I don't need to be "hyped up" to buy a classic game.

You didn't listen to what I said. Gamers know there is a finite number of great games. Nobody complained before the virtual console came out that there were no more great games for the NES or SNES because those systems are dead. Which is why I said it's impossible to complain once all the games are out because that's all there is.

So either make no sales now with the crappy games (as is quite evident with the VC sales chart) or make no sales later. The good, well-known games sell. The others don't.

No, you're the guy that thinks since he's such a "presence" on the message board that you're the final word when it comes to topics like this. You'd like to be a mod since you have so much free time, but despite all of your private messages to the admins, you're stuck being a "volunteer sheriff's deputy."

Trust me, I'm not bothered at all by the fact that you spend a majority of your time online. Although you'd save a lot of money on canisters of compressed air if you ate your Arby's apple pies away from your keyboard once in a while. Just a suggestion.

Hype, excitement, eager...whatever it is that explains your want for Yoshi's Island.

I'm just saying that spreading out the games helps, like give them Ocarina of time every one is happy then a little bit after, give them another classic.

People of cause are going for games they know or are familiar with. Like everyone knows Mario. Of cause the games will sell lots when there is only them...having all together will mean people might not afford some but limiting them out lets people be okay with it all financially and have experience after experience rather than just stuffing it all together. Also there is of cause problems with licensing.

No, my word isn't final. I appreciated reading everyone's responses.

Then why bring it up if you're not bothered.

On the virtual console. It doesn't give numbers, just an order.

I think what people are overlooking is the massive amount of average games. What's galling about the constant releases of lousy games isn't the fact that we're missing out on great games, but we're also missing out on average, pretty good, and good games. They easilly could release decent playably fun games each week and a great one every once in a while, but a few releases have just been utterly unplayable games. Is there really a single person in the world who enjoyed Urban Champion?

What i've always wondered is why Nintendo didn't use the Everybody Votes channel as more of a tool to get feedback on VC. I think that would be a smart business move for them and an easy way to get customer feedback within parameters they outline.

They can't really have polls because like the reply of the e-mail said it's not only the consumer opinion that effect their decision.

As for the releasing go I think it's a better idea to spread them out evenly. If people check frequently there might be a game that they like but have forgotten, maybe, and would get it. Also if they check frequently they might stumble across a game they like that they've haven't tried before. This won't be happening so much if they just release every good game. People would say "that's VC lifespan" and will never check again. It's a good business decision I think.

I haven' really download much VC games myself, only SMB2 and LoZT, I don't even have time to finish the two yet x_x

Polls could easilly work, because it'd be under there set parameters. IE have us choose between games they have the rights/licenses too, or even something simple like, Would you like to see More: Side Scrollers, Puzzle Games, Sports, Etc. Or How much would you be willing to pay for X game with X...

Yes, they should definitely have pools. I haven't been for a swim in a long time. Heated, though. It's kind of chilly out.

Oh, and I think polls would be a good idea as well.

It will be awesome!!! It's based off the PS2 game which in itself was great, but I think they are bumping the graphics up adding content and making the gameplay rock with the wii-mote.

It's the perfect game for the Wiimote.

I think it will be a good indicator what could be done with a Castlevania game on Wii.
