@CHET_SWINGLINE Yep exactly, just put in a 20 years old ROM with no effort whatsoever to use feature of your new system. So we finally agree about how lame and lazy this is. This is just a d*ck move a couple of month before revealing a new hardware. But still people seems to stand and defend this, whatever technical achievement is behind, I don't care, my computer was also able to do this 15 years ago. You cannot stand comment of some people here ? I cannot stand people defending this lame marketing move.

@CHET_SWINGLINE Yeah so what's the point of going the emulation way, when anyway you need to re-buy the game ? Wouldn't have this been better to get proper release with 3D specific feature ? This would have been something that would have make me consider buying the new system. But to get the exact same game again with a "full price" release again after having to buy a new system ? How can someone sane even defend this ? For the sake of being able to emulate their software on their own system ? Wow what an amazing achievement!

@Freeon-Leon No I don't agree. Using a virtual console as a game developer on your official hardware and be able to run 20 years old game only on your last upgrade of your hardware that is able to run games in 3D, is nothing to be proud of selling to your customer. We are talking about Nintendo on its own hardware, not about some independent developer that works in his backyard. Nothing to be proud of here. This strategy of using the virtual console just get more lame every time a new system is released, it shows how lazy they are and how little they care about their customer.

In the meantime I'm playing Sega 3D Classics such as Sonic 2 with 3D features and huge customization options on my standard 3DS...

I cant' believe people are defending this cr*p. I don't get why we couldn't get a proper "SNES 3D Collection" as a physical or digital release. I mean all this virtual console stuff just make no sense as long as there is no cross-buy option, so we have to pay anyway.

This is just a desperate marketing move to sell their N3DS and get rid of their stocks before the release of the NX (which will somehow require you to upgrade in the near future anyway). Are you such blinded fan-boy that you don't see it ? It is just a way to milk us more playing on the nostalgia vibe.
