@Rapadash6: No, it IS Nintendo's fault. You really think it matters to software pirates they can rip off VC games on their Wii...when they can easily just find the roms on the internet and play them on emulators on their PCs? This is just Nintendo being cheapskates to maximize their profits, and because they realize that casual gamers are clueless or indifferent to having more storage.
@Link79: Having a hard drive wouldn't simply create better way to store your VC and WiiWare titles. Nintendo could actually start providing downloadable demos for their disc based retail games and even have downloadable content for other games (That is something that the Wii version of Rock Band desperately needs). Basically...Nintendo could actually start to match the XBox 360 and PS3 in terms of expanding the gaming experience.
Filled with retro-remakes? I wish. XBLA is filled mostly with average to poor original games. I'd love to get more games like TMNT or Pac-Man C.E. on there. I await The Simpsons arcade game and TMNT: Turtles In Time.
I don't really understand Nintendo's fears of piracy with VC titles. People who are already interested in pirating old games are, and probably have been doing so through emulation and roms on the internet for some time now.

Re: Only Geeks And Otaku Want Extra Storage On The Wii
I guess the next time I have some disposable money...it will be going to XBox Live Arcade instead of the VC or WiiWare.

Re: US VC Releases - 11th February - Harvest Moon
I hope you guys keep announcing VC titles early like this. It's just nice to know ahead of time.

Re: US VC Releases - 8th October - Neo Geo Week
I hope Nintendo adding Neo Geo games is a sign that we could see old school Gameboy games come to the VC.
Re: US VC Releases - 10th September - Sonic 3
@Bill: I've got a feeling they won't release SMB 3 until it's close to the release of Super Mario Galaxy.
