Bonk's Adventure and Bomberman 93 are out on VC now.

Do VC TG16 games have the Turbo switch feature available on the controller? Bonk's just not the same without rapid spin and I would hate for newcomers to the game to miss out on that without knowing it.

IDK, I only have one wiimote, impossible to find extras.

I think I might pick up another game tonite to bring home for Thanksgiving, Monkeyball or Raving Rabbids, any impressions from people who have played either?

Monkey ball is fun, and I start flipping out when I play it.

Bonk has it, it's mapped to the B Button on the Wii Remote.

I bought this last night. Yes it does. The "B" trigger, when you play with the wiimote, is the Turbo switch.

Love Bonk.

Damn, schooled. by child.

The official VC FAQ's response to the space question:

delete games.

Of course once you buy them if you delete them redownloading them costs you nothing.

Bonk sucks, Bonk 2 is at least somewhat fun.

Am I the only Wii owner that thinks the VC totally sucks?

Not like I know firsthand because I can't get my unit to pick up my wireless, but really, why are you people paying these ridiculous amounts of money for old games? I can see when good, rare games come out, but now it's silly.

Filling your channels with fun rocks!

Yeah it's way overpriced but the whole thing is just slick. I bought Bonk to try the whole thing out, and I like it. I bought 20 bucks of points so I'll grab some other stuff later.

Things Nintendo needs to do to make the VC great:
-Add online functionality to games. 4p online Goldeneye will make people drop cash.
-Lower prices.

That's about it. Being able to use the CC, Wiimote, and GC controller for most of these is a huge plus. Having all the games there on your Wii is nice. I don't really like playing emus on my computer because I still haven't found a good controller. That and my computer isn't near the couch, I need a laptop.

It's pretty much the same reason why I got the GC player for my GC. I like playing games on my couch in my den.

What games are actually ready right now?

[magnifiedplaid]

I just bought Raving Rabbids on a whim and man is it fucking awesome.

The bunnies are hilarious and the disco game alone is keeping me glued to the screen.

This will hold me over until Wario Ware hits.

I agree with this. Rayman and Super Monkey Ball are actually my two favorite launch titles so far. I have only played about five hours of Zelda, because Rayman and Monkey Ball are too fun to put down
