Hi Nintendo fans. How's it going? Things going good? How's the Wii treating you? Having fun playing whatever it is you kids play on it? Good. Well, here's another precious gift Nintendo has given to its most loyal fans by way of their weekly Virtual Console release. Are you ready for the excitement you can now download on your Wii? Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire Yeah. That's it. That's all you get. With that great Nintendo library to pick and choose from, Nintendo has decided to reward their faithful with this Super NES insta-classic. Mmmm, I love the smell of fanboy disappointment in the morning. Press release: Today Nintendo adds a classic Super NES(R) game to the popular Wii(TM)
video game system's Wii Shop Channel. The game goes live at 9 a.m. Pacific time. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points(TM) to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new game is:
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire(TM) (Super NES, 1-8
players, 800 Wii Points): Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is a tactical
simulation game in which the player takes the role of a ruler seeking to unite China in the era of the three kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu. The role of the ruler is to command a range of officers with differing characteristics - some cunning strategists, others brave warriors - and strengthen the military might of his or her kingdom. Foreign policy, involving forming alliances with
certain kingdoms and hatching plans to weaken others, will play a major role
in this process. Once players have developed a powerful enough military, it
will be time to expand their borders through military conquest. Ultimate
victory will only be achieved once all 43 cities in China lie within a
player's control.

what happened to the "3 every monday" thing?
SWEET MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIMMME!!!!!!!!
Haw haw! I live in Europe and don't care!
But I'm already not playing Virtua Fighter 2!
this image has officially ruined my stance on outdoor mastrubation. is there no where i'm safe from ceiling cat?
Just do what I do, don't get yourself excited for the virtual console releases every Monday. It's easier to get let down when you already have such low expectations.
I really hope Nintendo doesn't plan on doing this every time they want to release one of their SNES RPGS or similar 30+ hour games.
well, judging from the picture, watching me masturbate
"this image has officially ruined my stance on outdoor mastrubation. is there no where i'm safe from ceiling cat?"
lol...and the answer is obviously not.
Oh, Nintendo is still doing VC games? My Wii's been off for so long now that I forget these things.
Ahh, Summa, when, oh, when will you grow up?
Believe this is still just bearable unlike the sheetfest parade over on Europe. But just.
"My Wii's been off for so long now that I forget these things."
So mine is not the only one that has been idle since Zelda :)
hahahha, fuck... Never played that game cuz it always seemed like the type of game I would have rented as a kid and brought back right away claiming it was "broken" to get another rental. BOOOOOOOOORRRINGGG
I'll be sticking to emulated PS1 games until something decent comes out (Super Paper Mario.) I'm done with VC until something CLASSIC comes out like Punch Out!! or Super Metroid or something like that.
God I wish I had a 360 right about now...
I'm so far behind on VC games I doubt I'll ever catch up. I think there are at least 10 games I plan to pick up that I haven't gotten around to yet. I'll probably get to this one eventually. 3 titles per week was nice when the release list was softer but with SSX Blur, Sonic, Tiger 07, MoH Vanguard, GF:BHE and all the other stuff coming out lately, I hardly have time for the VC anymore but my wife is still loving it.
Ah, you're so right, this is incredibly disappointing. Because we all know the only reason people spent $250 on a new console with a brand new method of playing games was to hook up a wired controller and play games from the past two decades. I mean, don't get me wrong, that Zelda game was alright, but without Dr Mario, I think I'm gonna have to return this.
I actually liked this game =\
But yeah, wtf were they thinking?
The image... it's so awesome.
They don't want to make original content, and now, they don't want to release content that costs them nothing.
P.S. I liked Rot3K 3 on SNES better.
P.P.S Image made me LOL @ work.
