Wii owners: bought any virtual console games yet?

[briangilmore]

I haven't gotten a wii yet, but am thinking about really stressing that I want it for xmas from all my friends, my parents, and then maybe pitching in some myself (i'm poor). This is what will decide if I get one or not, answer these q's for me please:

So I know you can download games onto the wii from old nintendo systems, but do they look and play exactly the same? Do you totally own them and play them and save on them as if you OWN an n64 or super nintendo? I need the following n64 games to be on here:
-ocarina of time
-mario kart 64
-bomber man 64
-goldeneye
-star fox64
and for original nintendo:
-mario


and i heard sonic in there...do they also have genesis games? Does the wiimote lend itself to N64 games can you get an n64 style wiimote for it? Does the wiimote vibrate? Are only n64 games 10 bucks each, or are other systems more/less expensive?

I'm sure all those games will be on there eventually. All the games play exactly the same. There is the classic controller which you can buy for 20 bucks which you can use for VC games and also for super smash bros brawl when it's released. Wiimote does vibrate.

NES - 5 bucks (500 points)
SNES - 800 points
N64 - 1000 points (only mario 64 for now)
Turbographix - 600 points
Genesis - 800 points

Duuude, thanks a lot Sevenduffs. Hey guys, any word on how long till we get more N64 games up in this shit? Cause if they reeeeeeaaallly expand their N64 library (and i can't beLIEVE they have turbografix...they might as well put dreamcast games on that shit...sega cd too...the wii would ****ing KILL), I'll definetely get one. But I've always wanted an N64 and never had one, sadly. And also want a wii pretty bad, so i figure two awesome birds, no, eagles, with one stone.

As for the controlling the n64 games, Nintendo does make the classic controller which plugs into the Wiimote or you can use a gamecube controller.

I also heard they are supposed to be releasing 4 or 5 new games on the virtual console each week.

awesome, thanks a lot guys. So lemme get this straight, the games download onto your wii itself or are they kind of online through the wifi? Would a lack of internet connection after you d/l the games cause you to not be able to play them?

I believe they go to the Wii and you can play them while it's disconnected, but I haven't bought one yet so someone else will have to test.

I've bought Super Mario 64 and Sonic... Both great. I use my Wavebird to control them, it works perfectly!
