Official Virtual Console Sales Thread

Post all your VC purchases here, and I will update the list daily.

picture5cq8.jpg


There is a thread running over at GAF, wherein everyone lists the games they have purchased on VC, making new posts with new purchases as necessary.

I'm talking with the author of that thread to create similar threads on other forums to create some sort of meta sales data. Totally grassroots, I know.

I will compile all the sales numbers, and update daily, if not more than that.

Of course, if you have posted in the aforementioned thread at GAF, please do not repost your numbers here for the sake of (marginal)accuracy.


I'll whip up a spreadsheet when and if this thing gets rolling a little bit.

As a bonus, here is the current status of the GAF sales:

    That is kinda cool. Bonk, huh? Interesting. They must've had a lot of recommendations over there or something, I haven't heard that response anywhere else.

    I didn't much care for the Bioshock review. It didn't deliver on the funnies like the previous reviews, but it wasn't bad.

    The ending was very weak, though. Usually his videos have good endings.

    Did you just review a review?

    I found reVerse's review to be too short and a little light on content and quality. Still, his punctuation and sentence structure was better than most.

    Why not just make a new wiki page like the DS has.

    http://padsgames.pbwiki.com/

    You could just multiply the numbers next to the games by the price of the game, plus it could let people know whats good.

    You could link it to the Wii wiki we have

    Actually, I can't. I'm getting Gunstar Heroes because I didn't have a Genesis. I still have my NES-N64 stuff. So you could be like me or you could be nostalgic for the Genesis you sold.

    I have so far resisted purchasing a VC game as Zelda and partying with Wii Sports has eaten up most of my time.

    However, if a few of those "not available in the US" teasing games WERE available, that might change..

    Why are the keeping them from us again?

    Nin-ten-spite, probably

    I've got Ice Hockey($ 5 )
    and Gunstar Heroes($ 8 )

    I'll probably buy Street Fighter II and Super Castlevania when they come out, and that might be sooner than later.

    That site can go fuck itself. Also, come the fuck on Kotaku, you know anyone who's got a broadband connection in their home along with a Nintendo Wii but doesn't also have a functional credit/debit card? Go fuck yourselves. Game journalism can go fuck itself.



    Anyways this thread is awesome, here's what I've got so far:

    Alien Crush ($6)
    Bomberman '93 ($6)
    Bonk's Adventure ($6)
    Gunstar Heroes ($8)
    Legend of Zelda ($5)
    Sim City ($8)
    Solomon's Key ($5)
    Super Star Soldier ($6)
    Victory Run ($6)
    Wario's Woods ($5)


    You know what's awesome? Having money saved up over the year to get Rayman and Red Steel at launch along with the Wii and then realizing I don't want either, so I have a big fat Virtual Console Fund.
