I'm typically someone who doesn't report posts like this, and in fact I've never reported theEdge or 17days, but I'm going to do so here. I just don't at all want another Edge here.

I would like to see this thread get back on topic.

I think Virtual Console would be cooler if they put out more uncommon games that are extra rare, like MUSHA and Moonwalker for instance.
I don't know much I can say about Virtual Console that hasn't already been said.

Tie Fighter and X-Wing would be cool to put out on virtual console...they would be interesting games that could take advantage of Wii controls.

Even though I'll never use the service, I'll second that. solid point

Also, if Nintendo wants to sell something that's non tangible, they should offer a written guarantee that the user can transfer the purchase from Console to Console in case something happens to the Console that the game is DLed to.

good news, musha is available on the virtual console for a whopping 8 dollars. and as i mentioned before, you can also pick up super fantasy zone, gley lancer, dracula x, alien soldier, gradius ii, pulseman, sin and punishment, super mario bros 2j, and other rare/import only games

I split off the 33 off topic posts from this thread into the "PC vs. Everything" thread. I think the person who wants to argue about how much better PCs are than the Virtual Console should make that argument in the thread that he himself started. Everyone else who wants to play Console Wars 2010 can follow him there.

Any more off topic posts will be greeted with a very on-topic week off.

All right then.
The Virtual Console seems to be worth it, and I hope they continue to put out rare, hard to get, and import games on it.

I'd be rather interested in unreleased games as other than emulation (and defacto piracy -including repro carts and betas which were supposed to be returned/destroyed), download releases will probably be th eonly official release such games ever get.

The most obvious one for me is the game that started me on console emulation several years back: Star Fox 2. However, given the lack of a Star Fox release and supposed legal issues over shared rights of the software with Argonaut (and whoever holds the rights to that now defunct entity), those games don't seem likely candidates.

I've been saying that since the beginning. The only reason I accept DLC on the iPhone is because A) your purchases are tied to an account and can be transferred/re-downloaded infinitely (at least for games). Also, they can be put on up to ?5? devices at once. B) everything is cheap, usually sub $10 C) I don't want to jailbreak my iPhone and hurt reliability or jeopardize my AT&T contract, thus if I want to play games, legit is the only way to go.

All other DLC I am not enthusiastic about.

Show me one thread that ISN'T off topic on this forum, lol.

Still, is your ban hammer threat only for this thread or every thread? Because if I can't post anything off topic in any thread...I won't be posting a whole lot...

P.S. I know this post is off topic, but I'm sure everyone is wondering the same thing, so it needs to be addressed.

P.P.S. I think comparing virtual console to PC IS on topic, though going on and on about price of PC vs consoles isn't. If the PC is genuinely better, than it should be noted.

I completely agree with you. That would give the VC a tremendous and highly useful purpose. More so than just making old retail released games available for purchase directly from the developer/publisher (again). Completely unreleased games would finally be able make money for the developer. At best, it would require essentially no costs. If there were licensing issues, then costs would arise but that's beside the point. Case in point with EarthBound Zero (also Star Fox 2 as you say), though my EBZ analogy isn't quite as good as it was released in Japan. However, that's the problem, it was only released in Japan. They could finally make money off it's US (and UK) release if they would just release the damn game on the VC already.

I've been saying this from the beginning. At least they have started releasing some JP games, but that's about it. Sega Channel games, previously unreleased games, etc. are what we really need on the VC.

At least there's something we can all agree on. :)

Yep, and that has happened with a few titles (like Alien Soldier and Pulseman), but not for nearly as many as there should.
