbing, I don't think it'll be that big of a deal.  The most amount of time to dub dialogue in Turbo CD games is like what? One hour

[Turbo D]

wow, I didn't know you could back up your vc games. Someone on here told me that you couldn't.
