Impossible Mission to hit Wii News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Impossible Mission will be the first non Virtual Console title to be downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel.
Confirmation came from the pages of the official Nintendo Power magazine, backed up by Nintendo UK.
The remake of the classic Commodore 64 game was announced earlier this year. System 3 will be re-writing the game for today's technology, but will include a retro mode if you wish to lose yourself in gaming's glorious past.
The aim of Impossible Mission is to explore an evil professor's stronghold and put an end to his tampering with national computers. You'll have to race against the clock to search for pieces of a password to gain access to his inner-chambers, whilst avoiding deadly robots and collecting various power-ups.
It's also due out on PS2, PSP, and DS and is expected this summer.

Point point :D
Well, I'd chalk this up as another win for the angle Nintendo took with this. While the XBLA is still bogged down by mobile phone remakes every week and absolutely archaic "classic" games that noone in their right mind would wanna play, the Virtual Console ensures 5ish "real" games a week (of which at least two are usually great) while also embracing new games like this. |

I hope they make sure this is a version you can complete. Some of the Impossible Mission releases really were impossible because there were vital bits of the game missing.

Interesting...
Could open up an Arcade like service on the wii... Any details on the price point? Or...err...Point point? As far as I'm aware it was always planned / mooted to have this sort of sales on the Wii, the question was a) when and b) how. And probably c) where, because there's not that much space on the wiis' memory. |

yeah, but you're cutting out the whole retail chain with its ~100% markup, also distribution and manufacturing costs etc.
How do Steam prices compare to their boxed-copy equivalents? /searches in a wastepaper basket /somersaults over robot /falls through hole in floor /bloodcurdling scream |

Didn't someone do Impossible Mission 2000 (something like that) for the Amiga? I'm sure I've played an "update" to the original classic before. Still, as long as they don't charge silly amounts of points for this (and as long as it isn't too massive a file size) I reckon I'd be willing to give it a try.

Oh! System 3 remakes!
Any chance of Last Ninja from the Amiga remade? Also a wrong title as there was about 4 of them. The VC would be perfect for episodic games too. Things like that Farenheit game from a few years ago. I think in the end they ditched the episodic elements for that as it just wasn't going to work on a PS2 or on Xbox Live at that time. It'd work today. |

Wasn't this a C64 title originally - gorgeous but a multi-load pain in the backside!! Great music. |

I seem to remember this was a top game... mind you, it was a few years ago now... wow, make that 23 years ago! The 'voice' work was really something else, as the posters at the top of this thread allude to...
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. |

I seem to remember there was lots of ways to finish this game.. The REALLY easy way was the way i always managed.. But there was a hard way too with the "real" ending - which i remember to be impossible :-)
Cant remember a hell of a lot about it tbh. I remember there was a lot of shape puzzles to be done, etc. If it's cheap, i'll get. |

Another visitor, stay awhile, stay forever!
Those haunting words are forever etched in me head! Best platformer ever on the C64, best audio/sound - beat the game twice and later on done it again on the Master system too, pure classic gaming! ~~~FunkYellowMonkey(PS3 tag)~~~

DESTROY HIM, MY ROBOTS!
I completed the C64 original several times, with no cheating - so Wrongest. Title. Ever. No, Final Fantasy sequels have that. What's "final" about something that gets a sequel? Huh? That said, I have the C64 "stick" so not only can I play Impossible Mission at the very cheap whenever I want, I can also play Uridium, Paradroid and a ton of others. Bah, I predict the chickens even put a save feature in the Wii remake. |
