Official Wii Virtual Console Thread

Nintendo hates you all so much.

As an aside, does anyone know how well the more obscure VC games are selling? All I hear is anecdotal evidence along the lines of "Lots of grandmas are lining up to buy the Wii for themselves".

Implementing and supporting online play for a game = translating a few lines of text from one language to another, awesome point.

If they won't do the one thing that lots and lots of people really want, then why would they go through the effort of translating a game that only a few people really want?

My point is Nintendo doesn't really give a fuck about you or what you want. They're just throwing whatever shit they can quickly and easily put up (albeit only giving you little niblets at a time) on VC to make a cheap buck. If it would require any level of effort to put it up then they won't be doing it.

You have a source or a link that proves that a very small minority want S&P on the VC?

I still don't see any reason why someone would 100% believe S&P will never hit the VC, unless they purposely don't want it there so they can bitch.

No one knows what S&P is. I don't need a link to know this.

Do you have a source or link that proves more than a handful of people in the U.S. care about S&P, or even know what the hell it is?

Virtual Console is Nintendo's way of making easy money, man. They're not going to add extra options to games, nor are they going to bring over imports. This isn't pessimism, it's being realistic.

I would kill for either to hit the VC, just to have another excuse to play them AGAIN.

1UP: So when are we going to see Sin & Punishment?
MM: Ah yes, it was on the Virtual Console list that Nintendo released a while back. They are planning to put it out on VC at some point, but it's probably going to be a while still. It's really up to Nintendo in terms of how they want to stagger things out - they could probably put 1,000 games on there tomorrow if they wanted, but obviously they don't want to do that.
