You're assuming way too much. The amount of people that don't even know what a ROM is, even among gamers outweigh those that do. There are plenty of people who play games and have the internet and are either highly computer illirate or just plain stupid. Also even people who do know about ROMs may choose not to use them simply because of the fact that they're illegal and not everyone is willing to download something illegaly just because it's free even if they know there is practically no way they will get caught.

Also I would assume with Virtual Console, X-Box Live Arcade, and Sony's thing coming around wer'e gonna see gaming companies cracking down on ROM sites alot. The only reliable ROM site I know of already has been forced to remove everything involving Mario or Final Fantasy among other things.

You're assuming everyone acts and thinks like you which based on every response you've gotten, clearly isn't the case.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Most of them are signed on but I've heard no plans of what they'll be giving us. I'd like them to go all out but will Capcom be releasing all their Megaman or Megaman X titles when they already have compilation games out there? Will we be getting all the Castlevania titles? Will Square-Enix hold back giving us Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana because they're assholes? I mean people want to download these games but it seems that for whatever reason companies want to play coy to the idea of giving us the good stuff and instead deal out their small titles that we don't really care about. That's the impression I'm getting. I'm waiting for good news but it's taking a while to get here.

That's about how I feel. That's why I'm waiting till at least I get my income tax returns next year before I buy a Wii. I'm mainly buying the Wii for VC since I no longer have a working NES or SNES and I never had a Genesis. Titles I'm really hoping for are Dragon Warrior 1-4, Breath of Fire 1-2, Super Mario RPG, and Secret of Mana.

Oh and incase anyone is thinking of saying "Hey some of those are available on Gameboy". I hate handhelds.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The flaw with that idea is that they're discontinued now. Nintendo can't really make sales on something you can't find brand new anymore.
