Yeah, the yellow ones kinda turm me off from them. Luckily, I see lots that are still grey.

Why not just get a Wii and VC?

Also, the SNES is awesome. My first game, DKC was on it. And so was my first Zelda, LttP!

Because an NES is so much cheaper. Plus nostalgia.

I mean, I wouldn't get rid of my SNES, but why not just kill two birds with one stone and get a Wii?

Wii = $250

SNES = $20.00

Each SNES game cartridge = $4-8

Each SNES rom on wii = $8

Nostalgic memories and frustration = priceless.

Zoratunic

I already have a wii, but I'd much rather play the actual game on the real system. Besides, it will probably cost less to get the actual system than pay for each individual game. And, VC doesn't have every game.

Bboy94

But then you have to buy the system and the game.

Zoratunic

Well, each SNES game on the VC is 800 points, am I right? That's equal to $8. Most of the things on ebay not only cost less than $20, they usually come with a few games too. And some people sell like 20 games at a time for a low price.

Plus, games are more fun on their original consoles. Or rather, that's what I find.

Twilight Wolf

Those are just some of the reasons I decided to get an NES rather then mess around with the Wii shop channel.

Anyways, White Mage, I wish you luck on finding a good system. Don't be afraid to be picky, either. It's much better to do that than to get something you're not quite happy with.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Zoratunic

Well, never mind. My parents just epically shot down my propasal to buy a SNES. They say I have too many vieo game systems. Maybe when I get rid of my Gamecube they'll reconsider...

Twilight Wolf

That's crazy! I think that if you're willing to spend your own money, you should be allowed to, especially if it's something you take an interest in. You should have a serious talk with your parents about this.

 :P Is that how it works for you? Man, if that was the case....

Twilight Wolf

What, was that directed at me?

Oh well... You could always buy a Classic controller and you know...
