Like I said, I played it on SMS, but still bought and played the other versions as well. The VC version is no different.
Oh it's quite different. The other versions weren't the same exact ROM. This is the same exact game as the TG-16 version, not programmed specifically for the Wii. That's like downloading TG-16 ROMs on a PC to "try out the PC version of the game". Your logic fails, but due to the comparisons that you'll be doing, I will forgive it.
Well, I still feel great about my recent purchases of Sega Genesis Collection, Taito Classic 2 and Capcom Classics Collection Vol 2.
I don't see much difference between a VC version of a Turbo game and the PCE version. Is it pointless to buy imports and domestic versions?
With a ROM on a PC, you don't get the integrated VC game manuals. And I personally can't play games at a computer. The closest I come is using my Mame cabinet, which I rarely do.
You can't play real Turbo/PCE systems on many HD TV's. The VC games are worth it just to be able to play Turbo games in my living room in 480p on my LCD.
On VC, I can play games with wireless controls that actually work, unlike my infra red wireless PCE pads that are only good for RPG's.
Although save states are on PC emulators as well, it's still one more worthwhile feature VC games add to the original.
VC games, even in composite, look bright and vibrant. Not everyone has a video modded Turbo/PCE system.
And whether or not you consider the VC games programmed specifically for the Wii, the difference between the VC Turbo games and real Turbo games isn't far off of close ports between 16-bit consoles.
And in the case of at least Bomberman '93, it's not the exact ROM. It's been updated, for better or for worse.
Although I still think that they're overpriced in general, VC games still offer a lot over both Turbochips and computer ROMs.
No no I meant why pay for ROMS, not actual games. I personally hate playing ROMS, I always buy the actual thing unless its something you have to play in ROM form (like english translated RPGs). ROMS have no value and I would never pay for a bare bones emulated ROM since they are so freely available. Even those overpriced NES Classics GBA releases were a better deal since at least you got something physical for the money (and Castlevania even had a save battery which made it at least somewhat worth it).
Owning a big game collection is fine, actual games are physical and have monetary value, hell you could probably sell your PCE collection and even make money off it, so its definitely not throwing your money away.
Do you think it's pointless to rent games? Because for the price of a rental you get to keep a VC Turbo game for good. Xbox Live charges for video clips and now sells temporary video files. Lots of people use pay per view in their homes. What's wrong with a permanent Turbo game on your Wii?
Remember that although you can find ROMs for free, it's only because someone copied them. Like a burned DVD movie. Carts are only a container, what you're paying for is the game.
I think that I could also sell a Wii loaded with VC games for more than one without any.
