Oh man, I missed Toejam and Earl. Such an awesome game.

I like having the physical cart, the manual and the box (even though the box is in an average state...)

Haha, funny that you would wait until it is released on the Virtual Console to purchase the original cartridge, seeing as it has been availible for all these years.

CV4, however, is tempting, seeing as how good the DS versions have been.
Street Fighter, however, can burn in hell.

Yeah, but the thing is that the main appeal of the VC is that you can have ALL of these games on ONE console. You can easily access these games, you don't need extra software to run them, you don't need to jump through hoops and you are legally supporting your favorite games.
I agree that the prices of the NES games are too much (SNES and N64 games, however, I think are just fine), but you should give the VC a bit more credit.
Hell, my sister has been looking EVERYWHERE to get the GBA version of SMB to no success. The VC allows for people to experience games they loved but now can't find everywhere (and are either too lazy to download an emulator or don't want to play it on a computer).

I really hope someone is able to make it so that you can dump all of your ROMs onto the Wii, kinda like how they do it for the GBA with the ROM cart (although it would totally defeat the purpose of the VC).

This is a little off-topic, though.

Which rules? The rules of the forums or the rules of ROMs?

But a dumper will NEVER exist because the whole point of the VC is selling tiny bits of bandwidth at ankle-grabbin' prices.
I sell bandwidth for a living and I can tell you that Nintendo could sell SMB for 50¢ and still be making over 100% profit on the sale, and if you doubt me on that, remember that Apple sells songs for 99¢ which often range from 3-5MBs and yet they somehow still turn a profit and that includes making it worthwhile for the musician, the label AND Apple.
Since Nintendo already owns the rights to these games, it's pure profit for them.

Actually, I bought it earlier this month and got it last week in the mail.
I've been wanting to buy it for a looong time and finally won it at a fair price (around $16.00).
