Topic: No VC release this week?!

If that in bold indeed does happen, I will have no choice but to rely on Ebay for the unrelease classics such as Earthbound and Sonic & Knuckles and buy and PS3 for my main entertainment. It'll also prove that Nintendo of America, not Nintendo as a whole, has abandon the hardcore gamers (That's only NOA fault).

It's time to start an petition.

@Super Smash Bros. Fan 1999-You should buy a Playstation 3, I bought one 2 days ago.

You guys, I can reply to the rep. What should I say? Do you guys want me to?

after getting Pulseman last week, i have no need for more VC games for awhile

No. They'll probably just send the same message over again.

That would be true if the virtual console was solely intended for "hardcore" gamers.

It's not. So you're left with "Nintendo of America is abandoning everyone" and that just sounds silly.

Tell him to quit lying, and support the VC a LOT MORE.

Seriously; sometimes I wish half of the people on Nintendo Life would actually stop complaining & get a life! God knows the whole site would be better off; but what can you do about it?! Sigh!

I already posted about this on this week's news article, yet I will re-post here my most important point.

Remember when we posted (sometimes huge) lists of games we wanted released on Virtuaal Console as a response to that "What Nintendo games do you want release on Virtual Console?" news article? Maybe Nintendo left Virtual Console alone this week in order to straighten out these things in preparation for future Wii Shop releases. (In other words, the lack of Virtual Console releases this week could be a sign that that news article with all of our request lists actually worked or at least fulfilled its mission.)

I couln't believe nothing new came. Probably becuse of the big WiiWare release today.

@KnucklesSonic8: Like I said, call them out on the incorrect info in the e-mail they sent you. There's no excuse for having your info that out of date when you're supposed to be a professional company.

@AlexSays: Unfortunately, as near as I can tell, there aren't all THAT many non-core-gamer's interested in the VC (deduced from conversations with customers), so Nintendo really is disappointing us more than anybody else by not releasing a VC game. It doesn't help that the percentage of Wii's that have ever accessed the Shop Channel is doubtlessly pathetically low (again, deduced from my conversations with customers and friends, very few of whom have ever even HEARD of the Shop Channel/VC/WiiWare until I tell them, even if they've had a Wii for months). I still say that's Nintendo's fault for doing a bad job advertising it.

@MarkyVigoroth: I don't see how it makes sense to say that we got NO games because Nintendo decided to listen to our pleas for MORE games.
Besides which, I'm not 100% sure if that's been sent out yet. Could an Administrator please shed some light on this situation?

Stuffgamer1-san, there were TONS of games suggested in those comments, so I would not be surprised if whomever was involved in the Virtual Console releases felt overwhelmed and wanted a small pause in Virtual Console releases in order to sort out things (especially if only one person was involved, as some forum members spectulate).

Yeah, hopefully they release them all by most requested, and by two a week.

So next week we could expect EarthBound and Yoshi's Island.

Maybe. You never know.

@MarkyVigoroth: MAYBE, but I sincerely doubt it. We've been asking for these games for almost three years...do you REALLY think they'd choose to listen only NOW?

Good suggestion, I'll probably get it, but when I get it depends on if they have abandon Virtual Console support.

Excuse me? You always complain in ALL CAPS yet you tell people to stop complaining. Quit being a hypocrite. But I did notice you didn't use CAPS this time.

Coming from the guy who writes a wall of text EVERY WEEK that's mostly in caps and has 20 smiley faces, complaining about the lack of Super Smash Bros.

Oh the irony!

@Captain Jack Sparrow-Is there ANYTHING you can tell us besides telling us to quit complaining!? Besides, we have the right to complain.

Of course you have the right to complain, it doesn't make it any less boring to hear the same petty grievance aired for the millionth time.

Then tell me this. Do you want Nintendo to pull the plug on the VC service? Of course not! I deleted the topic, because you guys do not seem to care what happens to the VC, so I rant here. Boring? Nintendo has about messed up so much, that I bought a PS3. The PS3 is amazing, it is a shame that Nintendo has not gotten their act together.
