Its a secret to everybody.

You know what would be awesome? If there was a company that bought the rights to games that are no longer in-print then re-printed those games. It would be even better if the reprints were indistinguishable and complete. Like, for example, Phoenix Wright on the DS.

Man, that would be AWESOME!

Too bad no one's doing that.

Aww, come on, people. Rare, hard-to-find games at close to retail prices? I thought you'd all be jumping for joy. I know I was when I found La Pucelle and Disgaea for $80

Well Stocky, as I was told they can only republish if the publisher allows.

My friend is super pissed because they JUST sold out of Disgaea (I will get my copy so I really don't care) :lol:

For those of us who are looking for a particular game and want eBay to be a last resort this site is nice.

Atlus (The U.S. Publisher) is notorious for doing VERY limited runs of their games.

I love Disgaea and La Pucelle and will SO get Disgaea 2 and I am hoping and praying for a La Pucelle 2.

I could sell my copy of Phoenix Wright, but then I wouldn't have a copy of Phoenix Wright.

OH, you mean the N64 version. Yeah, good luck getting that.

Oh, I did get the last copy of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe on PS2 in Sacramento for my sister's birthday so I just need her birthday to hurry up so I can give it to her.

That's my main reason for getting a Wii, I will be the only buyer of every N64 game ever made on the virtual console ._.a

If you can't tell, I <3 the N64

Ill-regardless of pricing I can guarantee I will spend more on virtual console games than I will on a Wii.

So how will Nintendo go about selling the ROMs or virtual console games for the Wii?

Will you be able to get it free if you provide proof of ownership of the original games?

Its supposed to be a flat rate per system. No official pricing as of yet, but most assume $5-10 max for N64 and maybe as low as 99 cents for NES.

As for ownership...I dunno. I think you have to pay no matter what.

Payment wise I imagine it'll work like Xbox Live Arcade.

It would be awesome, though if they added the ability to compete via "Time Trials" in the old games and online 2 player and co-op for games that offered those features. I doubt it, but if they did...

Was too good to resist showing ya. XD

Also, no clue if Nintendo will be smart enough to do the online co-op or not, but if they do then they'll be sure to make it work well, you can count on that much I'm sure. ^^

Online co-op tells me "more work!" something I don't think Nintendo is willing to do for those games :lol:

There's net-based co-op available in some emulators and it's truly ass.

The problem is that the games were initially designed to do multi-player locally on a single console so there's no possibility of lag. Toss the internet in the way and even a 50 MS ping completely destroys playability.

The only thing that would work at all without completely rewriting the game would be turn-based stuff.
