I respectfully disagree.  Much of what's on XBLA are enhanced versions of games on the VC.  And much of what's on the VC is, for lack of a better word, vintage crap.  Some of these games that I enjoyed as a youth haven't aged well at all.  The VC caters to nostalgia buffs, but they really need to update some of their classics.  Most XBLA games are either totally original or are classic games that updated for a new gen.....and still throw in the older version, too.  The biggest thing that the VC has going for it is that its the only place for Nintendo classics. 

 

My opinion.

XBLA games have Achievements and Leaderboards.  A lot of them have various forms of online/multiplayer/co-op.  Many of the games are brand new, or old games in HD.  These games are not just ROMS.

VC = software emulation of old games.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

My opinion.


Why would anyone want an enhanced version of a classic game? You buy those games for nostalgia not for the graphics... VC just has a lot more games then XBLA. I guess it's just me, but I really don't understand why anyone would want enhanced graphics if they're playing a classic game from there youth.---> My opinion

And the fact that VC has nintendo classics makes it an insta win already tbh.--> That's just my opinion ofcourse.

 

With all that said, XBLA and VC are far superior then PSN.---> Fact

I guess if you want enhanced graphics on everything and ruin it in some(not all) cases(TMNT for example) then XBLA is going to be your favorite. If you don't want that, and I think a lot of people don't want that, then VC is going to be your favorite.---> Conclusion

 

That's my opinion on it. Two different opinions, but let's just respect that.

You don't even like Super Metroid, Samus Aran. 



Samus Aran on 11 July 2009

I don't like games that give me a head ache every time I turn them on. Hey, I've gotten half way through it already though! I'll force my way till the end. And I don't know if it's the GC controller, but the controls are very clumsy.

Yeah, I don't want graphical upgrades on classic games. It seems like they just ripped the soul out of TMNT.
