Weekly Poll: Virtual Comeback
April 23, 2007
I was surprised that there's such an even mix of retro and recent gaming going on out there. I expected the numbers to be a little more skewed. Instead they nearly all fall right into line together. Fascinating. As for me, I spend more time playing new games these days mostly because I have to spend a lot of my gaming hours reviewing the latest thing, but in my spare time I usually reach back to the Super NES generation of gaming. Well, that and some of the TurboGrafx-16 games I missed out on back in the day. Thank you, Nintendo, for the Virtual Console!
Speaking of the Virtual Console, word came down last week that NEC is poised to start releasing Neo-Geo games for the service. With another classic console under its belt, the Virtual Console is growing stronger. There are still a bunch of beloved older systems not featured on the service, however, which leads me to ask this question: which older console do you most want to see on the Virtual Console? Cast your vote, leave some comments, and spread the retro gaming love.
