    I was lucky, I bought mine when the SNES was out. :P

     

    Before the hurricane I found Earthbound with it's box. I was happy. :D I still have it too!

     

    Which hurricane? It's been a quiet year so far...(cross fingers)

     

    Katrina. : /

     

    Yuck :| I'm in South Florida and have been through a few in the past three years, but nothing like that.

     

    Yeah, 8 feet of water in your house = sucks. :(

    It really depends on the user agreement and the portability of the roms.

     

    If Nintendo allows the roms to be freely transfered for eternity and doesn't reserve the right to control your internal storage, then it may be a good deal.

     

    If, however, Nintendo limits your rights to number of transfers or reserves the right to wipe your system, then it's not so great a deal.

     

    For example, let's say Nintendo lets you download the game three times from their server for one payment. This is pretty standard with most downloads of this nature. Let's say you delete it willingly the first time, since you can just get it back. Your little brother then deletes it, causing you to download it a third time. Then your internal memory dies and when you get it repaired or get a new system Nintendo says "Nope. You've already downloaded it three times. You gotta pay up again if you want it." Or let's just say your system dies. Your download is most likely keyed to your original console's serial number, and Nintendo will make you pay again.

     

    On the other hand, as long as you have that cartridge and can find original hardware, you're set. The cartridge doesn't have a preset limited number of uses, nor is it keyed to a specific console.

     

    From what I understand, once you buy it, it's yours forever. You just have to re-download it if your system dies, or something.

    NES games = $5

    SNES games = $8

    N64 games = $10

     

    Sounds like a crappy rip off to me.

     

    If the games were $1 each, I would buy 100 of my favorite games in a second.

    At these prices though, I would keep the old stuff.

     

    Though I disagree with this fellow, keep the old stuff. :)

     

    Anyway, I think the prices are fair. You have to consider that they have to re-program the controlls, etc, to make them work on the Wii. : /

     

    Besides, some games (Chrono Trigger!) would be a lot cheaper to buy on VC.

    I wouldnt, I had one erase on me, just get the wihite Gamecube memroy card. I've got over 50 games, and it holds all the saves, and I only used a tad over half of the space

     

    I can't really afford it. :( I mean I can, but when you add the controller, the memory card, and game up, it adds up to a lot!

     

    I could just wait for the Wii... But damn the urge to play is KILLING me. :(

    I've been trying to get it to work forever. I don't have any alcohol, but I've scrubbed the games with a q-tip as best as I can and all I get is a black screen. The power works just fine.

     

    Also having trouble with my NES... Stupid flickering screen... It was working a year ago!

     

    Anyway, any ideas?
