I have a Wii and a 360. The Virtual Console has not convinced me to buy one single game yet. The main reason? No demo to try out. Plus the fact that not one of the games has been brought into the 21st century.

Meanwhile, I must own close to 15-20 XBLA games and actually want to buy more. If you want to send me a Christmas gift - get me a MS Points card from Best Buy, please.

I have no clue how overall Wii's VC #'s are compared to MS's XBLA numbers. Someone's gotta know.

There is a good reason most of the high ranking Wii games are VC titles - they are awesome games.

Check out one of the threads on this board - goes over the top 6 or 7 titles. You can't lose getting any of them.

If you haven't played them - you owe yourself to at least *try* one of them. Ocarina, Mario 64, Sin & Punishment, Castlevania IV, Zelda 1, Waverace, Paper Mario, etc...

If the gfx are holding you back, then just wait for WiiWare titles.

...

I'd like someone to name any of the XBLA titles that are better games than the top tier of VC titles. Is there anything that competes with Ocarina or Paper Mario for instance?

 


Graphics aren't what's holding me back.

As for your "I'd like someone to name any of the XBLA titles that are better" bit, that's all subjective.  All I'll say, which I've already said: I've bought 0 VC titles and I've bought 15 XBLA titles, if not more.

I played Super Mario a bunch when it came out. It just does NOT appeal to me anymore. Even if they brought it to XBLA somehow, with updated graphics, I couldn't care less.
