That was one of the worst puns I have heard in a long time. Bravo, Ludwig, bravo.

So I guess we're never getting Dracula X Rondo Of Blood-TG16 in North America?!
How about TMNT4-SNES, Keith Courage-TG16, SVC Chaos-NG, Puzzle Bobble-NG and Phantasy Star-SMS?
VC has become a big let down as far as I'm concerned!

I'm pretty much just waiting on Illusion of Gaia at this point. Maybe Yoshi's Island.

Otherwise, I've given up on the VC. NOA sucks too much to keep it up properly.
...although at least it doesn't suck as bad as the PSN store does with PS1 games.

My five favorite games haven't been released yet! I hate Nintendo and Virtual Console sucks! Why don't they just let me make all their decisions! I know much better than them!

How, how, how, how in the name of the Lord God Almighty of Heaven Hell Earth and the Baby Jesus could anyone complain about a dearth of titles with the recent (and may I add exquisite?) releases of such titles as, oh, I don't know, bloody fucking Ogre Battle, Life Force, MUSHA, StarTropics II, and so on.

Obviously I've come across much more obnoxiously than my usual here, but in all seriousness - there are a whole hell of a lot of games that have been released in the past 25 years, and the release of each entails the participation of multiple companies. All things considered, if you can honestly look at this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(North_America)
and say "it's been a big letdown" or "Virtual Console isn't worthwhile", then you have absolutely zero objective sense of gaming, and perhaps should refrain from making such bogus generalizations.

Yourself:

There have been some great games released on the VC, but Nintendo has considerably slowed down on the releases since WiiWare came around. That and the frequent crap releases that have been a staple of the service since it began haven't helped things.

Plus, it's terribly overpriced.

Ogre Battle and Secret of Mana make the VC the best thing EVVAA!!

Though there should be more then one vc game a week..Nintendo is up to something.

You know what the point is, there are amazing games that have not been released that are essential for my taste in games as per the ones I listed that aren't available.
There is so much crap on the VC and yes, there are some good games too.
I own the games I like, but we've been bombarded with crap that doesn't measure up to other VC areas and NA is not bringing out the best of the past.
Sure there's a lot of variety accross multiple platforms but so what? It means very little to me if the games I want aren't released.
If you're happy with the VC's offerings then good for you but that doesn't mean everyone else has to be!

I believe this service has become officially irrelevant. Although, I do agree with samfish the PSN, PS1 service is far worse.

I'd like more games too, especially some standouts like Contra and Strider that are missing without any comprehensible reason, but irrelevent seems a bit harsh.

After all, we just got Life Force a few weeks ago; I couldn't fault that week no matter how I tried.

Apparently it's no longer implied that what is posted here is a matter of personal opinion. Sorry, I'll be sure to include next time the internet speech of " IMO " so you can understand.

I love how Nintendo went ape$hit for YEARS over people posting ninty ROMS online. They knew one day that would have this INCREDIBLE wiiware store that they could re-release their back catalog and make sweet sweet money.

Now the time has come... their business plan as been written and they've FINALLY hooked us up with all of our favorites like Alex Kidd.

And yet, another week goes by where Nintendo hasn't announced the date of its storage solution. Is it really all that hard to tell us WHEN it will happen? It's spring already Nintendo.

I'm still holding out on buying anything on this service till the solution happens. And that has been since Lost Winds came out. And from what I hear that the solution is just downloading straight to sd...then I guess I have more time to wait...darn, I really like the gradius series...oh well, more money for XBLA and PSN from me...

Does "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, 1, 2, 1, 2, minus, plus" still work for this one?

I know one of the gradius game in Wii works...
