[Wii] Virtual Console & WiiWare Games - Doing wonders for illegal emulation since 2007

I would actually spend some points on these games if they had some kind of online playable mechanism where you could play Mario Kart 64 with others. I've had 1000 points literally sitting in my account now since late November with absolutely nothing spent yet.

They really haven't given me a reason to betray emulated versions of these games yet. Especially considering most of the enjoyable Mario Kart 64 tracks are just on Mario Kart DS anyway.

Most amazing jew boots

I didn't exactly mean to start a shitstorm of emulator versus virtual console, but the games they've released thus far really don't push me toward a purchase. It isn't that it's not for me or anything like that, but let's compare some releases.

Mario Kart 64 : Many tracks already found on Mario Kart DS, also still horribly easy to whip out the old N64 since most people's aren't dead yet and play that plus other N64 games that the VC doesn't have yet. Good if you don't own a DS or an N64, but most people who stood behind Nintendo this round probably have one or the other.

Super Mario 64 : Redone on the DS, literally no point to even bother with this unless you never played it. If you haven't, and you own a Wii, you need to be shot.

Link to the Past : The favorite game of the other camp filled with those that prefer it over Ocarina of Time. However, you can put down $11 more and get Four Swords Adventure for GC with the multiplayer mini-games and quests or the GBA version.

Street Fighter II : Why? Why not Super Street Fighter II New Challengers?

Now, here's an example of a game that NEEDS to be released.

Super Metroid : There is no other way to play this at ALL at the present other than emulation, and playing it in HDTV + Component glory with surround sound systems would be GODLY. I would easily throw down 800 points for this.

I'm sure there are others, but I grow tired of seeing games released that can be played like 50 different non-emulated ways or have no business being released in the first place. Yes, let's purchase NES Baseball in place of Wii Sports Baseball. Ice Hockey makes more sense than this.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
