The Wii's Virtual Console service, in my opinion, is great. Some classics are already available for download and playing some great retro games on the Wii is sweet. However, there are some things that annoy me about the service which I am pretty disappointed about. First of all, playing VC games on a HD television with component cables. When I first played a Virtual Console game with the compnent cables, the screen turned very strange. I tryed out other games with the component cables and found that it was the NES, SNES and Mega Drive games that turned weird while the Turbografx and N64 games worked just fine. I phoned up Nintendo and asked about the problem. They explained to me that some VC games don't run properly with component cables and are trying to get the matter fixed. So,I had to unplug the component cables and put in the normal cables whenever I wanted to play VC games. Then I realised that some new games had "component cable interlace mode" in the description of the game. I tried out The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (the first game I downloaded with the "interlace mode" in its description) to see if it would run fine on my TV. It didn't and I was very annoyed. I checked the FAQ on the Wii Shop Channel to see if there was any explanation to what this "interlace mode" actually was but I found no help at all. I found out what it was on Wikipedia. It turns out to turn on interlace mode you have to go on the operations guide of one of the VC games, plug in the nunchuck and then press Z and the 1 button at the same time. I checked to see if it had worked and it did. Now, while I was happy that the game was running properly, how the hell was I supposed to know that I had to do that to make interlace mode work? Nintendo didn't explain it at all. So, Nintendo updated some games that were already released to support interlace mode but some all time classic Nintendo games still weren't updated, including the legendary Super Mario World. I thought to myself "Well, it will probably updated within the next few days". It has been one month and a half and STILL there has been no update to Super Mario World and to other classic games. Do I really need to keep on unplugging these cables all the time to play one of the greatest games ever made? This issue shouldn't even exist with this whole "interlace mode". Nintendo should have checked something like this before the Wii even came out. Also, whats with the lack of N64 games? The Wii has been out for half a year and only five N64 games have been released. F-Zero X was released yesterday and was the first N64 game to be released in over two months. Come on Nintendo! The Virtual Console is meant to be a place where people can relive classic games. So, why are companies deciding to release pure rubbish onto the Virtual Console? No one is going to buy it and it is wasting Nintendo's time. Instead of putting great games like Super Metroid on the VC, they have to waste their time putting on crappy games that no one cares about and no one will buy. I think that I've covered all of my niggles about the Virtual Console. Apart from these things, the service is top notch but these downsides are holding the VC down
