I would love to see more stuff on virtual console like options too. The games that I like are RPGs and they have always been the most expensive games. Magic Knight Rayearth, DW 4, Crusaders of Centy, Final fantasy 3, Earthbound, Golden Axe Warrior, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden II, etc are all among some of the most expensive games of their respective consoles. If there were other options (besides emulation) of getting them people like me could actually play them the way its wanted. As it sits now, some of these games Ill never get to play cause the price is too far beyond my grasp.

disgaeniac:
I really wonder how much digital releases of games will affect the going rate that the physical games sell for.

I'm curious because, judging by most of the rarer PS1 games that are now available for download from the PSN...they *don't* seem to have significantly lowered the prices that their physical counter-parts are currently going for - and some of them have been available for several years now.

YES, I definitely agree that these digital versions are wonderful for those gamers that simply want the opportunity to play & experience the games themselves...*BUT* (IMHO), I don't really see digital releases lowering the prices of what rare & (now) valuable/sought-after games sell for.

Then again, I could be entirely wrong here, too 8)

I dont think its going to change the price much either ... some people still want physical copies of stuff. My PS1 collection will always be physical copies ... but my SNES collection is now 100% Virtual console. I bought the games I wanted for $6 each on there. Spent $36. I took the physical SNES and games (which didnt even have all the stuff I got on VC) and got about $60 in trade on it. Was a win-win for me.

I just wish they would expand their library. A lot of the games I previously mentioned will almost certainly never see some sort of downloadable copy.

Did the price of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III not drop when it was released on Virtual Console? Those used to be two of the highest priced SNES games. They were up there with Earthbound. Now, Chrono Trigger is about $60 and FFIII is less than $40. That is what I'm basing my theory on. It's not real hard facts, just a hunch.

scott:
Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy vi both have handheld rereleases too. Earthbound has yet to see either of those.
