Super Mario and Tetris are still ridiculously popular despite how "crappy" they are by current technology standards. That's over 20 years. How many of today's flashy games will still be played 20 years from now once they're replaced by the next generation of flashy games?
Flash games are crappy by todays technological standards I don't get your point ? Now if you was to compare a game like GTA 4 against Super Mario Bros 20 years from now I'd say GTA 4 would kick it's ass hands down.

 

Thats why Virtual Console is such a failure.../sarcasm

I just gave my little brother the game Day of the Tentacle and he literally ate it up... why ??? Because that game has style, is timeless and has a great humor...and I tought my brother to respect whats good not whats new and shiny... I also played Starcraft against him and he loves it... gave him Fable two weeks ago and he just finished it... for the third time (ok that game is a little short) point is these games are timeless and fun, no graphical advancement will ever change that...

 

Any company that derived all it's Income from virtual console would eithe A.Go Bust B.Not Remain Profitable for very long C.Remain profitable and not make a considerable amount of money , VC is one of the many places Nintendo generates revenue from. Try comparing the sales of VC to XBOX Live or PSN I'll leave VG Chartz forever if VC makes more.

 As for your little brother enjoying tetris , most proly if your in a car with nothing else to do . But if he's in your house with a PS3 / XBOX 360 / Wii beside him then I'd be concerned.
