This is really cool that nintendo's starting to release some things we have wanted for a long time but when is earthbound coming out?

Probably never. It's stuck in a legal debate over pop culture references.

Also Reggie seems to be against it coming here for some reason, at least that's what I heard.

No, this is survivable. If it was Pilotwings 64, however, you'd be dead.

Pilot Wings and Smash Bros.? Guess I better pick up a new points card soon.

And I already have the SNES copy for Super Mario Kart, but that's cool too.

Still waiting on Earthbound. I've had 1000 points just sitting there for the past year.

Well it's good to see that there's people out there like you with a glint of hope left in them...

But I for one have those dormant points sitting there for Cave Story. Which... is BOUND to come out... SOON.

Don't need to go backwards now that I own SSBB and Mario Kart Wii. But my eyes popped out of my sockets when I saw Pilotwings coming up. Can't wait for that one!

Little Nemo was awesome up until the part where you got a weapon and had to fight a bunch of shitty bosses.

Every time that I've been about to give up on the Virtual Console, Nintendo smacks me upside the head with a baseball bat made of awesome.

The hits don't hurt as much if you accept the fact that VC can't ever be given up on (until the Wii 2 comes out and VC "Reloaded" or whatever comes with it)

If Nintendo's next console isn't backwards compatible with VC games, I'll just be really, really angry.

I don't see why anyone would get mario kart or smash bros if they have the wii versions, as it's basically the same game. Good to see pilotwings though.

There's really not. In fact, there's actually less stuff in the older ones.

Less is more. Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 blow MK Wii out of the water. Super Mario Kart has arguably the best track design in kart racing game history (and the only Rainbow Road worth a damn). MK Wii adds a lot to the design, and takes a lot away in the process (much like DS and DD!! before it). Online play is hardly enough to want to put up with all of its drawbacks, especially when MK was a staple in any split-screen gamers library.

Double Dash!! still wins just for having wicked fun co-op though, even if the track design was abysmal.

Super Smash has some awesome levels that they never bothered putting in the new games. The fight for the saffron city helicopter pad will never end!

Tmac spreading the stupidity and ignorance again. You´ve obviously never actually played these games if you actually think Brawl and Mario Kart Wii are that much like their original prequels. Especially Mario Kart. What the hell kind of idiot do you have to be to think they´re even comparable experiences?

I hate to admit, but tmac is right. I find the idea of playing out of date games from the ones with more things with barely any differences in gameplay just down right retarded.

There are two types of people in this thread. People who buy games with the intention of keeping them forever and ever and ever, and people who buy games with the expectation of trading them in whenever the sequel or next big game comes out. You can figure out who's who, I'm sure.

Seriously though, how many people still play Third Strike, II Turbo, or Alpha 3 even though SFIV is out and awesome? And why is it the fanboys replay Final Fantasy VI and/or VII every year even though there are 13 main games in the series now? Did everyone stop playing Super Mario Bros. when SMB3 came out, or SMB3 when Super Mario World came out? Of the 947 Mega Man games out there, why is it that everyone goes back to play II, III, and X?

These games all share common elements (within their series), but more than annual sports game franchise X, they all overhaul (and remove) specific elements each iteration that make them all worth playing despite new entries being pumped out.

I like how you are arguing as if there is a correct view on the matter, and yours is it. It all comes down to the individual buddy.

It's pretty fun. It hasn't aged as well as a lot of SNES games, but as long as you're in a retro mindset, you'll have a ball.

I'll stick with SMK on the SNES. As much as I love rebuying titles, one copy is enough.

I wonder if Pilotwings holds up well, I haven't played it since back in the SNES days. I'm all for retro gaming, but that just seems like one that will have lost a lot of its luster over the years.
