Tellyn Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The problem is, when Nintendo start releasing original titles on the VC then all dicussions about them shouldn't be in the Retro board as they are brand new. I say create a VC board and then rename it once Nintendo give us details about how the Original Game download stuff will work to include discussion about VC games and the Original games. Edit: While we're at it, create sub boards for Xbox and PlayStation in the Other Consoles board, there's a nice little community there. Good point. I stick with the idea of a seperate board because retro does get some occassional peaks, and it's good for discussing past consoles and games. The Virtual Console board is different because it could also cater for Wii Channels and downloadable content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Playstation and Xbox subforums are a good idea. You aware the 'N' in N-Europe stands for Nintendo yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The less boards the better for the activety on each of those baords. So nay I say. I say nay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Well i'm not sure. That all you need to know about vc thread is a little ridulous. i wish the retro board was more popular though. I am a retro fanatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 You aware the 'N' in N-Europe stands for Nintendo yeah? Hey whoa sorry... not that I own any other consoles than Nintendo, I just notice that there are plenty of others here who do. Im more concerned with you resolving the VC Board matter, get rid of the Other Consoles bit all thegether for all I care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Pop up a new board, then put a "BETA" sign on it for arguamental immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 if a vc board is made knowone will go to the retro board i think you should re-name the retro board retro/vc [thesaurus]board[/thesaurus] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroScap Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I agree with gaggle. Everything is in one place. I can check on VC updates and stuff then press back and be on the main wii page for general stuff. If there was threads about the games released I can imagine one of two getting buried with a couple of views and no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I say start a new board. Renaming the Retro Gaming I think would be a big no no, as it means people wanting to talk other stuff will be find their threads swamped with all the individuals texts. But whereas with a VC Board we can easily have a thread for every new release that comes out to have it's own board, without it taking over too much, like it could in the retro thread, where people may want to discuss other old stuff that isn't on VC. And Tellyn's fab VC Thread should be stickied at the top as the fountain of all knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I voted to merge it with the retro board, it just makes sense to me. The only correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I think it should have its own board. There's a problem if the VC starts supporting new content from indie developers or whatever - that wouldn't be 'retro'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Give VC its own board, I think it's vast enough that it both needs and deserves one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I think it should be a sub forum on the Wii board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 VC as a sub-forum of the Wii forum makes the most sense. 1. The games are Wii games 2. Origional content will be released over VC in the future 3. The Retro board is for retro gaming, i.e. playing old games on old consoles. What little discussion that goes on in there doesnt want to be burried by VC titles and news What advantages would merging with the Retro board really give?

Pit-Jr Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I think the VC is major enough to warrant its own board. Hell i have way more VC games than Wii games as im sure alot of others do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromspark Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 VC should be a sub board below Wii, as you can't have the VC without the Wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I think it could do with it's own board. And why not get rid of the news board while you're at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 A new board for the VC would be nice. I normally don't look into the retro-board to talk about my (2) VC games and it would also make it easier to draw a line between which are VC games and just retro games.

Rummy Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 why is the board still not here? it's clearly a winner amongst the common forumers, we just need some sort of mighty admin to go forth and create it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tphi Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Guys, there's never much going on in Retro. It makes the most sense to amalgamate the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