How about a new game release? If I had wanted to play these games I would have bought them when they first came out.
as of 1 month ago, fuck the Wii
it could be sitting here in my room next to by 360/PS2/DS/PSP
but no...it sits upstairs in the living room cause the only people who acually play are family when they come to visit. and thats probably the next time i even turn the piece of shit on
this is what I camped out 18 hours in front of target for, jsus nintendo. Fanboi s can argue over how many systems have been sold, but the fact still remains. its a Gamecube+ without the games
i feel so fucking cheated what a waste of 250$. i'll probably never even spend that much on games for it over the next 5 years
ROTK4 is sweet...
But...games like this are sorta what ROMs are for.
Sure Summa, let's release all the good games all at one time and then have nothing for the rest of the console's life, rather than releasing VC games steadily ;)
Then everyone can complain about how all the good games were given in the first few months and now there's nothing left to look forward to on Mondeys, oh yeah! Fun times!
My Wii is an awesome USB device charger. I love it!
Hmmm, I think my $8.00 would be better spent on catnip, to appease our 4th dimensional kitty overlords...
I have every NES/SNES rom ever made and I can play them all on my PSP. Even multiplayer. There have only been a few good games worth getting on the VC. Like Contra, Link to the Past, R-type and a few others. Where are the goods? I want River City Ransom, I want Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the N64, I want Turok. Super Mario RPG!
Those fucking dicks. I feel cheated as well.
VC games are not a substitute for new games. I am sorry I can't get excited over playing a game I beat 20 years ago.
@RainbowBlack
Yeah, it's a Gamecube without the Gamecube games...except for the fact that it has full backwards compatibility that lets it play all Gamecube games? ;)
I'd like to see what you did at the PS2's launch, or the DS's, or the 360's. Those didn't exactly start off with 15 AAA titles in the first 4 months, so you must have just chucked them straight out the window, amirite? lol
I like how Summa has now done away with any pretense of treating Nintendo fairly and is now openly challenging Nintendo fans. As a neutral third party in this conflict, it's really fascinating. As always, I'm rooting for the underdog (Summa).
I'm actually looking forward to going home and downloading it, so nyah!
What is a "Wii"?
I just like having fun with the perception of my Nintendo hate.
I loved ROTK on the ps2, so I'll check this out. Also, I'm probably one of ten people looking forward to the Wii version of ROTK.
I want to know, who the hell is clamoring for new games? Or is not beating your games the new thing?
I have a full time job and a girlfriend, but I think I game a hell of a lot still. I'm still getting through Twilight Princess, Elebits, Tiger 07, Godfather, Super Mario World, Paper Mario: 1000 Year Door, and a few other VC games. I'm curious if people are actually beating games? or just playing them for a few hours before looking for the next big thing.
I feel like I'm freaking inundated with games between my wii and 360, to say nothing of the DS. Drought my ass, gamers are just greedy.
Summa hates Kitties and Puppies too. I won't stand for this!!!111 eleventy!
*Passes out from over-excitement.
hphm
sounds cool I would get it maybe...
now koei where is Nobunaga's Ambition II?
hmmmm hmmm
lol to the people who said vc games dont matter...err then why did they include it? the only reason id buy that gimmicky piece of shit doesnt involve swinging my arms around like a fairy. once they get mystical ninja and other good games ill actually consider buying one. till then its all ma ps3
So lamee
I love your icon.
Virtual Console does not exist to me beyond R-Type.
XBOX LIVE FTW.
@Summa: How many times a day? ;)
Summa, I loved using my PS-Triplez as a financial holding cell for $800 of my money when I spent two weeks trying to offload the thing on ANYONE on ebay.
Well, at least Urban Champion, king of shitty games, is already on the Wii. We won't have too many (100 or so) more shitty titles to go through.
Well I guess I'm the only one who actually likes this game :) They can't all be Zelda, folks. Props to Nintendo for releasing a game for us hardcore historical sim junkies, but a big raspberry for only releasing a single game this week.
Summa, my perception of your nintendo hate comes from posts like these.
I actually like the Wii's Virtual console. This game in particular doesn't mean much to me (like most RPG's), but overall the VC has enough to keep me busy for a little while.
