Virtual Console: Wii-kly Update

FFCC:MLAK is OK so far.

It basically teaches you how a Kingdom should be run. You have to Hire and Sanction adventurers to go on adventurers to other areas. You don't see them battle, but the next morning, in the morning report, you actually read the battle spam like in FFXI.

Player1 engages the Goblin A.
Goblin A inflicts 5 DMG on Player1.
Player2 casts Cura II on Player1.
Gained 5 Gil.

Stuff like that.

You basically tell you What Area / Zone you want them to explore, and what their main objective should be. Loot Treasure Chests? Kill the Boss? Gather Rare Equips? And you post it on a Bulletin Board, calling it a Behest from the King.

It costs Gil to sanction adventures to carry out a Behest. And sadly, even though you're a king, you're pretty broke. That's why you have to collect Tithes (Taxes) from your citizens each day.

The Tithes pay for the Behests.

You earn Gil and EXP to expand the Kingdom, and the cycle continues.

... It's OK so far. There are some minigames you have to take part in. Like playing Hide-and-Go-Seek with Moogles... And chasing down a foul-mouthed Penguin named "Pavlov" who calls you named like "You big Unrefined Poop".

I'm waiting for the story to pick up.

How much would it cost to buy the other three races and the rest of the dungeons? Basically everything but the costume crap.
 
Minus the 2 additional costumes(one for King and one for Chime), 1400 points, so $14 on top of the $15 for the game.

Coming June looks like they're adding 600 points worth of more DLC as well.

And isn't it a total of 3100 Devi?

1500 for game, 800 for the 3 races pack, 300 for dungeon pack, 100 for new King costume, 100 for new Chime costume, Luxurious Houses for 100 and the Sacred Shrine for 200?

So 3700 total with the DLC in June if they don't add anything else.

Just about right, yeah.

I hope things pick up soon.
 
I went ahead and did the sma- stupid thing and fully unlocked MLAAK sans fashionable wear. While I won't see any of the new stuff for a while, at least it's there.
I'm on chapter two and I'm already having fun.
EDIT: Does anyone know how to get the park Architek? I got the flowers from inside the castle, but I can't find the moogle who wants them.
Also, getting buildicite (or whatever it's called, I already forgot) is a pain in the ass. I want to build more houses, but I can't since I'd run precariously low on constructocite.

This week brings two WiiWare titles and one Virtual Console:

WiiWare

Critter Round-Up (Konami, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone - Comic Mischief, 1,000 Wii Points): The critters have escaped, and the barnyard is in chaos! It's up to you to quickly corral the animals in this puzzle-action challenge. You'll have to mend fences in a hurry to keep all the critters safe and satisfied. But the fun doesn't stop with the farmland; more than 50 challenging levels take you to several exotic locations, including the outback, the icy Arctic and more. There's even a series of minigames for when the critters get you down: Snowball Soccer, Predator Rampage, Chicken Catch and Fence Trap. Up to four players can compete or cooperate as the critters run wild. So roll up those sleeves and grab a friend-those critters won't catch themselves.

Star Soldier R (Hudson Entertainment, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone - Fantasy Violence, 800 Wii Points): Star Soldier R is a new kind of shooter where players aim for the best scores within a two- or five-minute time limit. Develop various scoring strategies, and pump out those points within the breakneck time frame. Assembled in record time to counter the advance of a powerful enemy, the mysterious Brain Forces, the "Caesar" starfighter takes off to fight for the very future of mankind. Shoot down countless enemies, upgrade your ship to the max with power-ups hidden throughout the levels and wage an all-out assault against the core of the enemy fortress. Combining the excitement of shoot-'em-ups with in-depth scoring strategies, this state-of-the-art competitive shooter will keep you coming back for more. Upload your best scores with Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, and pit your skills against the world's best fighter pilots from the comfort of your living room. Hone your skills and show the world who's boss.

Virtual Console

SKYKID (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone - Mild Cartoon Violence, 500 Wii Points): Red Baron, from the freedom- and peace-loving nation of birds, Bird Land, faces off in the skies with his rival Blue Max in this side-scrolling shooting game. Defeat the many enemies that await you as you complete your mission, using moves like the loop-the-loop to shoot down enemies from behind. Fly low to pick up bombs placed in the stage and drop them on command posts, warships or other designated targets to destroy them. Then land safely at base to proceed to the next mission. Beware of enemy fire, though-it will cause you to crash, unless you're able to recover by rapidly pressing the buttons. You can even play with a second person and fly simultaneously, sometimes helping each other and other times competing against each other. Prepare yourself and take to the skies, but make sure that the catchy background music (which became an instant classic when this game was originally released) doesn't distract you from your goal.

