Wii Viruall Console Games Now

Well since the Wii Storage problem has been fixed there has been tons of great downloadable games to get like Ocarina Of Time and Super Mario 64 what do you think about the wii now?

I think that if people think that the Wii is awesome now only because it's pulling a SE and porting a bunch of good old games to it, I will call those people c-c-c-crazy!

Oh it is great, but I wouldn't claim that the Wii is awesome again just because of that.

Why would I want to pay for something I can get for free?crazy-player

Because maybe you'd rather not steal something and instead pay the 5-10 bucks?

Nintendo charges way too much for VC games, especially the NES ones.

Well, I'm glad they fixed the storage problem, but it hasn't changed my overall oppinion that much...

I love virtual console.

Not really. If you're looking for original carts, probably.

The fact that -most- of the games worth buying can be picked up in collections, compilations and the like, for far cheaper than what you pay on VC is proof enough to me it's over-priced.

The fact that they're all old gen, and practically -free- to reproduce makes it a little annoying to me, to have to pay the equivalent of £15 for one N64 game. I mean, PS1 games which are the same gen as N64 games, go for a maximum of £3.50 on PSN.

Also, point systems suck.

Really? Maybe I haven't looked quite so well, but as far as the EU VC goes, it's not the case. There's a lot of games on there you can't get, probably, but these are also the same games that weren't worth buying then, let alone now.

But most of the good ones? They' seem to have been re-released in some form or another, and, usually, are relatively easy to get a hold of.

Oh, and this isn't a Wii bash. I own one, even if I am disappointed with it.

[QUOTE="jonnyt61"]

[QUOTE="IronBass"] The other way around. Most of those games are impossible to get if not in their original carts form.IronBass

Yay :) Someone who doesn't just assume the worst!

I think this is unfair though, as since I'm in the UK, we've always been lynched on the VC prices.

Well, as it stands, it's roughly £12 for a N64 title, which is about $18, I think. For the GBA games, I can generally pick the original carts Used for around £2~5 depending on the game.

But the worst part, is the Zelda games. They're quite expensive to buy separately on the VC, whereas for roughly £15~20 I can buy a brand new "Zelda Collection" for the GC which has...

Legend of Zelda
Zelda - The Adventure of Link
Ocarina of Time
Majoras Mask

I already own that, but I actually wanted to buy the games on VC, so I could avoid using the disc again. Sadly, then ended up being way too costly for me.

I did get Link to the Past, but I did that with "Star Points" so it was "free" even it did use pretty much 4 years worth of star points to afford [Damn you, crappy point exchange rate] I even own the original cart to that too though, so it was more of a convenience buy.

It's mostly down to the point system anyway. If they instead used a Wallet system, it'd probably end up being cheaper overall. I do like the VC's catalogue, I just see it as -quite- overpriced, not vastly, as I first put it hehe :P

hasnt changed my mind, seriously I'd rather have no games like Braid and Flower .Sonic_on_crack

Because Wiiware games doens't exist, Right? :roll:

Do any Nintendo games even have DLC ?Sonic_on_crack

VC is the best feature introduced this gen. There are still a few games that I really want that arent on there yet.

The Wii is the best console ever because on it you get to play a lot of non Wii games.

I don't said you're bashing it, no worries :P But let's take a look at the important ones: Mario 1, 2, 3, World, Zelda ALttP, Yoshi's Island. Those, indeed, have GBA remakes. But it is pretty difficult to get one of those for less $10. Now come N64 games. That's more difficult because they are rare. For example Paper Mario, Zelda OoT or MM. I don't think you'll get them for such a low price. Next come the impossible ones: Super Metroid or Mario RPG, for example. Never remade, never re-released. And getting an original cartridge can cost up $400. IronBass

That's because they don't manufacture the games in their original format anymore and they are rare :|

Very good.

You helped my point - though with fairly obvious facts - but thanks.

jonnyt61

Yeah especially when you realize that these some of these games are over 20 years old. If the pricing system went from NES games at 1 dollar to N64 being the most expensive at 5 dollars I would definitely purchase more games. But paying 5 bucks for Donkey Kong or Mario Brothers, seriously? It's a total rip off.

So if we are basically playing "roms" why are they the same price as the rare carts? Fail more please.

True, but it probably costs next to nothing to port those games to the VC. But hey, Nintendo is doing the smart thing anyway since people are buying the games. If their prices were a bit lower it could stop some people from downloading illegally though.

but imo it's unethical to charge that much considering the cost..RawDeal_basic
