Only one N64 title? Nintendo’s gotta speed things up if they wanna compete with Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Online.
Nintendo should make small patry games that take advantage of the Wiimote and sell them individually for a few bucks, instead of packaging them like Wii Sports and Wii Play.

Nintendo have always wanted total control over their products and I think the VC is being done rather reluctantly hence the slow speed at which the games are coming out.

These are real games though, not just simple Arcade games.

Just download a N64 emu on your pc man, free. It looks a 100 times better as well. Such ancient games are abandonware imo. After 10 years it’s done.

1 - Illegal
2 - Keyboard never matches a hand-held controller for these types of games.
3 - It’s proper emulation, no graphical or sound glitches etc.
