Virtual console seems to ease my collecting habbit a bit.

[TR0N]

I think that all in all, releasing old titles on virtual console will help those companies to want to make new games.

Yeah, horrible 3D sequels and remakes that tarnish the reputation of the original and disappoint old-school gamers.

Yeah castlevania any one 

I like the VC but i don't care for what they charge on it though.

As late of late i haven't down loaded much becuse of that.

About the only thing annoys me the most so far... is how slow there release are, not to mention no online co-op or even a score board.

While i think there service for it is convenient i think nintendo could do better.

2) $5 to $10 is not expensive, much less extremely, by any stretch of the imagination.

$10 for a f*cking near 20-year old game!?

Umm, no. $10 is for the N64 games, which are less than 10 years old. except for the crappiest n64 games, you couldn't get a cart cheaper.

That not f*cking expensive!? Oh wait, I forgot, you guys dropped $20 for less than stellar GBA emulations of actually 20-year old NES games.

Umm, who's "you guys" and when did I pay $20 for GBA games?

3) the controller is awesome, wether you're using the wiimote or the classic controller.

Whether you can use both of those or not, I still prefer my Saitek Rumble Force P2500.

PC controllers are always crap. Always.

VC games are pricey when compared to the various compilation discs.  20-30 games for $30 is pretty damn cheap, if you actually want all of the games.

I too am disappointed that Nintendo has made no improvements to any of the VC games, but just how quickly do you think new games should be released?  New games have been released weekly (less so for SNES and N64).  It would be pretty stupid of Nintendo to flood VC with hundreds of titles on day one.

[GUTS]

People wouldn't be so mad about having to pay $5-$10 for roms if the VC actually gave people all the options the free computer emulators do, but $5 for a rom that you could get for free on a PC and have tons of filters/cool shit to play around with is f*cking crazy.  Microsoft overcharges too, but at least on Live Arcade all the games have HD makeovers and some sort of online and achievments added for the $6-$10.

I don't see why Nintendo is so stuck in the stone age and refuses to support HD and online, it's insane.

Nintendo Classics Collection for GBA. Made almost more money than Pokémon, and it was about as much of a scam.

I'm green around my ears regarding emulation and found the roms on dreamcast disappointing.
On genesis the sound is harsh and snes noticeable slowdown.
Nes was more then ok.
Can't stand the hassle on PC (while seeing a mate of mine struggling on it's PC and getting his controller setup), it gives me a headache and it's just not the same on a PC while you can sit on your sofa on the big screen.
But i'm a busy bee and it happens that at the moment i'm looking out for xbox emulation.
Will get software installed by someone but i bet it will be sometime before i can relax and start playing the things i want to play.
Spending to much time finding and searching things out and less playing.
When does it gonna stop!

Just got mediacenter with emu's and also hugoX on my xbox but no roms for it.
Seems it is relatively easy to find back ups on hucards but not CD from my experience.
I'm searching for Beyond shadowgate in particular.
C'mon show me roms are better then the virtual console thing.
You can send a PM if you want.

Classic game for the TG16 for myself i down loaded, Legend Of the Mystical Ninja last week.

That's one game that became very underated for the SNES.

[Kitsunexus]

The sequel, Ganbarae Goemon 2 is better. It's all in Japanese, but it's way more fun than the first SNES outing.

So i've herd to bad konami can't do some big, Ganarae Goemon collection.

Still knowing, Konami they won't bother why do that.. when there's money to be made on Xbox live arcade and on the VC

Because of that f*cking idiot Hideo Kojima. I loved the first Metal Gear Solid, loved it to death. I loved it to beat it in all difficulties except extreme, 11 times, with both endings. I HAVE BEATEN METAL GEAR SOLID 99 TIMES.

But seriously Hideo, the new MGS sucks. Go make a Snatcher/Policenauts sequel.

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for the ol' Game Pube is FANTASTIC!  I think you can pick the game and system up used for $50.  Throw in a memory card for $10 and you have the greatest adaptations of a MGS game ever, debatably.  No Whiney Raiden, no motorcycle riding whore stealing your stuff.

What the hell are you talking about!? TWIN SNAKES IS A REMAKE OF THE FIRST MGS! RAIDEN IS IN THE SECOND!

Also, WHY WOULD I WANT THE SHIT REMAKE WHEN I HAVE THE FAR SUPERIOR ORIGINAL?

Dude, hand in your gamer's license. Seriously.

[offsidewing]

You can have my licence when you pry it from my cold dead hands...   

Perhaps I should have made my allusions a bit more concise. 

MGS = AWESOME. So is the T-shirt.
MGS2 = Raiden is whiney and needs a haircut.  Detracts from the otherwise wonderful game.
MGS3 = Motorcycle riding whore steals your stuff at the end of this epic instant classic.  I would have put a bullet in her head under the waterfall.  Man, the title song is catchy...

MGS:TS = Takes the gameplay aspects of MGS2/3 and perfectly marries them to Metal Gear Solid.  ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY Fantastic game.  No Whiney Raiden, no Chinese double agent Bogarting my stuff, just some awesome gameplay.  I'm not calling anybody one, but if Fanboy-ism is preventing you from playing this game because it's on the Gamepube, then you betta check yo' self because Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes is, in my opinion, a must play.  It no way replaces the original, but I believe it wonderfully captures the gameplay essence of the series.

There is little info about a secret game based off Snatcher for Wii being made by Suda 51 and Hideo Kojima called Project S. Hopefully when information finally starts digging up it will be good.
