Virtual Console: Who supported it?

[Segadream]

Making fun is what we do. Its easy for me its easy for you.
When its all said and done this wont matter.
But mark my words in time the revelation I've inspired here will come to fruition.
Carry on with the ridicule. It doesn't bother me and doesn't need to be moderated.
I shall laugh hardest. For it shall be at last.

Someone takes their console wars way too seriously...

War Shmar , the Sega don't need its own console anymore.
I figured out what needs to be done. Now dance puppets, dance!
But really what the hell did notendont think would happen when they flopped us a crappy non-innovated console?
This is the biggest let down since the virtual-boy.
Which is the way I would have went but with squirrel induced "colors" on the new Wii U.
BUUUT nOOOO! Huge DS....Its a fricken huge "non-3d" DS!
real innovative.

isnt fanboy ism fun ?
i thought we outgrew this a while ago

clearly i was wrong

[Segadream]

If I Am A fan of anything its that video games are still the hype.
As owner of all brands I love all my children equally.
But when one dies, re-animation is essential.
And what better way to do just that, than the D.O.A. Wii U.

writing its last rites is a bit prematurley

Love my (so called D.O.A.) DS - Love my (so called D.O.A.) 3DS - Love my HUGE DS (so called D.O.A. Wii U)

Because I'm lazy, here's my copypasta from a related /vr/ thread from 4Chan.

I think the Virtual Console is pretty terrible.

>Tons of classics that are still not added like Shatterhand, Abadox, Power Blade, R.C. Pro Am series, Bionic Commando, Snake Rattle'n Roll, Street Fighter 2010, Isolated Warrior, Flying Warriors, and many more.

>Import games cost an extra 100 points and they're still in japanese.

>A golden opportunity to localize text-heavy japan-only classics and throw them on the service is completely ignored and wasted

>Cannot remap buttons

>no advanced settings for savvy users

>Several good licensed games that will never be added (Konami's Tiny Toons games, Sunsoft's Batman, Taxan's G.I. Joe)

>Most of the "rare" and pricey titles (other than the essentials like Mario RPG ) have not been added.

>Barely any N64, Master System, or Arcade games

>Some games have been delisted (several G-Mode/Data East games, all of Irem's games, NES TMNT '89, DKC trilogy.)

>No MSX for North America

>C64 emulation is pathetic, barely any games

>Some games have been modified due to copyright issues (two songs missing in Bomb Jack, "spiderman" enemy in Arcade Shinobi is recolored.)

>Japanese Virtual Console puts ours to shame

You're pretty much better off with a modded OG Xbox.

Thanks, lol. I actually may have it changed as I came up with a more personally fitting username.

I happily admit to have modded my Wii and having tons of roms and emulators on it, oh yes. Screw Nintendo.

Hell yeah.

I did... ahem... pirate a few games, though (mostly Japanese VC Arcade releases. So much Namco stuff!)

[Gogogadget]

I can't stand this line of thinking. Do you know what that budget MD collection means? It means Sega's old games are worthless garbage, to the average person. Sega has no brand power, their old games suffer as a result.

Sure Nintendo charges an arm and a leg for ROMs, but hey at least by doing so, their games retain some integrity and perceived value.

It doesn't mean those games are 'worthless garbage', it means Sega aren't using some insane price structure to value a ROM and an emulator with.

Virtua Fighter 2 on XBLA is 400msp, so about £4. It's a port, Nintendo made a legit romsite and charge you tons of money for a ROM with an emulator, there is a fairly big difference really.

On the topic of Sega, on Virtual Console just buying either Monster World IV or Wonder Boy in Monster Land arcade costs you essentially the same as the Monster World Collection on XBLA. Hell, I think that it's cheaper on PSN, and they have the games separately!

I'm not ashamed of pirating some, especially when it's regarding now delisted games (eg: Irem and Data East's TurboGrafx games on the service)

[Gogogadget]

I don't think pirating some old Sega or NEC roms is going to hurt the industry much.

NEC & Hudson Soft probably don't make much money these days from the video game market, if any.

Probably because they're out of business
