Pretty much. It wasn't even on Wii's Virtual Console.

God, Switch's VC release is so slow. I can't believe I'm paying $20 a year for this nonsense.

At 20 bucks for a YEAR I feel it is a justified price.

The library of good NES/SNES games on it are worth 20 bucks a year already IMO.

The worst thing is that I think they're probably gonna start over AGAIN with their next console.

Having these games on a streaming service is a nice idea, I'd like to see them carry it all over to their successors. Also they need a way to download games you want so you don't need an internet connection.

The Wii U Shop is still active and popular, though. That's one of the reasons why they haven't unloaded a shitload of games on Switch, because one of their biggest flops is still churning out money on the retro side.

But having them on a streaming service works better than the VC, but I have no idea what the plan is once Wii U is taken offline. There should be some sort of account carry-over of previous purchases, but that probably won't happen.

Secret of Evermore,
Bro this game didn't even sell that well and you're expecting it to come back? I have high doubts. There was a time on the Secret of Evermore boards one of the devs or programmers used to talk a lot about what happened. I wonder if he still exists.

I dare say I am pretty decent at platformers 2D and even 3D but for some reason I was never any good in the DK series.

That was six years ago. Why can Kirby, Fire Emblem, Mario, and Zelda get yearly installments, but Donkey Kong gets one game in six years, and you call us greedy?

pisses me the fuck off.

You're a ? block you didn't visit the boards back then? It was semi active.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/588645-secret-of-evermore/69012306

"the lead programmer did mention the giant chicken on rollerskates years ago, when posting here under the handle ItsBillsFault."

It doesn't seem like he exists anymore sadly.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/community/itsbillsfault

You can look through some of their post history. But damn that was a time when everyone was asking questions about any odd thing that happened in the game or why certain things were programmed a certain way and he answered them. I believe he did mention once how SoE was beyond memory capacity constantly, and I think they were fortunate to get an expansion once, but they were still beyond that.

Thats my question also. Is it a sales issue? Can't figure out why there aren't more of them.

Returns Wii and 3D sold a combined 6 or 7 million copies

Tropical Freeze on a failing Wii U sold 1 million, and the port on the Switch sold 1 million after three months of release (the last official sales figure we had of it).

Definitely not a sales issue, Donkey Kong Country has always been an elite IP for Nintendo. Issue is Donkey Kong doesn't have a dedicated studios since Rare left. Retro can't produce as fast as Rare could, and now they're working on Metroid.

I'm hoping he was just being facetious.

It's like calling F-Zero fans greedy because they want another one after we got the Nintendo Land mini-game and F-Zero tracks in Mario Kart 8.
