Really?  I like it alot.  I never had a SNES or a Genesis or a Turbo Graphix, so it's a great deal to me. So far I have R-type, LttP, Alien Crush, Ristar, Bonk's Adventure, Super Mario World, and Kirby's Adventure.

Yeah, but they are free unlike the VC.

But the controls suck.

Keyboard > Snes controls

Not for SNES games

Wow, I said the exact same thing. The amount of things you do similair to me are really creepy.

 Really? I guess i never noticed.  :?

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.

I'm sure the developers care also.  How are they sapposed to pay to make great games when people steal them and they make 0?

These games came out 20 years ago... Developers barely make money for these games nowadays. The goverment doesn't give a care if you watched that 3rd episode of Naruto illegally. They don't come down on you. They usually come down on distributors.

You do make a good point there. That's why I am not buying the Wii for VC. I was gonna buy it for VC alone.....until I saw PSPBlender. I can pay a lifetime fee of 37 bucks and get roms. It kind of works like most downloadable music sites are.....so now I am buying a PSP then PS3 b4 a Wii.

That is perhaps the lamest joke to have ever been made on System Wars.



I got a quote, didn't I? You got caught. Hooked. Just like a fish. You see, it's all a game, and you fell prey to it.

Go play a fishing game or something, because the only thing you can catch here are fanboys.



Yep, and the fatter they fly, the fatter they fry!

Remember, the key part of that is the "so-long-as-you-can-get-away-with-it"  It's how politicians get into power and not intellegent people who can actually run things.

TV show, music, game downloads are all illegal. The government DOES care. You dont see them sitting down letting people do whatever they want with pirated movies, downloaded musc etc do you?

[QUOTE="bionicle_lover"]what if old fans cant get some of their old systems to work? at least consistenly (my n64 freezes when banged :(The_Nemacyst
Then they probably would of bought a new one if OoT was really "THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD"

Or they would buy it on VC. Why hunt down an N64? And by the way it is often considered "The best game ever made." I'm sorry Halo isn't and that makes you upset.

They make money when people pay for them.  Like say for example on the Wii?  Plus the only games that are even close to 20 years old are the first NES games.

And even then an N64 would cost you around the same as the VC download, and you wont have to wirry about ruining a cartridge or N64.

I've played most of the games on the VC... but there are games that I didn't want or was unable to buy a long time ago... perhaps I'll buy them now... and not have to deal with hooking my old stuff up, or ebay.

Perhaps I'll find a game I've never heard of before, that sounds great.

It's not a bad service, but if you've played every game that has ever existed, or are unscrupulous. Clearly it's not for you.

You make assumptions that everyone has the games on the VC. This ignores several key points.

1. Not everyone played games back then/had that system back then/was alive back then.

2. People trade in games, and consoles. Often when its successer turns up. As such, they no longer have the game in question.

3. Consoles, and cartridges break. My Multi-Mega will play Mega Drive games, but not Mega CD games. My PlayStation died several years ago. i'm unlikely to be the only one in this position.

4. Quite simply, you might just have not bought that game. I never owned Donkey King Country. It's rare to see it in the shops, and if you do find it, it's expensive. But I now have it on the Virtual Console, for a fraction of the price.
