[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4440282, member: 807"] It's a lot of cooperative button mashing as you kill things for experience points to level up ;) You don't need to buy a virtual console as a separate item. But rather, the virtual console (VC) is what Wii calls its downloadable games from previous Nintendo systems. So you could download the original Super Mario Brothers, or Legend of Zelda or such. The games I mentioned (Shining Force I, Shining Force II, Phantasy Star IV)are all old-school nintendo/sega games that are available for download on the VC. Different games cost different points (essentially $1=100 points); the games mentioned are $5-6, if I recall correctly. You may need a classic controller for some of the games (since not all the VC games are compatible with the wiimote since they need other button combos); it says with the game what controller(s) works with it - look for the icons in the description. If you can get it real cheap, sure. If not, don't bother because the single player game has no real replay value. Also it was written for 3.0 rules, so if you're used to 3.5 or 4 then it may feel a little awkward to see terms you're used to being used differently. obvious disclaimer: all this is based on my own opinions and experiences. for instance, i don't like phastasy star iii therefore i didn't even mention it, but phantasy star iv is much improved and has the combo-action system that just gets me more excited than a man should be for a video game ;) [/QUOTE]
