it would have been more believable if you didn't list all 642 games.... but very good effort none the less.

I will admit though, it would be great if they did re-release some of the games that are harder to find. For example, FE9 is ~$45 on e-bay/amazon.

Precisely. I want people to get the point that Nintendo has had PR silence about BC and yet have the best by far of any "next-generation" console. Buy GC games. Play them on your Wii.

They've been quiet because the Gamecube games are coming to the VC at some point. Iwata just hinted at this in his talk with gamespot. Basically he threw an idea out about games hitting store shelves first and when they are no longer selling in stores they will come out as a download option. That way an old game will always be available for purchase.

As for the Gamecube games, they are waiting for the last of the stock in stores to be sold off before launching the Gamecube as a VC option.

Yes the storage issue will come up but we'll know more about that in 2 weeks.

That's ridiculous...GC games are about 1.5 GB each...you would need something like an 80 GB harddrive for that option to be valid.

edit:   I see you mentioned the storage issue.

I still think it's not going to happen though...a harddrive would be great...but for some stupid reason Nintendo will have no part in it.
