virtual console is all i need

so i was wondering......did anyone else get a wii mainly for the virtual console besides me? i dont really care about the disc games or the wiiware games. i just mainly have all VC games (around 107 i think WITHOUT hacking) and those are the only games i actually play. i'm a big oldschool gamer and i dont really like the motion controls anyway lol. so i was just wondering if there is anyone else out there got a wii just for the VC =)EvilEightBallz

Exclusives are the reason I get any console/handheld system but the idea of doing legally what the Xbox could be "changed" to do was a nice idea.

Edit: Honestly, though I actually have an NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, Dreamcast, PS2 (1 original - 1 slim), GameCube and Xbox to play any old games - there's something about playing the real game on the real system that makes it feel more special.

I do like the idea of the 4-in-1 retro adapter available for Wii that lets you plug in NES, Genesis, SNES and N64 conrollers in for VC games, though.

I have multiple retro consoles too, though mostly Nintendo :P

But anyway, one reason why I really wanted the Wiiwas because of VC and BC. Oh yes, I remember how hyped I was. And I love it really, when I get the Wii 2 (it has appearently been confirmed that Wii VC games (atleast) will be transferable to the Wii 2) I will be getting it for it's VC too, and ofcorse, its exclusives.

SMG1/2 and SSBB are the only Wii games that are worth playing if you have a Wii IMO, in addition to the classic VC games which unfortunately are locked to the console they were downloaded to (very silly).

It's a good thing the Wii was a gift rather than something I purchased myself, because it definitely doesn't seem worth the money for what it is. The PS3 was a much better investment.

Of course files can be copied but can they be played on anything besides the Wii they were downloaded for, assuming there isn't any extreme hacking/modification involved?

The "WTF" was just a remark on the sheer number of console games this guy has, let alone for just the Wii. I didn't realize the Wii had more than 10 disc games worth paying for. :P Just messing .... That's still a crapload of games for one console though, jeeze.

Nah, I'd rather buy the games for their original systems. It doesn't feel the same to me when it's emulated. I want to play the original system with the original controllers. It's a good way to have a collection without using a lot of physical storage space though.

I can relate. While I did not buy a wii just for the virtual console, I do find myself playing retro games a lot more. Most wii games pale in comparison to SNES and N64 classics. For the past week, I've been playing Ogre Battle 64 and it is far better than ANY JRPG to be released this gen or last, imo.

As I still own my older consoles, it was more of a bonus. Some games I could finally catch up on without eBay and some stuff for the first time available in my country. I wouldn't want to miss the service in the future.
