Virtual Console Tennis: What’s the point?

Posted in games at 11:54 am by wingerz

Nintendo’s virtual console releases this week included Tennis for the NES. Yup, the old one, with the 8-bit graphics and non-motion-sensing controls (not to mention that you have to move your own character around). Honestly though, what’s the point of this? When someone asks you to play a game of tennis on the Wii, who in their right mind would think of the NES release over Wii Sports Tennis? I’m completely baffled and would love to see the rationale behind some of these releases.

Since it hasn’t materialized on the DS yet, here’s my dream for the Wii VC: Networked multiplayer Tetris Attack, with a Tetris DS-styled ranking system.
