ON THIS NOTE

Hypothetically speaking, if I were to attempt to acquire the rights to one of the games I've translated, like say Cyber Knight and Cyber Knight 2, how would I go about shopping these games to Nintendo for publication on their virtual console?

More info posted:
http://gonintendo.com/?p=9973

The following was apparently posted by GamesTM staff member Ash, on their forums:

Everybody seems to be grasping the wrong end of the stick, where that comment’s concerned. The mystery game in question isn’t actually a console game and wasn’t made in Japan. So everyone who’s guessing at Mario RPG or NiGHTS 2 is going to be disappointed.

My initial reaction is GB/GBC/GBA on the VC -- however the "wasn't made in Japan" part is kind of throwing that theory out the window.

Perhaps playable game and watch games. That you can download to the DS...

As it would be kinda weird to play game and watch games on a console.


Or maybe classic PC games ?

Sam and Max
Lemmings
jazz jackrabbit
Where in the world is carmen sandiego? (:p)

none of thsoe were made in japan right?

Then again you don't just release one PC game. If your gonna release PC games


Plus, wasn't virtual boy a handheld? so its still in the running. But, judging on his comment it seems doubtful. Just b/c of the fact that its also a console, I think. Therefore it seems that there's not much in there that would make you infer that.

I love it when the press makes you play wheres waldo with leaked information.

"I know something you don't know, and you've been wanting it for 10 years. I can't tell you what it is because its a secret. Even though our magazine is published on a strict deadline i don't know when this will go to print *wink wink* so i'll give you hints that could lead to anything on the face of the earth. Then instead of actually reporting on this, i'll visit random web forums and say that you're all wrong. If you're lucky i'll narrow it down to something that was created outside japan, which encompasses 99.9% of the earth."

Awesome

As a developer, i would never give someone like that any information. Instead of promoting our products he's taking this "secret" and holding it over our *potential market* as if they're not worthy of the info. There's a right way to handle an exclusive scoop and a wrong way...

And if he's really not supposed to talk about it, then he shouldn't be hinting at all. NDA's are a bitch, but if you want the info you have to know how to keep your mouth shut.

Probaly Duke Nukem Forever BETA...yeah right

It would be cool if it was Dinosaur Planet or Eternal Darkness. But then again it could be something that every one anticipates and when they tell info about it people will say "oh........ thats it?" And it will be forgoten about.

Sega Sonic Arcade would be my first guess if it was something "OMFG PEOPLE WANT 4EVA'!!!!" and not a console title.
I guess they'd find a way to replace the controls with an alternative on the Wii.

Could be any Atari arcade game, such as those in Xbox live.

I think they are fumbling around too much with this whole thing. It's likely, A) a console game, B) had a japanese release, C) less than 10 years old, or D) combinations of some or all of the above.

Otherwise, a non-console game, that never saw a japanese release, that the retro gaming scene has been up in arms about for over a decade is rather slim pickins. And probably not going to live up to the hyperbole this douchebag started.

Just a dumb guess but could it be the Fire Emblem games translated, I highly doubt it though because nintendo would be to lazy to do that, but it would be pretty cool.

That BS Zelda thread has got me thinking... Would that qualify for Virtual console? After all, that originally aired 10 years ago.
