The alternative to VC downloads I (and others)attempt to save you some money

Cool list.

The only reason I use the VC are for Nintendo games.

I've got a couple of those compilations.. .. .. Taito legends 1 (Bubble Bobble) and Midway Treasures 1 (Smash TV).. .. ..

Much better value than the VC (although I WISH Nintendo would release this kind of disc for the Wii) so if you have the relevant machine then it's well worth the purchase price.

Another great Darkprinny thread!

All of those collection disks do seem nice, but for some reason I still like the VC better. Even if it does get pricy, its just a lot more convienent to have every single classic game you enjoy right in front of you when you turn on your Wii.

You're saying you're too lazy to simply stick a disc into a console?

**DPrinny** · 02-26-2008, 04:58 AM

Or just turn it on if the disc is allready in

2muchVCs · 02-27-2008, 11:45 AM

Yeeh. :P I guess I am a little lazy.
But I didn't mean that the way it sounds. I just mean that someone isn't going to go out and buy a system just for a few games. I think the hardcore classic fans that have a Wii are still going to buy the classics on their VC.
( Unless of course someone already has the system they need. )

But besides the comments that i'm lazy, back on topic.

I still agree that this is a cool thread. It's neat for someone to give information like that to save some money on the classics. Awesome.

Sigh. if someone had told me this would come out on the 360, I could have waited a few more years instead of buying the PS2 collection. But instead I'm stuck with Ecco Jr. instead of Shining Force 2.

Oh well, if you didn't get the Mega Drive Collection then you should definitely get this. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is by far the best retro game collection ever made.
