Virtual console games are way too expensive

I think some are like the NES ones but the rest are alright , even if I dont pretend to buy most of them.

So far I got sonic last week and ristar this week but the hardest is thinking that if I dont buy these games I can save up for a wii game!

I'm just back from my holiday and missed a whole lot of news, so enlighten me on some of those 'outrageous' prices?

I wouldn't go as far as too say too expensive, but I would say that when you play old games now they don't seem to have the same appeal. I used to love the Amiga back in the day and I always think to myself "wow, speeball, lotus turbo challenge, rick dangerous, they were some awesome games". However, when you play them today you realise they were only good at the time, most of them now just seem plain awful.

The Virtual Console on Wii and the retro titles on Xbox Live Arcade just don't hold much appeal to me. I much prefer the newer simple titles such as Uno or Geometry Wars.

the wii is out (sc00p!) 2 channels are up now, the weather channel (of which my girlfriend and mom say doesnt work....) and the internet channel (which is actually quite cool). The wii is still not widely available (shame on you Nintendo) the friendsystem sucks balls, both people need to enter the codes, instead of one of the two entering it and the other getting the question whether to accept or not. Wii Sports is great, training mode really is fun when ur alone. Wii Play is not bad...2 of the minigames just totally suck (the place-the-mii one and the tabletennis one) Zelda ROCKS! Honestly i love it ehm....

Curry, the VC prices were specified at the Wii-day event thing earlier this year, you can't use your holiday as an excuse for this one

Large amounts of alcohol could be an excuse

Well I just got a few more games since last time .

I bought gunstar heroes on monday and then today castlevania and donkey kong country .

I cant believe that I am having more fun on these old school games than some new games I buy for £40.
