My most anticipated Virtual Console game.

When I did my video on my top 10 most anticipated Virtual Console games, I did not think that the first game to come would be my #1 choice. But since it did, I want to show you why I enjoy playing it.

Ive never played any of these games, my first console was an xbox 360. So i came in a bit late.

Did is miss anything good?

[Draven711]

Well, they are fun. i would say that the some of the 2D fighters are far better then their 3D counterparts. Take a look at Mortal Kombat.

[tompkinskyle]

will do, i think they have that for sale on the xbox 360. Im not sure if its the exact one tho.

Thanks

[Draven711]

They do, but it's tweaked a bit. It's not a direct port of the Neo-Geo arcade game. They updated the graphics for it, and I think they added on-line play. Which would have been great if they did it for the wii as well, but i'm still pleased with what I have.

[tompkinskyle]

Yeah as long as you enjoy what you've got, theres no need for more expensive stuff.

Played the demo as well, it was pretty fun.

My favourite arcade games: Pac-man/ astroids and space invaders. Cant beat them!

[Draven711]

Ah yes, you can't beat the classics.

For me I'm not one to pay twice for the same game. Which is the main reason why I don't spend much on the Virtual Console as I own a good number of those titles already. But that's a topic for a different day.

@Draven711 just play Samurai showdown on emulator

[Draven711]

In all honesty I can not say one way or the other about Mortal Kombat Armageddon, the last MK game I played was MK3. I've heard mixed things about it; however, that's other people's opinion. If your looking for good 2D fighters I would say the old MK series, The Street Fighter 2 Series, and the Samurai Showdown Series are good picks. Killer Instinct is also good, but I think that might be a 3D fighter game more then 2D. Plus, it's better to spend $8-$9 on a game, then $30 and be disappointed.

Great video! Ive been thinking of getting one of these 2D fighting games for a while, but im not sure as to which to get. I know Street Fighter 2 is supposed to be awesome (hell, you even said it), and Showdown 2 is another greeat game on VC, but ive been interesting in Mortal Kobat Armegeddaon for Wii. Im sure its pretty cheap now, but is it worth the $30? Or should i just go with one of the VC games (that dog attack was awesome btw)?

[Draven711]

Agreed. World heroes was a exact duplicate of Street Fighter 2, but done very poorly. As I said, they soon realized that they had to give the player a gimmick to make the games different, but yet keep the same style of play.

The reason I think he is more a ninja is because there is another character in the game that has his same fighting style as him, but without the dog, and he is definitely a ninja.
