STOP IT!

all of these games r hard to find, not to mension the SNES!! Ebay would be the only place, better to get them for VC, makes the value of the Wii WAY higher when / if you go to sell it.

It wouldnt be totally out of this world for someone to own a PSP or Xbox as well as a wii.
Capcom collections sound nice.....SNK as well. Its too bad we have to go to other systems to get Nintendo games, because Nintendo is trying to make us buy Wally Bear and shit for $11 every week. I guess Ill buy an XBOX so I can play Bionic commando and my other favorite NES games...??????? .

What's the betting most people simply ignore these collections and continue to buy VC games at a much higher price per game? I like to do my homework before shelling out almost £5 just for one Mega Drive / SNES game.
