I loved Star on the New York team. He'd crush the crap out of the ball. Best moment ever I had was hitting a Grand Slam with Carter, one of the pitchers on that team. The ball barely made it over the right field fence but it was awesome. The animation of the opposing pitcher collapsing in shock on the mound made it all the better.

D'agh, here's hoping for Baseball Simulator 1.000 to come out soon, because that was a REAL NES baseball game.

@Foxstar Sixtail: I know. I specifically used Chrono Trigger for my example, as I assumed it was one of the most requested games, and also one of the least likely to ever appear.

@Squieonat: SE has gone on record to say that any high profile games (FF, CT, etc) they would rather repackage and re-release on the DS or PSP instead of VC.

I remember bases loaded being awesome when i was like 8. I wonder how it holds up today? You would think that we could at least get 1 high profile game a month. Like maybe mario rpg or for me super mario kart. I want super mario kart lol.

So this marks, what, month four of crap releases? Not that I blame anybody in particular, as I'm aware it's not as simple as:

"Oh, let's release Chrono Trigger on the Virtual Console."
"Hey, good idea."

But this is all a moot point, as I own a NES, SNES and N64 anyway.

@fenderfuel08: I've still got a few doubts on Super Mario RPG; would the fact that Square owns the rights to the non-Nintendo characters like Geno and Mallow (as indicated by the credits to Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga) be an issue? I'm sure it'll be out eventually, but I don't think that one's completely up to Nintendo.

The two games a week is a bummer, but keep in mind that they're trying to stretch this over two or three years (and apparently singlehandedly, given that most of the non-Nintendo consoles haven't seen new titles in ages). Sooner or later, we're bound to get Earthbound and the rest of the titles that most of us are waiting for.

Also, Yoshi's Cookie kicks ass. That is all.

@Doomstink: "Tangibility"? I'm not sure what you're getting at but used NES games are iffy at best. I've bought tons of used NES games and maybe 60% of them actually work.

So you can spend $10 and get a sealed copy off Ebay (+ shipping, + the ridiculous hassle of using Ebay) and then wait a week or two for your game or spend $5 and get a convenient copy right on your Wii's dashboard. Or you can spend $2.99 and get a used copy from some hock shop and hope that it works. It's your choice!

But only one of those options has 100% odds of you...playing the game you want to play.

@Jcnet: VC uploads are almost completely dependant on what the publisher of the game wants to do with it. Sure Nintendo could upload a AAA title more often, but if it was on Nintendo alone, the content would run out right quick. Why am I the only one that remember when Reggie said "VC games depends on who owns what?"

@Phantazmo:Super Mario RPG will come out in time. Shining Force 2 however is not a Nintendo title. It's up to Climax to do it.

@Erwos:Both services have good games and crap, deal with it.

@fenderfuel08:Again, Nintendo simply provides the service, it's up to the various publishers to provide the content. Stop bitching at Nintendo, bitch at Konami/Capcom/SE/Namco/Koei/Sega/Treasure/etc.

In my opinion nintendo would be better off offering only the best VC titles available and should stop watering down and cluttering their shop channel with garbage titles.

Not referring to yoshi's cookie here or bases loaded here, but the last 3 months of garbage games for the VC. There are so many excellent AAA titles to offer and nintendo is shoveling out stinkers/stuff no one has heard of on a continual basis.

For example, I would like to see the original smash bros, super mario RPG, Super mario World 2: Yoshi's island, Super Mario Kart SNES, Super Mario All-stars, Zelda: Majora's Mask, Donkey Kong 64 etc.

Oh Bases Loaded, I remember playing this when I was like oh, 7 or 8 with my mom and dad, and they would always just get pissed because I could never explain to them how to throw to bases cause I always just did it instinctively, it usually ended something like 20-0 and my parents being like, this game sucks, learn the controls.

I was also so young I thought higher ERAs were better so I always had the worst pitchers in lol

"i forget what team he was on but the one player named Paste he hit homeruns constantly."

Paste played for Philly i think. And yeah, if you golf-swing at anything with him its instant home run. God, I loved that game. Really REALLY doubt it will stand up sans retro goggles though.

Why the NES version of Yoshi's Cookie instead of the SNES one? If they're doing this just so they can release the SNES one later, that's pretty low.

The money issue works out against the consumer sometimes but for the consumer most of the time, particularly if that person is interested in rarer or import titles on the VC.

"... and Nintendo shows Microsoft how to _really_ load down your online service with trash."

You've got to be joking. I guess you'd rather play Yaris than Super Metroid.

Two games that can easily be found for a $1.99 or less anywhere NES games are still sold/traded. You can still get sealed copies of Yoshi's Cookie on eBay for $9.99. I suppose I understand paying $5.00 for it if you don't still have an NES lying around....

Bases Loaded was awesome...in 1987. I remember being able to bean a batter twice in a game to trigger a brawl. The batter would then be ejected. Whenever I'd play against a friend, he'd try to get my best hitter ejected by constantly beaning him. Memories.

Thanks for the horribly VC updates nintendo

Thanks for the greed nintendo

The wii may get good games and I do own two wii's BUT I find it disgustging how psychotic nintendo is behaving - horribly VC updates totally destroying what could have been a glorious marketplace for nintento, 480p supprt, and online multiplayer that is so god awful I might as well be playing multiplayer via the sega saturn.

Way to screw up everything you touch nintendo. Thanks!

PS selling well DOES NOT mean they havent screwed the wii up. The wii is only 1/10th as good as it could have been since nintendo screwed up almost every aspect of it.
