While the controllers for the PS2 are great for PS2 designed games, they suck for the classics. Can I tell you how happy I was when the Mega Man Collection came out and how disappointed I was in the control scheme on the PS2? The Wii's classic controller is so much better for those classic games.

Let me ask you this...the PS2 game is $20 dollars, but there is only a game or two I want off that. Is it still a better bargain than the VC? The answer is no. Yes, it has a bunch of games on it, but why would I pay for all of that when I only want to play one or two? Use some common sense: you fell for the classic marketing/advertising ploy - more for your money, even though you'll never use it all.

Three reasons:

1: Have been a gamer since video games were created and have always loved Nintendo's offerings - a little different and quirky.

2: Wiimote - the motion sensing capabilities of the system really set it in another league and provide a new gaming experience.

3: Virtual Console - getting the chance to play all those games when I was a kids is priceless. I mean come on, who wouldn't like to play Contra, Blaster Master, Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, Super Metroid, Life Force and all those games again.
