<3 Virtual Console
Okay so yeah I'm a whore for Nintendo
But virtual console is pretty rad I think
Don't let the fact that I bought both Super Mario Bros and Mario 64 again overshadow this fact
And yeah I know I can get these games for free on the internet but there's just something about being able to play these games on a TV screen with a wireless controller that I love
My purchases include:
Super Mario Bros
Mario 64
Ice Hockey
Gunstar Heroes
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
I've never owned Ice Hockey or Gunstar Heroes, or so much as played Zelda until now
I guess the point of this thread is to make fun of me for (willingly!) spending money on things I can get easily for free

Many people, such as myself, only pirate when either the games, software, movies, etc when they are not easily avalible or when they are horribly overpriced and poor asses like myself can't afford them. Many companies just abandon their games with no reguard to the people who worked hard toward making the game and the people who loved playing the game.
It's very nice to see the classics coming back and I encourage everyone that can afford to do so to buy these classics to support their preservation.

There are no problems with PAL TVs. It's just that you get the ol' PAL versions of the games and that entails lower frame rate (50hz vs 60hz) and the famous black borders (a result of the lower hz).
Unless a game originally took the effort of fixing that you'll get the "gimped" version. Me personally, I don't give a shit.
Now, as for my Virtual Console purchases:
Super Mario Bros
Sonic The Hedgehog
Bomberman '93
F-Zero
SimCity
I'm really looking forward to A Link To The Past and Mario Kart 64.

One Virtual Console game that I recommend, if you've never tried it, is Sin and Punishment. It's a N64 rail shooter that was never released outside of Japan (despite being in English) and doesn't seem to work well in a PC emulator. The controls are a pain at first, but I was able to use scheme 3 successfully with the Classic Controller. There's one part of the game involving aircraft carriers that's just amazing.
Supposedly, Earthbound is also scheduled for Virtual Console release. And Ys I and II (the PC Engine version) will apparently be added tomorrow.

Do you have Twilight Princess?
Great never buy any VC game again except for N64 games since the wii n64 emulator sucks ass.
But you can pirate those too.

That homebrew stuff looks very interesting. I had heard that it exists, but I hadn't yet read anything about it. I have Twilight Princess for GameCube, though--I just got a Wii a couple weeks ago.
I don't mind buying the few VC games that interest me. I already have just about every NES, SNES, N64, and Turbo Grafx game that I like on their native consoles, and I hook those up when I really feel like playing through an old game again.
I did buy a couple games I already own, though--Air Zonk and Pokemon Puzzle League (the N64 sequel to Tetris Attack).
