VC for the Wii is terrible, unoriginal, and boring.

All it does is rehash old games, so people that are fans of the game don't really need to buy it. There is NOTHING NEW.

Unlike XBLA, where old games such as Streetfighter-MK3-Ninja Turtles, are presented in 720p, have online support etc.

I mean OoT is a good game and all but comon. If I was a real fan of the game, (which I am not) I would have kept a N64, and played OoT on that already. Why buy it for 10 dollars on VC, when I already have it?

Sheep are always saying that OoT is the best game ever, and if that was true. You would think they would have the OoT Cartridge and the N64 to play it huh?

I too would like some original content on the VC. We shall see.

*Edit* I see you have changed the title of your thread from VC is Terrible to the less direct VC- Ripoff of everything good.

I went to my friends house to give him advice on what he should buy on VC... The only thing I saw were old games. So the only thing I could do was to tell him to get OoT because it was the highest scoring game there. The sad part was I couldn't tell him to get the games that would fit his needs (hes a casual)

Why didn't you just keep the old stuff then? I mean, 20 games... If they were dollars each, they would be 100 dollars.

The VC is overpriced for offering no new upgrades for old games.  They're just straight ports.  Nintendo must be reaping a hell of a profit and laughing.

Ocarina of Time got an 8.9 Super Mario World and Link to the past received 8.5 each Super Mario Bros. garnered an 8.3 Gunstar Heroes earned 8.1 Would I pay 6 bucks for NES Tennis? No, but that doesn't mean there aren't some great games on the Virtual Console. And sad as it is, many of the people who own a Wii have never played the above games. I for one got Gunstar Heroes, and wouldn't have been able to play it any other way, and it cost me 10 buccks (Canadian). To me, that's worth it.

Well yeah, but my argument is that many gamers have already experienced this... So why buy it on VC? But if you are entirely new to it, then it is original (kinda.) It's like never playing Mortal Kombat, and playing it on the XBLA. You will probably like it.

So the entire premise of your arguement is that Nintendo and Co. should not be allowed to profit again on titles they've produced in the past?  That if they were free the VC wouldn't be a ripoff?

Really, there should only be one system.  That's what people seem to want.  They always make comparisons and if one system doesn't have the same thing the others do, it's not good enough.

What was the intent of VC?  Ask yourself that.

i hate and like the idea of vc. i like it because if you cant find a game you get to play it there. i hate it because 1.whats the point of collecting?their making my old games lose value 2. you can buy the cartridge for 90% of does games for the amount they sell it 3.pc emulators lol most of you who post in these forums off their pc can probably play emualtors at full speed. make that all of you. unless you have a pc that cant even run win95.

I rather get the VC version for $10, instead of finding a N64 and the game which are rare and it may cost more than $50.

I would like to add that really only people who are 20 years old and older are really the only people who experienced the Nintendo vs Sega era of gaming.  So in terms of demographics a lot of people haven't experienced the games on VC.

This isn't to mention that no one has ever played every video game produced (I seriously hope not anyways), and that with the VC people have a legitimate venue to which to play these games.

Does it matter? The fact that VC still has the same old stuff from 20 years ago, sucks. Might be good for casuals, but not good for us Gamespot people (who probably have played OoT, Metroid and stuff before)

Well OOT isn't the only games on VC, there are many classics that were released way before many of the posters here were even born. Having the option to by them is something I rather have than average new/arcade games on XBLA.

So XBLA is better? Downloading old Atari games and garbage that were crap 20 years ago whereas we can download great classic titles that are still amazing from the NES/SNES and N64 eras as well as other consoles.

Videos are youtube are kind of illegal, pirated and all.. But who really cares?

So just because youtube has illegal videos its okay to download emulators? :? And the government cares.
