Anyone else tired of the VC yet?

i never really understood why people are going BACK to the old games...awptimistic

Because many people, like me, haven't played some excellent titles that came long ago. If you want to consider yourself a fan of a series, you need to know its origin. It also makes you a more hardcore gamer. Hardcore gamers play all kind of games.

The VC is a great feature, and was of great importance in me getting a Wii. Nintendo knows about gaming, knows were it came from, the good classics will come with time, just be patient. But N did a great job with the VC thus far, (games aren't coming so quickly but the VC will be there even in a few years when the new console will come out) it let's me play the games I couldn't buy on my NES or SNES, for instance I bought Lolo which I didn't knew and I'm really having a lot of fun. But the most important it's that it let me play with consoles that I didn't have being a kid like the Master System, Megadrive and the most important the Neo Geo. In the period of the SNES the Neo Geo was like the rolls royce of console gaming, I wanted one but it was too expensive and I already had the SNES ( my number 1 console, even today I love her more than my PS3, yeah I'm a sentimentalist). Anyway, what I wanted to say is that N is doing a great job with the VC letting us play not only with the nintendo consoles but also with the sega ones and the neo geo. So be patient, it's a question of time before your games come out.

And for those asking for majora's mask, you can find a GC version and it shouldn't be too expensive.

I don't know how you can be "tired" of something that is completely optional. Nintendo did not have to release any of these classic games at all. We should be glad that we have another chance to play these great games.

Now, yes, some of these games are not going to appeal to everyone. However, that doesn't mean that EVERYONE is going to hate them. I'm sure a lot of people are buying some of these games because of pure nostalga, which is great. Nothing beats replaying a game from the past, even if it is very inferior to the games of today, or better games from the past.

On Nintendo's side, it would be stupid for them to release all the great games all at once. By releasing their best games slowly it creates more of a demand and therefore more of a profit. Sure, you could make an argument that "well, everyone who wants the games are going to buy them anyways!" but that's not necessarily the case. If Nintendo releases them periodically, it means that gamer's are saving their points to buy these games, instead of having to choose between some great titles.

Anyways, Nintendo is doing a great job with the VC both on the consumer satisfaction front and the financial front, so I don't think we should be complaining. Be happy for what we get, and realize that all (or, at least most) of the great games will come eventually - it's just a matter of time.

The Virtual Console is great, just a few dollars overpriced for some systems. The only one I dont think is overpriced is the N64 games, I think they're a decent value.

Also, they need more third party character based games, like the old Disney classic games, or Bugs Bunny games. Those were the best as a kid.

I don't think too many casual gamers are going to but Neo Geo games.

The whole VC really, when you think about it, is for the "hardcore gamers", so they can relive the games they loved.

I don't know if I'd say I'm tired of the VC yet, but I am frustrated. I'm not frustrated by the release schedule, which is a logical trickle out method of releasing the games, though I do crave a few that aren't yet available (who doesn't). What I am tired of is buying older games and then realizing they suck. I downloaded Street Fighter 2, which is slow and generally terrible to play. Star Fox 64 is okay, but not the blast I remember it being. Actraiser was so highly recommended that I felt compelled to try it out, and the game is decent at best. I won't be bothered with trying to finish it.

So what I'm tired of is blind buying games and relying upon nostalgic memories or nostalgic reviews to determine purchases. Nintendo needs to take a note from XBLA and have some form of demo system. Maybe a one time download with 15 or 30 minutes of play time for free, so we can see if we actually want the game. Its not enough to satisfy a gamer who actually likes the game, but enough to tell if you probably should save the points.
