Topic: NA VC has a lot of catching up to do!

@Rapadash: Your lost. I think Nintendo of America must be saving all those games for December. It'll be a great month for the Virtual Console if that unlikely as heck prediction happends.

If Nintendo of America have given up, they would have cancelled the Virtual Console already. On top of that, we have more then 10 Nintendo games that are up for the Virtual Console (Yes this includes Earthbound), so we should see some in the near future. It's not like we have to wait for a milestone week every time we get a Nintendo game.

Phantasy Star has been already in America. I hope download it later.

Same for FF.

We know that. However, those of us who are STILL waiting are American.

Now it has a lot to catch-up, we have no stand-out games already here that have yet to make an apperance in Europe. The European and Australian Virtual Console is officially better then the North American Virtual Console.

japan is the king of the virtual console

They sure do. And with that in mind, I'll wait with patience.

Rare needs to make a comeback on VC - I'd download DK64 in a heartbeat.

I've been optimistic about Virtual Console up until the latter half of this year. I'm sorry but I just can't say with confidence anymore that ANY of the games I'd like to see will ever show up, at least in North America. Japan and Europe, however, seem to be doing just fine, which is BS, to put it bluntly. Now Europe's even getting weeks with TWO releases and no longer at the sacrafice of a following week like in the old days.

There has to come a point where you just look at the situation logically and that's what I've been forced to do. The fact is, we have a huge back log of C64 and Arcade titles that are "clogging up the pipes" so to speak. With us being so far behind on both of those fronts and NOAs absolute refusal to release more than a single game every week, coupled with the games that just seem to come out of no where (Crash and the Boys for example), Nintendo just has no reason to release any of thier own titles. Whether or not this will be a perminent thing, I don't know and that does seem unlikely, but it's hard to ignore what's happening with it right now.

I'd also like to add that I do like some of the games being released, that's not so much the issue for me. I'm just worried that 1st party titles will become Taboo in North America.
