Nintendo: Drpping Virtual Console support because of Wiiware....

That's because the average Wii owner is more interested in buying some stupid mini golf game on WiiWare than a classic 8 or 16 bit title. There's only so many old-school gamers, and only popular, well known titles sell well (just as they did back in the day).

It also doesn't help that the Virtual Console has been flooded with yesteryear's shovelware... I think we already have the entire TG-16 library with the exception of some of the Turbo CD titles. There hasn't been a notable VC release since Majora's Mask, and before that I can't even remember the last big game. These days, the VC is known more for is glaring lack of major and quality titles from the 8, 16, and 64 bit eras... it's almost a joke when we do get an addition to the VC library!

Some people actually prefer a mini golf game rather than a classic 8 bit or 16 bit game. What's so bad about having an opinion?

VC flooded with yesteryear's shovelware? Do you even know what the term shovelware means? Last time I checked, shovelware applies to games in which the developers don't even care about the quality of the game & they just make that game to get some quick money. Not all bad games are shovelware.

Would you consider these games shovelware?:

Air Zonk & Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly Paradise

Samurai Shodown II

Fatal Fury 2

Genghis Khan II

Lords of Thunder

Fantasy Zone I & II

MUSHA Aleste

Pulseman

The Last Ninja

Nobunaga's Ambition

& much much more.

Lastly, do you mean the TG-16's library as in just the library of TG-16/PC Engine games that're originally released outside of Japan or do you mean both the TG-16's & the PC Engine's JPN only library?
