I know I brought it up, but its honestly probably better to leave VC talk until after Ninty's March report... We just have a single point of data (1.5 million games sold through the end of December), and a bunch of speculation. In terms of the overall catalog at this point (62 games in NA, including SMB, SMW, SM64, DKC, LoZ, aLttP, OoT, MK64, Sonic1 and Street Fighter 2), I don't think you can say Nintendo has failed to execute... In terms of publicizing the VC... I don't know how much they really have to... They'll just let the VC grow into a huge selling point, and I think that's beginning already...
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
