how would you rate the virtual console thus far (1-10)

Everything is really overpriced, even more so now they raised cost of Wii point cards. What more they really take the piss by charging extra for some games.

There are so many classics yet for some reason they take forever to release and in the mean time we are getting some games that were real stinkers when they originally released getting re-released on VC. The N64 section especially is missing out on so much.

Another thing I find highly annoying is some multiplat games from back in the day were superior on SNES yet on VC we are given the Mega Drive/Genesis versions. It makes no sense.


The only game I have bothered to buy on it is Zelda: ALTTP since it is the only Zelda game (besides LA) I cannot play on Wii (I have GC Collector's Edition for 1, 2, OoT and MM). I feel ripped off though, it is not worth £8.


Can compare VC prices for past gen games sold on PSN/XBLA to see just how badly Nintendo are overcharging. PS1 classics for example are on average £3.50, only a few are more than that. N64 (same era) games by comparison are almost 3 times that price.

Blah, I totally forgot about the pricing. NES games should be 400 points, SNES 600, and N64 800. Maybe some of the really popular games with larger budgets could be a little more expensive, sort of like with PSOne games on the PSN store, but a standard price with imports costing even more? Weak.

 

And yeah, another thing I don't like is I don't know if my VC games will work with a future console, but I'm quite sure that I'll be able to do that with the next Playstation or Xbox.
