If PS3 keeps getting older software with this quality, charge only $5 and have online as well, then Wii Virtual Console will become a joke.  So, MK2 for PS3 is cheaper than the horrible TMNT game ($6) for Wii.  Hmmm...would I rather spend $5 for MK2 or Excitebike?  Gee, I wonder what the better deal is....

Being that the Wii is set to out sell the PS3 10-1 it looks like this is going to be an inside joke.

Haha.  Well then.  No, not online, and not less than five dollars.  That doesn't necessarily make them worth... less.

Until the PS3 gets a few more games like this MK2, I'd say it's too early for him to say the VC is a joke.

...So?

The prices on VC games don't bother me. $5 for a great NES game is a deal.
$5 for Super Mario Bros? I don't own a copy. Sign me up!
$8 for Gunstar Heroes, LttP, and Contra 3? $10 for Starfox 64 and Ocarina of Time? Good in my book.

 WTH are you talking about, just buy Midway Arcade Treasures 2 for the PS2 and you get MK 2 and 19 other games. It's funny how you cows talk about everyone else getting milked when you brag about paying $5 for games you can get elsewhere at a better vakue...

I don't want online with the classic games. I don't want the classics to be changed at all. I guess that's just me though. Rock on. I'll just thoroughly enjoy this "joke" once I buy a Wii.

  • Legend of Zelda, LoZ:LttP, LoZ;OoT
  • Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64
  • Donkey Kong Country
  • Star Fox

yes those are great games but I still have my SNES and NES......THAT STILL WORK...lol......for these games

 now I also can go look for MK2 for my SNES..........but would I be able to play online with it......na....

 My friends and I used to always play this game at the arcades, but some of them have moved...........so for us to be able to play MK2 against each oher (because of Online) would bring back so much fun memories......

 sh1t I wish the PS3 would be able to have Killer Instinct online, but thats not going to happen.......

I don't think those are good prices. Last year I bought 4 N64 games for 20 euros. I'm really surprised at all that people that says it's hard to find some games. But really, you live in the U.S., you can find everything there and not at high ebay prices.

I think they don't even try.

In my opinion the Live Arcade is doing the better job since it's releasing games that were  actually never available for home playing before such as Arcade games.

 Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a Playstation Portable game in the popular Castlevania series of games by Konami. The game is essentially a remake of Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo with 3D graphics, but it still retains the 2D gameplay mechanics. The game will also include the original Akumajou Dracula X: Chi no Rondo as well as a PlayStation port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[1].

In comparison with what you are getting the Wii VC is definitely overpriced. The problem is that the games are selling good at the current price point so why change?

I like XBLA for puzzle games. I got Astropop and Zuma which apparently I could have gotten on my PC but I prefer to play them on 360 with custom soundtracks. I'm hoping Sega will release Baku-Baku for the XBLA. If they don't I will probably go into a state of psychotic remorse. I got Lumines but it gets boring pretty quick and they charge too much for it. I don't really care to play old Nintendo games that I beat years ago. I think its awesome they put an old school Worms on XBLA. That's always a hoot multiplayer and you don't need to worry about lag.

Why not get Baku Baku for the Saturn? I'm almost sure it's not expensive.

Wii gets 2-3 new games a week, I dont know how often PS3 gets new games, but ill guess that its not as often as wii. Plus the Wii VC vs. the PS3 store (downloadable games) have gotten a lot better reviews overall. OoT owns anything out on the PS3 store so far.

Ah the joy of online gaming. It is great, as long as you are not playing against thousands of children that over-use the cheapest moves that constantly talk **** with out end.

Online play, the constant reminder of why I hate people.
