VC titles might seem a little pricy but emulating these games is actually very expensive as there are no homebrew emulators that work well on Wii. |
With VC, I feel you really get what you pay for. Yeah, a lot of the titles (especially Genesis, NeoGeo and Arcade games) can be gotten significantly cheaper via multi-game collections, but the quality of emulation and options usually sucks in comparison. The recent SNK and Sega collections being good examples, they're dramatically cheaper per game but the emulation runs appreciably worse (even on more powerful consoles) with terrible things done to their IQ.
The only collections which really compare to their VC counterparts are Sega's Japan only Sega Ages line for PS2. And actually, emulation for both are handled by the same excellent company (M2).

It's true. I bought Megaman 9, my son loved it so instead of speading $5 each on VC for the classics, I found a GC Megaman collection and got MM 1-9 for $5 instead. No problem with emulation on that one.

MMAC isn't emulated, it's actually recoded (they use the PS1 versions of MM1-6 too btw). The IQ is bad pretty bad there too imo, smeary resolution upscaling versus the perfect chunky pixels and original low-res output on VC MM1-3, though that's admittedly more a preference thing. Play them side by side on a good LCD and you'll really see the difference.
MMAC GC also had some controller issues iirc, Atomic Planet (who did the ports) reversed jump and shoot on the pad which made replaying them really aggravating for me. I'd rather play with the Classic Controller myself though, which is why I sold it repurchased the VC versions of MM1-3 (hopefully 4-7 aren't far off). Again, you really get what you pay for.
Overall it's okay, but if you want MMAC, I'd actually suggest the PS2 version over the GC one.
