Wii and Virtual Console Release List
Release Lists Are Incorrect

Dear GBAtemp Members,

It has come to our attention that the Wii release list and the Virtual Console release list are incorrect.
The errors in the Wii release list and the Virtual Console release list (the errors in the VC release list are minor) are going to be addressed and fixed after Costello and shaunj66 get back from their vacation (see Costello's Blog).

For those wondering, there are plans of having a Virtual Console release list on the GBAtemp Portal, as well as a Virtual Console forum.

So, we ask that you do not submit a Wii release or Virtual Console release, as it will make it harder on our part when we start correcting the lists.

The lists will be fixed, so please bear with us.

We apologize for the inconvenience,

JP

Thanks very much Daileon.

I've been looking through the list, comparing them to others and trying to figure out all the errors - it's overwhelming!

I'll be ready to fix all these problems, so that we can do something fun

It's me who need to thank you and the staff for the good work ^^v!

If I find anything "unusual", I'll do my best to let you know (can I send PM if that's the case?) and fix it, and everyone will be happy and doing "something fun" XD

Is there another website where I can check the release list for virtual console games? I googled and found nothing. I want to see if Double Dragon for NES has been released already

NOTE: Not asking for roms >_>

Some of the errors:

Wii #0371 - High School Musical: Sing It! (USA)
Wii #0452 - High School Musical: Sing It (USA)
[0371 said to be PAL and 0452 was PROPER USA?]

Wii #0472 - Nights: Journey of Dreams (USA)
Wii #0572 - NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams (USA)
[0472 said to be NUKED and 0572 was PROPER]

Wii #0498 - Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (USA)
Wii #0571 - Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (USA)
[0498 said to be NUKED and 0571 was PROPER]

Wii #0510 - C.S.I: Hard Evidence (USA)
[0510 requires a PPF patch for a fix]

Wii #0523 - One Piece Unlimited Adventure (USA)
Wii #0522 - No More Heroes (USA)
[Some claim that these two require a PROPER]

 

[kmihalj]

In current list is missing: #0378 - Bee Movie The Game (PAL) (WiiERD), and all other numbers afther that should be shifted, ... or atleast that Wii release should be added.

 

[Pikachu025]

Wii #0589 - Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed (Europe)
Wii #0589 - Fishing Master (Europe)

Wii #0586 - Major League Baseball 2K8 (USA)
Wii #0586 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Japan)

Wii #0585 - Ninja Reflex (USA)
Wii #0585 - Minna no Joushiki Ryoku TV (Japan)

Yeah...

Not to be rude, but this has been busted for quite a bit. Any eta on fixing it?

From a traffic standpoint, this can be quite serious as it will drive people to discover other sites who have a working list. Just something to think about, as little things like this have been known to be the turning points for sites.

A small change is what created the Fatwallet community, for instance.

Yes, as soon as Costello and shaunj66 get home from vacation.
Let the rest a bit, of course.
Then, I along with a few others I expect, will get working a fixing the list up.

I'm concerned that it will drive a lot of people away from the site, but it's only the Wii Scene folks (GBAtemp mainly focuses on the NDS Scene).
Still, though, I am concerned and can't wait to have a correct list of both Wii releases and Virtual Console releases.

and wiiware releases

 

[Louse76]

Oh true.

I hope no one took my comment in the wrong way. I only want good for the site and that's why I said it.

I didn't realize they were on vacation. I obviously didn't read the whole thing.

Did they go on vacation together or something? Hope y'all are having a good time - sorry it had to break while you're out!

[mousan]

[death69inc]

i also asked if they would make a virtual console.dat & they said "We don't have any plans for that at the moment"

This is not an error. #0371 was a proper USA/NTSC version released independently. #0452 was a re-release and should be removed or labeled as such.

I usually don't like it when people get insulted, BUT YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!!!

Could GBAtemp make a dat generator for VC release if no other website want to do it ?
The VC database is not created yet, so you could add a crc row like GBA db.
I understand it would be difficult to make one for every renamer out there, but an xml dat could be good. (for use with ndscrc for example, with covers too)

Edit :
Helpme just below said Advanscene will do it, so no need to bother you with a dat generator anymore, thanks.
