I don't understand why people even post stuff like this if they don't care. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. |

The only problem I have with it is that it's not exactly difficult to port anything over to the eShop at all. I wouldn't be surprised if their entire job is a copy-paste of a single file, then setting a few fields like Description, Name, Price, etc. Now I don't expect them to release the entire library in one day, however, I do think weekly updates should be more than a game or two. NES Punch-Out as the only update for the week? You're kidding, right? Not only has everyone and their grandmother played that game because of various popular culture references through an emulator...but isn't it already on the Wii VC? They don't even need to copy a file, just a freaking game listing from the Wii VC and put it on the eShop. You gotta be kidding me. How much less work can you ask for, and still make money off of it? I would say that weekly updates should be, at a minimum, 10 games. It's not like there's a shortage of games. The NES had thousands of games. As did the GB, GBC, GBA, GG, etc. If they released 10 games a week, they would have probably 5 years of releases before the entire library is out. And that's not even a bad thing. That just means that when someone wants a game on the VC...they can get it. How is more money a bad thing for Nintendo? Their logic behind this is baffling. People have impulses to play games all the time. I know if a game I want to play isn't on the VC, and I actually had the intention of buying it...I would just go to the next best option...an emulator. I'm not going to sit around for possibly years (at this rate) for a game that may or may not ever be released at all. Nintendo is basically wasting money with this slow release plan. |

Kachou on!

Yeah, Punch-Out was the only 3DS VC game for North America this week. The original 3DS download catergory, DSiWare and Wii VC only got 1 game as well: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/03/nintendo_download_8th_march_2012_north_america And Europe getting Mega Man X on the Wii VC 11 months after North America got it... So screwed up. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/03/nintendo_download_8th_march_2012_europe |

I have reason to be annoyed again. It's been three or four weeks now since a Virtual Console release on the eShop. ![]() As far as I know, every single week there's a VC and WW release on the Nintendo Channel. I don't understand why the eShop is a mess. |

I was talking about that earlier... The eShop has had some very disappointing releases for a long time now. Game Gear games don't last long and while I haven't gotten to Kid Icarus 3D classic yet (kinda saving it for later), I want some GBA games already. |
