Sure I enjoy playing the old games but on modern consoles. I'm not going to go back and play an NES or Game Boy. I have several old cartridge games lying around which I don't play that I would download on day one if they eventually came to Virtual Console.
me!
I play my N64 from time to time, and my GBC is always with new batteries and Pokémon TCG on it
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

I have my PS2 hooked up to my TV right now and tomorrow I'm heading out of town and taking my Gamecube with me.
Those are the oldest consoles I have though. There's like... 3 good N64 games, total, and they're all on Wii VC, so no loss there. Every SNES game I care about is on VC too. Every PS1 game I care about is on PSN, etc, etc.

I do I've been playing my Megadrive (Streets of Rage 2, Street Fighter 2 and 2 awesome condition official 6 button controllers came this week courtesy of ebay), N64 (Goldeneye, Bomberman and WWF No Mercy) and Pokemon Mini (I'm hooked on Tetris Shake! Gotta catch em all!)
I still play on my Wii too, I love the on rails shooters such as Ghostsquad and House of the Dead
In fact I haven't played my Wii U or 3DS much recently
I play GameCube and GBA, but divested of older systems. The GBA I'll keep until every cart I have is on Wii U VC, and I doubt that will happen with some of the games I have there.
I do. Whenever I go to my girlfriends house to hang, we usually end up playing with her Nintendo 64 or Gamecube or Wii. She doesn't have a Wii U yet, but she really wants one.
I do. I'm so miserly that I play most N64 games on my old worn-out joysticks, though I do have Mario Kart 64, Majora's Mask, and Kirby 64 on Wii VC (I never owned the original cartridges).
I also bought a Genesis this year because some of its games that I wanted are not available on modern systems.
I still play a lot Super Mario Kart and PLOK on my SNES, as well as a bunch of classics on PS1. Sadly, I currently can't play my GCN or BGA games anymore, but I'm trying to get that outta the way.
I still play my SEGA Genesis and Super NES from time to time. I have them out, but I have to get the cable hookups from my gaming bag whenever I want to play them.
I don't have a CRT anymore and playing old consoles on an HDTV just isn't the same so I tend to stick with the virtual console. If I had a CRT then I'd definitely use my old consoles. I've been tempted to pick one up many times but I don't really have the room.
