Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Handy, but not always so easy Comment: This is very handy for getting Virtual Console and WiiWare games. I just find it annoying that this card comes in a case with instructions, when the only really important thing in this case is the card. Sure it is handy for games and DVD's that don't have a case, but you can't have them lying all over the place! There's not much else to say about the card, because that's all it's for. To get Virtual Console and/or WiiWare games. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Comment: I really like playing Wii games on this, the virtual console is neat. Here are the prices (there's some updated prices): Wii Channels (excluding internet channel) - 0 points NES - 500 points Commodore 64 (European exclusive) - 500 points SEGA Master System/Game Gear - 500 points Wii Internet Channel - 500 points Turbografx-16 - 600 points SNES - 800 Points* Sega Mega Drive/Genesis - 800 Points # NEOGEO - 900 Points # Nintendo 64 - 1000 points* WiiWare - 500-1,500 points *Incompatible with Wii Remote. All games can can use a classic controller, but it is essential for incompatible with Wii Remote ones. Most games can also use a Gamecube controller, but several Turbografx games cannot use it. # Some of the games on this console are compatible with the Wii Remote. So, get a Wii Remote, Classic Controller and Gamecube Controller to fully enjoy these games. All the current games on Virtual Console are great, so take your pick and enjoy. Customer Rating: Summary: Be careful where you buy them! Comment: Purchased two of these cards from Amazon.co.uk, supplied through indigostarfish.com, an amazon partner. Tried to upload them and found that they were the wrong region and so they could not be used. Technical support suggested buying locally and not from the internet if you want to be sure. Customer Rating: Summary: Its 50/50 for me Comment: I just bought the legend of zelda, and super mario bros 2 (never played that one) with my wii points and that is one thousand points gone already.Saying that they do look great. I have to say its a bit expensive, but these games are selling on ebay for like a tenner each. And if you fork out the £35 on ebay for a retro NES to play them on you have still payed more than you would have if you'd have just spent wii points, thats if the NES you bought even works. My advice would be, if you are into NES or any of the older console games then buy them through wii's points system. However if you want 64 games i really wouldnt bother, they are like £7 each. You can buy a 64 on ebay for about £10, then games are like £3 in second hand shops. Its up to you. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent. Comment: The thing is I know there's "ROMS" out there but to be fair I hate them, I don't mind them if others likes to play on these but I'd rather to play a "actual" game with a controller pad, or at least have a sense of feeling to "own" it. Virtual Console is excellent once you think about it - sure you can get some games for cheaper, but what about Paper Mario? That's rare, and you would have to fork over alot for that. However on VC it's only £7.50, and it's even perfect emulated (most ROMs for Paper Mario aren't perfect in my opinion). I would strongly recommend Virtual Console to every Wii owner, it's cheap than you'd think and it can be addicative. I've been playing Legend of Zelda: LTTP/Mario Kart 64 non-stop, and I'm loving it with Classic Controller. Worth it. More Reviews