Now the line up for the Wii? That needs a lot of work. Must get my hands on Umbrella Chronicles, and Super Mario Galaxy before I'm old and grey.
@Rainbowblack: YES!!!
I hate the Wii. Shitty games, shitty controls, shitty graphics. Enough already. No more excuses, where are the good games? Look at the piss they keep releasing. Cooking Mama? Are you serious? Oh, paper Mario. Good. Another Mario....that was made for the Gamecube. Haven't played that before. Can't wait for Mario, Metroid, Smash Bros. Such new innovative series that are taking huge departures from their previous versions....right. Ok, I'm done :)
@Broham
Metal Gear Solid...4
Halo....3
Devil May Cry...4
Ratchet and Clank...what...5?
Jak..what the hell is that series up to now?
Tom Clancy: insert shit here...4
need I go on? Every console has franchises that they make multiple games for, so.....quit your bitching and just play games
Summa's Nintendo hating persona (real or not) is fucking hilarious. He's all like "HAHAHAHAHA Take THAT Nintedo loving bitches!!"
As a Nintendo fan (among other consoles), I find his posts entertaining as hell. I know the Wii sucks monkey balls right now, but I can deal with it.
Bottom line: If you're ever insulted or offended by anything Summa posts, you're fucking gay.
I felt left in the cold on my 360 forever. I'm not the type of person who wants hundreds of shooters. I've got Gears and Rainbow Six Vegas. I really don't want anymore unless they give me a new experience or bring something new to the table. At least with the Wii I feel like I'm getting something new.
Broham: so you don't like platformers, shooters, sports or role playing games? In all seriousness, what DO you like?
I did not bother reading all the pst. I just want to say this, I think Summa's articles andreviews are disappointing and quite stupid. I have never heard him give crdeit to Nintendo. For crying ou loud he gave twilight princess a 4 out of 10. I see that pretty much all of you worship hi for some odd reason. Whil this is disappointing(even though it is a great game), my point is that Summa or whatever does not seem wortenough to call himself a vido game reviewer. Want to know why? He has one viewpoint on everything. If you look at real reviewers they are not heavily biasd as he is. They see a good thing and give credit where credit is due.
Yes Go on Muffin....go on girl. So, do you put vaseline on the Wiimote before you shove it in your ass? Or are you such a die hard fan and hold such love for Nintendo that you go without? Please, take your 12 year old ass and stare at your Shiggy poster. Maybe if you look at it long enough, he will talk back to you.
you know Summa? I almost bit. ALMOST. Then I started laughing hysterically and ignored the hate. You make me laugh Summa, that you do. Seriously though, the fact Nintendo are sticking RPG's onto the VC gives me hope that Earthbound will make it there one day. One day....
Honestly, a solid rpg that got overlooked at launch comes to the VC and people complain? Isn't this kind of the point of the damn thing, to let people check out games they might not have played otherwise?
Damn, Summa is bustin' out the hate today. haha
I hope my Wii still works. Last thing I remember doing to it was taking off the 24/7 thing
I love you Rob Summa, and I don't care who knows it.
eh, I don't mind the Nintendo hate, but I'm kind of gettin' eeked by the Summa love.
"I did not bother reading all the pst. I just want to say this, I think Summa's articles andreviews are disappointing and quite stupid. I have never heard him give crdeit to Nintendo.

Blah blah blah, go back to Gamefaqs. Fucking douche. It feels so good to actually be able to write that uncensored on here. Destructoid is one of a kind. Fuck yeah.
So for $258 I could have a SNES and about, what, 40, 50 games?
Oh well (bending over)
I have to romance three entire kingdoms? I'm not that slutty.
