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

Well, prepare to be disappointed.

Most VC titles suffer from a whole bunch of technical problems; if you've played the original games on their original console, the experience doesn't even come anywhere close.

Obviously, Nintendo is only able to charge ridiculous prices for this crap because there are people stupid enough to pay for it. "Retro gaming" is overrated.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

- Display errors when using component cables (due to non-supported 240p resolution)
- No Rumble Pak support for N64 games
- Pixelated bitmaps in N64 games
- No support for Controller Pak only games
- No controller configuration/remapping options
- Distorted image on 16:9 displays (needs manual switch to 4:3)
- No analog button support for GC controller
- Poor sound emulation for SNES games

These are just a few of the problems I've been encountering. I guess you can easily overlook these if you're not asking for a 100% true to original experience or have never played the originals, but for someone looking for "perfect emulation" these things are major disappointments.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The release of Sin & Punishment for VC outside Japan is really the first time this service gets put to good use. I'm not interested in crappy emulation of old games I've already played, but official releases of games that never made their way across the big pond are a nice move.

I'm officially excited for a VC release for the first time.
