Sales Discussion - VC Sales - View Post

I generally love the VC. It was a major reason to buy the Wii.  Right now I have 6 VC games and will buy them in sets of three probably. The only systems I see myself buying for are NES/SNES, however, there is one item that I really don't like about the whole thing, Price. I have over 700 emulated NES games on my PC, I could go out and buy some usb Nintendo NES controller and play on my PC for free. However, I would rather play on my Wii where A) I am not breaking the law, B) I don't have to mess with a pc controller to make it work with my emulator and, C) I can play from the comfort of my couch wirelessly. Though, I do think they are charging too much. NES should be like $3 and SNES/Genesis/TG16 at $5 and N64 at $7 at most. Plus, to really pull this off Wii should of had more internal memory. If I can buy a 2GB SD card for like $40 then it probably only costs $20 to make, which means Nintendo could have easily put 2GB of flash memory in the Wii and still made a profit from the get-go. Then I wouldn't be worring about a future purchase of SD card or when/if there is going to be generic USB harddrives.
