Xbox Live may be the greatest online service of the 3 (can we even say the Wii supports online play at this point?) but I have to say the Wii VC blows away the Arcade.

Microsoft struggles to release even 2 games a month yet Nintendo release 3-4 games a WEEK, and at least one of those is a must buy. Some people say that this is because MS is trying to update the old games and adding online play and new features but all this seams to do is break perfectly good arcade games (SF2 and Contra anyone?).

No doubt the Arcade has some great looking titles coming out (Castle Crashers, Worms HD) but the Wii has only been out for 3 months and it alreayd has a good 30 games more than XBLA and many more "must buys".

The games released over Arcade are changed or enhanced in some way. Multiplayer, enhanced/retouched graphics, widescreen and HD support, leaderboards, etc.

VC is just a ridiculously overpriced ROM service. Just like the idiots that pay 99 cents for song on iTunes when, let's face it, the music is free elsewhere. The VC is worse though - because the games cost 5 to 10 bucks each!

Paying five to ten bucks for straight up ROMS is idiocy (especially when the actual physical game itself is cheaper 90% of the time,) plain and simple.
