I like Virtual Console

By jerec · September 12, 2008

These are the games I have on it now

Donkey Kong Country 2 (I own this on SNES but it won't hold my save games for long anymore)

Phantasy Star II (I heard this was good)

Super Mario RPG (was never released here, so it's nice to finally be able to play it properly. I got further on this in a day than I ever did on the rom. Roms suck.)

Ys Book I & II (Now I finally know what you Turbo freaks are going on about. It is very fast paced fun and it has awesome music.)

Why do people complain so much about the Virtual Console? Sure there are a lot of uninteresting games there, but no one's forcing you to buy them. I've had the Wii for a month and a half and I've picked up four gems, and there's still a bunch more I'll buy when I can spare the cash.

I think a lot of what people are complaining about is the fact that you're basically paying for ROMs.

I have all those on my "virtual console" too.

ROMs are by definition the game files. So people are complaining that you're basically paying for ROMs. What that works out to is that people are complaining that you're basically paying for games (as you should) instead of getting them free. So really... people are idiots.

It isn't paying. It's the amount you have to pay.

i haven't touched my wii since May until a few days ago..when i started playing virtual console games. what a coincidence!

most of the games i've downloaded i just play it for a bit and then i completely forget about them. i probably have somewhere over a dozen games, half which i beaten. i guess i need to do some catchign up on the rest. so far i've finished up Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 2. Y's 1 & 2 was another reason i started playing my wii again and i downloaded my first wiiware game, Lost Winds.
