Virtual Console or Real Console ?

I prefer real console. It has a better feel to it when I am playing the games.

Virtual console makes me want a Turbografx though.

You have all those consoles hooked up to one t.v.? That must take up a lot of space! And do you have to unplug and plug cables every time you want to play a different console?

That just sounds insanely inconvenient. I'd go VC.

Well, since I would have to track down an NES, SNES, and N64, I prefer Virtual Console.

But I wish they were all immediatally available, because I hate waiting.

I prefer real console. It has a better feel to it when I am playing the games.

Same for me :D I also get my original console games for cheaper than they are on VC with the exception of rare games.

Also its bad to have all those games on there and then one day you lose your wii or power surge and it erases everything.

I have never heard of Turbografx before VC so thats the only games im thinking about getting since i have all other systems and over 30 games for each.

both have their faults,. i actually like both ,ill start by explaining why its good or bad to use a console

good, your already familiar with consoles controller, you already own it , no need to dl anything good for collections

the bad part , hooking and unhooking of multiple consoles cartridges can wear out, (ive went through 10 copies of goldeneye 4 of pd 2 turoks , etc ) the cost of a cartridge can cost over what the vc costs for the same game ex, all n64s on vc so far have been 10 $ super mario 64 at a store would cost me no more then 20$ that is 10 $ more some times i can get a good deal but like i said some times its more expensive especally for titles like goldeneye or perfectdark and its also harder now to find anything if your not into auction sites like ebay

the virtual console

goods.. well never break . good prices sometimesbetter then retail , samegamejust different format , noneeds to unhook and hook up multiple consoles and good for those whocant find theold systemsespecally tg16those are rare as heck ,

the bads, the download times suck for n64 games ,unfamiliar with the controller at first, no valuemeaning you wont get no $ for selling the wiivc games hence the impossibility , and thats pretty much it ,

they both tome are great, id also like to add that some games have not been released like goldeneye

I'll always say real console for a few reasons.

1. I've got a TV that has oodles of inputs on it so I can hook up like over a half-dozen consoles on it and put them in a rack.

2. I'm a collector and I like having all the original boxes, manuals, discs, catridges etc.

3. I'm a bigtime SEGA fan and no Wii controller is well suited for SEGA games. The old school controller is modeled after the nintendo controller (for obvious reasons of course) and I'd just rather play on a 3 or 6 button Genesis controller.

4. Unless you're talking rare games, the hard copies of games are a lot of times cheaper than they are in the VC, at least in my area of classic gaming...I've not done much research on resell value of ninty stuff.

To answer your question about a source selector, I've got one by Psyclone model# PSC01. See what you think.
