Do you like VC?

I'm just wondering why people buy these old games anways? If you ask me it doesnt look worth the money. What do you think of th VC?

hmmmm....now i understand! So these game are how old?

I think it's great, so many games I never got to play that i wanted to, and the prices are low so if you get want you want it certainly is no waste of money.zenszulu

I don't know about the prices being low... Asking $8 for SNES games is kind of a lot. I'll pay it for really good games, but I think that most SNES games aren't worth $8.

They have games from the NES through the N64.

Great games from a great time and the best thing is you dont need to mess around with a disc you can just pick up and you have a large number of games at your finger tips.

They're pricy, but worth it for a few reasons

1. Reliving great games in a classic TV/controller setup. (Yes, I know it's possible on a PC, but many people don't have gamepads.)

2. Multiplayer is much easier than on a PC, although the lack of online multiplayer is irritating. It wouldn't ruin the games at all, they'd still be the same - only instead of playing with people in the same room, you could also play with people around the world.

Personally I'm pretty particular about titles I buy on the VC, but today I bought Star Fox 64 and I'm quite happy with it. I'm waiting for more N64 and Genesis classics since N64 needs an analog controller and I never owned a Genesis. 

People buy these games because they are great games, well the ones the buy, I'm not saying all the VC games are great. Personally, I love the VC, I probably play the classics more than the new games to be honest.hammer_of_thor_

Hence, I love the VC!!

I'm not impressed so far... the game selection has been pisspoor. Where's all the A-list Nintendo titles? What about all the 16-bit blockbusters that came from 3rd parties over the years? The choice titles are trickling in slowly, and not all of them even translate flawlessly.


On top of all that, you've got the steep pay scale. The games themselves are quite pricey for a simple game download, and add that in to having to buy Wii Points in chunks, its very easy to waste money or be left with unused points. Considering the MUCH less expensive and MUCH more robust options out there (albeit most are less than legal), Nintendo does not seem to be trying hard enough to make VC attractive. Seems to me like a way to rake in a quick buck against those who are too good-natured or too technology-impaired to acquire these games via emulation. ignoman

Personally, I love the VC.  I have games like mario 64 and zelda 64 and mario world, and contra 3 and f-zero, all still fun to play, and can't find them anywhere else (except illegally online)... it's worth it, but don't buy what you don'lt like.  The only problem is they need a demo channel, cause there are games on the VC I have never heard of...
