No he was right the first time. The Virtual Console doesn't offer anything new that can't be found in the game's original cartridge so it only benefits those that don't own the original. You'll get nothing of any value with the VC...


Actually, the N64 games are upscaled to 480p due to the way the emulator works, so they actually look better than normal N64 carts. In addition, if you use component-out, every emulated game has less of the blur predominant in the composite and RF connections of yore, sharper colors, and better contrast.

And besides that, having a little white rectangle sitting on your shelf is far more convenient, far less obtrusive and cumbersome, and probably much cheaper than having an NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, Master System, and Turbo Duo (and C64 for you blokes in Europe), and having to switch between them.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
