They just keep finding more and more ways to anger me. I swear, never before have I went from total support of a corporation to down-right, demon-infested hatred born from a thousand black suns.
This is exactly why I have completely given up on the VC. As far as I'm concerned, Nintendo bordered on false advertisement when they first boasted about the VC. This IS NOT what any of us expected. Among all the games that have someones name or movie title attached (Riddick Boew Boxing, Star Wars, WWF wrestling) among all the games that have been remade on the DS and GBC (Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy), now even favorites like Bionic Commando aren't being released.
I really feel like a gullible idiot. I was naive enough to believe that the orginal Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior would be like any other game and eventually arrive on the VC. Now though, it seems like major, popular titles like that have no chance of coming to the VC because they already exist on the DS. Instead, we get this crap.
Look around at the forums. When I say "fans" I am talking about VC fans. Out of those of us who bought a Wii primarily for the VC, I think it's safe to say that the majority is disappointed.
First off, comparing the VC to the XBLA is comparing apples to oranges. The VC is specifically designed to inherit a vast library of pre-existing games, that should be a piece of cake to port over. The XBLA relies more on new games specifically created for the 360.
The VC today does not reflect how it was originally marketed. Nintendo lied and that's all you should need to hear as a consumer. There was never any talk about licensed games being a problem tor a downturn in release frequency. It was marketed as "play all you favorite classic games." I even remember the number "three" marketed as the amount of games released per week. Not "one" or "two" Either way, you can make excuses for Nintendo, but that doesn't change that the fact that the majority of fans are extremely disappointed at this point and have good reason to be. Nintendo knows it and has done nothing to accommodate the problem. That should tell you something too.
At this rate, even if the Wii lasts another five years, there is no way the VC will capture the majority of good games on all those consoles.