People, cool down. Most people already know that, actually hating N or not, Summa has taken it to be his job, nay, his moral crusade to bash anyone and anything Nintendo. Summa and Nintendo in the same article? Don't expect "objective", perceptive, consistent, unhypocritical articles with refined jokes. But Destructoid wouldn't be complete with him, right? Just give a hug, pat his head with a "yeah, yeah, whatever you say" response. ;)
@broham
aw, poor, liwle dood got his arse served on a plate? I guess it's better having original not-living-to-the-hype games (i.e. e.g. Resistance) than fun, good games, right?
Pwned, n00b.
Suma = Biggest Nintendo Fanboy Troll
That is all.
"refined jokes"
hahaha, that's not why I read Destructoid. I read Destructoid for lines like "Mmmm, I love the smell of fanboy disappointment in the morning" and picture of God-like watching-you-masturbate kitty in the sky.
Go watch your TIVOed episodes of Frasier and STFUAJPG
I'm starting to get the feeling that this is where all the tripfags hang out.
Summa being as negative as possible about anything nintendo-related and as positive as possible about any shitty Sony development and getting the most number of comments is boring. Destructoid is boring.
Incidentally, how IS the PS3 release lineup looking this week?
Splinter Cell: Double Agent?
That's all?
Okay. Thanks. Good to know.
(goes back to actually playing games)
It's not that big of a deal except that Summa only does this when it's Nintendo. Does he go on and on about how shitty Motorstorm's graphics are? no :)
He knows it's just getting him comments, and oh look I just gave him two! Goodbye Destructoid, this is some boring crap.
Aww is Mr Summa hurting from last week's fiasco in Europe?
*best John Malkovich impression*
"It hurts doesn't it? Your hopes dashed, your dreams down the toilet. And your fate is sitting right besides you."
Aww Mr. Summatoid =D I mind as well pile my comment on the hate pile for controversy's sake =D
@ pkhilson
Do you have any reason why you call me a douche?
Wht is it because i point out the obvious? Oh and wow your a bog boy now because you can swear. to tell you the truth i can swear on just about any forum. So yu see you calloing me a douch proves that you have the intelligence of a two year old.

What is it because i point out the obvious? Oh and wow your a big boy now because you can swear. to tell you the truth i can swear on just about any forum. So you see you calling me a douch proves that you have the intelligence of a two year old.
This isnt the first time this happened you fucken idiots! jesus christ.
heh, it's been too long since any real negative nintendo news, so congratulations on provoking the fanboys again. I'll prolly get a wii once Super Paper Mario's out, I've been waiting a while for that one. I'm definitely not buying a wii for its downloadable games, the 360 is much better for that. (Worms ftw) Btw, it's RAISING the question, not BEGGING the question, considering that you not pointing out a fallacy.
Unfortunately, since Summa enjoys stirring up a shit storm every time Nintendo news breaks, we can't get any opinions worth reading in the comments.
We get it, Summa. You enjoy crapping on Ninty to bait the fanboys. Can we go back to being civilized now, please? (Or at least, can we not INTENTIONALLY bring out all the fanboys/haters?)
When do I get Punch Out? I still have never beaten Mike Tyson.....
Ah, nice to see that Destructoid is still rife with anti-fanboys and those who like to flamebait them. Some things never change.
*goes back to mostly ignoring Destructoid aside from occasionally skimming the front page*
Eh, it's better then any of the crap that's coming out on the ps3.
That's exclusive
and not a racing game.
OH SNAP!!!
Crono: A triforce in your avatar and Link in your name....No fucking comment.
I want my chrono trigger dammit! Or earthbound at least, come on nintendo throw us a rpg bone
Yeah they could do better VC releases, i understand keeping people waiting but damn, oh well we see a gem come out every so often.
Heeeeheeeeeee!!!
Thatīs all I have to say. Iīm still waiting for a true Wii game (say SMG!) to hit the market. Other than that GRAW2 takes my time away anyway...
*splutter* Romance of Three Kingdoms? IV?!?! What a proverbial treasure trove of gaming! Pity I don't have a Wii :'(
Romance of 3 kingdoms. I don't think they class as games. You don't exactly play. It's like going to work, but on a snes.
