Thats it! It is time to get a Wii ----- C=64 games Come to Wii !!!!

[skurk]

Hell, I own several C64's and I'm looking forward to this.  Playing games in VICE or whatever just doesn't give the right "feeling", if you know what I mean.  I do believe the Wii will provide just that.

C64 games was in fact the reason I bought the Wii in the first place.

Because of what I just said

What do you think runs the C64 games on the Wii? Yup thats right!

Well, d'uh.  I never said the Wii runs the C64 games natively.  I said the Wii has got the FEELING, which the desktop computer emulators (for example VICE, just to pick one) don't have.  In my opinion.  You are free to feel different.

You freak. You could have got a C64 DTV for £5!

Why, I HAVE a C64 DTV.  And a real C64, and a C128.  And more to come.

Why not stick to the real C64, for the real look and feel? :-)

That's what I do (plus a x1541 cable that is)

Oh, I do that occasionally, too.  C64+MMC64 does the trick most of the time.

That said, I find it easier to ask the missus to join me in a game on the Wii in the living room, instead of dragging her into the cold, dark hobby room where the rest of my stuff is located.

I love the fact that it's on a console.  You can't just alt-tab and check your mail, you're "locked" there for a while - keeps you focused on the game.  I don't know how many times I've finished Super Mario Bros (NES) on the Wii lately - maybe 9 or 10 times the past month.  Far more than I would in any emulator on a PC anyway.

Right so let me get this right

1- People with real C64's want to get a Wii so they can pay to emulate the C64 on it.

Well, if you put it that way - yeah.  Not to EXCLUSIVLY for C64 games, of course.

2- People want to get the Wii to pay to download C64 games when other systems (PC,PS3,Amiga,Xbox(not the 360),Dreamcast,GP2x,Various Mobile Phones) have free emulators available and the games are free.

You're basically rephrasing your first argument, but yeah, the answer is still yes.

3- People want to pay over £100 to get the wii to pay to download C64 games when they could spend up to £50  and get a MMCReplay or some kind of cable download C64 games for free and transfer them to a real C64 (which you can get for as little as £5)

That's your first argument once again, again with a little different wording.  But yes, for the third time, YES.

Dude.

Do you think it's a "rip off" to play NES, SNES and N64 games on the Wii, too?  Because last time I checked, all three consoles can be purchased on eBay for a price lower than the Wii.

And, hell, why bother buying them at all when you can download the games "for free" and play them on your PC.  Who needs a joypad when you have your ol' faithful keyboard!

Listen, the Wii isn't *THAT* expensive.  It's (from what I know) the cheapest popular console on the market at the moment.  I bet most of you spend £150 on a new pair of pants or an upgraded video card for your PC, without the blink of an eye.

Playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii gives me that "console feeling" I've been looking for, since I don't own a NES.  I've played SMB in PC emulators too, but as I said earlier, playing on the PC just doesn't "cut it" for me.  I have no idea why.

I'm not made of money, in fact I'm on a tight budget every now and then.  I'm not stupid either, I'm just a die-hard C64 fan that wants one of his favorite computers everywhere.  

C64 on the Wii?  Yes puh-lease!

If you want a Wii just to play C64 games think is this really the best solution?

Sigh.  When are you going to read my posts?  I specifically said "Not to EXCLUSIVLY for C64 games, of course."

[skurk]

@leirbag28: you took the words out of my mouth.  Thanks, mate.

Why do you think that a Wii will give you the same experience as a C64.

Why?  I've must have said it a dozen times now: It's inexplainable.  Just doesn't feel right.  If I could explain it, I would've said it many posts ago.

And hey, I also said I'm not stupid.  Yes of course I'm aware there are other platforms to choose from.  Yes of course I'm aware that C64 can be played for free on the PC.

Look, I've written a few emulators from scratch, I know what I'm talking about.

If you dont understand why getting excited about paying for things you can get for free is strange then hey? Its your money

Yeah, but *somehow* it seems to be your problem...

Anyway, this is like talking about religion, it cannot be proved either way.  I don't bother discussing this any further.

So you didnt answer my question and you didnt really understand.

I know I said I'm done discussing this, but I guess one final post can't make it any worse.

All you can do is enjoy the games that they allow you to play.

And?  Your point being?  So now you're not just mocking C64 on Wii, you're actually attacking the entire Virtual Console concept!  Keep in mind that the only games from NES, SNES, N64 and whatnot are games seleted by Nintendo.  I guess you find that just as outrageous as well?  Because if it isn't, then what the hell is the difference?

Theres thousands of games for the C64 and so far you can play most of them on PS3 PS2 Amiga GP2X Dreamcast and XBox through your TV with a joystick. and Keyboard(GP2x not inc.)

Of course I am aware there are thousands of games available for the C64.  I have tons of them already.  But why do you assume that I will ONLY play games on the Wii, despite the fact that I own a REAL C64, REAL C128 and run emulators on almost every platform I own?  Stop drawing your own conclusions based on ridicilous assumptions.  I feel you're treating me like an idiot, and I sure as hell don't appriciate it.

I have no problem with what you spend your money on I just have a problem with you telling me the Wii is the best way to get the C64 experience and dont deny you said it.  :lol:

I said that *I* will probably get the best feeling playing C64 games on Wii.  But I don't know that for sure yet, but I'm really looking forward to it.

If you don't believe me, see this post - and I quote: "I said the Wii has got the FEELING, which the desktop computer emulators (for example VICE, just to pick one) don't have. In my opinion. You are free to feel different."

...and...

this post, where I said "Playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii gives me that "console feeling" I've been looking for..."

I don't know what you've been smoking, but you should stop it.  It doesn't seem too good for you.

I'm through discussing this.  I don't have to defend myself for my "console preferences".  I'm not replying to a single more post in this thread.

And since you only seem to skim through my posts, I'll make it easy for you by repeating it once more, this time highlighted:

Damn it.
