Why would putting Zelda: OoT be a bad thing for the Wii? I didn't even have a gamecube, and when I had an n64 i didn't buy it, so ive played it for the first time on the Wii, and its great. As for spending money... its only about 10 bucks which is nothing.

And there are still going to be alot of games which will be released in the future... so its likley that 5 years from now VC games will still be released.

The only reason I didn't purchase OoT was because I was too impatient and was lucky enough to snag an original copy and an N64 a few months ago. I never had an N64 before then, I had a PS1. I would have downloaded SM64 if I didn't purchase it on the DS, but for a person who didn't, then they can and should. I hardly remember SMW so I downloaded it.

Not everyone had an N64. In fact, most people didn't. It's sales were pathetic in comparison to the Playstation. You might have had an N64, but others did not. The N64 sales were around 30 million worldwide, the Playstation had well over 100 million. I was just one of those people who had one. NES and SNES classics are, well, classics. I don't have my old NES or SNES anymore and I grew up with games like Super Mario and Donkey Kong. I downloaded them, best seller or not. I don't have them anymore and haven't played them for years, I want to re-experience them.

By the way, OoT Master Quest for the GC was never a widespread title. You had to have pre-ordered WW to get it. They are limited and you can't buy them in most stores. It was a limited time deal.

You don't have to have a N64 to play those games. You can play all of the Mario games on a Nintendo DS already, and if you don't already have OOT in some form, chances are somebody you know does and would be more than willing to let you give it a try. Whether or not you've played these games before on their original systems is not the point here. I would like to see the Virtual Console used as a tool to be able to play games that you otherwise couldn't. These big titles that have been released lately are all widely available and played, and it seems like a waste to add them to yet another system.

I played OoT for about 5 minutes when I was 8 and never played it again so I`m kind of glad that it was on the VC. Yes you can purchase these same games for other system but playing them doesn`t feel the same. I`d rather play the original with all of its flaws. The Masterquest disc wasn`t sold in stores and the only way you could buy it was by pre-ordering WW.

Plus having these games on the VC introduces these classics to young gamers without a DS or Gamecube which is actually quite a lot. Nintendo shouldn`t really care anyway (glad they do). They`ve made over $1.5 million just on VC game sales.

It's good that there releasing it on the virtual cpnsule because it's a classic. Anyway when my friend bought mario kart double dash it came with master quest

I agree that the VC is a great release... the Wii is the first console that I have had Since the Snes back in the day, so I get a chance to play all the games I missed for that reason
