Thanks for the post. I need all the help I can get with keeping up with all the VC releases.

This, and my WiiWare thread are both pretty simple: If anything, all I have to do is just post any updates I happen across. :)

I was pretty late this week[:o], but this and my WiiWare thread serve a different purpose outside of the VC/WiiWare news posts.

My problem with the VC...is that I could play the games they have listed there for the most part on the original hardware. I still own my NES, SNES, N64....Genesis. I love my Wii, but XBL does stuff like: Xbox Originals, and Arcade titles.

Nintendo should follow suit. But, again, you'd have to get through their mile high wall of money and naked ladies to tell them. :)

Nintendo should follow suit.
They did follow suit, with WiiWare. Its Defense Force Thread is here (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=400).

XBLA is filled with terrible ports of console and arcade games, so I am unable to comprehend your point. Also, Xbox Originals are riddled with glitches and quirks that were unseen in the original releases. Nintendo's got a better set of digital download initiatives than Microsoft, but that doesn't mean that they are promoted as well as Microsoft promotes XBLA.

I hope that both of these are released for the VC, because I never owned either of them.
