VC on Wii U is lame. The Wii had an amazing VC, it's hard to top that.

I buy all my classic games in real form instead of ROM form anyway so it's no sweat off my back. Imo, playing retro games on a modern console with a controller that wasn't even designed for them is always going to be a watered down experience.

how so? im struggling to see the sense in what you are saying. If you mean retro im assuming stuff like NES and then you were only working with a dpad and two buttons. Not sure how it would be watered down since modern controllers can accomedate that no problem at all. The only way it would be an issue IMHO when you get into N64 terriority  and above and even then modern controllers can and have covered those.

First off, ROMS are never 100%. So there's that. Secondly, playing SMB3 with a real NES controller feels completely different than using a classic controller with dual analog sticks. And third, the games look different on an HDTV.

Plus, there's the whole abstract sensory thing. Playing NES or SNES carts on a real machine on a CRT tv with a real controller is just, you can't get better than that. There's something about it that I can't put into practical words but to me, it makes all the difference. It's like, the real thing vs. a clone sorta deal.

Maybe it's because I actually grew up in the mid-late 80's and played all of these things as they launched on their original hardware. I don't know.
