This feature is rapidly becoming my favorite aspect of the Wii. This past week I picked up Axelay which was an SNES game from 1992. I remember renting it when I was a kid and being blown away by it but at the same time quite frustrated because it had a pretty steep difficulty curve. I beat the game today which was quite rewarding. The graphics are still pure eye candy. In fact I think I enjoy looking at some of these old 16-bit games with Mode 7 graphics more than some of today's high end 3D titles. I'm not sure what it is but the game's effects are just nice to look at. It's not all nostalgia either, it's just aesthetically pleasing. Next I want to delve into some more of the Neo-Geo titles they've got up there. That was one system I never acquired because the games were $200 a piece so even if I got the system I would only have ever had 1 game for it as a kid :9 Now the games are 9 bucks on the Virtual Console and they are still impressive. I guess I'm just a 16-bit era fanboy!
