Gracias a una entrevista con Nintendo que han hecho los chicos de CVG tenemos algunos detalles más sobre la VC de Wii.
Aquí os copio la entrevista:
- Can games be stored on external media such as SD cards, and what happens if you run out of storage space?
Nintendo: Games that are downloaded can be stored either to the Wii's internal memory (512M
or onto SD cards, which plug into the SD slot on the front of the Wii. In addition the console also stores a history of all of your downloads so that if you have to delete any VC games for any reason you could re-download them for free at a later date.
- Will you be able to take your VC games to a mate's house, say, on an SD card?
Nintendo: No. All VC games will be locked to the console they are downloaded on so even if they are on an SD card they can't be used on other machines. You will have to take your Wii with you.
- Does that mean that if your console breaks you lose your VC games forever?
Nintendo: No. Nintendo will offer support to help Wii owners with problems to recover their games.
- GameCube games are played with GameCube pads. Can they be played with the Classic controller too, for those who don't actually have any GC pads?
Nintendo: Nintendo GameCube games can only be played using Nintendo GameCube controllers. The Classic Controller will not work on these games.
- Can you specify which controllers it will be possible to use for each of the VC games types (NES, SNES, PC Engine, N64)?
Nintendo: All virtual console games can be played using the Classic Controller or Nintendo GameCube pads. The Wii Remote can also be turned on its side and used as a traditional controller to play NES games. However, a game will only be playable with the control mechanism it was designed for. So, for example, you will play NES games with the D-pad, not an analogue stick or motion-sensitive functionality.
When using a mixture of Wii and GameCube controllers, the Wii Remote or Classic Controller will take priority. So if you have two Classic Controllers plugged in they instantly become player one and two regardless of how many GameCube pads are inserted.
- What about game manuals?
Nintendo: Each Virtual Console game downloaded will come with a digital instruction manual.
- We are already aware that you won't be able to gain access to the Japanese or American VC in UK with a UK console. But if you import a US or Japanese Wii into UK, will that machine be capable of accessing the UK VC servers to download and play games made available to us Brits?
Nintendo: No. The European Virtual Console will be available only to European machines. If you import an American machine they would have to connect to the American service and use American Wii Points cards to buy content. Their warranty would also be void so this is not recommended.
- Will there be a range of Wii Points cards available? How much will they cost?
Nintendo: At first, only 2000-point cards will be available. These will retail for £14.99.
- Will you be able to buy VC Points via the internet through Wii using a credit card, like you can with Xbox 360's Marketplace?
Nintendo: Yes. Wii points can also be bought online via the Wii Shop using all major credit cards and will be credited to your account. A total of 10,000 points can be stored on your Wii account at any one time.
Resumiendo:
Los juegos descargados se podrán guardar en la memoria interna de Wii (512M
o en una memory SD. Además si la borras sin querer la puedes volver a descargar sin ningún problema.Los juegos descargados solo se podrán jugar en la Wii desde la que te lo descargastes, NO se podrá jugar a ese juego en otras maquinas. Si quieres jugar a un juego de la VC en casa de un amigo tendrás que llavr tu Wii.
Nintendo ofrecerá soporte tecnico a las personas que se les fastidie la Wii para que sigan manteniedo sus juegos virtuales.
-Los juegos de GameCube solo podrán ser jugados con el PAD original de gamecube.
Todos los juegos de la consola virtual se jugaran usando el pad clasico o el pad de la gamecube. El Wii-mote podrá ser tambien utilizado para jugar a los juegos de NES, aunque sólo con la cruzeta de forma normal, es decir, por ejemplo no se podra jugar con el controlador analogico en vez de con la cruzeta.
Cada juego vendrá con un manual de instrucciones digital (en pantalla).
Los juegos no serán region free, osea que un juego bajado en una Wii europea desde los servers europeos no te servirá con una wii japonesa o americana.
Al principio solo estaran disponibles las tarjetas de 2000WP (Wii points) y costaran £14.99 (unos 20€).
Los Wii Points se podrán comprar a través de la tienda Wii mediante tarjeta de credito, la cual quedará relacionada con tu cuenta de usuario en Wii.
Saludos.
