Games that have glitches in them on the Wii Virtual Console?

Post by dave4shmups »

I was watching a video on Youtube today of the rare Nintendo iQue, and the guy who made the video claims that there are glitches in F-Zero X on the Virtual Console-although he didn't say what they are. I thought all of the games on there were perfect ports, but I could be wrong. What games on the Virtual Console have glitches, and what are they?

I see that Wikipedia has a section about this. Several particulars about it are uncited, though, so don't take them as absolute truth.

One change I've heard of that's not mentioned there is the removal of the flashing death screen from Zelda II due to Nintendo being concerned about it causing seizures.

Thanks for the link! That's weird about Zelda II; I subscribed to Nintendo Power at the time that game came out, was an avid NES gamer, and heard nothing about seizures being caused by that screen. Of course, there are a lot more lawsuits nowadays, but still, someone would have mentioned it.

I agree, it probably never caused any actual seizures. Nintendo's probably just been overcautious about that sort of thing since Pokémon sent hundreds of kids to the hospital.
