it's awesome off the xbox live arcade.

But the cost for what amounts to ROM downloads you can steal by the thousands for. Virtual console is such a complete rip-off I can't stand how anyone likes it. I'm not saying steal it but $6-12 for something that costs them nothing and is easily availiable is just too much. $2-5 is acceptable.

lol so regardless of what game it is, $6 is too much but $5 isn't?

PS360WII5835d ago

don't forget you'll also have to tack on a dollar or two for convenience so all in all it's a fare price and nice to have all games in one area. Plus getting them legal is nice too

Wii Ware is worth spending money on. Virtual Console is a very big stretch.

Hudson Soft is giving Wii owners its second dose of Bonk with Bonk's Revenge. The Turbo-Grafx 16 platformer is due sometime next month on the Virtual Console, according to the publisher's official list. Also on the list for next month are Dragon's Curse, Bravoman, Battle Lode Runner and Shockman.

The first title to be released, Dragon's Curse, is scheduled for next Monday, April 2. All titles will be priced the usual 600 Wii Points for purchase. Also known for next month are three from Sega, including a 2-dimensional Virtua Fighter 2. No word on what classic titles, if any, Nintendo will release in April.

I love Bonk!
Now if only Nintendo would allow JPN DL's so I could have Shockman II!
Or even better Castlevania X for the PC Engine Duo!

I miss my PC Engine Duo...
