They've created an absolutely new market for themselves, people who already have the original games are re-buying them on the virtual console.

Keep in mind that the older games such as ones for N64, Sega, etc aren't actually being profited off of anyways by anyone except for the retailer (old or used stock).

You realize that you're really the first person to say this, right?

Everyone else here says "GAYMZ COST 2 MUCH."

Me, I'd go get the rom.
And a 20$ usb controller.

Epic win.

i just use emulators its just my friends that buy the games. i have no problem with the cost of the games as i have bought a couple and plan to buy more. the only games i buy are ones i cant find free copies of that work or arent in japanese or something, lol i cant tell what it is

Games are collector items now, specially the cartridge games because you can't just make a copy like you can with a CD or DVD like with PS1, Dreamcast,3DO ect.

The old systems have a nostalgia behind them and appeal to people who owned them as kids and want to live back their childhood. Or other just plain out gaming buffs that love the history and go for a collection of them. Its more about owning the old game, not so much playing it. If you want to simply play it download it its way cheeper if not free, if you want to own it to add to you classics collection your gonna have to pay a decent price.

I just sold a couple mint rare Atari 2600 games that were doubles in my collection. One went for 75 bucks one went for 150 with the box. I've seen some reach well over 500 or more for one old rare game. Me, I just like to collect them and play them so I look for the best deals on used ones. Even if it is on VC I still try to buy them in original form because I have the system to play them on.
Others want museum quality collection more for looks and braging rights than anything.

Guys, I hope you notice that ROMs and Emulators that you download are illegal. It's common sense. If you find something that costs money to be free for download, it's obviously illegal. Plus, Nintendo noticed and now they're making some download sites take down Nintendo ROMs.

*EDIT*
This is only my opinion, but I think anyone with horrible grammar online are less than 18 years old. Seriously, some children don't get the meaning of "illegal" and "able to get you in jail"...

Not necessarily, if the original cart' is in your possesion or owner ship then it is legal having if you download and market it or do not own the original cart' then it is illegal.

Gee, thanks for that tidbit of information captain. A lot of things are illegal, simple things like even jay walking or downloading MP3s (most), but who actually follows and enforces these rules on a regular basis?

Once again, I really appreciate you informing me (and the rest of us all) of societies common laws.

Not only do I know its illegal, but I also download DVD's, burn them and sell them. I do the same thing with music also. Piracy is fun!
