I think the PAL and US VC have virtually the same content? Wouldn't call it a heap of shit but I would've thought we'd have SNES and GBA games by now. Really disappointing.
Sorry, my gripe actually goes further than what we've discussed. Allow me to elaborate...
1) Years ago Nintendo stated all old games on the Wii network/ VC/ etc would be free... They're not.
2) Years later they have one Nintendo store for the Wii, Wii U, 3DS, there's still no cross platform capability, you have to buy games multiple times on each console (not to mention the 3ds is region locked but that's a rant for another time)... Lame
3) Now Nintendo has created a user ID for ALL their online stores which still has no cross-platform.... Heap of shit*
*So far the only saving grace of (3) is if you've downloaded something and your console breaks under warranty (or not) you don't have to rebuy the games/ wait for a Nintendo service centre to fix your console... Still a heap of shit.
This is coming from a hardcore Nintendo fan who bought literally every console (bar the Wii U and Virtual Boy) and a shit tonne of games.
I love them, but when it comes to online they need to get their shit together.. Freeman knows what I'm on about all too well.
