If they have killed the Virtual Console, it's one of the stupidest moves Nintendo have ever made. And they've made some stupid moves with the Wii - not least chucking software quality control out of the window. Aside from all the shovelware that appears on the Wii, the Virtual Console was pretty much a lisence to print money for ver little effort.

They haven't updated it with anything worthwhile in ages in Europe either. Mind you, we get shafted by Sony's considerable lack of decent PSOne titles on PSN too. Don't have a 360, so I can't comment on Xbox.

I can remember using the Virtual Console all of the time when I lived with a roomate who had a Wii. This is a really poor idea and a wasted opportunity.

I think this article from ign explains things pretty well on the slow death of the VC in North America. Japan has plenty of games. Tight assed bastards

I'm not a huge fan of IGN, but they had a pretty good piece about the death of the Virtual Console. It went into great detail about the history, and it's decline over the years.

Are you guys going to review Divergent Shift? I've been hearing about it for a while now but I'm not sure if it's worth 800 points to me yet.
