Keep in mind, you wouldn't be able to get those on eBay at that price anyway, and you'd have to have a working version of the NES, SNES, and N64 consoles and working cartridges, which also have the risk of breaking down. It COULD be lower, but it's NOT that bad... $5 for Metroid is a meal lost for hours of play (well, not that many but still longer than the meal to begin with anyway). It's great for us who no longer have working versions of the console or who never got to play those games in their childhood.

I do understand that it's worthless for people who already own the games/consoles. Just warning you before you miss out on NeoGeo, Genesis, and other great stuff that's part of the VC.

Online play for fighters is kind of... meh, IMO. There must be absolutely NO LAG, especially for fighters with frame-based priority. One little lag spike, and i10 turns to i12 and that's BAD. But that's just my useless opinion, and I enjoy actually seeing the face of the person who's giving me a hard time. :P

Yeah , you have a point. Oh, I have my old system and games and some classic games on my GBA and cough cough computer. Not all, my nes and so on well, only nintendo console that keep messing up. 64 is gold and so on. Xboxlive arcadespoiled me with Street Fighter online and so on(lagevery once in while, close to none). To think, Playing Contra 3 with some creepy friend would of been awesome or streets of rage 2. Beating people to expand the street fighter empire! all can not be done sad sad day. Yeah, I rather only get the stand alone games, mostly single player gems.

not surprised. At all.

This just continues to confirm that the EU is treated like the neglected middle child of the family. Let the EU gamers get their chance to play!
