Oh and his TMNT point, sure XBLA may upgrade games but doesn't VC just blow XBLA away as far as number and quality of games goes?

Interesting that you should say that. Many new 360 and PS3 games are bashed by Wii owners because some of them feel that they're basically offering the same old thing. They then praise Wii games for being different or adding something new to gaming (motion controls). Yet in this case it's the XBLA games that are offering something new compared to VC games which are literally the same old games and you're defending VC.

Oh and Grey Acumen you've gained a lot of respect from me because you've shown in this thread that you're consistent in your beliefs and are willing to give another console credit for something if it deserves it.

Thanks, though I will refute your point about the new games, as even though some might consider it expensive to pay $10 for a VC game, it's still not $60 for a shinier version of an old game.

I'm a strong supporter of the Wii, I believe it will succeed over the other consoles, and I WANT it to do that. However I'm also a strong believer in tough love, so if I see something I feel it could have done better, I point it out. I didn't originally know that LIVE had updated those games that way, but I did know that it was something I had wanted to see in these VC updates, and it's something that I am dissapointed not to see. If everyone keeps defending a dissapointing choice, then there will never be any hope for that choice to be revised.

I'm not saying update the gameplay or graphics, or even fix any bugs in the code, but as long as all the additions are optional (OPTIONAL motion control use, OPTIONAL online multiplayer) then there is NO possible way this can DETRACT from these titles. "Oh noes! The game now lets me play online with my friends if I want to. I can still totally play it the original way it was intended if I want, nor am I ever forced to play online, but if I ever get the urge to do so, it's there, so it somehow ruins the original feel of the game!!" BULLSHIT

What I'm hoping is that Nintendo will wise up and start working on putting up something like "Wii Mario Kart 64" Which would basically be all of $2 - $5, and can only be bought if you've already puchased Mario Kart 64 (if you haven't already bought it, it would prompt you to do so), and would contain additional code to support online multiplayer and allow you to use the Wiimote by itself as a steering wheel if you chose to.
