1. XBLA

2. VC

3. PSN

While PSN has some fun games (PAIN for instance), it hasn't surpassed XBLA or VC for overall quality games.

Anything to do with consoles being online is best on XBOX LIVE.

If Nintendo would just release more and better games from NES, SNES, N64, GAMECUBE, DSi they would completely dominate, yet they continue to make money so they dont care :x

well the VC is really ONLY retro games isnt it? id say from what i've seen at friends' houses, the VC on Wii is the best. However, you can download DEMOS and FULL games on XBL. and multiplayer is much easier on the 360 also. PSN is ok for games, and it does have demos (why nintendo doesnt i dont know), it also has agood selection of PS1 games, but PS1 isnt that old, so you can find games in disc form on ps1 for the same price as what they charge on the psn.

The Wii does not have the internal space necessary to play demos. If we talk strictly games, then I would rank the VC first purely because the selection of quality titles is so broad. It is host to some of the best games ever made, after all. And dont forget WiiWare, that has some excellent games too. If we talk about other features, then both PSN and XBL outweigh it. Nintendo should really offer some more features. You can remote play DS demos, but not VC games, for instance. I couldnt rank PSN and XBL because I have only experienced PSN, and that would not be fair.

if the wii has the space to dl and play the game then surely it has the space to dl the demo. like XBLA when you dl the demo version its really the full version that just unlocks when you buy it. if you dont like it you delete it

Ah right, sorry, I was thinking of retail demos. Of course, VC and WiiWare demos would be superb, and its ridiculous Nintendo hasnt utilised them fully. There are, however, a few demos on there right now.

Well since the thread is specifically which has the best retro games, PSN Store for me. The PS1 Classics collection is just utter win.

Anything to do with consoles being online is best on XBOX LIVE.

I'm not a fan of Live. $50 a year means nothing to me, but Live just doesn't offer anything that is that outstanding in my opinion.

Thread is about retro game selection, it's free to access XBLA.

xbox has lots better arcade coin ups than VC. but VC has so many good oldschool games. however the online on the xbox games is a huge plus.

PSN i suppose i just half of what live is..well except for ps1 classics which has many games.
