August isn't off to a good start. >_>
How hard is it to have 1 game per week?
Sadly, it seems that it's becoming rather difficult. :/
Guess Nintendo is just waiting for the Christmas season to start.
stupid copyright issues. it shouldnt be necessary for the same company to need permission from third parties to re-release the same games on another of their systems if they already had permission the first time. But its just the way the legal issues work.
Unfortunately we will probably never see The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy or Bignose the Caveman, two of the very few good unlicensed games for the NES.
And then when it comes to first party stuff like Yoshi's Island for SNES there shouldn't be an excuse for delays.
I wonder if Nintendo has some kind of internal upload limit policy and WiiWare is just hogging the show right now.
[quote name='Shidou Mariya' date='Nov 17 2010, 10:05 PM' post='4889940']
I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
Unless it's a first party title that is Nintendo owned or Nintendo was the publisher and retains those rights years later for all consoles (Typically not the case with those rights ending after a few years and being tied to a specific platform, such as R.C. Pro-Am that Rare developed and owns which Nintendo published on the NES; with Nintendo now holding no publishing rights even to produce it as a NES cartridge due to the agreement expiring many years ago), it isn't theirs to release.
They can't rerelease something that doesn't belong to them. A 3rd party title is developed by a third party and published by a third party after passing Nintendo's certification and with Nintendo recieving a slice of the pie with the necessary fees. It doesn't become Nintendo's property to do with as they please.
They don't want to pay for development or haven't gotten around to emulating the Super FX chip. So don't count on seeing Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, Star Fox 2, and Stunt Race FX anytime soon. And with us down to approximately 1 release a month, it's extremely doubtful that delay is even the right word to describe the situation for these titles. It doesn't appear to even be in the pipeline with the future of the service itself even being in serious doubt these days.

Where'd you hear this?
I could see it as a logical explanation of going from a release plan of three-a-week, to two/one-a-week to a slow trickle.
