VC vs ROM

[RCBH928]

My question is simple

is there ANY advantage of buying games over VC than downloading them on your pc's emulator?

I think the vc's even has disadvantage of limited storage on the wii

My Wii is in my living room, infront of a nice sofa, on a 32" tv and has multiple wireless controllers.

My PC is in my bedroom, infront of an office chair, on a 17" screen and has wired, crappy logitech controllers

Absolutely not. You can get a cheap modded Xbox and play most of what VC has to offer with adequate emulator accuracy. But VC is a clever way of making money, as is everything else about Nintendo nowadays.

Whatever - do you really think we would have Sin and Punishment 2 coming to the Wii if the original had not been available, and such a huge hit, through the VC service?

Damn that's ignorant... It's almost impossible not to buy a video card w/o video out and USB adapters for real console controllers are common.
For at least 5 years now I have been playing all my emulated games on my TV in the living room with real controllers (SNES, PS2, GC, N64, Saturn, etc).

You must have a crap load of wires. I pity you.

Also, I find the general attitude in this thread to legal ownership of this media rather inappropriate - you are aware that emulation of copyrighted games is illegal?

God forbid we do something illegal. *gasp*

On a PC the graphics are better, has much better resolution and has plugin support. Plus I don't have to worry about storage problems on a PC. And about illegally downloading them if you own the cart already why pay for it twice. Its much easier to play from a PC than the cart or VC. I also know my cart and rom will work 10 years from now but my download off the Wii probably won't. I like owning my games, not leasing them for a few years. Also my setup is wireless with PS2 controllers and my PC hooked up to my 42" 1080P LCD so I pity your 17" crappy logitech setup.

why would not it work even 20 years from now? and I doubt that everybody that downloads rom, or even set of roms had bought the original cartridge before
