The lack of Rumble Pack support for N64 games is upsetting, but I'm personally not that concerened about it. Don't get wrong it would be great if it was included and they really shoud've implemented the functionality, but it's really not such a big loss. That being said, I'm curious as to how items in games that required rumble functionality to work like The Stone of Agony in TLoZ
oT is going to be of any use now.
As for upgrades for the classics, this news is a little baffling as Nintendo had stated about a few months ago (and a few times, actually) that there was a good possibility of them releasing upgraded versions of some of the classics including audio, visual and gameplay enhancements. Concerning N64 games, they had stated that they would only be smoothing out the framerates and that adding on-line functionality for N64 games is possible, but logistically it isn't practical so they wouldn't be doing it at least in the immediate future. Duck Hunt has been confirmed to be included in the VC and would require some sort of modification or enhancement for gameplay to get it to work for either the classic controller or remote. So either way it will have to be modified.
Having only about 48 channels available with each downloadable VC game relegated to one whole channel at first does seem impractical and even stupid. But you have to remember that the channels interface is modular and upgradeable. I guarantee Nintendo will allow the proper upgrades and modifications as the need arises. There are only going to be about 30 VC games available by the first of the year after all.
