Topic: Wii's VC: Yay OR Nay?

DO you think Nintendo should keep the Virtual Console on Wii UP?
Is it really worth keeping "active"? Especially when it's losing games, and not getting NEW games--Especially w/ the 3DS eShop's VC being the focal point for Nintendo DL's now...

Like Cartoons? Retro Games? Or Random Animations?

Unless they can deliver us some good quality games this is my answer.

So many good games, so little money to spend.

Well considering we have got alot of new VC releases to start the year and they are still rating more why would we want to get rid of it completely.

As a consumer, what a stupid question. I don't care if they make enough money from it or not, of course I still want the option to download classic games. Besides it's not dead - we got Super Street Fighter 2, Megaman X, Strider and a KOF game in the last month or so. Hardly amazing but also hardly dead.

They should keep it up at least through most of the Wii U's life cycle, like Microsoft did with G1 Xbox Live.

Of course, they'll keep it up as long as it remains profitable.

I'd actually make use of it on Wii U, since my purchases would be tied to an online account.

Yes, they should keep it functioning. What if one of someone's files becomes corrupted, and they need to download a game again?

I hope so. I still need to get more games from it (first one that comes to mind: The Legend of the Mystical Ninja)

Uh, Yay? I cannot imagine the Wii Shop content won't also be made available on the Wii-U as it's supposed to be backwards-compatible. Given there's an application for the DSi to allow for data transfer to 3DS I expect the same to be true of the Wii, so barring licensing issues I expect the Virtual Console to continue. Heck if the online support from Nintendo is good enough it should thrive. I just want to see more VC Arcade as that was a big disappointment outside of Japan.

Hey, Sean, man, long time. Good to see you around here!

I think the VC will be around on Wii for at least a couple of years but eventually accessible only via Wii U.

I don't see why they wouldn't include it on the Wii U as DSiware is on the eshop. I hope we see some new consoles on the vc on Wii U like the Saturn, Dreamcast and arcade games that were released later than the 80's like the Mario kart arcade games and House of the dead games.

This shall always be profitable. It's not like they sell these things at a loss.

I doubt there's much they could add to it, but they should at least keep the existing releases available.

Cheers, it's been too long really. Big changes at work and my personal life kept me away.

I agree that this thread should be in the Virtual Console area; to be honest I hadn't noticed it wasn't!
