Uhm...what? Free ROMs wouldn't be considered another price in the market, considering that it's an illegal way to play games. Furthermore, you think making the VC games free is the only fair price? That's pretty ignorant, considering the cost of upkeep that Nintendo pays to keep those games online, as well as being able to add new content. If you don't pay for the games, the service won't exist. Won't be a problem for you though, now would it? Honestly, emulation has inflated people's expectations to a disgusting degree. Yeah, I used to tinker with SNES9x in the past, but I would definitely pay to play those games again when they're actually being supported by Nintendo.
Anyway, to contribute, I love the idea of the Virtual Console, but I know I'll only be using it for the big titles on SNES, Genesis and maybe N64. The problem is that I can see myself taking 5000 Wii points and spending them very easily, so I'm trying not to use the service too much right now. Although, I did purchase Sonic the Hedgehog for the Genesis, and it has been emulated perfectly. I'm really impressed with the whole process of downloading these old games.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
