Topic: Would you prefer bad games being released instead of getting zero games?

Of course everyone loves their well known good classic games. This isn't about that.

If given the choice between three months of zero games like Europe has gotten recently or three months of crap games, which would you prefer?

I'd say bring on the crap games. For two reasons - despite being crap, some games still have their fans. Also, those crap games would still have to be released at some point, crap games now and good games later instead of no games now and crap & good games later.

I'm sure there are those who would prefer no games at all. I'm not one of them.

Each VC game has fans or at least nostalgic value for some people,
doesn't matter how bad a game appears by todays standards.

Every single game has a right to exist.
There are no crappy or worthless games - only people with different tastes.

Anyway, it's clear that Nintendo is reserving most VC titles for Wii U,
with maybe a handful of games still to be released on the Wii.

Well said, and I was just wondering where you went to, SKTTR.

Considering that there are still tons of good games that haven't been released on the VC yet, I wouldn't want either option. I hope they are planning to release more on the Wii U VC, like SKTTR said.

no games, as the shovelware problem has hurt Nintendo enough already

No games because then I would be more likely to spend that time on better things.

I'd much rather get no games. At least we'll know that totally awesome games are in development when nothing is released for a while.

I think its best that any and every game be released. Like as been previously stated the concept of "bad games" is subjective. I know I have some silly little attachment to some notorious NES games.

Bad games are the same as getting no game.
Would you get a bad game?

Sometimes America goes for months without getting any VC games. I'd much rather have something (even a "bad" game) than nothing.

Agree. Astyanax (NES) was a terrible game, yet for some reason I loved it (mainly for the music and intense boss fights).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) was also a terrible game, but I loved it cause of the quirky music and the fact that it was a Turtles game.

How do you figure that? There aren't many left that don't have licensing issues, unsupportive rights holders, emulation issues, filesize issues (mainly arcade games), nor special peripherals or other unorthodox features.

@BulbasaurusRex: I suppose, but I can think of several that still need to be released, like Mega Man 6 and 7, Mega Man X2 and X3, Mario Party 3, Donkey Kong 64(might be problem with Rare, but who knows what's up, and I know you mentioned licensing issues, I'm just sayin'), Contra, Double Dragon II, and there's probably a bunch more. If there's a problem with any of these, feel free to tell me, because as of right now I see nothing stopping these titles from getting released (except maybe DK 64, but I already mentioned that).

What some people may see as being a 'crap game', other would see it as an 'amazing game'.

_{and what is a crap game? a game that someone doesn't like?}

I wouldn't buy a bad game, so it'd be like not getting a game, or getting no games ...

I must have a pile of unheard-of Famicom games I'd like to see someone defend the existence of. Don't know if any are Action 52-bad, though.

Bring it on with the 'bad' games that brings amusing reviews.

I'd take bad games over no games, unless the game is "Super Pitfall"
