Nope, just VC games and the crappy Dragonball Z Wii game. It's torture having a perfect controller and no games to use it with. If it wasn't for Super Smash Bros. Brawl I'd just sell it.

Thanks for saving me $20. Last thing I need is another controller.

I want to use Y and B. There's no reason that I shouldn't be able to do that.

Why would anyone want to play an N64 game anyway. They should have just called the VC 16-bit deja vu instead. That's where 90% of the retro goodness lies. Hell, if they got Neo Geo rights, that would move to 95% or more.

Only 2 games I want to play for N64: Beetle Adventure Racing and Tetrisphere. BAR is still great but I can live without, but Tetrisphere, it is different enough as a puzzle game that there isn't anything quite like it so I would like to have it as my first VC game (then I can get rid of my N64 altogether).

BAR will never come out, because the license has likely expired, so you're down to one.

Yah I figure as much. Tetrisphere would be awesome though. It will never happen, Nintendo hates me.

Why would anyone buy the Classic Controller when the GC controller works just as well?

Seriously, please explain why so many of you are dumb like this.

In a purely fictional world where I'm cool with being raped by Virtual Console, I would use the Wiimote to play NES, TG16 and some Genesis games and my Hori GBASP pad for SNES and other Genesis games. Everything sucks for N64 games, but there's none worth playing around anyway.

I would but it was an impersonal attack, actually.

That doesn't seem right, I would need to ask the guys over at the gamesx.com forums about the engineering behind that. They would have to program the output chips to send the an image sequence only at a specific time to make that happen. I don't know something just seems incredibly wrong with this and your supposed 240p (which isn't even a supported resolution format for televisions) still is not the same as 480p.

That's with out going into all the color bleeding and dot crawl that you get on a genesis or any older piece of hardware, where they top out at composite output.
