Japan's Virtual Console lineup confirmed

Posted by diggersf on Thu, 11/30/2006 - 2:44am | |

Every console should do this. It is so beautiful to play these old games. This should be like a service provided to all Americans along with social security. Like seriously, all the roms of all time should be kept under government control and distributed to the masses.

The Wii virtual console is actually I think the Wii's biggest selling point, but maybe thats just me.

Weird. I'm currently struggling with a Macroeconomics paper regarding the Social Security crisis (or non-crisis).

I just hope we get all those good titles over here.

ah good ol' macro, i miss macro and tfish's "I love Money". I am taking Micro, which basically means spend a semester in hell, die a little inside, and learn nothing.

I think the titles in the us should be the same, its not like there is really anything holding back them back in terms of licensing. Its time Japan gets screwed for once, Nintendo should give us twice as many virtual console games than Japan.

Japan did get screwed for once in that the US got the Wii first and their's got delayed. I was surprised to see that we were actually going to get a Japanese product first.

yeh that amazed me as well, I at first didn't think the story was real, but I guess thats the real world. Thats why the 360 launch was horrible, and thats what I was hoping for in the ps3, hoping for supposed 1000 dollar blu ray players to be rushed to launch with cardboard and glue as innards.
