Whining Over Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console

People Just Can't Stop Complaining!

Last November Nintendo released their new video game console to much excitement and praise. The Nintendo Wii bolstered a new way of playing video games. Instead of using the normal controller scheme we all grew up with, Nintendo decided to break the mold and create a whole new way to game. The Wii Remote, shaped like, you guessed it, a remote, has motion and position sensing technology to put you more in the game more than ever before. Although some of the public was skeptical toward this new technology, it has still steadily risen in popularity since its release.

One extra feature in the Nintendo Wii is the Virtual Console. Through internet enabled menus, you can search through a list of classic video games from previous Nintendo and Sega consoles and purchase them. When you buy them, they are downloaded onto the Wii system and you can play them at your leisure. The games go as far back as the mid '80s NES days. If you like classic gaming, reliving your childhood once more, then check out the Virtual Console. Although this isn't the main function of the Nintendo Wii, it is a good addition to its content.

You could imagine that having all these classic games at your fingertips would be exciting and promising. Still, many people can't seem to stop complaining about it. It's hard to enter a gaming message board without being bombarded by complaints about the classic gaming services. Most complaints are about the quality of games available for download, and the prices of the games. I think that it's ridiculous to whine about this kind of stuff, which you'll soon learn why. It seems that the public is whining about all the wrong things.
