| LemonSlice said: VC on WiiU. We've got NES, SNES and GBA games. Some very very good ones (Earthbound yay!), but not very strong overall in terms of numbers and variety of systems. Yet it could be so much more. N64 games, where are they? Gamecube games. Even Wii games would be nice to have, those better Wii titles are getting hard to find in stores. DS games, Brain Age was a test but a few months on there's nothing further. And that's just Nintendo systems, what about others? VC on the Wii was a lot better, strong from the get go, and it included a lot more systems. Does Nintendo think Virtual Console titles are taking away from indie games on the eshop? Is that even the case? The idea of a legal emulator was groundbreaking. On the WiiU, with it's playing games on the gamepad it's even better. So why isn't Nintendo taking the Virtual Console further but instead is taking it backwards? Thank you for reading this, I now want to hear your voice. :) |
I complained for years through blogs on 1up that Wii virtual console was being far too undersupported. At first they were releasing about 3 new games a week. That was acceptable. Then I watched in disgust as it went down to like one title a month. I wholeheartedly agree with your post and am glad to see someone else seeing the wasted potential. Whenever I see Nintendo announce a new virtual console game system to release games for, I just think "Well it will get about ten games, and then they will abandon it." So sad. :(
