Controversial, but true.

This thread is about the VC and emulation. 

My point is basically that every game on the VC and 100,000,000 more are available for free on the internet Conjuration

But its ilegal to download them

So are alot of things, but people do them anyway. 
Actually, it is legal to dl those roms if you own the original copy of the game.

Legal for your personal use. ROMS are still illegal if you distribute them over the web and even if you have the original copy of the game.

Yes, you are correct.

This thread is about the VC and emulation.
A true gamer doesn't resort to that for many reasons.
But in the real world, people do use emulators. LOTS of people. And that's why I see the VC as a risk Nintendo probably shouldn't have taken. The problem is so widespread that I just don't see this working out for Nintendo.

What do you think? Is emulation so widespread that the VC is already doomed? Honestly, you know what I'm talking about. Conjuration

That true gamer thing isn't true.  If it weren't for emulation I would have never bought a NES or a Genesis again.  Emulation helps true gamers appreciate games they got rid of when they were younger.

I don't think the VC is going to fail.  Sure, alot of people know about emulation but there are many more that don't. 

I don't do emulation much anymore, just the VC.  And that's only for SNES games.

Interesting.  But in your case, you must be one in a million.  I think what your saying is that you sort of used emulation as a way to pre-view or rent games before you decided to actually go buy them.  You did the right thing in the end, but I'd be willing to bet the only console out there that's possibly benefited from emulation is the original X Box.  How many people would actually go out and do what you did?  I'd bet not many.  But who knows.

I think old school gaming is a little overated, I really don't get it when people download something they already own in some form either. But the VC's sales have been immense its certainly here to stay.tomarlyn
