It seems that mostly all Wii Nintendo readers agree on one thing, Virtual Console games are over priced and this is probably the underlying cause for depressed sales over the last few months.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Debuting in Season 9, all players can try a beta of The Crew Motorfest’s new ambitious track creator, TrackForge.
havent bought to many VC games just because I really think they are to expensive, if nintendo brought the price of these down I think they would make a hell of a lot more money on it. If they were like $2 for NES and $4 or so for SNES there would be a lot more people buying them for the sheer nostalgia.
Come on people! What!? I don't understand. I've heard a guy say he's not going to even buy a Wii until a price drop because its to expensive and then turn right around and tell me he bought a PS3...WHAT....$250 coooomee on. You guys are just use to getting your free but illegal rom downloads and aren't familiar at all with the going rate for classic used Nintendo games. What's $5 for ANY NES, $8 for SNES, $6 TurboGraphix (snes), $10 for N64 and $8 for Sega. I hove almost 100 or more classic games for all those console including dreamcast and atari and let me tell you unless you go to a salvation army you can find many NES(especially the good ones we all know and love) for $5 nor SNES games. If you sit up there and paid $50 or more for any game on any console and complian about VC games from $5-$10 TOPS then you are cheap. You blow more than that are McDonalds in a DAY and you can't reeat that everytime your hungry gotta go buy another one. I think more people are waiting for them to release the games that we really want on VC. At least thats what I am waiting for. I've bought some but aside from working my Wii collection I can wait tell the get some more of those gaming greats that have. GEEZ, too expensive, at $5-$10 bucks a pop, someone needs a job. But serioulsy all jokes aside, at any game crazy, game stop, eb games, or else most of the games on VC would be more than $5 or $10 especially N64. Only the very very unpopular games in NES and SNES are less that $5 and $10. I personally paid almost $30 bucks for Super Metriod and when that comes out soon everyone in the world will be saving $22 bucause it will be $8 on VC. Hell, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong for SNES was was $20 a piece.
I can always get them for free if they want to tax me like that.
These games are gone. They are a thing of the past and yes everyone has like 900 backups of them on there computer. So if Nintendo wants a few extea bucks they should sell NES 0.99, Super Nes 2.99 and N64 8.99
Then they will start selling. into that days comes, We will hack, crack and pirate these old games.
with #2 that is. To say the VC is expensive is rather ridiculous and this argument has been going on since VC was released and unfortunately will go on forever. Yes people have been to spoiled with the illegal roms on the PC and have no idea that they actually cost money to own. ah well what can you do. I bought a bunch of VC titles I don't think they are taxed at all. I feel PSN prices are a bit much and XBarcade is a bit weak but that we also can't change...
