I think the problem most people have is they are tying to use this as a desktop browser, were as it is in fact a MOBILE browser. Comparing the DSi browser to your pc browser is completely unfair. You should be comparing it to other mobile browsers such as the ones built into smart phones/PDA's.
If you want to use face book on a mobile web browser, go to the mobile site (m.facebook.com) this works perfectly on the DSi. Most major sites have a mobile version that works perfectly for the DSi, all you have to do is chose the mobile version.
So I'm not the only one feeling impatient by the lack of RPG's on the VC. Surprised by the lack of FF's in the top 5 though, I would have expected FF VI* to be there. I'm also wanting Illusions of Gia,
"Better to spend your Wii points on one decent title than three rubbish ones, eh?"
I'd agree if I gave a dam about sports games. If I wanted to snowboard I'd go outside. The fact that I'm inside means I want a good game to play, which is clearly not going to happen any time soon on the VC.
"The VC is obviously going to slow down eventually, some people are just can't accept that.."
Why would it obviously slow down when less than 1% of available games have been released? Why should I "just” accept that no decent RPG has been released, or that Nintendo is seemingly focusing on a single genre (fighting) to the exclusion of all others?
Please explain why I must accept this of a system I paid cold hard cash on, based on the unfulfilled promise of good classics to be released on the VC?
Great first they lower the number of games we get, then they increase the number of systems thus decreasing our chances of ever seeing a good game. Whats more they basically say they only care about releasing fighting/platform games in the release.
So from these points I can assume the chances of ever seeing a decent RPG is slim to none (and slim has left town)?
Harvest Moon? I have to say its about time Nintendo started releasing the big guns.
But only releasing one game is just going to make people hate the game no matter how good it is. It seriously looks to me like Nintendo is purposely trying to sabotage the VC.
"I wonder why we keep getting the games based on American sports"
How is hockey an amarican sport? Granted they own most of the teams simply becuse they have mor money... But the players are mostly canadian. Not to mention the fact the the game was invented in canada. Heck even the Zamboni was invented in canada.
"Why would Square-Enix bother releasing any games for the VC when they can charge full price for their constant remakes."
Because the VC version would not be a remake, and would need little to no work. They would sell a ton, and make lots of money from almost no effort.
What’s more everyone knows most FF fans would buy it on the VC even if they own it on another platform for the classic feel. And vice a versa, fans would buy it on other platforms even if they own it on the VC for the extra features…
In the end its really win win for Square to release their classic library on every platform that can handle them.
What a surprise more fighting games. I suppose the introduction of Neo Geo games means its even more unlikely we will ever see any of the good RPG's for the SNES? As that is the primary reason I bought the Wii I'm seriously thinking of selling it.
One point you did not really get across is this: This console is the holy grail of console RPG gaming. Almost all modern console RPG's can trace their origins to this system.
So once again RPG fans get screwed over in favour of platform games. When are they going to finally release Breath of Fire for us lowly Canadians to play?

Re: Review: Uncharted Waters: New Horizons (SNES)
I have so many memory of playing this on zsnes as a kid. Its great I finnaly have a chance to own this awesome game for the Wii.
Re: USA VC Update: Commodore 64 Launches With Three Games
3 Games is nice. But seriously Nintendo should start focusing more on Nintendo games.
I'm just guessing here, but most of us bought a Nintendo system because we are Nintendo fans, not because we are C64 fans.

Re: US VC Releases - 14th January - Pac-Attack
Typical crap in the place of good games that could have been.

Re: Surprise EU VC Release - Pokemon Snap + worldwide Photo Channel update
Only Nintendo could come up wit the concept of removing support for one of the worlds most universal standards.
Re: Check Mii Out Channel to hit on Sunday
I have a weird bug with it. I have about 6 mii's on the wii but when I go to this channel it says I have none.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Greatest Zelda ever, and one of the greatest games for the SNES. I have so many fond memorys of this game from when I was a kid.
My only disappointment with it is that they never made a proper sequel. If they made a LTTP/II it would be a platinum seller.

Re: Neutopia II
Thanks Zantagor. I cant stand passwords so I was debating weather to try it, but I will now that I know it has a save feature.
Re: Neutopia II
Does this one use passwords or does it have a save feature?

Re: Super Mario World
Is it just me or does that Japaneses box art of Super Mario 4 look allot like a level in Super Mario Galaxy?
