I would like Wii Virtual Console suggestions

[Qwerty 42]

My favorite game so far has been Gunstar Heroes, which I'd never played before now.

Thing is, we beat it.

I'd like more games in a similar vein available for the VC, exempting Contra.

The only condition is that it must have co-operative play, not alternating or single player.

Any ideas?

R-Type III, Gradius III, Axelay, Altered Beast, and Golden Axe games should be good titles. Just off the top of my head.

I don't know what kinda game Gunstar Heroes is (besides scroller), but TOEJAM AND EARL is the greatest coop game on VC.

Mario Kart if you have the controllers necessary (can you do it with Gamecube controllers? All the buttons should be there).

[General Zod]

Mario Kart if you have the controllers necessary (can you do it with Gamecube controllers? All the buttons should be there).

You can play most VC games with a gamecube controller, though N64 titles work best for this.

[Archaic`]

Sin and Punishment, assuming that the US got the same import titles we in Australia received during the Hanabi festival.

[Phantasee]

Well I meant if you could play Mario Kart with the GC controller, but I guess you answered my question.


I'm tempted to hook one up to play SMB3.

Mario Kart and S&P are fine suggestions, but remember that I'm looking for co-op. What do those two titles have to offer?

[Stark]

Mario Kart is a racing game, so it's multi even if it isn't 'coop'. S&P is just a fairly silly shooter.

Toejam and Earl, on the other hand, has a massive surreal world to explore either together or separated by splitscreen, resources to share, etc. It's a fairly silly game made awesome by the coop play.

[Bounty]

S&P is cute as a novelty but really not worth the money unless you're into crazy Japanese shooters. It has a ridiculously useless co-op mode where one player moves and the other shoots.

SMB3 has a co-op mode of sorts, where you both move through the worlds but play levels alone. And it's one of the greatest games ever. Also, Donkey Kong Country has a real co-op mode and is a decent game on it's own.

Buy every amazing game which never saw US release. Since you liked Gunstar Heroes, buy Sin & Punishment for the N64, also by Treasure.

[Stark]

Except he's expressly asking for co-op games, and S&P's co-op is stupid. Can't you read?

TOEJAM AND EARL.

[Xisiqomelir]

Except he's expressly asking for co-op games,

Yes...

and S&P's co-op is stupid. Can't you read?

Have you even played it? If there's going to be goalpost-shifting in this thread, it should at least come from the OP.

[Stark]

What? I own S&P. Are you declaring it's co-op to be awesome? How is it moving the goalposts to say 'that's shit'? If he's looking for good 2p co-op, 'you steer and I'll work the pedals' is not worth his 1200 points. He could almost get TOEJAM AND EARL and another game for that.

Are you in love with S&P? It's a bit rubbish.

[Qwerty 42]

To be fair, S&P looked like a good game, but I agree that the co-op system seemed suspect at best.
