The Virtual Console and the fact that some people are paying for things that have been available on the internet for at least ten years for free has nothing to do with the Wii? One of the Wii's biggest selling points to hardcore gamers is the Virtual Console but their are better ways to play many of those games. If you're a fan of oldschool Nintendo games and they are the type of hardcore games that you want to play it could be that even the FC Twin is a much better way to go.  At least there you are spending your money on collectables rather than little digital tags.

Stealing games has never been a valid alternative to paying Nintendo's reasonable prices. It's just that now there's an alternative which, unlike the FC Twin, is actually practical for most gamers.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
