Quote:Well there's one major snag. I already HAVE the original system and controller for a lot of those systems (not Master System or Neo Geo mind you), but I don't want a "totally authentic experience", I'm using Wii's "virtual console" to play all the games on one sleek router sized system with a single comfortable controller, saving space and money. If I wanted the original controller, I'd get the original system too for consistancy.
A good point, but there are still some issues -- while the N64 and Genesis both have six face buttons, I wouldn't want to play one on the other... the N64's small C buttons are maybe not as good as main action buttons as fullsize ones, while the Genesis' lower-three-large upper-three-small layout works differently... each is good at what it does and can't quite do the other. Same for Genesis and SNES, really... I know that you can get an approximation, and a six face button controller with shoulder could stand in for a SNES pad, but... especially for N64, as I've said before... the N64 has a unique controller, and playing those games on anything else just doesn't work nearly as well!
