My sister refuses to play games in 3-D, so she lapsed after the SNES. She still has a NES and regularly plays Golf and Mega Man 2. When I told her that Wii Sports Golf was the first 9 holes of NES Golf re-done in 3-D and that you actually swing instead of using a joystick, she flipped out and started bringing all her friends over to play Golf all the time. Now I've gotten her to play her first couple post-SNES games, and she really loves Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, and Karaoke Revolution Party.
And the VC is not a ripoff. You can buy 6 N64 games, or 12 NES games, or any combo in between, for the price of a single new HD game. The classics have passed the test of time and it is easier to find good reviews for them or ask people who have played them, while the new games are getting meaningless 10/10s and GOTY!s thrown around like crazy and could easily be a Lair or a Haze.
It's very rare that a new game is worth more than 10 old ones.
