Any one else feel a little ripped off by VC?

sagema · 09-27-2007, 08:12 PM

Conan. This isn't the first time you complained so heavily about VC. That's why I said quit complaining. If I see anyone here nag on and on, thread after thread about the same thing, I'll put my two cents in, because they apparently want it.

Pm me if you want the link to the website...if you want it. Just for the fact im trying to help you out not advertise on this cool site.

I went that route too.. I got 2,000 points, and basically filled out every survey they had, I couldnt earn more unless I started buying junk... I'd rather just buy the points.

Not to mention the Pyramid Scam mail I get in my REAL mailbox now, and the $3,300 Scam Check I recieved the other day!

hmmm..interesting points made. I see you guys concern with the price, but hey, it is what it is. People are buying the games at that price so they're going to keep selling them at that price until demand drops....simple rules of supply and demand...as far as the selection itself; i guess its hard to please everybody. Maybe they should come up with a voting system where the wii owners (those that have registered their wiis) can vote for the games that they want to be available on VC. Sounds like a good idea if i say so myself

I think you've just found a real use for the 'everybody votes' channel there.

VC games are overpriced but they do have some classics on there. As for the games dieing if the console does i'm not really sure. If your Wii is registered then i would have thought that Nintendo could restore them to a replacement Wii.

How do you do that?

supanova · 09-28-2007, 03:46 AM

I'm not really that fazed by the price. Sure, they do seem expensive for a download, but whatever, I have no problem with the price.

They just need to stop releasing shitty ****ing games.

JJ & Jeff, anyone?

opitekk · 09-28-2007, 10:08 AM

Aimless bitching for sure.

I dont feel ripped off because i dont purchase VC games.

and you need to finish metroid prime and super paper mario or you will feel ripped off but thats your own fault.

If you want the old games i suggest going to a flea market and buying them for cheaper.

jesse1596 · 09-28-2007, 10:20 AM

I feel ripped off for sure, I haven't bought a vc games in ages because I ran out of points but I haven't bothered getting more points because they games they release are just not that interesting. I do agree with you connan they should release them in order like contra before contra III or super C.

another blind insult......Thanks......let me show you something........I dumped the NES bin just for you. There are a few N64 games mixed in too. 88 NES games.

Im not finished with metroid prime yet, but Super Paper Mario was made for 3 year olds.....its a good game, but I quit near the end, since its impossible to die, or even be stumped for that matter.

Conan the Librarian · 09-28-2007, 10:50 AM

actually, i just made a fun game.....see how many you can name......its like where's waldo.

Metroid and SMB2 are a little obvious.

The name written on the SMB2 was a kid that went to my middle school and died. I traded and got it through his neighbor years later in highschool. Kinda creepy.

Here's what you said insulting, since you are pretending not to know.

"Aimless bitching", "thats your own fault", "You need to.......", OH, DO YOU REMEMBER NOW? SINCE IT WAS A FEW HOURS AGO? NO INSULTS HERE. "what am I looking for?"......

YOU are aimlessly bitching, its YOUR own fault, and YOU need to suck my **** do i sound insulting? because im not trying to be at all, i swear.

I dont know man, maybe bc a tub of games in a closet is more of an inconvenience than going to a wii channel, you ****ing moron........is that maybe it????????? you can shut your mouth now. I dont need to buy them anywhere cheaper, bc i still havent complained about the price.

whats the problem if I have all of those games????? That sounds pretty aimless and condescending......does your mother work at nintendo, is that why you are so offended by me DARING to complain about the product I have blown all this money on?

Your the one that said you were aimlessly bitching first off. You must have forgotten that.

I know you are complaining about selection and not price of VC games but do you even know how the VC games get selected? The process? It takes time son and its not Nintendo's fault they don't have YOUR favorite games available. It's up to the other companies to make those available like konami capcom and squaresoft, etc. Then it has to go through the ESRB. etc. etc. etc.

I didn't know you were easily insulted and i understand you are in a vulnerable state right now and emotional because of your lack of being patient for better VC games. It's the end of the world i know. I apologize

really? wow! you mean there is a process? I didnt know any of this.......I thought the games accidentaly released themselves every monday at exactly 12:00, like some kind of super AIDS.

So the reason they release SFII champion and then Turbo 2 months later, is because the ESRB was still making sure that there wasnt any foul language or nudity in Turbo? I can see how this all works now....thanks.......

"but Ive had my Wii for a year now, and there is not one game available that I would have put on a wish list when I bought the damned thing in '06. ok, I have Metroid, that would be one.."

If you're going to rant on without proof reading to make sure you sound like you know what you're talking about then I'm not going further than this sentence.

opitekk · 09-29-2007, 01:26 PM

LOL, nice catch
