Good line-up

But now compare it to whats available on the VC... its no contest VC > XBLA

I respectfully disagree. Much of what's on XBLA are enhanced versions of games on the VC. And much of what's on the VC is, for lack of a better word, vintage crap. Some of these games that I enjoyed as a youth haven't aged well at all. The VC caters to nostalgia buffs, but they really need to update some of their classics. Most XBLA games are either totally original or are classic games that updated for a new gen.....and still throw in the older version, too. The biggest thing that the VC has going for it is that its the only place for Nintendo classics.

 

My opinion.


Why would anyone want an enhanced version of a classic game? You buy those games for nostalgia not for the graphics... VC just has a lot more games then XBLA. I guess it's just me, but I really don't understand why anyone would want enhanced graphics if they're playing a classic game from there youth.---> My opinion

And the fact that VC has nintendo classics makes it an insta win already tbh.--> That's just my opinion ofcourse.

 

With all that said, XBLA and VC are far superior then PSN.---> Fact

I guess if you want enhanced graphics on everything and ruin it in some(not all) cases(TMNT for example) then XBLA is going to be your favorite. If you don't want that, and I think a lot of people don't want that, then VC is going to be your favorite.---> Conclusion

 

That's my opinion on it. Two different opinions, but let's just respect that.

 

It doesn't make sense to me to put VC in the same category as XBLA and PSN, since both those services bring something new to the table while VC is basically just ROM dumps.  A more valid comparison would be to compare WiiWare to them since it's their equivalent.

As for being a purist you must really hate games like Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil 1 Remake, and Chrono Trigger DS.  I mean the Wii's motion controls must have fundamentally changed that game's difficulty from what it was on the PS2 and GameCube.  As for Resident Evil 1 Remake it is basically doing the same thing that these other "enhanced" games are.
