I didn't say it was! I didn't bring up VC as a knock on Nintendo, someone up top said something about being able to enjoy games from a wide scale of platforms on the Wii as a selling point to which i pointed out you have been able to do that on any PC (Mac, Windows, Linux) for years. As to the PS3 or Xbox versions I feel the same way. I DO pay for games from Sony's download service, but only new original games (pixeljunk monsters, Flow, Super Stardust ect.) because I want them to make more of those games, and I know buying them actually matters. I also have bought a handful of PS1 games because I can play them on my PSP (if they added, say, DS on the go functionality that might makt it worth paying) and because they aren't nearly as old as the NES ROMs. I just downloaded castlevania (paid for it) but that was only a 9 year old game from a semi curent system. I don't think that Wiiware is stupid, thats a great idea. It has worked well on the PS3 having small scale original content and it will probably work well on the Wii too. I do not say that spending money on all software or even all old software is stupid, just stuff that is so old that it is obsolete 10 times over. This idea that we should pay for everything often multiple times because of IP law is just silly. It's not my fault my NES stopped working in 1992. |
Are you sure? Mine still works. Also Nintendo still serviced then till like 2003.
