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

Everyone says Alien Soldier is the greatest game evar, so what am I missing? I tried it once, and the horrid controls put me off it forever. I spent most of the time stumbling around getting shot a lot as I fumbled with the control scheme and trying to switch between weapons in an efficient manner.

I'd be more excited about C64 games if the pricing weren't so atrocious. A significant chunk of the C64's library is freeware, either explictly (such as the Alternate Reality games) or implicitly (company no longer exists), so it just seems wrong to pay more for old computer games than it does for NES titles.

I probably missed this by skipping ahead 32 pages, but are they also authentically recreating the C64's load times?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't get the furor anyway. I played the game; Seiken Densetsu 3 was not really that good. Twice the angst and none of the charm of Secret of Mana, and somehow the gameplay came off a lot stiffer as well. Secret of Evermore meanwhile continued to use the superior SoM engine, except with most of the bugs weeded out.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I can understand if all the third party companies are being bitches about licensing games for the VC, but surely Nintendo could do better than this. Sales can't be so low as to justify such sluggish releases. Nintendo only has to wait on themselves to give us, say, Earthbound.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's kind of telling that they don't even have the original Starfox up on Virtual Console. I strongly suspect it's because they can't be assed to properly code an FX chip emulator. Couldn't they just borrow the code from SNES9X?

I was speaking idiomatically.
