Any chance of Sega CD games on the Virtual Console?

I remember playing great games like Slam City and Night Trap and I'd love to play them again for nostalgia purposes. Will it ever happen?

It could happen but it's up to Nintendo and SEGA to work out a deal and develop an emulator for the Wii.

from what i've seen, CD games won't show up because of size limitations. so no sega CD or saturn.BrunoBRS

the size of the games would be too large unless you have a 32GB sd card and 99% of wii owners dont have an sd card higher than 4 GB. i think if they come on vc then it wont let you download them unless you have more than 2 Gb for it

were there even any sweet games that were on Sega CD? I can't recall a single one....

Only Sonic CD should be on there if they did that.

and How large are the Saturn games compared to the N64 games?

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="LoserMike"] That's false. There's some Turbo-Grafx CD games on the Virtual Console.LoserMike

Excellent point. Virtual Console games are no longer CD's and can break the rules for how much memory is needed to contain them by means of compression.

There's a big problem with naysaying Sega CD games can't be redone though. Vay for Sega CD game that has already been rereleased on the Iphone. While the game itself isn't noteworthy (Working Designs touched it once, for what it's worth) the fact is they added to it and it still ran fine.

Just don't come between a fan of Snatcher and the possibility of Sega CD being relavant. Or Shining Force fans for that matter.

For me it's not an issue of could it, but rather what games would I want for it? I can't think of any games other than Sonic I would want from Sega CD.wiifan001

I could care less about Sega CD, and I doubt we'll ever see them on the VC. What's next? Saturn games? Virtual Boy?

I think Sewer Shark was the best game. It outsold alll the other Sewer simluators (or SewSims) as we used to call them.

Virtual Boy? No. Although Nintendo loves busting out useless periferals...this won't ever happen for a very small handfull of titles.

Saturn? Why not?

Panzer Dragoon

Dragon Force

Phantasy Star Collection

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete

Shining in the Holy Ark

Shining Force 3

Dark Savior

Tactics Ogre

Since Sonic CD is the game every one wants couldn't they some how re-release it on Wii Ware? TheColbert

You, sir, win this thread. Great idea!

It depends on the game, but in general Saturn games are much larger. But you can put that idea to rest. The Wii isn't powerful enough to emulate the Saturn.Rocky32189

It's just not the Wii. For some reason, Saturn emulation has been abnormally cumbersome.

It's hard to tell one processor that it's actually two. Even harder when it's dedicated.

Sega got around all this when they made Sega Ages, but you know, based all western releases on the strength of Outrun 2006.

Leaving us to never enjoy this or that.

It's not too late for one last round of PS2 rehashes sega..

I'd like to see some sega cd games on vc like Frankenstein, Bram Stroker's Dracula, Don't need sonic CD (Already have two copies), and a Sequel of Eternal Champions 2: Challenge from the Darkside online for WiiWare (Oh how I dream of the day I get to play a new Eternal Champions online, I'd destroy you all with Shadow).

But I'd much rather see Sega 32X gameson the VC or sequels on WiiWare. I'd love to play through Tempo 2 and Chaotix 2.

I know you guys are young wii fans and I'ma let you finish but Snatcher for sega cd is one of the best games of ALL TIME

You already can play Sonic CD on your Wii as part of the Sonic Gems Collection Gamecube game. It also has Sonic R, Sonic The Fighters (!) and assorted Game Gear Sonics.

N64 games are larger than Sega CD games, and about the same as Saturn games.

It really shouldn't be a problem.
