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!

Because I asked polightly for it to be stickyed and it hasnt been

Two new collections comin out some time
Both SNK realated


Looks like askin wont get it stickyed
Looks like the owners of the site dont want us to save money

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?

Or just turn it on if the disc is allready in

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.

Added one more collection
(See the last on the list)

You guys don't get the Megaman X collection? Weak...

I know
We dont get a few things

**List updated**
Fatal fury collections are win

Very nice list. I prefer playing games on the Virtual Console over the PS2 (which is where most of the compilations are easiest/cheapest to pick up here in the US), but there's definitely a lot of savings to be found with these collections. (Sega Genesis collection is an amazing deal; the Phantasty Star games alone more than justify the cost of admission.)

Op updated
The SNK arcade collection is out and its up there as one of the best collections

I'm thinking of getting the SNK Arcade Classics collection, but apparently it's plagued with slowdown and long loading times.
