Lets be fair, you can find alot of junk on XBOX Live as well but the Wii is getting some serious crap at an almost alarming rate.
Who are these developers kidding putting this crap on the VC?
Legend of Kage, Dungeon Explorer, Bonanaza Bros., Urban Champion, Space Harrier, Vigilante, Moto Roader, Baseball, Altered Beast, Tennis, Victory Run, Soccer, Pinball, New Adventure Island, Soldier Blade, Streets of Rage, Xevious.
Thats just naming the obvious.
New Adventure Island, Legend of Kage, Streets of rage. Three classic and good games.Ollivander
Do you know what Legend of Kage is?
Perhaps the IGN review will refresh your rose colored glasses.

I personally remember owning that game and it was just awful. Perhaps you can argue that streets of rage was any good, but you can't possibly defend legend of kage.

Streets of Rage, New Island Adventure and Soldier Blade are classics. Have you ever even played them?ithilgore2006
Of course I did. Streets of Rage is one of those that you remember liking, then you play it and you realize that it really wasn't that good at all. Nostalgia is an evil thing.

This thread is about the developers who have the audacity to sell games like TENNIS, and BASEBALL.
I am fully aware of those games but thats not what this thread is about. You may notice I did not say "VC has no good games." I said third parties are putting some truly questionable content on the VC. Shouldn't Nintendo be doing some sort of quality control on that thing?

How about the other two? You only mentioned Streets of Rage.Streets of Rage, New Adventure Island and Soldier Blade are classics. Have you ever even played them?ithilgore2006
According to IGN they are all mediocre and haven't aged well at all.
Classics? Hardly. Just because they are old does not make them classics.

Look how gamespot rates all VC games. Terriby. I am having a blast playing these games, I'm sure some won't but that's them. Stop being an elitist and have fun

At least they release more than one game a month....I'm looking at your XBLA!!!!!FoxHoundADAM
Nintendo could put 1,000 titles on the VC tomorrow if they wanted to - all they're doing is acting as a ROM middleman. These are straight up ROMS they're putting up.
Live games have to be drastically altered for online play (among other things like 16:9, HD support, etc.) That takes a while.
1. Mischief Makers is awesome.
2. Their are some titles that really are just there to scam you into buying them. Legend of Kage is one of them. I think Nintendo should protect the consumer from buying this crap, thinking its classic old school, and then finding out they were just robbed of 500 points.
Growing up alot of us NES owners were dupped into buying alot of terrible games. There was no video game mags or gamespot.com there to warn us of our purchase. Nintendo turned a blind eye to these titltes and just let developers run free. Sure you had all those great Nintendo titles but eventually you want to try other games. Karate Kid, Back to the Future, TMNT, I mean just watch those Nintendo Nerd reviews and its not hard to notice that we as kids had to suffer through some terrible games because we simply didn't know any better.
Theirs no excuse for allowing games like Legend of Kage.

Well XBOX doesn't have 4 generations of games to fall back on.
At least they add online features, and sometimes they upgrade the graphics.

Doesn't change anything. Nintendo still releases a bunch a month, and XBLA gets 1 a month... regardless of upgrades and improvements.Well these online downloads are meant to be a side dish. Software is the main course and the 360 has plenty of great games to play while you wait for decent Live content.

There is absolutely nothing original on the VC. I suppose that's great for the younger generation of gamers who started about a decade ago but you have to understand how that fact alone makes it useless for people like me.
The difference is Microsoft doesn't have these games to release - they have to create most of the content and capabilities. This is not the case for the VC - once a system-specific emulator for the Wii is created the entire library of ROMS it covers (for example - Sega creates a Genny emulator that's Wii-capable) are ALL ready to be released. All of these ROMS have already been dumped (not dumped in the thread title's sense - dumped in the ROM dumping sense) ages and ages ago.

not tahts just being mean.
honestly, speaking as what GS boarders would call a sheep, its not that we dont like new games, its that many new games suck. I for one get more enjoyment out of playing popful mail on my sega cd or tetris on the nes than I do playing metroud prime 2 or GTA, or halo, or splinter cell, or whatever the hell game it may be.
and as far as "same old franchises"... devil may cry 4 final fantasy.. what now. 13??? metal gear solid. 4?
all games are the same. do this, get that, save her, kill him.
nothing is new, everything is recycled.... all that matters anymore is "is it fun?"
VC is slated to get original content, if I'm not mistaken.Jandurin
The day it does is the day I become interested in it.
I love Smash Live for the 360 - only because of the online Co-Op (the HD and 16:9 don't hurt either.) Would I love it if it were just a straight up Smash ROM? No, I wouldn't even download it (let alone pay for it.)
The day Nintendo makes these VC titles Co-Op online enabled is the day my Wii sees heavy VC use. That would be killer.

Well yeah Sony has its tried and true, but you can't deny its already got some new IPs and even Resistance was right out of the gate. The rate of new IPs on the PS brand with every gen is pretty impressive.
I've been gaming since I was old enough to beg my parents for an NES. I love old games, but as I grow older I do want new kinds of games with new experiences. Beyond the simplicity of what was capable in the 1980's.
[QUOTE="Buff-McBlumpkin"]100% agree. Online Tetris Attack, for instance, would be nice.The day Nintendo makes these VC titles Co-Op online enabled is the day my Wii sees heavy VC use. That would be killer.
Jandurin
You just blew my mind.
You have no idea how much time me and two of my buddies wasted (would hardly consider it a waste though) playing Tetris Attack many years ago. The battles were friggin' epic. We could practically move and link the symbols with our eyes closed. The sound of that crazy trumpet when you know you linked enough to drop a huge brick, it's burned into my memory. Every once and a while I still break out the SNES and that game for old time's sake when we're all around - it still kicks ass.