It would appear Dr. Mario Online Rx got pushed back to May 28 for NA.

That really brings my piss to a boil. I was looking forward to Dr. Mario Online Rx's release being the same day as my birthday.

Star Shooter R sounds ok-ish though...if it's anything like oldtime shooters such as R-Type and Gradius.
 
Boo at no Dr. Mario and yet another shitty VC title... now to wait for next week.
 
No Pokemon Ranch? What is this madness?
 
Wait a second.

Critters?

Sounds violent.
 
I'm incredibly tempted to get Star Shooter R, but with the recent release of Castle Shikigami 3, i think i shooter bug is satisfied for now.
 
From what I've read about it, it's only a 2 or 5min time attack game, with 2 levels, for $8
 
$8 for a remake of a famicom game is a pretty amazing deal. I've played the original at my co-workers house, but i wasn't willing to shell out that much money. 5 minutes is a bit short, but you can't really sit down and play a shooter all day without frying your brain.
 
I think Dr. Mario Online Rx will be out this upcoming monday.

Maybe we should make another thread to exchange friendcodes for it.

'cause people are stingy on this forum.

I made a NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams thread and it went the way of the dodo.

The biggest turn-out was for Smash Bros. Brawl, but even people are seldom on that now.
 
I liked Dr. Mario but I had no patience as a kid so I would always be tempted to whip my gameboy across the room. Same for Tetris.

Gotta love Tetris now though. As a kid you don't have much appreciation for games like that.
 
Dr. Mario Online RX is here, plus others

WiiWare™

Dr. Mario® Online Rx (Nintendo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): The doctor is in! Mario™ takes a break from his adventuring ways and once again dons his stethoscope for a new generation of germ-battling mayhem. In addition to the classic mode of using vitamins to exterminate viruses, you'll find two battle modes and an online multiplayer mode where you can hone your skills against players from around the world. Feel like challenging a friend who doesn't have Dr. Mario Online Rx? Then the WiiWare-exclusive Friend Battle Demo is just what the doctor ordered. Or maybe you'd like some help taking on those nasty viruses? Try out Virus Buster, where four players can simultaneously move capsules simply by pointing at them with a Wii Remote™ controller. Any way you look at it, Dr. Mario Online Rx is a prescription for fun that everyone can enjoy.

Family Table Tennis (Aksys Games, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): It's time for some good old family fun, and what's more fun than table tennis? Just like a real family, choose your character from a cast of four, which includes Daddy, Mommy, Sarah and Billy. There are four table tennis-tastic stages where it doesn't matter if you're an indoors or outdoors table-tennis player. Pick your poison from a gymnasium, a forest park, a beach or even an amusement park. Choose from Single or Versus mode, or select a minigame to play. In Versus mode, you and a friend can play against each other to see who is the better table-tennis player. And if Single and Versus modes aren't enough, select between three minigames, which include Target Table Tennis, Thrilling Table Tennis and Matching Table Tennis. The appealing cell-shaded graphics and endearing music, on top of the super-fun game play, will have you and your family playing from morning till night. Get your paddles ready.

Virtual Console™

City Connection™ (NES®, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone - Comic Mischief, Tobacco Reference, 500 Wii Points): Based on the arcade hit, a young man born in California sets out to tour famous sites and cities around the world. As he drives the highways surrounding these locations, the road is painted white as proof of his visit. Only once all sections of the road have been painted will he move on to the next location in his world tour. Not surprisingly, the local police will chase the driver and do their best to stop him from completing his goal. In addition, cats roam the highways and spikes lie in wait for unsuspecting drivers. To combat these dangers, the driver's customized car can jump, fire cans of oil and collect balloons to warp to a new stage. It's the ultimate road trip.

Metal Slug (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen - Blood, Violence, 900 Wii Points): Released in 1996 by SNK, Metal Slug is a side-scrolling military-action game. Players control Marco and Tarma, both members of the special-ops force Team Peregrine Falcon (commonly known as Team PF), and battle their way through stage after stage of intense action. The goal is to try to overthrow General Morden and win back the stolen weapon, the Metal Slug. Players must blast through waves of enemies and machines (while also jumping over any obstacles in the way) to advance through the stages. It's not as hopeless as it might sound, though—weapons such as heavy machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers and flamethrowers, as well as the Metal Slug itself (which appears frequently in the game), will make the battle easier. Take on General Morden with a friend to lighten your load and ramp up the excitement even more.
