Ever played Mean Bean Machine???
I too am somewhat disapointed that they haven't released some of my favorites at this point. I am happy I have Mario 64 as I love that game and hope they release some of the Mario Kart games soon.
I'm not holding my breath however as I think their strategy is to probably not release too many recent hits that it might take away from regular game sales in retail. If they were to instantly release even 10 of the all time greatest games on the VC it would probably put a dent in the sales of the marginal games on the shelf right now.
For example, I bought Zelda because I love the franchise and I'm sure most people will agree it's a pretty decent game. But the rest of the games are merely ok to me. I haven't played them all of course so I could be very wrong on some of them, but the only other ones that interest me are the racing ones at this point, and given the choice between those and Mario Kart SNES or 64 I know what I'd choose.
I'd be willing to bet that we will continue to see golden oldies, and I do mean oldies, and maybe a top 20 classic every month or so until they can get some new games out there as to not detract from retail sales. If I can't get something for 5 to 10 bucks on the VC for xmas then I might go out and spent 50 on something else once I beat Zelda.
I know this might not apply to everyone, but it sure makes sense to me from a Big N wanting to sell games standpoint.

Wii like to play together
Whoa guys give it chance, think of the games out. Why release everything at once? Gives you time to play what you've got. More will come, doors will open. Patience...Jeez you guys never seen a Star Wars flick?
I agree.
But I think they should put something a little more popular, at least one out of four they release every monday. It dosent have to be something so popular as a mairo game everytime, but something they know will do better.

I know some of you are a little younger than others and don't remember Nintendo and Sega in its younger days. Gunstar Heroes is way better than alot of titles released today. No its not Zelda quality but its still worth it.
The Wii hasn't even been out for a month yet and you people are already bitching. Heres a tip. Put the controller down for a bit. Take a walk. Go hang out with friends. Do something else besides living in front of your tv.
Take what you get and quit your bitching.

Aren't these games out on Friday? I certainly haven't seen them in the Wii shop.
Old games are great, you should try them before putting them down. Me and my brother-in-law spent 2/3 hours the other night playing Bomberman... Great fun :smilewinkgrin:
