Virtual Console or Real Console ?

What do you think about gettin old games via virtual console, or get the originals for a little more money ? i live in mexico, i own the snes, nintendo 64, gamecube and the wii... ive' downloaded some old games from the nes, snes and genesis.. but for the other hand, i have like 8 games of snes, and 10 games of the 64... all of my nintendo sytems work fine, in fact i change the joystick of the 64 control for a new one, and revived my old system..
my point is, is it better to have it all in the wii, or should i spend 20 or 30 dls for snes games that i want, in their original plattform ?

ideas, toughts and everything else are welcome
Virtual Console or Real Console ?
I prefer real console. It has a better feel to it when I am playing the games.Virtual console makes me want a Turbografx though.Virtual Console or Real Console ?

i know what you are saying, because i love the old nostalgic feel that the snes, 64 have... the only two systems i would buy is the nes, sega and turbografx... but.. for example i dont know what to decide.. my tv only have one component.. and i havce tu unplugged the audio/video, for the snes, 64, and wii, and that is like ooh whats on ? the wii.. lets play it.. kind of lazy i know
but for example if i had games like donkey kong country, in the wii i would play more that games.. and the real carttridges only for nostalgia or collection i guess..
besides the expensive devices to have video 1, 2, 3, 4, etc, there's no other kind of switch to have all my systems plugged on ?
Personally, I would go for the Virtual Console. The fact is, that it's convienent. Your games are stored on a card that is not much larger than the size of a stamp and you have it all on one console.
well since i dont have the nes snes and 64 anymore i would say the virtual console
I'll go with the VC because I actualy won alot of games on there that I didn't have in real life and it is very conveniant
Vc
Real console. The virtual console isn't worthit - convinent but If i could be bothered I'd buy the console.
You have all those consoles hooked up to one t.v.? That must take up a lot of space! And do you have to unplug and plug cables every time you want to play a different console? That just sounds insanely inconvenient. I'd go VC.
VC just cause some of my SNES games dont like to save
Well, if it weren't for the virtual console, I would have never played Super Metroid. I think Real Console may be better since you get to use the original controller, but VC is fine by me. Now, when can I expect Contra Hard Corps. for the Sega Genesis, my Sega doesn't work anymore and I don't know where the cartridge is. :(
Real console is nicer, but it's a pain.
Well, since I would have to track down an NES, SNES, and N64, I prefer Virtual Console.But I wish they were all immediatally available, because I hate waiting.
[QUOTE=''GAMERILEY'']I prefer real console. It has a better feel to it when I am playing the games.Virtual console makes me want a Turbografx though.[/QUOTE]Same for me :D I also get my original console games for cheaper than they are on VC with the exception of rare games.Also its bad to have all those games on there and then one day you lose your wii or power surge and it erases everything.I have never heard of Turbografx before VC so thats the only games im thinking about getting since i have all other systems and over 30 games for each.
I prefere real consoles and game. You get artwork etc., and its neat. But in Europe we get games that were never released, so we got SMBLL and mario picross which is what the Wii is for. Also we havent got a turbografix in PAL territory, so its good to play it on the Wii's VC.
both have their faults,. i actually like both ,ill start by explaining why its good or bad to use a consolegood, your already familiar with consoles controller, you already own it , no need to dl anything good for collectionsthe bad part , hooking and unhooking of multiple consoles cartridges can wear out, (ive went through 10 copies of goldeneye 4 of pd 2 turoks , etc ) the cost of a cartridge can cost over what the vc costs for the same game ex, all n64s on vc so far have been 10 $ super mario 64 at a store would cost me no more then 20$ that is 10 $ more some times i can get a good deal but like i said some times its more expensive especally for titles like goldeneye or perfectdark and its also harder now to find anything if your not into auction sites like ebaythe virtual consolegoods.. well never break . good prices sometimesbetter then retail , samegamejust different format , noneeds to unhook and hook up multiple consoles and good for those whocant find theold systemsespecally tg16those are rare as heck , the bads, the download times suck for n64 games ,unfamiliar with the controller at first, no valuemeaning you wont get no $ for selling the wiivc games hence the impossibility , and thats pretty much it , they both tome are great, id also like to add that some games have not been released like goldeneye
For the most part, I lean towards real console. I like breaking out my NES, SNES, and N64 to play my old games. But I also like the convenience of the VC. As a college student, I have a limited number of items to bring to school with me. With the Wii and VC, I can play 20+ years of games in one small housing unit. I especially like not having to worry about whether or not my game saves will have been dropped by an old battery or if the cartridge will turn on after all those years of use.
thanks for all the answers..
well if i choose to still use all of my systems.. where can i get a device with a lot of inputs, to have like video 1, 2, 3, 4, if my tv is only one component ?
My first blog explains why I am getting all the old games. I'm thankful for the virtual console.
I'll always say real console for a few reasons.1. I've got a TV that has oodles of inputs on it so I can hook up like over a half-dozen consoles on it and put them in a rack.2. I'm a collector and I like having all the original boxes, manuals, discs, catridges etc.3. I'm a bigtime SEGA fan and no Wii controller is well suited for SEGA games. The old school controller is modeled after the nintendo controller (for obvious reasons of course) and I'd just rather play on a 3 or 6 button Genesis controller.4. Unless you're talking rare games, the hard copies of games are a lot of times cheaper than they are in the VC, at least in my area of classic gaming...I've not done much research on resell value of ninty stuff.To answer your question about a source selector, I've got one by Psyclone model# PSC01.
