DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I remember finally getting a Wii when they were hard to obtain, excitedly downloading River City Ransom and Super C on my console and thinking it was neat, even though I had been emulating games on my PC forever.

Then the Twilight Princess hack came out and I never got any more VC games for the most part. Still really cool that Rondo of Blood came out on the system, along with a bunch of other obscure stuff. Konami should put the Rebirth games back on Switch.

VC was insanely cool, especially the Turbo Grafx retro treasures which often get forgotten. I really hope Switch gets that level of content.

e: I had some wii points still so I downloaded ogre battle 64 last night and contemplated the passage of time

Virtual Console was great. Gunstar Heroes and Sin & Punishment are still two of my favorite games and I’m not sure I would’ve ever gotten into them without it. I was already pretty hooked on SNES games as a kid but VC really stoked my interest in retro games as a whole.

Yeah, it was cool to see the games I was poorly emulating on my toaster laptop actually working properly and something I could buy for like 5 bucks. VC was where I first played Super Metroid and Secret of Mana

I remember really enjoying sin and punishment but the story was incomprehensible.

Yeah, it had some great nonsense English and the plot just seemed like several animes thrown into a blender. I just remember the cool sets and that the bad guys were an army of Ruffians led by a guy named Brad

Sin and Punishment is the first game I ever 1CC'd I think

you only have to pay the 20 dollars just once for ALL ACCESS!!

but all you get is Yoshi's cookie, the Game Genie version of original Legend of Zelda, the chance to play In Training in Splatoon 2 because he's the only one playing it, and the opportunity to grief Wormskull by playing him a single time in Smash Brothers and then quitting.
