No restore point options, no 3DS save backup feature...talks about cloning pokemon related issues for why these are disabled...

user99502793775d ago

so 3dS only... or WiiU as well? would love to cop Pokemon Red on WiiU and relive the glory days.

InTheZoneAC3775d ago

article mentioned both platforms...

Skate-AK3775d ago

They don't say the games are for both platforms. What they're talking about is just a virtual console feature that the Wii U and 3DS has to make save states on Virtual Console games. The games are only for 3ds at the moment.

user99502793775d ago

I see that, but upon a thorough Google search only indicated 3DS. No need to be all snarky about it.

Skate-AK3775d ago

Only been announced for 3DS.

So even if i have the physical copy I have to re buy my game?

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3775d ago

no.
Restore points in VC is a unlimited quick save feature.
You can create a restore point anytime and load it when ever you want on VC. But once it is loaded it overwrites the save data to that point.

Pokemon Red and Blue + Yellow on VC won't because that will give players the option to clone Pokemon.

2pacalypsenow3775d ago

But if I have a physical copy of blue shouldn't I get this digital copy for free?

SoulMikeY3775d ago

Not unless you broke the system that plays it. You bought the original one for use in a gameboy, not anything else. Do people get free cds because their cars don't play tapes anymore?

The mindset that you bought the game, so you should get it free for everything else, needs to stop. Keep the system you bought it for and stop complaining if you didn't.

2pacalypsenow3774d ago

I know I was just mocking the people who say the same about PS4 Emulation

LAWSON723774d ago

Yeah you are not proving a point...

2pacalypsenow3774d ago

Just showing how stupid those people sound.

NotoriousWhiz3774d ago

No, but if Nintendo sold a digital copy on the DS/DSi, there's a good chance that it would still work on your 3DS.

I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.

DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.
