According to a Square-Enix spokesperson, "We feel that the Japanese game market still requires [physical] media. Also, [Final Fantasy] and Dragon Quest are played by a wide range of users, from children to adults, so there are limitations when you consider the problems that we would have with billing systems."

 

Translation: Its ok to download the 'lowly' Actraiser on the VC but not our premium franchises, Final Fantasy, DQ, Chrono Trigger, and Mana because wed rather you pay full price for a rerelease with tacked on CG scenes.

 

Bummer, now i have to play these games for free on my laptop :zzz:

Final Fight!?!? Wicked! I have always been curious about this game. I allready have Streets of Rage tho, so should I fork out for this aswell? Any BIG diffrences between the two?

 

..Final Fight is only a 1 Player game..

 

Having said that, I have no idea how good the game is. I have only played Final Fight One on the GBA (which I have) and it was OK. It was no Streets of Rage in my opinion though. SOR2 beats all :heh:

"Nintendo hasn't been too forthcoming with figures form its online Virtual Console service, but today Iwata at last revealed just how well the service is performing. 3.3 million games have been downloaded worldwide through the service thus far. Sadly, he did not provide breakdowns for titles and virtual platforms."
