New Nintendo Wii Update: Voting System

[Eggman]

I pay for convenience and the fact that people had to be paid to work on the emulation. My SNES is an entire state away and whether or not the cartridges even still work is a mystery. My NES was rewired and cleaned so it works but I have no idea where it could be. My N64....I really don't feel like using those controllers anymore, especially since I can't go find new ones.

BUT HEY, I can pay a little money (about the price of a large fancy coffee drink or at the most, a meal at Perkins that I could really do without) and get my games to play whenever I want with a controller that works perfectly and enjoy them, even today.


ANYWAY, enough with the retarded looping arguments that happen every day.

The fact is, the Everybody Votes Channel is cute and could be really cool if they take our answers (19th Century or 22nd Century) and then, based on those answers, send people a free theme for their Wii or something. Or if they ask questions about which VC titles we'd like to see first or which features/channels should be worked on.

The virtual console prices are high. I can't believe you guys actually pay 8 dollars a SNES title. 5 dollars for NES? I'd rather just go buy the actual game for that much. As far as i'm concerned, why in the hell am I going to pay for something I can download in a bittorent pack for free and get EXACTLY the same thing? In fact, its even better than the VC because I get to play them online with friends. Why do you guys even bother? You're paying for ROMS? Maybe If I could download packs for $4.95 of a couple games, yea sure. But 8 fucking dollars, nah.

invalid due to the fact that you're not forced to download anything off the virtual console and are welcome to play wii or gamecube games instead

also i swear to god, the next person to say "lol i pirate games" outside of the emulation thread gets infractabanned. i'm tired of having to repeat this.

try again

Free extras are still extras.

And when extras are on other machines they're lambasted, but when there's extras on Nintendo's machine here, it's "cute" and "fun".

I don't think I can make it simpler than that.

I post with good reason plenty of times. It's just that those times aren't when I say things that might be considered contraversial so nobody notices it when it happens.

ps: everything in life is useless bullshit that doesn't fucking matter

Everything on the PS3's side sucks at the moment. What's wrong on the 360 end?

MidReal, I will fight you. P.S., the browser's temporarily free. And we're all "beta testing" it for some reason.

They're lambasted because they make the overall cost of the hardware higher and are desirable to a comparatively limited portion of the population. You'll note that people tend to bitch about things like the Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 instead of the browser, because the former drives up the cost substantially while the latter adds little to nothing. If that's too complicated for you to grasp I can try using some pictures.

If you don't like it, keep it to yourself.

If everything in like is useless bullshit, then you won't be needing the privilege to post on these forums.

It's free for a good long while yet, though. June, I think?

The only difference is the Wii's "extras" drive up the cost of software instead of hardware. It’s more apparent with hardware. The cost is still there with the software end.

So I guess those willing to spend the money get screwed by everyone who loves the news and weather service, but don't use VC?

also i swear to god, the next person to say "lol i pirate games" outside of the emulation thread gets infractabanned. i'm tired of having to repeat this.

All hypothetical.

Even so, that’s like sticking your head in the sand. Emulations and piracy are an issue. So when "Steve the pirate" looks at VC and says "fuck that" how many more are going to do the same? Any fool can download a rom and emulator from some website and play. They need incentives for “Steve the pirate” to say, “Wow, I can’t do that on my PC” and spend that 8 dollars for a SNES title.

Featuritis, I believe that perfectly describes these Wii channels right now. Instead of paying in lost system resources, people are paying with their wallets. Would everyone rather have these random news and weather channels, or reasonably priced VC games?

Way to ignore my perfectly reasonable statements regarding VC prices.

Except this isn't what this thread is about anyway. And honestly, like MidReal, I'm very sick of seeing the same people post the same exact bullshit every single time something comes up like this.

Fine, You pay for convinence, some moral obligation to Nintendo's employees, and the fact you don't like the controllers the game was actually designed on.

Convenience: "Steve the pirate" can use his magical CD/flashdrive and have that same convinence anywhere there is a PC.

Moral: You sure got Steve beat there. He simply laughs at your weakness and sends his parrot after your ass.

Controller: There are controller adaptors for every possibility you could even think of. I have have an adaptor so I can use my PS2 controller on a Neo-Geo MVS, It cost 9.99 from some guy in Hong Kong.

I don't have Steve beat though. He has one that lets him use his microwave to play IIDX.

I thought all of these were pretty obvious so I chose to ignore it, and like you said, it wasn't really on topic.

Well, new random feature comes out for Wii, people love it, others just groan and wonder why. I said these types of features are precisely the reason why VC costs so much.

So... fine, I'll be done now. Go vote on the cutest anime character or something. Praise to Nintendo.

[Monster in a box]

The other channels have no effect on the price of the VC games. It's not like the people at Nintendo think "So, what should we do this month? Introduce a new channel, or lower the price of the VC games?".

Personally, I agree with you about the VC being a rip-off. However, it doesn't matter at all, because you don't have to use it. What is there was no VC at all? Would that be better?

[ZAEN]

So this thread has pretty much lost its' purpose.

[rmz]

Thanks for shitting up a perfectly good thread, fanboys.

For the record, dog$ (since I didn't get a chance to reply before this was locked), your entire first post is invalid because I don't bitch about additions for other consoles. I like them, too. I like extras. I like new things. I like pretty much every console that's out there for their own individual reasons, and I don't hold myself to loyalty towards one more than any others.

What's that? The sound of your overinflated ego-driven argument having the rug pulled out from under it.

Convenience: I turn my Wii on, and Point to Super Mario Brothers, and Push A twice, and I get Super Mario Brothers. If thats not convenient, tell me what is.

Moral: Damn right. I am in the Moral Right. "Steve the pirate" can kiss my ass.

Controller: Yeah, Sure there are controller adapters for "every system imaginable" but every single one of them introduces lag of an unacceptable amount. Have you ever tried to play a timing based game that DOESN'T have an timing adjustment on a PS2 Adapter? yeah somehow I didn't think so. Let me point out that on some adapters, simple things like Final Fantasy become impossible.

Ok. I hate PS3. More than a lot of people I know. Do I bitch constantly? Do I go into PS3 threads and shit them up? No. I keep my negative opinions to myself.

Who fucking cares about VC? If you don't like it, DON'T FUCKING BUY IT. It doesn't "drive up the cost" of the other channels, you still get the same amount of content and for free. Your supposed "extras" actually do affect the price of oh I don't know, the PS3? Fun polls and the ability to CHOOSE to purchase older emulated titles to play in a convenient manner? Sounds pretty optional to me.

In short, you're both faggots, and I'm going to be giving both of you infractions if someone hasn't already. Stop shitting up threads, stop flaming, and if you don't like something, don't post in a thread about it. Pretty damn simple if you ask me.
