| MontanaHatchet said: Yes, the Sonic games for the Saturn weren't particularly popular, but it's the only thing people buy on the Genesis. Anyways, I think you would see the occasional Virtua Fighter game sell well, and everything else is largely ignored. I thought the point of the VC was to play retro games you wished you had played, not to buy games you have probably already played 10 times over. |
the point is to buy games you want to buy...although i have mainly used it for your reason.
I have; super mario lost levels (because i'd never even played a NES game never mind this game particularly)
Sonic and Sonic 3 (because although i had a megadrive i never got a Sonic game though i did play the original two or three times in various houses....i wish however that i had got Sonic 2 instead of 3)
F-Zero (because i had F-zero X on N64 and wanted to see it's prequel...not impressed though, i have only played it twice)
F-Zero X (because i sold F-Zero X on N64 ages ago and wanted it back (i actually sold it for £7 and as the 2000 points cost me £15 i paid £7.50 for it)
Super Mario 64 (bought because i was watching the progress of SMG on this site and someone reccomended i get this for VC as i had never played a Mario platformer before, i did so and loved the game, spent 20-30 hours completing it)
Lylat Wars (64?) (bought because i had played it a long time ago on my friends N64 and really liked it, i have spent some time with it but got a bit confused trying to get to new levels (i kept following the same path)....not sure if it was worth 1000 points but i do like it)
So there we go, i only actually owned 1 game previously, though 2 more i had played before (sonic/lylatwars)...but the main reason i don't get games i already had is generally because i didn't own that many games on my Megadrive, and i still have my N64 with about half of the games i ever owned for it (the rest were awful and shouldnt even be coming to the VC)
In future i am planning to get Sin and Punishment because it looks pretty good, and if ever a proper, top down micro machines appears i will jump into purchase mode quicker than a quick brown fox jumping over the lazy dog. (assuming i have connect 24 acces which i don't here at uni)
