The list of excellent games on Nintendo's Virtual Console is growing. But is it growing too fast?

Please.

Nintendo's tank is so deep..

There are so many classics that some I can't even recall.

I wouldn't worry.. though every odd week there should be a highlight of Sega/TG16 games rather than Nintendo games.  That would offset Nintendo throwing out so many classics.

no, cause there are TONS of titles that are good but aren't well known too. I do see what you are getting at but the list of games ppl want is very large and increasing so I don't see a drought.

I just don't like how GS and IGN put the VC reviews in with the Wii reviews.
It's clogging up the review page. 
They should be reviewed on seperate pages.
Other than that, they can pump them out as fast as they want.

When they have a week with crap, people complain that there's nothing good. When they have a week with a classic, they say they're going through them too quickly.

Not at all.  VC games are being released at a good rate.  It'll surpass XBLA and GameTap in no time.

Agreed, if anything they're ALMOST going slow...not yet but almost. + I agree that the barrel they're scooping these delicious old-skool treats from is soo deep that they won't hit the bottom for years!

Also if they ever did they could just start adding GBA games! they only use the D-Pad, Shoulder Buttons, & A-B!!!

Hardly. Aside from the fact that they still haven't released games like Earthbound, Super Metroid, and tons of others, they have the opportunity to release games that never left Japan, like Fire Emblem 1-5 (those were on the NES and SNES), Sin and Punishment, Earthbound Zero, and 3rd party games like Tales of Phantasia, Bahamut Lagoon, Seiken Densetsu 3, Dragon Warrior V and VI, and the list goes on. Not to mention 3rd party games that DID come out here, like, say Castlevania II, Castlevania III, and Castlevania: Bloodlines. :(

I'm hoping that they'll ramp up the quick-and-easy releases so they can put some time and effort into translating the lost gems (stupid forbidden bug ate the rest of my post).

Plus you have to remember there is always the possibility of adding the Game Boy titles to the VC if they ever need to.

Exactly, what's the difference if you get it now or in a year? Well you have the option of buying it if you want to, if you don't want to, you don't have to.

In a way, they are releasing games too fast. But if they do realise this then they are more likely to slow down the rate of games they release. And besides, there are still a lot of games to release!

There are so many different developers and some really awesome games coming...

I think they're going at the perfect pace with actually releasing games.

The only problem I can see is that they are doing weird weeks with nothing really good, then giving you one day with Kid Icarus AND Kirby. How about spacing them out by a week?

Now it's too fast. Before it wasn't fast enough. But yes, I think they released some key titles earlier than I expected, but there are still tons more. So it's not too bad.

They are releasing them in a decent rate, although I would love to see a lot more of them, but hey, I am only human...

     Nintendo is responsible for actually releasing content onto their online store.  Even if they used up every single quality hit, there are companies like Konami, Hudson, Square-Enix, and Namco to pick up the slack.  And thats just for the NES.  With a combined game library of over 3000 games and a greatest hits of about 600, I rather doubt the Wii is going to run out of source material anytime this decade.

Give it time young padawon, the revolution grows strong but I fear that doubt spreads across the land due to word of famine.  Let this notion pass until you come to a place that is truly barren and devoid of all hope.  The food for the revolution comes, and it shall be served to the friends of our enemies in order to establish new bonds with those too weak or young to fight.  Because they come only wanting to play, and play we shall!  For Wii are the revolution, and the future is our own destiny to create.  So say thee come into our homes or leave us alone, for we take no side but what our own heart tells us is right.  For our sakes, we just hope we're right.

With downloadable games from 5 consoles, there must be hundreds of must-buy titles to choose from. There's at least a good 50 or so for the NES alone.
